My testimony

I sat down and thought one day

Who or what am I?

My heart sank in dismay

that one day I must die.

What's the meaning of this life

I searched it all around;

and saw the mankind in a strife

till they return to ground

Where is it that I am bound?

I pondered all the day.

gave out a sigh profound -

Who knows it anyway!

I searched in dark without a ray

Till the frontier

To find out another day

The answer was so near

Knock, knock, I heard a sound

At my heart’s door

Answer to the quest I found

I’ll live forever more

... G.N.B

Forget Not

Forget not; the time you had

with no one to attend

All the words you've uttered in prayer

the Lord did comprehend

Striving in this whimsy world

never become so blind

To the love He has shown to you with

no reason there to find.

Take a breath and give it out

Praise God! you're alive

You can't control the rhythm of this heart

Then how did you survive?

Bearing with your grumbling mouth

He watched over your soul

To find at times when your heart sinks,

that He's there to console.

Forget not the time you had

with nothing to hold on

Those precious words has given you

the strength to carry on.

....... G.N.B......

How True!!

Atheist slogan
“There's probably no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life”

Word of God.
The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, their deeds are vile; there is no-one who does good........ Psalm. 14:1

Conclusion:

The person who came up with the slogan didn’t read Bible. :)

I, the convert

In India the general mass has a misconceived idea that people who ‘convert’ to Christianity are those in lower sector of the society and they do it for monetary and other benefits. The Christian missionaries and organizations are accused of converting people to their religion by luring them using such measures as food, education and better life. But people often forget that it is not just the lower class of the society which embraces Christian faith. From what I have seen in past 4 years after coming to the Christian faith; I understand that it is easy to approach a poor or needy person with gospel because he is greatly dissatisfied with his present life and is longing for a divine intervention. A person enjoying the upper class life may be running after a lot of things finding less or no time for God. But God’s love is equally there for all of us.

I came across this article in the Outlook magazine last week. It contains the testimony of Anand Mahadevan the editor of Outlook Business and many other people who were ready to take the risk for their faith. It inspired me. Please check these two links.

I, the convert:
Yours, Faithfully:

I too came from a non Christian family and had to go through much trouble because of my faith. I will share these in my blog ‘christianroad’. I will publish this once I have put down enough things.

There's probably no God!

Please hold on... that is not my message :)
I saw the following in the news today. Please check.

The slogan seems to be very interesting.
“There's probably no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life”
Two questions which came to my mind.
Q1. What is the word “probably” doing there? Is this whole project based on some assumption?
Q2. Why should you worry to acknowledge a God who loves you?

“For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him.”
Jn. 3:16,17

God is love and He loves us. So be cheerful and not worrying in acknowledging Him.

Outsourcing prayer- That worked!

I’ve been checking with my friend for last two days and came to know that he is praying and reading Bible. So that worked. Praise God!!
Now he has reached Mathew 5. He asked me a few question from what he read. I pray that God will touch him

Outsourcing Prayer

Saturday morning:
trrring.. trrring
Me: ‘Hello Good morning”
My Friend: “Good Morning. I was thinking of calling you”
Me: “hmm”
Friend: “Please pray for me. I am a little worried about my job”
Me: “I am praying. But are you praying?”
Friend: “I know it will work if you pray and that’s enough”.
Me: “I don’t think so. When did you pray last time.”
Friend: silence…..
….Looks like he doesn’t remember.
Me: “which chapter are you reading in Bible?”
Friend: “I have reached Matthew:1”
Me: “I guess you reached there two weeks back”
Friend: slience
Blah blah blah Blah blah blah
Blah blah blah

Monday morning
Me: Hie!!
Friend: “Did you pray for me?”
Me: “Of course :)”
Friend: “What did you pray.”
Me: “I prayed “lord You know my friend and You know the situation he is going through. So please answer his prayer.”
Me: “Did you pray yesterday?”
Friend: s—i—l—e—n—c—e……..

I think he will go home and pray today.
