It is often said that the worst nightmare of a man should not be that he dreams too high. Rather, it should be that he dreams too low and achieves his goal without any effort and without realizing his true potential. Well, one can safely say that the Christian church has wisely chosen the most difficult to achieve objective for purpose for its existence. Its primary goal is to spread peace and goodwill amongst all men and to create a brotherhood of human beings where there is complete harmony and happiness.
I am a Christian – but you probably guessed that fact, right? And, while it’s true that I love Jesus, I also love going out with friends (not all of whom are religious) and partying.
That said, one of the things I really do look forward to now is going to the W.I. If you didn’t know, W.I. stands for Women’s Institute, and although I am not a woman – that I am aware of – I really enjoy going to help out. Why? Because I know that when I am there I am really making a difference!
whatever happens I’ll always go to the W.I. And help out – at least for as long as I can, until I get married…if I can find any woman to put up with me, that is…
The W.I. Is a bit of an odd place…mainly because it’s just full of women. I am one of the few men who go there, so every time I do I get to enter into a secret world which very few Christian men see! One of the best things we do is organising all the old clothing to be sent to Africa. We get pretty much anything we can find, and some of the ladies even take the Lining Fabrics out of old curtains and make dresses out of it. It’s pretty amazing to know that God’s work is helping so much. Every time I come away from there I feel completely inspired.
Of course, one problem is that I do sometimes run out of things to say…it’s unavoidable…me being so much younger than most of the women there. While they sit about and nit and natter, I generally just go through the bags with my ear-phones in. That said, there is one woman there who is hilarious. Her name is Mazy and she’s always been there, if you know what I mean.
Every village probably has a Mazy. Mazy is kind and loyal and has everything in her hand-bag at all times. Basically she is the village saint and everyone knows her and she knows everyone. She’s also one of those women who you see who is really stooped with a bad back. But she never lets it get her down, and she has only ever missed one W.I. session and that was because she was “on her death bed” as she told us when she got back.
So, whatever happens I’ll always go to the W.I. And help out – at least for as long as I can, until I get married…if I can find any woman to put up with me, that is. That remains to be seen!
After many talks about the self-recognition of many young Christians who do not even know the meaning and the purpose of actually being a religious believer of the most spread religious group in the world, finally there is a reason why we should congratulate the Christian Community and the Church of Rome and Vatican. The Pope who organized the Youth Day in Madrid this year provoked millions of youths to find a way into the belief in Christ and inspired More
Prayer is a man’s conversation with God. It is the dialogue in which man can discuss anything and everything with God. When we pray we believe there is a supernatural personality listening to us, who is omnipotent, omnipresent and omniscient. And even though God knows everything we need to express our desires to Him in words as He also desires to listen from us, not only to have fellowship with us but also to record a receipt of the desires More
In our culture today we see a lot of importance given to the mother, especially by the sons. It is a common understanding that the daughters love the father more and the mothers love the son. So in a house where there are no daughters, the fathers normally get lesser attention.
I am not going to say that fathers are more important than mothers, but I will surely say that both are equally important and blessed are the children who More
The resurrection of Jesus Christ transformed the tragedy of the cross in to the glorious victory of the church. In the resurrection the divine destiny of mankind, which was designed in the past eternity, has been eternally settled. So when we enunciate the word Easter the spirit of resurrection touches our souls. The sum total of story of the Crucifixion and Easter is nothing but the Lamb turned in to the Lion. (Rev 5:5, 6) Word Easter is used in More
The bible talks about we being the ambassadors of Christ which mean God is making His appeal through us. When we accept Jesus Christ as our savior we are no more of this world but are to this world as His representation. We no longer hold the DNA of this world but our DNA Testing automatically shows the DNA of Christ.
Many of us know the significance of being an ambassador however do not discharge the duties as responsible ambassador. More
If we are to follow Jesus’real example make a real difference in our communities as Christians then we must be careful about what motivates us and what make us do what we do. Jesus’was a rebel, and the godfather of the anti-establishment.
Just this week, four people have told me how amazing their payg mobile broadband is. Then they’ve gone on to bang on – and on-and-on, in one case – about how amazing it is to have a contract mobile phone. They do this because they know that a) I have a Pay As You Go phone and don’t care much for contracts and b) they love the word amazing. Honestly? If it was me in charge I’d ban the word More
With the growing focus on parents regarding things like career and entertainment, today’s children usually have very little knowledge about the Lord, the almighty. The main reason behind the loss of faith among children is the due to the lack of teachings about Christianity and churches by their parents. They are not informed about the benefits and the peace of mind, one gets by visiting the home of God. The teachings regarding the supreme power, faith in lord should be More
