Spiritual need touches every class in India, whether traditional village
farmers who have practiced the ways of their fathers for hundreds of
years, or workers in its new and fast-growing hi-tech industries. In
cities like Bangalore, Hyderabad/Secunderabad and Delhi, a new and
upwardly mobile class represents unique challenges. "The rapid growth of
the high-tech industry in India, provides one of the newest, largest,
and most influencial unreached people groups in the country," according
to Dr. T. Valson Abraham (President of India Gospel Outreach).
Eight Signs You Are a Deceived Backslider

There are millions of deceived people in this nation who believe they
are still following Christ when in fact they are not. What makes it
deceiving is that some are still regularly attending Sunday church
services and/or reading the Bible and praying on occasion. Before
we continue let me first define what I mean in this article by the word
“backslider.” By backslider I mean a person who is losing ground
spiritually and is not as committed to growing, seeking, and loving
Christ as they did at one time in their life. Backsliding is a
spiritual disease that many leaders are afraid to confront and many in
the church are afraid to admit. Some of these signs may fit a
backslider, but in many cases just one of these signs is enough to fit
the category of backslider.

Moved by the Holy Spirit, the man instantly composed a song which became famous down the years. He sang: I have decided to follow Jesus. (3 times) No turning back, no turning back. Enraged at the refusal of the man, the chief ordered his archers to arrow down the two children. As both boys lay twitching on the floor, the chief asked, “Will you deny your faith? You have lost both your children. You will lose your wife too.” But the man sang these words in reply: Though None Go With Me, Still I Will Follow (3Times) No Turning Back, No Turning Back . . . . . The World Behind Me, The Cross Before Me (3 times) No Turning Back, No Turning Back. He was shot dead like the rest of his family. But with their deaths, a miracle took place.Yasmeen Suri - From Loss of Control To God in Control

Yasmeen Suri was born in India to a Sikh family. They moved to America when
she was a child. She didn't speak English, and unfortunately, because of
her ethnicity, she was the brunt of cruel jokes from the other
children. She says, I felt a sense of loss of control of my life. So I
thought the more I could get of knowledge and spiritual experience, the
more I would be able to control my environment and the more I would be
able to control people. I started getting into horoscopes. I started
studying about psychics and witchcraft, I would begin to have demons
reveal themselves to me on a continual basis and they would just speak
to my spirit that I had been born for a purpose and that purpose would
be fulfilled. As an adult, Yasmeen was engrossed in the occult. See how she turned her life completely around!Yasmeen Suri Shares Her Testimony Of How She Became A Christian

There are benefits and pressures of having more than one culture. On
the one hand, young diaspora Asians have the best of both worlds. Their
life experience can be seen as richer and more diverse than those who
have knowledge of only one culture. They can have bhangra and rock,
chapatis and chips, Bollywood and Hollywood. On the other hand,
they have to balance the demands of living in cultures which sometimes
conflict with each other. Some feel they don’t fully belong to any
culture, never fully accepted in either world. Former Singapore Gangster Turned Dynamic Preacher Inspires Many

A young man, slapped with all the addictions one can possibly imagine,
being freed from them by the power of the Gospel, as he testifies. Referring
to himself as a street gangster turned preacher, Victor King relates
how though he was raised in a Christian family, he was rebellious and
went on a seemly irreversibly downhill trajectory as he got involved in
a gang, picked up smoking, started skipping school, stealing,
vandalising, drinking and getting into fights. Finally he was
expelled from school at the age of 17 because of his bad attitude and
poor attendance and became a fulltime gangster. In the
ministry website where he posted his life testimony, King relates how
everything came to a head when he became a very heavy smoker, got
hooked on alcohol, was full of obscenities, got addicted to
pornography, started womanising, stayed away from home most of the
time, associated with drug addicts and ex-convicts and even got
involved in armed robberies.

