Rules to Live By...or Not
Humor
Words Are Weapons
It disappoints and frustrates me that my children are so often unkind to one
another and so quick to make foolish comments that have no constructive
purpose. Yet it's even more troublesome when adults engage in the same
senseless behavior.
Choices you can make to
change your life forever
The direction of our lives is determined by the choices we make every
day. They accumulate and add up to our ultimate destiny. Success in life
is not a gift. It doesn’t just fall on people like ripe pawpaw! It is a
choice that you have to make.

real to us.

Lent: A Faithful Pilgrim's Progress
Christian is one who is in Christ. The faithful is always in a journey. This
journey has been likened to the journey of the Israel to the promised land
from the crutches of Pharaoh. The entry of Heavenly Church necessitates a
journey which all faithful has to traverse and it is more or less a
pilgrim’s progress in his spiritual journey.
Reflections
on Lenten Prayers
When I started to use the Lenten prayer some years ago I was baffled by the
often repetitious and somewhat jumbled nature of these lengthy prayers. It
took me some time to get to grips with these prayers.
The
Lenten Prayer of St Ephrem the Syrian
Why does this short and simple prayer occupy such an
important position in the entire lenten worship? Because it enumerates
all the "negative" and "positive" elements of repentance and constitutes a "check list" for our individual lenten
effort. This effort is aimed first at our liberation from some
fundamental spiritual diseases which shape our life and make it
virtually impossible for us even to start turning ourselves to God.
What shall we do
then? True Repentance
Speeches and sermons are in abundance, exhortations are close to the
ears, conventions are competitive, and pulpits are live with theology; yet
the cry of the broken heart is not to be heard today. The concept of sin
consciousness is overtaken by superfluous spirituality and confession has
become a ritual formality.
The Last Judgment
No one is so patient and so merciful as God, but even He does not forgive
those who do not repent. The God of love is also a God of righteousness, and
when Christ comes again in glory, He will come as our Judge. This is the
message of Lent to each of us: turn back while there is still time, repent
before the End comes.
Lenten Prayers
- My Experience
When I started living away from my family for my higher studies, daily
prayers that was engrained in me as a deep rooted habit by then, remained
with me, and provided me with much needed refuge and strength.
