 The Journey of Faith: Fleeing, Pursuing, and Fighting the Good Fight In a world filled with distractions and temptations, how do we stay true to our spiritual path? How do we navigate the challenges that life throws our way while keeping our eyes fixed on eternity? These are questions that every believer must grapple with, and they form the core of a profound message about the Christian walk. At the heart of this message lies a powerful dichotomy: the call to flee from certain things and pursue others. As children of God, we are urged to run from evil and chase after righteousness. This isn't a passive journey, but an active one that requires intentionality and perseverance. The apostle Paul, in his letter to Timothy, outlines this spiritual strategy. He exhorts us to "pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness." Each of these virtues paints a picture of the Christian life: 1. Righteousness: Being morally upright and justifiable in our actions...

Introduction Recently, a Pastor visited me, and I took him to the Mall of America, the biggest mall in America.  As we were walking, we met a person who wanted to talk to us. Immediately, I realized that he wanted to share the gospel with us. I was happy and wanted to hear what he had to say. Another person joined him and tried to talk to me. The conversation and everything that happened later forced me to investigate and led me to write this. I am sharing this for information-sharing purposes and would like you to evaluate the information and beware so that you will not get trapped or deceived. Highlights from our Conversation Everything started with the statement that Christ had returned. I wanted to hear more as it was a red flag. Then it went to many prophecies, observance of Passover, Sabbath, celebration of Christmas, etc. Everyone except their church is heresy and false. Only they are accurate, and everyone else is waiting for judgment. As the conversation progressed, we sat...

Internal conflicts are everywhere these days. There are currently more than thirty-two countries going through war now. Many are dealing with civil wars, and people live in fear and turmoil. There is hunger, and people are losing hope. I know people who live in these areas, and life is tough, and with each passing day, things are getting destroyed which was once built with incredible difficulty. A building that took years to build is destroyed in a few hours. In the Bible, Jesus made a statement when he was accused of doing miracles with the help of Satan. Mathew 12:25 Knowing their thoughts, he told them, "Every kingdom divided against itself is headed for destruction, and no city or house divided against itself will stand. (CSB) Jesus knew their thoughts and replied, "Any kingdom divided by civil war is doomed. A town or family splintered by feuding will fall apart. (NLT)   Any kingdom, town, or family divided by civil war or divided will fall apart. It is not going...

One of the last instructions of Jesus Christ to his disciples was to go and make disciples of all nations. The ask was to teach these disciples to obey his commands (Matt. 28:19-20). A disciple cannot be passive in life but active in making disciples and teaching them to obey the teachings of Jesus Christ.   Today's challenge is that all resources, zoom or live meetings, and messages are not moving people to acceptance and obedience. We hear a lot weekly and know the theory very well. We may be able to take a class or preach at a conference, but in our personal lives, we miss application. It may look like the bald man trying to sell hair oil that cures baldness.     True discipleship moves us beyond information to a practical level which involves sacrifice and self-denial and is essential. Unfortunately, we often desire to do everything within our comfort zone and ensure everything is secure and will not go the extra mile. Jesus taught us to deny ourselves, ...

One thing the Bible is clear about is that God commands everyone to obey.  It teaches that Obedience is better than sacrifice.  Recently I noticed something about Ezra. Now Ezra had determined in his heart to study the law of the Lord, obey it, and teach its statutes and ordinances in Israel. (Ezra 7:10) I had always been impressed with Ezra among Bible characters. This verse stood out to me because it shows a pattern that should be followed by everyone who teaches or preaches to others. Step 1 – Determine in the heart It is a decision taken within the heart and not forced by someone else. Step 2 – Study the law of the Lord Not just read but study the word. It takes time to study something. Step 3 – Obey the word Do what was understood while studying in your personal life. Step 4- Teach others If you realize it works, take time to share it with others. Teach others what you studied and obeyed. One challenge we may have is that we will miss the order and a...
