- Keep yourself busy (like listening to devotional songs, etc..)
- Do not sit Idle.
- Do not sit Lonely.
- Go for a quick walk outside whenever you get tempted.
- Always make yourself visible to your neighbors living around you.
- Have the habit of reading Bible daily, no matter Satan accuse of having sinned against God.
- Every resistance over temptation is a victory.
- Keeping coming back to God and confess every time.
- Confess and repent and do not sin anymore.
- Due to the weakness you may fall again in sin and later you would realize for the bad, however do not worry or stay in guilt, rather come to the presence of god with Cry and pardon for mercy.
- Some may struggle for days and months and even years, yet come back to lord and do not give up under any circumstances.
- The accuser will keep accusing you and say you are not worth an iota to go back for pardon of mercy to god. So do not heed to his voice.
- If you keep sinning again and again, then you need a strong fellowship, Bible reading and a Must prayer on mundane basis.
- Dilution in prayer life, Bible reading and fellowship will cause you to sin, fading away from vision and much more.

Tips to overcome Masturbating
Monday, December 28, 2015
Masturbating
Apparently every one conscience pokes them whenever they get
indulge in masturbating. I would accept this fact even if I hadn’t born as a Christian.
One cannot truly say that this never bothers them or troubles them whenever
they are in the act of doing it. For the sake of argument some may say it never
poke them or can say not wrong.
If the Devil cannot make you bad it will keep you busy ( Corrie ten boom) and one act is getting us indulged in self-pleasure which is masturbating and it draws its pleasure virtually either from a stored captivating lustful pictures or scenes, videos etc,,
Around 5000 BC there lived a man called Judah who is one among the 12 tribes came from Jacob. Judah had 3 sons and the elder son was dead and his wife was widowed, so Judah advised his second son Onan to give offspring to his elder brother wife. But Onan knew that the child would not be his; so whenever he slept with his brother’s wife, he spilled his semen on the ground to keep from providing offspring for his brother. What he did was wicked in the Lord’s sight; so the Lord put him to death also. Gen 38: 8,9.
Here the lord punished him for his intention first and then for the act of disobedience. if he wouldn't want to provide a off spring he could have told his father and his brother wife for his disagreement to provide offspring, rather he sought pleasure from his brother wife. Always from Old Testament to New Testament our lord was looking after everyone intention which is our heart. Besides we read in Roman 6: 13- Do not offer any part of yourself to sin as an instrument of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer every part of yourself to him as an instrument of righteousness. Needless to say that the same hand which masturbate are the one used to pray to GOD.
Masturbating is SIN, so stay away and flee from evil desires.

கண்ணு போட்ரும் - upon Evil eyes.
I was in a hospital taking care of my wife who gave birth a
daughter and I was taking photographs and sending my daughter photograph to my
close friends and relatives. My parents and relatives said, do not take
photograph and share it with everyone because it would affect the baby’s
health. In the language tamil they call it as
Kannu-potrum (கண்ணு போட்ரும்).
(கண்ணு போட்ரும்) -It means the evil
eyes will be upon the baby and it would affect the baby’s health, when I asked
my parents and relatives what would it do, in turn they attacked me with the
question do you believe in ghost, I said yes, then they said which means evil eyes
will be upon the baby. Then I questioned back the questioner (parents) why
would you so fearful of evil than the Grace, of course Grace is more and more
powerful than the Evil, so if am a believer Jesus Christ, I no longer live
under the Law but under the Grace.Rom 6:14. And also we read in ephesians we are saved by grace through faith and not by ourselves. It is the gift of god. It really puzzled me - why are we so much afraid
of evil than believing in Grace with reverence.
Grace covers all and for sure my Baby would be protected.
Amen!

Off late Facebook announced that very
sooner they are going to ban the religious promotions, status updates,
encouraging their religions. It was decided by Facebook authorities after their
closed door board meeting. As there was a serious concern raised by atheist and agnostic
society that they are getting offended and their children do not want to get
exposed to and it is working against the free will of Human being.
It is daunting for me to
understand when one particular group claims religious groups are offending their
freewill, then arises a big questions aren’t they doing the same to the people
who has belief on certain religion and violating the free will of theirs. Their
question self-destructs when they claim free will is violated.
So funny and serious pondering act
for one to analyze that one set of minority of the people dominate the other
set of group’s free will is meaningless to their claims and demanding no
emancipation for their belief system. Also it is imperative to understand that
no religion has the rights to force any one to follow their belief, but it is
the free will of every human being to share their belief on a social forum. If
one(atheist) gets offended because of that, wouldn’t be considered the same to
the opposite( who has belief). So it calls for the free will of man to express
their belief and no Enforcement please.
“Actually the debate is getting
moved from what are rights to what are one’s rights”

Relativism or Absolutes
We live in a society where
questions are phrased irrelevant with prejudice thoughts and the answers spring
forth are like the below examples from flabby believers to non believers;
- These are fruits comes the answer, when it is asked to differentiate as “Apples & mangoes”
- When was the world war fought and the answer is “ from page 53 -57”
- What is the chemical formula for water and the answer is h,I,j,k,l,m,n,0 [h to o] and not “H2O”
- Good looks are considered and good thoughts are ignored.
- o Temporary is utmost prioritized and not “permanent”
The list may goes on and it is
imperative to understand that we’ve lost our meaning in life, rational thinking,
values & reasoning, all these gets changed and the harmony of all these
virtue is the same among almost majority of the people. Starting from the
oldest Mesopotamian civilization BC-5000 to AD 2015 there has been a periodical
change in society, people mind set & cultures, all are heavily influenced
by what is seen and observed and by aligning through the rational thinking,
reasoning, culture, truth, religion and knowledge which is collectively termed
as “Relativism”.
If we do not start looking
through rational thinking and reasoning keeping the source as absolutes, albeit
some can be comprehended by what is been observed, felt or touched and sensed, it
would eventually trigger the sources from the consequences of religions &
cultures (relativism).
You can really understand the
purpose and meaning of life, only when you truly come under the shadow of god
else it would stand void to raise a rational question and obtain a meaningful
answer.

