The Church: From Charity to Politics


The church was originally intended to be a community of Christ-centered, Spirit-filled people who would share the message of Jesus’ resurrection and his return by serving those in need, such as the weak, the outcast, the sick, the poor, orphans, widows, and beggars. Today, however, it often seems more like a political organization led by wealthy individuals who live in luxury and sometimes contribute to injustice rather than justice. This shift has led to actions that can humiliate the poor and mistreat the vulnerable. I'm talking about the worldwide political group that supports corrupt terrorist-lovers who want to break apart families and countries. They either support homosexuality, abortions, drugs, alcoholism, gender change, or show no mercy. In some cases, the global church appears to support divisive agendas or show a lack of compassion on important social issues.

Celebrate Jesus Christ, The Light of Life and Love, this Diwali

As we celebrate Diwali, the festival of lights, let us remember that the most profound and irreversible darkness is death. Jesus said, “I am the light of the world (John 8:12).” Further, he declared, “I am the resurrection and life... He who believes in me will live even if he dies (John 11:25).” The light of the world came to reverse the darkness of death by his resurrection and a promise of future resurrection for all who believe in him. Resurrection is the only known cure for death. Homoeopathy, Allopathy,  or Ayurveda cannot reverse death. Only resurrection can reverse death. Jesus cured death. He also cured hatred with his love. That is why no religion or philosophy has defeated the gospel even after two thousand years of Jesus' advent. Martin Luther King Jr compared love to light and hatred to darkness. He said, “Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.”  [1]   Love is light. Jesus is that loving ...

Identify the Real Threat: Secularism with a Soft Corner for Terrorism (Why I chose to become a BJP supporter)

  Dear friend, I pray that God will help you see the present reality of the world and India. I hope you are reading the Bible and the world news every day. The Congress and Communist party leaders in Kerala regularly conducted Save Palestine and Free Palestine rallies. One day, I saw many posters stuck on the posts and walls. The face looked familiar. I came close and saw that it was SinWar. SinWar was the mastermind of the October 7, 2023, terrorist attack on Israel. I thought people hated him and they were happy that he died. I was mistaken. They wrote many Arabic verses and celebrated his martyrdom to save Palestine.   I support Israel and America. I can't support Hamas politicians. I love good Islamic countries like the UAE and Saudi. However, as a Christ-follower, I can't support terrorist favoring countries. On October 7th, Hamas sent many rockets into Israel, successfully defeating their iron dome. After that, they sent armed militants who did...

“Tarakki (Development) Aur (and) Azadi (Freedom),” We want Both! (A writing from my first-time visit to the UAE)

“Tarakki (Development)” is the one thing our government failed to do for us,” said the Pakistani driver who drove us through Dubai on the first day. He continued, “When bhukmari (starvation), gundagardi (hooliganism), and berozgari (unemployment) abound in Pakistan, our politicians still seek honor through revenge for their political mileage. That is why we have to work here in disrepute in pitiable conditions. If our politicians knew how to develop our country: its roads, streets, hospitals, education, and tourism, today, Insha Allah, the Arabs would seek work in my country.” His gloomy face mirrored how betrayed he felt by his leaders.   As I reflected on it, it seemed that our (Indian) condition was no different. We are better than Pakistan, I reasoned. Even so, our politicians have created such a mess that when we compare ourselves with the rest of the world, only one word comes to mind: shame. For the first time, I had traveled to a different country. Mo...