As a pastor for more than 26 years, I have a desire to help everyone. But, I have learned the hard way that I cannot help every person who attends our church or who comes to me for input. The following are ten kinds of people I have identified that are so entrenched in certain habit patterns that I cannot help them advance to the next level unless they make the necessary shift in their attitude or behavior.Anil Kant - Ibadat Karo [Worship Him] Youtube Video

Laminin is a family of glycoproteins that are an integral part of the structural scaffolding in almost every animal tissue. Laminin is vital to making sure overall body structures hold together. It has four arms that can bind to four other molecules. The three shorter arms are particularly good at binding to other laminin molecules, which is what makes it so great at forming sheets. The long arm is capable of binding to cells, which helps anchor the actual organs to the membrane. "Electron microscopy reveals a cross-like shape for all laminins investigated so far." AMAZING SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERY!

The Whole Gospel - A Total Gospel And Not A Personal Or Social Gospel
- By Pritam Singh Sandhu
- Published 08/5/2010
- Apologetics

A gospel of total salvation means we have a total relationship with Jesus.
You know, evangelicals like to ask, “Do you have a personal
relationship with Jesus?” You know how I answer that question today? “I
don’t have a personal relationship with Jesus. I have a
totalrelationship with Jesus.” Personal relationship means it’s an
individualistic, one-on-one relationship, and it’s a private matter.
It’s personal. It’s private. My relationship with Jesus is anything but private. My relationship with
Jesus is not restricted to only my religious life, so to speak. All
areas of my life, the totality of my life, my whole life – body, soul,
mind, feelings – all my life is under the Lordship of Jesus Christ. We
serve God not only in church, not only when we pray or lead a Bible
study or evangelize. We serve God with all our lives, whether at work or
play or school.
Missions - Measuring Depth of Commitment

Mission-minded churches attempt great things for God and expect great
things from God. There are members who are good at making comments and
criticism about what is and should be happening. As a result there is
undue concern for self maintenance (cleaning nets), rather than obeying
God’s voice or meeting people’s needs. Obedience always leads to
blessing; delayed obedience is disobedience. Faith missions is simply
taking God at his word. Attempt something so great, that it’s doomed to
fail except God be in it!
Satan’s Top Ten List for Christians

Many people in the church are so emotionally incapacitated due to father
or parental wounds they do not have a healthy view of any authority in
their lives. When someone comes to Christ these emotional issues
don’t automatically go away. Unless someone intentionally points out
these areas and aids a person in repenting of their mistrust of
authority, most with these wounds will have a hard time receiving
correction from any form of spiritual authority. Satan will even plant
seeds into the minds of Christians regarding blame shifting (blaming
others for their own sins and failures, and not taking personal
responsibility) when their pastor preaches a strong message involving
correction for sin, or when a spiritual authority has to give them
correction. Some get angry and might even leave the church.
Men and Porn

At the core of consuming porn is selfishness. I will get my fix. No one
will know. It is my secret. It is what I do in private. My dad did it.
Everyone does it and I am going to as well. Porn is a fantasy
designed to do one thing - keep you completely to yourself. It is a
lie. Porn tries to tell you what sex should feel like and look like.
Porn will destroy the relationships around you. You will pull away from
reality because of this dirty little secret. As you consume porn, it
becomes your life and you will eventually lose control to addiction.
Stop now. Be done with it all. Change today because there are much
greater things than porn to give your time, money and energy to.

So maybe pastors aren't sharing their life out in the open because they
are afraid of the consequences. Let's face it- all we have in ministry
is our integrity. Once that is gone, it's gone. Most likely, if you're
caught viewing porn or are caught in your addiction, you're toast at
your job. This is what we face. Transparent living is crazy scary, but
it's the life we have been called to lead. This issue is so
"in our faces" that we can't ignore it anymore, no matter how it
affects us personally. And it will affect us personally. It's all
personal. When you uncover something that was buried for years, it
hurts. When it's a loved one, it hurts.
