Jesus was lost in his love for God.
For the person who loves God, worship is the daily bread of patience.
The gravest question any of us face is whether we do or do not love the Lord.
I have given Him my faith, and sworn my allegiance to Him; how, then, can I go back from this, and not be hanged as a traitor?
To pastors and leaders who serve faithfully, who work to teach and shepherd those who are in your church or religious institution: thank you for all you do.

Dear brothers and sisters...The Lord is calling me to "climb the mountain", to devote myself even more to prayer and meditation.

The Christian life is not limited to prayer, but requires an ongoing dedication and courage born of prayer.
Prayer is not an old woman's idle amusement. Properly understood and applied, it is the most potent instrument of action. . . . . . .

The determined fixing of our will upon God, and pressing toward him steadily and without deflection; this is the very center and the art of prayer.
Most worshippers of God are intent on the advancement of their own destiny, not on His worship. In India, no one has ever claimed to be a prophet. The reason is that claims to divinity are customary.
I think people are transient. Back in the early church, there was a 'stick and stay' mentality. In this day and time, people have a fast food mentality of ministry. If it doesn't fit them or if it doesn't fit in their schedule, they'll move on to something else. That's a norm in today's time.
My father wears his faith like the bronze breastplate of God's footsoldiers while our mother's is more like a good cloth coat with a secondhand fit.
Vocations are born in prayer and from prayer; and only in prayer can they persevere and bear fruit.
