Today, April 17th 2021, the body of HRH The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, is laid to rest in what has been described as a fitting family funeral for one who lived his life unassumingly in the shadows of Her Majesty the Queen. Like many others in our nation, indeed across the world, my thoughts…

Questioning the Quran #80:24-31
فَلۡيَنظُرِ ٱلۡإِنسَـٰنُ إِلَىٰ طَعَامِهِۦۤ (٢٤) أَنَّا صَبَبۡنَا ٱلۡمَآءَ صَبًّ۬ا (٢٥) ثُمَّ شَقَقۡنَا ٱلۡأَرۡضَ شَقًّ۬ا (٢٦) فَأَنۢبَتۡنَا فِيہَا حَبًّ۬ا (٢٧) وَعِنَبً۬ا وَقَضۡبً۬ا (٢٨) وَزَيۡتُونً۬ا وَنَخۡلاً۬ (٢٩) وَحَدَآٮِٕقَ غُلۡبً۬ا (٣٠) وَفَـٰكِهَةً۬ وَأَبًّ۬ا (٣١) Grass Undermines the Qur’an’s Authority The tafsir set this surah in what is assumed to be Mecca, Saudi Arabia, though that is never actually indicated. The reason why Mecca is assumed…
A Blind Man Seeks Help
A comparison of the Surah 80:1 (Qur’an) with Mark 10:46-52 (Bible), and what each passage teaches us about Muhammad and Jesus Christ respectively.
Perfectly Kept
Monday mornings are probably not the perfect time for a grammar lesson, but then, it’s often said “there’s no time like the present”. There’s also no tense quite like the Perfect, but I suppose all tenses have unique characteristics. I’m not going to elaborate on all the tenses here, but for the purposes of enjoying…
Good News for Sinners
‘This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief.’ 1 Timothy 1:15 [NKJV] I Am A Sinner Admit this, and this verse of Scripture holds good news for you. Deny it knowingly, and Jesus Christ cannot help you. However,…
పరిస్తితి ఉన్నప్పటికిని మనం ఈ ఆదరణకరమైన వాక్యం మీద ఆధారపడవచ్చును
[By Aditya Swathi B.] నిన్ను విడువను నిన్ను ఎడబాయను, నిబ్బరముగలిగి ధైర్యముగా నుండుము Joshua 1:5,6 The LORD said to Joshua … ‘I will not leave you or forsake you. Be strong and courageous’ (Joshua 1:5,6 – ESV). గొప్ప నాయకుడైన మోషే చనిపోయిన తరువాత , బహు విస్తార జనాంగమైన ఇశ్రాయేలీయులను నడిపించుటకు యెహోషువా భయపడి ఉండవచ్చును. అందుకే దేవుడు అంత గొప్పగా ధైర్యం చెప్పెను….
The Beginning of Hope – Jesus Christ’s Resurrection Prophesied
In these uncertain days, the Bible gives us great comfort and encouragement, for it tells us there is hope. The first reference to this HOPE is found in Acts 2:26, and is actually a quotation from Psalm 16:9. In Acts 2, Peter is explaining to the crowds gathered in Jerusalem for the Feast of Pentecost,…
Time how swift.
While with ceaseless course the sunHasted through the former year,Many souls their race have run,Never more to meet us here:Fix’d in an eternal state,They have done with all below;We a little longer wait,But how little none can know. As the winged arrow flies,Speedily the mark to find;As the lightning from the skiesDarts and leaves no…
శుభవార్త
1 ) మనము అందరము పాపులము.2 ) దేవుడు నీతిమంతుడు మరియు పరిశుద్దుడు.3 ) మనము నిత్య శిక్షకు పాత్రులము.4 ) దేవుడు ప్రేమైయున్నాడు. మనలను ప్రేమించుచున్నాడు.5 ) మన పాపముల శిక్ష భరించుటకు దేవుడు తన కుమారుడైన యేసు క్రీస్తును పంపెను. అయన మరణించి తిరిగి లేచెను.6 ) యేసు సజీవుడైయున్న రక్షకుడు.7 ) మనము మన పాపములు విషయమై పశ్చాత్తాపపడి, ఆయన యందు నమ్మికుంచినయడల, మనము రక్షింపబడుదుము. మనము క్షమాపణ పొందుదుము. పరిశుదాత్మ వలన…
Can a Christian lose their salvation?
I want to begin in 1 John. In chapter 1:5, John begins with an absolute: ‘God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all’. Verse 6 logically follows: ‘if we say’ (in other words, if we profess to be a Christian), but ‘walk in darkness’ – this is not a slip or a…
Give a Little Love
Whatever you might think about Christmas adverts, and this year as usual they’ve caused quite a stir on social media, the message – in this case #GiveALittleLove (John Lewis/Waitrose) – has been chosen because it will resonate widely with the human soul. Why is this? If we are just physical beings, here by random chance as…
Misinterpreted #6 – Love of Money
By George Rassovsky INTRO Context is extremely important for any literary work. However, when it comes to the Word of God, it is vital! A verse, or a part of one, taken out of context, can have enormous and eternal consequences. Despite this being the case, the fact is that the Bible is perhaps the…
