New turn in my Life


In our life we see many turns. Some turns are very sharp but some are just another diversion. One question we should ask ourselves before we take is turn is - "Am I in God's will?"

Many times turns can be new chapters in our lives which we never expected to start. With every new chapter there is an expectation and anticipation. This week I started a new chapter in my life. I started with Master of Arts in Theological Studies at North Western College in St.Paul, MN. It all happened so quick that I could see the blessing of God in this matter.

It was a promise which God gave me many years ago, around ten I think. He said you will study in a Bible college in USA. At that time I couldn't imagine that I will ever study in a Bible College. But years have passed and times have changed. He has finally opened a way for me to study.
It was great to start this program. Some times we think if its necessary for men of God to study to serve the Lord. I now think that to effectively teach others you should learn first. I can write many points in support of that. I don't want to do it now.

So lot of challenges are ahead as lot of assignments and reading and research is awaiting me as I go through this program. I am excited as well as nervous. Going back to class room after so many years was great. But it was a fulfillment of God's promise. I want to say it again - My God is faithful in fulfilling all his promises. I know its tough with my job and taking care of a growing church and then to do this program. But I remember what Paul said, "I can do all things through the one who gives me strength" (Phil 4:13).

Keep me in your prayers!

Orthodox Christianity and Beliefs

Over the years, we have seen people switch from one religion to another. Every religion, in some way, seeks to gain new converts. Some groups do not accept others, while others actively welcome those who are seeking truth. Even within Christianity, people often change denominations or groups. Most of the time, this happens because they are seeking better alignment with the Bible , or they have gained new understanding of their faith. For example, many have moved from Orthodox traditions to Protestant churches, sometimes finding a home in Pentecostal fellowships. In recent years, I have also met people who have moved in the opposite direction—from Protestant backgrounds to Orthodox traditions—often citing reasons like their love for liturgy and a sense of historic continuity with the early church. Key Differences to Understand When we look at why people switch, it is helpful to understand the differences between how various groups see Scripture, Tradition, and Revelation : Sc...

Fellowship or Groupism?

One of the greatest blessings of being part of a church is fellowship. Fellowship is more than just casual interaction; it is a spiritual bond that unites us as one body in Christ. In a time when the world is becoming increasingly isolated and people are drowning in loneliness, fellowship is not optional—it is vital for our growth in the Lord and for the health of the church. Unfortunately, what often creeps into churches today is not true fellowship but groupism . Groupism happens when people only relate, talk, and associate with a few selected individuals, closing themselves off from the rest of the body. Instead of building bridges, groupism builds walls. Fellowship vs. Groupism Fellowship : Inclusive: Welcomes everyone as part of the body of Christ. Christ-centered: Built on love, prayer, and encouragement in the Lord. Strengthening: Helps each believer grow stronger in faith. Reflects heaven: Displays unity in diversity, showing the love of God to the world. Groupism...
