Shall we first see what bible says about honoring and caring for our parents throughout their lives? Honoring Parents: Exodus 20:12: "Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the Lord your God is giving you." Proverbs 23:22: "Listen to your father, who gave you life, and do not despise your mother when she is old." Caring for Parents: 1 Timothy 5:4: "But if a widow has children or grandchildren, these should learn first of all to put their religion into practice by caring for their own family and so repaying their parents and grandparents, for this is pleasing to God." Mark 7:10-13: "For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and mother,’ and, ‘Anyone who curses their father or mother is to be put to death.’ But you say that if anyone declares that what might have been used to help their father or mother is ‘Corban’ (that is, devoted to God)— then you no longer let them do anything for their father or mother. Thus you nullify t

Many children in Christian families take offense when their parents want to know the details of some matter, which the children want to keep it as a secret.  There are 2 important questions, which need to be addressed from a biblical perspective.  This post is an attempt towards resolving this critical tension between children and parents. Please review the following. I look forward to your feedback comments.  Q1: Can children, who are under the authority of their parents, keep secrets from their parents? The Bible emphasizes the importance of honesty and integrity. It generally encourages open communication within families. While there isn't a specific biblical verse that directly addresses the concept of children keeping secrets from their parents, several passages emphasize the principles of truthfulness, respect, and obedience. For example, Ephesians 6:1-3 (NIV) says, "Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. 'Honor your father and mother'—which

  Hi , my dear sister, brother & the church of Jesus Christ, 😍 Here's my response after listening to your problems & tears, which are discouraging you often:   Kindly study 👉  this article  carefully. Whenever church loses its love on its Lord Jesus, it cries on the lines of,  "Don't I've this rights?" "Am I not asking for the basic needs of life?" "Why am I being denied a normal life?"  But, in the midst of all such questions, don't give up on fixing your eyes on Jesus Christ.  In our perspective of life, without principles of Christ, it's just our natural self trying to reign in life & rule over loved ones with its judgemental views.  One of the strongest deceptive spirits that almost all of us get influenced & fall for it is our knowledge of bible portions with which we confidently judge our loved ones.  We'll assume Christ is powerfully working through us in restoring order and beauty in our circumstances and i

24 A person can do nothing better than to eat and drink and find satisfaction in their own toil. This too, I see, is from the hand of God, 25 for without him, who can eat or find enjoyment? 26 To the person who pleases him, God gives wisdom, knowledge and happiness, but to the sinner he gives the task of gathering and storing up wealth to hand it over to the one who pleases God. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind. Ecc 2. One of the true messages of bible is that enjoyment is a gift of God.  Our possessions, things, money, children, people can not enable us to keep enjoying the things we do.  But when we take these from the hand of God, we can have enjoyment all our life. Such gift of joy is for those who continuously strives to please God. Apostle Paul wrote to his son in the faith Timothy,  17 Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us wi

Dear all, Praise the Lord. God has blessed our Priya & Paul with a baby yesterday. 😍 As many know, they have been a shining example of faithful folks in our Lord Jesus.  This is indeed another gift from our amazingly loving father God, which they received with so much prayers in their 9 and half years of marriage.  All glory, honor, praises belong to our Lord Jesus. Please do support this sweet couple with your prayers for more strength, recovery and discharge from hospital soon.  💐 ❤️ 💐 ❤️ 💐 ❤️

If we are covering up truth so as not to irritate folks, If we are sugar-coating truth so as to please folks,  If we are masking truth so as not to be shocking to folks,  If we are engineering or doctoring communication, so as to manage perceptions of folks,  If we are yielding to folks despite our troubled conscience towards whatever we are yielding,  We have neither fear of God nor love for God in our hearts!  😢  😢  😢  😢  😢  😢 As global Christians, when we look around our own families, neighborhoods and around the world, we realize that we are called to live out the new life that has been granted to us.  This includes ridding ourselves of what does not fit the new life of light and purity into which we have been swept up by the mercies of God.  Eph. 5: 8–9.   Sexual immorality, degrading speech, falsehood, bitterness, and anger have no place in our lives anymore. It is not who we are. Eph 4:17-32. Not only do we seek purity for ourselves, we also seek God’s blessing in o

"Why do we need to go to a weekly cell group (life group)?"  we asked Rev. Paul Thangaiah yesterday when we got an opportunity to drive him from his hotel to a conference venue.  "We worship every Sunday together with all. This is important. This also involves lot of emotions and feelings.  Besides this, the most important aspect of us is our soul, which is our real person, our spiritual inner being.  We need to feed this with the word of God on very regular basis. This is very important and could happen only in the weekly cell groups (life groups)," he explained.  "So, please do go on weekly basis trusting in our Lord Jesus," he concluded with a smile.  Of course, the words with which he explained was different. This is just a recap of what we could remember and recollect. The divine strategy by which Jesus, the master of our universe, targets to bring our world to an awareness of him is to create in the midst of our world a family, a family life, a sh
