Verse of the day
And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it.”

Pradeepa, Chennai, India.
Praise the Lord!
My name is Pradeepa. I want to share my testimony for the glory of God. I was born in a Hindu family, and It wasn't an easy journey for me when I accepted Christ as my Lord and savior. Initially, it was a tremendous joy, but my family and friends mistreated me for the new way of life. They said, "It's a sin leaving our faith and serving Jesus."
I had come across many troubles in my life. Like everyone else, I, too, had asked God, "Why do I have so much pain in life?" So often, suicidal thoughts used to torment me. It took me years to understand God's purpose for my life. Soon I understood why God permitted those troubles, pains, and sufferings... read more
The people of Israel wanted to have a king to lead, rule, and fight for them after they settled in Canaan. They tried to follow the practice that prevailed during the then-contemporary kingdoms instead of having the Lord as their King and Savior. God spoke through His Prophet Samuel about the attitude of the king and the style of his governance.
Samuel conveyed the message God wanted him to communicate to the people who were asking for a king. Let's read it from 1 Samuel 8 and verses from 10 to 18.

Some he will assign to be commanders of thousands and commanders of fifties, and others to plow his ground and reap his harvest, and still others to make weapons of war and equipment for his chariots. He will take your daughters to be perfumers and cooks and bakers...” (1 Samuel 8:10-18), ... read more
Years ago, when I was young, I traveled extensively between towns for my business. On one such occasion, accomplishing business and before leaving for my hometown, I visited a dealer whose shop was on a highway; I planned this visit because I could board any random bus from a bus stop near the dealer's outlet.
As I was ending the meeting with the dealer and about to board the bus, it started raining; I was waiting in a shelter, and when I saw the bus from afar, I started running towards it in the rain. I indicated to the driver that I wanted to board the bus; the driver saw me clearly and understood I desperately wanted to board the bus, but he chose to drive past, leaving me to continue drenching in the rain.
I have a practice of praying for God's favor in my daily life; also, I wish for His will to come to pass.
On that day, I started grumbling because God didn't hear my prayer; I had seen the highway bus drivers stopping the bus for whoever wanted to board a bus anywhere to do more business, but the same hadn’t happened to me that day. ... read more
