Freely you have received, freely give.

It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, to prepare God's people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up. (Ephesians 4:11,12)

It is amazing what all people are doing for the Lord. I have been using a software called e-Sword for the past one year and it has continued to overwhelm me with all its features and add-ons. I find it a must-have tool for every student of the Bible. My dad, who preaches very often, relies on it for his preparations. But what has amazed me even more is that this impressive software is completely free.

There are other programs too. BiblePro is another similar offering. And it doesn't stop with software. There are free CD tracts, free bible study, free bibles etc. People everywhere are doing what they can, and how they can for God. It's not just about going to a Bible school, become a preacher and evangelize. Its doing what you can with whatever talents you have. Above all the motto of all these works is Matthew 10:8

"Freely you have received, freely give." (Matthew 10:8)

Praise the Lord!!

Quotations on Ministry

John Chrysostom (to his congregation) : To me it is nothing when I am applauded and well spoken of. There is only one thing I ask of you — to prove your approval of me through your works. That is how you can speak well of me, and that is what is going to do you good. This, to me, is the greatest honor. I prefer it to a material crown. I do not desire applause and being well spoken of. I have one request to make — for you to listen to me in quiet attentiveness and to put my advice into practice. This is not a theater. You don’t sit here in order to admire actors and to applaud them. This is a place where you must learn the things of God. Matthew Henry: Those who teach by their doctrine must teach by their life, or else they pull down with one hand what they build up with the other. A.W. Tozer: I do not preach any new truth. I do not have any new doctrine. . . . We must have a revival that will mean purity of heart as a normal standard for everybody. We must be clean people, and not o...

The gospel tract

Every Sunday afternoon, after the morning service at the church, the Pastor and his eleven-year-old son would go out into their town and hand out Gospel Tracts. This particular Sunday afternoon, as it came time for the Pastor and his son to go to the streets with their tracts, it was very cold outside, as well as pouring down rain. The boy bundled up in his warmest and driest clothes and said; "Ok dad, I'm ready." His Pastor dad asked, "Ready for what?" "Dad, it's time we gather our tracts together and go out." Dad responds, "Son, it's very cold outside and it's pouring down rain." The boy gives his dad a surprised look, asking "But Dad, aren't people still going to Hell, even though it's raining?" Dad answers, "Son, I am not going out in this weather." Despondently, the boy asked, "Dad, can I go? Please?" His father hesitated for a moment then said, "Son, you can go.Here a...

What's with the title?

That title may not appease everyone, but i mean it very well. How many of us have sat and thought whether Jesus dying on the cross was a blessing? Well I have.. And that's why I thank him.. Its hard to understand this logic.. but if Jesus had not shed his blood on the cross, none of us would have been here.. Who can say that they would have been saved without Christ's death? I'm sorry to say this, but none of us qualify. We are all responsible for crucifying him. Each time we sin, remember the painful blows that he had to go through for that, remember the nails driving through his body, remember the blood gushing out. And yet, he loved us. Immeasureably!!! Think about it. That's why even though i am guilty of crucifying him, i am thankful for him taking up the cross!! It's because he conquered sin and death, that i am able to write this blog. So thanks is not the right word. In fact, no word suits. I'm grateful; amazed at his love for us.... Wo...
