Heroes in the Bible:  Lazarus, Come Out! Scripture Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this? John 11:25 Have you ever wondered why God’s timing feels so different from ours? When Jesus learned that Lazarus was sick, He didn’t rush to his side. Instead, He waited two days before going to Bethany, where Lazarus had already been in the tomb for four days. Why would Jesus delay when His friend was in such desperate need? Jesus’ response reminds us that God’s plans are always purposeful. “This sickness,” He said, “is not unto death, but for the glory of God.” What situations in your life feel delayed, but may be an opportunity for God’s glory to shine? When Jesus arrived, Martha expressed her faith, saying, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died.” Jesus answered her with one of the most profound declarati...

A Timeless Garment Rooted in Culture and History The saree, a graceful and versatile garment, is often hailed as a symbol of Indian culture and heritage. Worn by women across the Indian subcontinent, the saree transcends borders, evolving in style and significance through centuries. But where did this elegant attire originate?

Historians often reference ancient texts, sculp...

Scripture "Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you." Luke 10:19 In uncertain times, many believers struggle with how to pray effectively. Jesus’ words in Luke 10:19 remind us that we have divine authority—not just spiritually, but in everyday life. This means engaging our communities and standing against evil with bold faith. Jesus gives us both supernatural power (dunamis) and delegated authority (exousia) to act on His behalf. Prayer is our weapon to activate this authority. Bold, specific prayers can shift atmospheres, expose corruption, and establish righteousness. Imprecatory prayers, as referenced by Charles Spurgeon, aren’t about harming individuals but dismantling the darkness influencing them. Throughout Scripture, God’s people stood firm against opposition. The apostles boldly proclaimed the gospel despite threats, and Paul confronted idolatry in Athens. Like...

A prophecy about Jesus Christ in Isaiah mentions various names that apply to Him. One raises questions. How is the Son of God the “Everlasting Father”?     A prophecy in Isaiah states, “For unto us a child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of peace” (Isaiah 9:6). All these titles are easily discerned except for one: Everlasting Father. God the Father What does it mean to be the Everlasting Father? We know that Scripture tells us that there is only one God the Father. The apostle Paul explained this in His letter to the Corinthian church: “For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as there are many gods and many lords), yet for us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we for Him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and through whom we live” (1 Corinthians 8:5-6). Paul also wr...

After going to a depth of two hundred meters or about six hundred and fifty feet from the surface of the sea, a different world was seen which descended into the abyssal plain. Until today it was believed that the abyss extends to a depth of six thousand meters or about nineteen thousand six hundred and eighty five feet. But today that perception has changed. The Mariana Trench is believed to be a wonder that has gone down to eleven thousand meters i.e. about thirty six thousand feet below the ocean floor. These regions are isolated due to darkness and high pressure. I don't know how many mysteries are hidden about the unique life created by the geological and biological evolution of the Earth...
