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

Bird hit aircraft…But I had the Eagle’s wing to secure

Bird hit aircraft during take off and the Eagle's wing safety net…Trust in the Lord – the only mantra why I am alive to type this… What do I blame for today's (04 April 2011) eventful take off …the events that unfolded before the flight and look at it in a superstitious manner or should I thank God for the smart and wise pilot who brought the aircraft (Airbus 319 AI 507 TVM – MAA) to grounding halt by applying emergency breaks as he was speeding on the run way to take off. Will you call this a miracle or not. I would. It was just a small bird hit, which could have gone unnoticeable. However, he stopped for a quick check and then engineers declared the aircraft not fit for flight and grounded it. What a sound judgment on the pilot's part. The thoughts that ran in my mind and the reflection are what making me intriguing and make my heart adore the Eagle who bore the aircraft to safety – The Almighty Himself. The flight disaster that which was averted today would h...
