Simple truth

It was in the morning when I could hear the simple voice in my mind while I was doing the normal morning chores which left me baffled in wondering how simple it is to lead and live a ‘Christian life’. It just got summarized in three simple but power packed words.

■ Love

■ Listen

■ Obey

A probable degree that any Christian should have is not LLB – where you know the bible (law) but LLO, which stands for love, listen and obey (truly the bride of the groom). We have too many LLB’s and too less LLO’s hence the crisis in today’s church across the globe. Western church is too familiar with law and too technical with all the latest research and studies but less equipped in loving and obeying. Eastern Church is too busy in deeds and less focused in listening to still simple voice of its bridegroom.

I was not sure where I stand in this - west or east. And I am still pondering.

Isn’t it simple three words LLO…Love, Listen & Obey. Why complicate with all formulas and methods. I wonder what would the fathers and mystics of the church who knew the bridegroom personally will say in seeing today’s glamorous church, which lacks the glory.

Wish you a blessed season ahead!

- Christus

Quotes from the movie 'Interstellar' - to ponder

We’ve always defined ourselves by the ability to overcome the impossible. And we count these moments. These moments when we dare to aim higher, to break barriers, to reach for the stars, to make the unknown known. We count these moments as our proudest achievements. But we lost all that. Or perhaps we’ve just forgotten that we are still pioneers. And we’ve barely begun. And that our greatest accomplishments cannot be behind us, because our destiny lies above us.” - Cooper ===================  “Maybe we’ve spent too long trying to figure all this out with theory. Love is the one thing that transcends time and space.” - Amelia Brand ==================== “Murphy’s law doesn’t mean that something bad will happen. It means that whatever can happen, will happen.” - Cooper ================= Cooper: You’re a scientist, Brand. Brand: So listen to me when I say love isn’t something that we invented. It’s observable. Powerful. It has to mean something. Cooper:

B. I. A. K - Brother I Am kONFUSED ( Bishop Prays for Obama's Conversion )

The majority of the Americans voted for an outspoken and charismatic leader in Obama who claims to be a Christian by faith but supports death in all his belief. Christ came to give us life and life in fullness but here we have a leader who is against life. I am not a fanatic and I don’t want to sound like a fanatic. But the real issues today are not the symptoms we see such as AIDS, poverty in third world nations and recession in the developed & developing nations, civil war or what not. I used the word the symptoms because the real issues are more on the principles and beliefs that we have as our guiding pillars. If we believe in things which leads to moral degradation and death then what it produces only will lead to chaos and total callousness ending in death.   I am not suggesting that one should ever go against the elected representative of people – the leader but one can strive to represent the truth in the right perspective in right forums in a more amicable way whic
