Immigration Bill

The talk among the people in US these days is about the Immigration Bill. People whose green card is in process, who plan to apply, companies who bring people on H1B etc are all worried and waiting to see the outcome. Lot of things have been said and debated. People who are in US illegally are fighting to get themself legal and those who are legally here are finding it difficult. Only time will tell what will happen. People fear that rules may change and what will happen to their chances of settling down in US. Many feel some rules are unfair and others feel otherwise. The issue finally is about getting citizenship.

Now all this makes me to think about a citizenship which is promised in Bible. Phil 3:20 says “But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ”. Rules for getting citizenship there never changes. Its same for last 2000yrs. Since the time Jesus died on the cross, the heavens immigration office is open 24 hrs and its accepting application 24/7 and is also accepting everyone. No one is rejected there.

But the problem is that people are not considering it because its free and they are not thinking about eternity. People who want to settle in US say that they and their children have a future here. But the question here is have you taught beyond this life.

When we die it is not going to matter as to what was our Visa status or to which country we belong. The only thing which will matter is that whether you have accepted Jesus Christ in your life or not. According to Bible we have only two options and no third option. Either we will go to heaven or to hell.

Have you ever thought about it. Rules of this world will keep changing. Visa rules will change. Climatic conditions will keep on changing. But the only thing which will not change is the Word of God(Bible).

Will you consider thinking about your life for sometime and think about your eternity.

A Ministry Giant with a Painful Home

When we think of John Wesley, we often remember him as the founder of Methodism, the fiery preacher on horseback, and the man God used to bring revival across England. Yet behind the powerful ministry was a personal life marked by deep struggle—particularly in his marriage to Mary “Molly” Vazeille Wesley . A Difficult Union Wesley married Molly, a wealthy widow, in 1751. Their marriage, however, quickly became strained. Wesley’s relentless ministry schedule—often gone for months traveling and preaching—left Molly feeling neglected and resentful. Mistrust grew as she accused him of improper attachments to female supporters, though no evidence of misconduct was ever proven. Their conflicts became public, damaging Wesley’s reputation at times. Eventually, Molly left him, returning only briefly before leaving permanently in 1771. Wesley wrote bluntly in his journal: “I did not forsake her, I did not dismiss her, I will not recall her.” Pain in the Parsonage Wesley once desc...

Role of Miracles in Church Growth

In the modern church, there is often debate about the place of miracles. Are they still needed? Do they have a role in evangelism or church growth today? To answer that, we must look back at the early church — specifically, the book of Acts — and ask: What role did miracles play in the growth of the church then? The book of Acts is more than a history of the first-century believers; it’s a blueprint for mission, a testimony of the Holy Spirit’s power, and a record of how a small group of people turned the world upside down — in part, through miraculous signs and wonders . Let’s explore the key roles miracles played in the expansion of the early church and what we can learn from them today. 🔹 1. Miracles Validated the Gospel Message In a time when many claimed religious authority, miracles served as a divine signature, authenticating the message of Jesus Christ . “Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles.” – Acts 2:43 Signs and wond...

What’s in a Title? Reflections on 'Reverend' and the Use of Titles in Ministry

Introduction: A Name, A Title, and a Tension In certain Christian circles, few things stir more debate than the use of titles—especially religious ones—before someone’s name. The title Reverend often becomes the center of this debate. Interestingly, although I personally do not use Reverend in my own introductions or communications, I often find it added to my name when others design flyers or introduce me at meetings. When I’ve had the choice, I’ve preferred simpler, context-appropriate titles like Pastor or Dr. , depending on the occasion. This isn’t merely a personal preference; it opens a broader discussion. Why does the use of titles trigger such strong responses? And what can Scripture, culture, and even language history teach us about this? The Meaning, Origin, and Use of the Title "Reverend" The word Reverend comes from the Latin word "reverendus" , which means "worthy of reverence" or "to be revered." It is a passive form of the L...
