Cost of Disobedience

Sharing the notes of a sermon I shared last Saturday at church. After a long time, I spoke fully in Malayalam. This is in Malayalam and has no translation.  

Main Points from the messages

  • Main Verse:-  Deut. 3:23-27
    • അക്കാലത്തു ഞാൻ യഹോവയോടു അപേക്ഷിച്ചു: 24 കർത്താവായ യഹോവേ, നിന്റെ മഹത്വവും നിന്റെ ഭുജവിര്യവും അടിയനെ കാണിച്ചുതുടങ്ങിയല്ലോ; നിന്റെ ക്രിയകൾപോലെയും നിന്റെ വീര്യപ്രവൃത്തികൾപോലെയും ചെയ്‍വാൻ കഴിയുന്ന ദൈവം സ്വർഗ്ഗത്തിലാകട്ടെ ഭൂമിയിലാകട്ടെ ആരുള്ളു? 25 ഞാൻ കടന്നുചെന്നു യോർദ്ദാന്നക്കരെയുള്ള നല്ല ദേശവും മനോഹരമായ പർവ്വതവും ലെബാനോനും ഒന്നു കണ്ടുകൊള്ളട്ടെ എന്നു പറഞ്ഞു. 26 എന്നാൽ യഹോവ നിങ്ങളുടെ നിമിത്തം എന്നോടു കോപിച്ചിരുന്നു; എന്റെ അപേക്ഷ കേട്ടതുമില്ല. യഹോവ എന്നോടു: മതി; ഈ കാര്യത്തെക്കുറിച്ചു ഇനി എന്നോടു സംസാരിക്കരുതു;27 പിസ്ഗയുടെ മുകളിൽ കയറി തല പൊക്കി പടിഞ്ഞാറോട്ടും വടക്കോട്ടും തെക്കോട്ടും കിഴക്കോട്ടും നോക്കിക്കാൺക;
    • 23 “At that time I pleaded with the Lord and said, 24 ‘O Sovereign Lord, you have only begun to show your greatness and the strength of your hand to me, your servant. Is there any god in heaven or on earth who can perform such great and mighty deeds as you do? 25 Please let me cross the Jordan to see the wonderful land on the other side, the beautiful hill country and the Lebanon mountains.’ 26 “But the Lord was angry with me because of you, and he would not listen to me. ‘That’s enough!’ he declared. ‘Speak of it no more. 27 But go up to Pisgah Peak, and look over the land in every direction. Take a good look, but you may not cross the Jordan River. (NLT)

When the Mission Field Comes Home: Navigating the Transition Back to Ordinary Life

"He who is faithful in little is also faithful in much." — Luke 16:10 People approach mission trips at times with anxiety and excitement. When you return from one of the most spiritually charged weeks of your life you watched people come to the Lord, you prayed over the sick, you wept with strangers who became brothers and sisters, you served shoulder to shoulder with your team, who became like a family from dawn until long past dark, and somehow impossibly you were never tired. The Holy Spirit felt near, almost tangible. And then you got on the plane and came back home. Within days, sometimes within hours, the weight of ordinary life comes rushing back. The inbox.

This passage has raised many questions over the years—especially a common one: If God took a rib from Adam, why don’t men today have a missing rib? And how does science relate to this account? Rather than seeing faith and science as opposing forces, we can understand this passage more deeply by recognizing what the Bible is teaching—and what it is not trying to teach. The Biblical Purpose: Meaning, Not Anatomy Genesis is not written as a medical or biological textbook. Its primary purpose is to reveal God’s design, intention, and order in creation. When God formed woman from man’s rib, the message is deeply symbolic: Not from the head – not to rule over man Not from the feet – not to be trampled From the side – to stand beside him Close to the heart – to be loved and cherished The rib signifies equality, unity...
