"And now abide faith, hope and love, these three; but the greatest of these is love." (1 Cor. 13:13) It is a lovely Autumn day as I write this. An evening rain has led to a brisk morning. There is a freshness in the air too that makes my lungs expand with joy. The sun...
"Then he said to them, 'Go your way, eat the fat, drink the sweet, and send portions to those for whom nothing is prepared; for this day is holy to our Lord. Do not sorrow, for the joy of the LORD is your strength.'" (Neh. 8:10) I was able to make a fresh start...
"There is a time for everything. He has made everything beautiful in its time. I know that everything God does will endure forever; nothing can be added to it and nothing taken from it." (Ecclesiasted 3:1,11,14) We strolled casually along, crunching dry leaves...
"And I heard a voice from heaven saying, 'Write this: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.' 'Blessed indeed,' says the Spirit, 'that they may rest from their labors, for their deeds follow them!'" (Revelation 14:13 ESV) [1] The last phrase in this...

In the concluding part of our series "YES BOSS" , we come to yet another Biblical instance, were the Lord showed who is the "real boss"….so here goes… Hear ye, Hear ye! Seeing is believing! Come, see and believe…a lowly Passenger (actually a prisoner being transported...
The Writing on the Wall episode in the fifth Chapter of the Book of Daniel (27th Book in the Bible) is one of the MOST melodramatic incidents at once evoking awe on the omniscience of God. There was that indulgent Babylonian King -Belshazar- in one of the Rev parties...
"Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you." (1 Peter 5:7) Tiny, fat puffs of feathery snow, gently, silently floated down from heaven to earth. Coming from a tropical climate, I was mesmerized. It was thrilling to watch the awesome, magnificent sight. I...
