Matthew 11 : 28 - 30

Do you know that whether you succeed or fail in coping with adversity depends largely on the company you keep in life? What do we mean by this? Continue reading “The Herald Weekly Vol XVIII : 11”
Saul, the strict Pharisee of his day thought that he was fulfilling the will of God when he led his fellowmen to destroy churches, throw stone at preachers and put Christians in prison in Jerusalem and elsewhere. His fiery zeal saw him persuading a throng of fanatics to stone Stephen, one of the seven deacons, to death outside the city of David. But his life took a drastic and dramatic turn during his travel to Damascus. Continue reading “The Herald Weekly Vol XVIII : 10”
In How God Became King, N. T. Wright, asked questions people often think: “If God is really king, why is there still cancer? Why are there still tsunamis? Why are there still tyranny, genocide, child abuse, and massive economic corruption?” [1] To these questions, we may add, “Why the COVID-19 virus outbreak?” These questions reflect a common sentiment, “Where is God when I am suffering?” Continue reading “The Herald Weekly Vol XVIII : 9”
Two Christian brothers met with a motor accident, but it was not without a purpose.

“Who is my neighbor?” a lawyer asked Jesus (Luke 10:29).
The lawyer had made the mistake of trying to catch the law’s author contradicting the law by asking how he should inherit eternal life. The author turned the tables by asking the lawyer what he thought the law said. Continue reading “The Herald Weekly Vol XVIII : 4”
“Whatever is born of God overcometh the world; and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.” (1 John 5:4).
Only those who have been born of God are the only true overcomers. The Bible says Christians are overcomers because we have overcome the world and are known as victors who have defeated the world. It is in John’s writings that Christians are addressed as the ones who have overcome and conquered the world. In the past, human beings were never thought to be capable of becoming conquerors. Only the Greek gods and goddesses were believed to be conquerors and unconquerable. The name Nike belonged to a Greek goddess who was believed to be unconquerable.
