I was preparing for service that night when I stumbled on these words in my bible, “I am sorry Lord for yesterday”. Definitely, that is not a bible verse. It was a thought I penned down some years back as I studied the word. It jumped at me once more. It was right under these verse: “I have found David, […]
Our childhood friends had lovely bicycles at different times. We would join them to ride. They had other lovely games also. Some of them were gifts from their relatives. One of those days, I went to Dad to ask that he should also buy us bicycles too. Daddy’s response became a life mantra, “Son, we give you what we can […]
I looked at my proteges that night and said to them, “I pray the blessings of the Lord more for those who hurt me”. They obviously needed more explanation.

When Dad called my brother for service that evening, I am so sure he did not expect what my brother said. My brother said, “Must it be church all the time?” My dad (the pastor of the church) did not utter a single word. He simply turned around and went to church. Honestly, every man must be able to stand […]
