Walk The Bible

The well known survivor of Nazi concentration camps by God's grace, Corrie Ten Boom writes in her book titled, " A Prisoner and yet... " While being imprisoned at Vught prison camp by Nazis, the women of Harlem (A town in Holland from where Corrie Ten Boom hails from) used to sing the following song under their pressing conditions: " We never let our courage fall, We hold our heads up high. They never, never will prevail, No matter how they try. Onward we press, our word is 'yes', Heads up, you women of Vught, heads up. " Their faith in the living God is the source of their confidence to sing the above song under such a horrible in-human treatment by Nazis. What an assurance of peace it is to know that the Joy of the Lord is indeed our strength as we go through the pressures of life and fight against the principalities of this dark world. It is in such circumstances as these that the character of christ is formed in us. Unless the seed dies, it canno

Most people struggle with this question of identity at some point in their life. But this is a very important question which needs to be addressed. I try to address this question based on what Bible says about my identity. Until few years back, I struggled with this question and lived a life of "no identity, no purpose". Once I found the answer to this question, life became meanignful and I could face all those times of frustration, disappointment and boredom. The straight answer to this question is " I am the son of living God, who is the creator of heaven and earth ". In the very first page of bible, it was clearly mentioned that every individual is created in the image of God, irrespective of race, status, sex. " God said, Let Us [Father, Son, and Holy Spirit] make mankind in Our image, after Our likeness, and let them have complete authority over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, the [tame] beasts, and over all of the earth, and over everything tha

Job's life was reviewed and testified by three people as we read in the bible. He was testied by the author and God as "This man was blameless and upright; he feared God ahd shunned evil" . Satan confesses about the blessedness of Job, "Have you(God) not put a hedge around him and his household and every thing he has? You have blessed the work of his hands, so that his flocks and herds are spread throughout the land." From Job's life we see that Satan tries to accuse God's people all the time. But we need to take courage because God has washed our sins and made us righteous through the blood of Jesus Christ. As long as you take refuge under the blood of Jesus Christ, you have right standing before God. After his children were wiped out, his wealth was destroyed by various attacks created by Satan, after losing everything, Job submits himself with humility under God's might hand with an attitude of worship and worships God saying, "Naked I came f

"He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver." Malachi 3:3 This verse puzzled some women in a Bible study And they wondered what this statement meant about the character and nature of God. One of the women offered to find out the process of refining silver and get back to the group at their next Bible Study. That week, the woman called a silversmith and made an appointment to watch him at work. She didn't mention anything about the reason for her interest beyond her curiosity about the process of refining silver. As she watched the silversmith, he held a piece of silver over the fire and let it heat up. He explained that in refining silver, one needed to hold the silver in the middle of the fire where the flames were hottest! as to burn away all the impurities. The woman thought about God holding us in such a hot spot; then she thought again about the verse that says: "He sits as a refiner and purifier of silver." She asked the silversmith if
