Re: Letter to the youth

Hi Allan,
I read your article "letter to the youth" on your blog. The "Lock and key" illustration was interesting!

I wish I could rewind time and "protect" my heart from being broken. You see, I liked this girl. She was very sweet. She liked me too and it felt we were made for each other. Unfortunately, it was not to be. We had to split before things could get worse.
It was very painful for both of us. I am not in touch with her now, but unable to stop thinking about her. But I know for sure that we can't continue to be together. I wish I had cut this relationship earlier if only I knew it would end like this. Is there a solution for my problem? Please help!!

Confused friend.

The Lion King: A reflection on Biblical themes

  A few weekends ago, we watched the 2019 rendition of the all-time classic the Lion King  as a family . And for the first time, I studied the key themes portrayed in the movie. There’s a saying that every artifact created by humans has a ‘smuggled’ in pointer that points to Christ and the redemptive story. The Lion King was not very different .    Theme 1: Stewardship of God's Creation   Mufasa, the lion patriarch, patrols the pride lands with his son Simba. While the young and enthusiastic Simba wants to see how he can use his power and privileges as a prince and future king, Mufasa tells him that his primary job is to protect. The Genesis accounts of creation, tells us of how God gave us this beautiful world to protect, nurture and have dominion over. The Psalmist in Psalms 8 says, “What is man that you are mindful of him? The son of man that you take care of him. You have made him a little lower than angels (gods). Not just protect, but God’s design from the...

FAQ's on Palm Sunday

1) Why did Jesus come riding on a donkey? To fulfill prophecy Zech 9:9. Also some scholars say that when people come riding on a donkey, in their culture, it meant they were coming with peaceful news. 2) What does Hosanna mean? Hosanna means, 'Save us NOW' 3) Why were the people shouting Hosanna and waving Palm leaves? The Jews were God's chosen people. This got into their heads. They were like the "High Caste". Everyone else was a gentile... who is like a dalit.(Just a cultural reference... not trying to propagate divisions) The very fact that Romans(Dalits) are ruling over them(High Caste) was indigestable. They were unable to overcome the Romans. The gospels say that the Roman hand was heavy upon them. They had to give taxes- One more thing they couldnt accept. "Why should I give from the income of my hard work to gentiles whom I dont want ruling over me?" They badly needed a Savior. "Jesus, Save us NOW! ... Hosanna.. Blessed is He who comes ...

Leave me alone God

The Word of the Lord came to Jonah the son of Amittai saying, “Arise, go to Nineveh the great city and cry against it, for their wickedness has come up before me.” The next time you pick up the Bible, see how the different books are introduced. They are very interesting and different! The book of Jonah, is very direct and gets straight to the point. There was a problem, God wanted someone to get down under the car with the spanner and the wrench, get dirty and clean it up and that man was Jonah. Jonah, however strongly felt that he was not the man for the job. Bible scholars tell us different reasons why Jonah acted the way he did. Nineveh was a sinful and an arrogant city. Jonah was almost certain that sharing the news was pointless there…”these people are going to ridicule me, mock me…it’s throwing pearls before swine. God – I don’t like this plan. Please change it immediately and get back to me if it would be something that would interest me and go well with my personality.” ...
