Praise the Lord! I was thinking about giving a talk about the "Temple of God" the other day. I've made mental notes on this subject so that I can present it to the group in the morning. It was Ganesh's time to speak the Word of God today. And boy, he picked up the verses from 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 . What a fortunate coincidence! We are one in Christ, and we are all directed by the Holy Spirit. Both of us were led by the Holy Spirit to talk about the same thing. Thank you very much, Jesus. Let us now turn our attention to God's word. "God's Temple." Our God created the entire cosmos, but He chose to live among us in our mortal bodies. Isn't that incredible? Yes, God wants to reside in you and your body serves as His temple. Allow this to settle in your heart and mind: God resides in you. The creator wishes to reside within you. I'm at a loss for words when it comes to describing the amazing concept of God abiding in man. How can our bodi...

One of my team members provided this interesting bible verse during today's early morning bible session. I was so enthralled by the concept that I decided to share what I had learned with everyone. My son , if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee; Proverbs 2:1 (KJV) Before I go into detail about what I've learned, I'd like to draw your attention to one point. The author begins this chapter with the words "My son." Isn't that incredible? The word 'my' means "belonging to." My son denotes “close relationship”. 'My Son' means "you belong to God" and have a special relationship with Him. Hallelujah! It's possible that no one cares about you. But keep in mind that you are God's child and have a special place in HIS heart. The fact that you're a child of God means that you don't need to live in fear or despair. When the Heavenly Father addresses you as "My Son," it...

My nephew asked me to help him write an essay about 'teacher's day.' I did help him with the composition of his essay.  In India, September 5th is Teacher's Day.  So, instead of writing a blog post today, I'm penning a few lines about my teacher, " Jesus ." I can't express how much I admire my teacher ( Jesus ); in fact, no one on this planet could really articulate how amazing a teacher he is. Jesus was called Rabbi (Rabbi means a Jewish scholar or teacher, especially one who studies or teaches Jewish law). John 1:38, 49 Jesus would teach complicated concepts in an easy-to-understand manner. He would teach in parables, and if something was unclear, he would simplify it and make it plain. He did a lot of one-on-one (e.g. Samaritan woman, Nicodemus) and group sessions (e.g. Sermon on the Mount). Jesus taught people wherever he went. He taught them at the beach and on boats. He taught them in their homes and while travelling. Jesus walked from pl...
