DEVOTIONAL MESSAGE MY DREAM ABOUT THE UNITY OF CHURCHES By H.G. Dr. Geevarghese Mar Osthathios Metropolitan [Diocesan Metropolitan of Niranam Diocese & President of Charity Trusts , Malankara Orthodox Church]

The entrusted mission of the Church is huge and wide. Our commissioned mission is not to be confined for a small territory, but to extent it further to the extreme end of the world. The Church should be empowered and enforced to face the growing agnostics, atheist and skeptics in the society and to cope with the challenges of skepticism and mundaneness. Church should exhibit to the society warmth of the love of God. Church should be a stream of still water where thousands can drink from it and quench their spiritual thirst. Charity is one of the most needed faces of the Church. CLICK HERE FOR FULL MESSAGE

COVER MESSAGE BE A WITNESS FOR THE TRUTH By Dr K.C.Nainan, Atlanta, Georgia, U.S.A

God is the ultimate truth. Jesus Himself said that ‘ I am the truth.’ Because He always spoke and defended truth, He became a witness for truth; His enemies put Him to death on the cross. Our Lord wants every Christian believer to be a witness for Him. Our Lord’s apostles, disciples and early Christians were powerful and dedicated witnesses for the living Lord. We are always called to be living witnesses for our Savior. If we deny our Lord in this world, He will deny us before His Holy Father and angels in the next world. CLICK HERE FOR FULL MESSAGE

ARTICLE GOD'S TIME - MAN'S TIME : WHOSE TIME? - PART 1 By Rev. Dr. Valsan Thampu

The relationship between God's time and man's time is of utmost significance. All of time belongs to God. Materialism makes sense on the scale of man's time. The fact that a thousand years are like an evening gone embodies a profound paradox: human life is incomparably significant; whereas human actions and achievements are, in themselves, woefully insignificant in the light of eternity. Our life is God's invention and He attaches immeasurable value to it. CLICK HERE FOR FULL MESSAGE

ARTICLE DEVIL'S HAUNTING By E.S. John Australia

Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation; the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. Be of sober spirit, be on the alert.

But resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same experiences of suffering are being accomplished by your brethren who are in the world. CLICK HERE FOR FULL MESSAGE

ARTICLE WISDOM FROM ABOVE By Rev. Fr. John Thomas Karingattil

Jesus excelled in the doctrines endued with a divine knowledge. The teachings of Jesus were of His father who had sent Him to this earth.

God had given His only begotten son, a mysterious name, but very precious, Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. Now the Lord of hosts is with us. The eternal promise given by Jesus is, I am with you always, even to the end of the age. CLICK HERE FOR FULL MESSAGE