Is it wrong to Dance at churches
Recently I’ve witnessed many discussions exchanged around the social forum on “whether or not we can dance in a church” and some say it is wrong to dance in church and some say it is ok to dance in other than churches and some stay skeptically silent.
Some group say it is ok to dance in halls, rooms, retreat center, etc and definitely shouldn’t be in church, I was perplexed to understand, what made them to draw to such understanding, is church considered to be a holy place? But Certainly not. As we are the temple of the god, if anyone defile his temple then god shall destroy the temple. As the heart is deceitful above all things – Jer17:9. Holiness start from the holy spirit, conceives in our hearts through the word of God. so you cannot take the church as a spiritual source for holiness rather it is just a building ease us to gather in his name for praising him, hearing the word of god and to grow up in fellowship.
Where two or three gather together in my name then I shall be there says the – Lord Jesus (Mat 18:20). So wherever we gather the lord is there, whilst isn’t it interesting to consider that our god is an omnipresent god as well and it is imperative to revisit our studies and lay the foundation on Jesus Christ once again and now it is not too late to start, Coz today is the day of salvation.
However we aren't supposed to do anything we want or like to do rather draw the line of resistance from the word of god and to adhere to the church principles drawn from the source ( word of God).

Prov14:12 “There is a way that seems right to a man, and the end is the way of death”.
India is a country blended with multi linguistic people amalgamated with different cultures. In northern parts of India there are so many tribal people (Santali, Sadri, Maithili), who has dance as their traditional cultures, if anyone invited as a guest to their place, they will be welcomed with their traditional dance and garland. Some wash your hands and wipe it off with the small towel. They does this out of love and respect.
So far Christianity is concerned, fundamentally we believe in the Trinity God which is the Father, son and the Holy spirit but the modes of worshipping pattern differs from each church denomination without deviating from the new testament commandments. Albeit few Christian community changed the fundamental doctrines as well which is not relevant to discuss here. However here are something’s to ponder upon;
· We ask questions not knowing why we are asking
· We follow Jesus not knowing why we are asked to follow
· We raise concerns not knowing is it a concern to us or elsewhere
· We look for prejudice answers
We actually come to an understanding by reading the excerpts from the bible and build a theology around it which is wrong, we need to develop the habit of understanding by reading the whole context like why it was said, when it was said, to whom it was said & at what situation and all these things are necessarily needs to be focused on.
Dancing is not wrong, but our intention determines on the basis of why do we do? And our modesty dress codes determines on the basis of who are we? and regarding the dress codes you may visit the topic dress codes in my Blog.

One of the Excerpts pleasing god
We are called to walk
in the narrow way with broad minded but we love to choose to walk in wide way
because of our narrow mindedness.
If we read god’s word and pay
serious attention to Mathew 7:13, then the lord will help us to unfold the
mystery of it. He starts the statement with “Strive to enter through the narrow
way” which innately make us to posit that it is very hard, because our carnal
minds always speaks contrary to the spirit ,as the spirit is opposite to flesh.
We should think broad and walk in a narrow way. Our god is not a god of one
particular nation alone, he is a god of this universe and elsewhere.
We live in a country where people
pay much attention to trivial things and less care to important matters. “They like good looks and not good thoughts”
and love to have a “temporary solution than a permanent solution” and so on. It is
undeniably accepted that the people characters are shaped through their
traditions and religions which acts as the foundation for their innate
response, thinking, working, lifestyle etc… no wonder if a person in India
claims he is an atheist then it is really going to be a challenging life style
for him. Under any circumstances he may have to fell prey to follow their
ancestor’s traditions, cultures through the influence of their parents,
relatives, spouse and sometimes friends & neighbors too. For example if a
person in a family dies, he may have to undergo the rituals before burying or
cremate them. I have never heard about a person who has not followed or
undergone any of the rituals or some sort of sentimental activities before they
bury or cremate it.
We follow customs and principles
according to each family and society convenience levels. Present day
Christendom is likely to be a self-centered life and not Christ centered. We
are much comfortable to follow on our own ways, what our mind says, what our
eyes sees, what our hand intend to do and etc. We strive to achieve whatever it
pleases to our eyes, gets attracted to the worldly concepts, yet we would put a
name plate as Christians and judge ourselves that we are good in his sight. We
are no difference than other religion people, we practice and follow whatever
they also do. Only when we make a difference in virtue it would make others to
puzzle and question you for the difference you are making which would
eventually open up a way for gospel along with the prayer full life.
When the gentile see us they find
no difference in us, starting from lying to Railway TTR about the age of our
children to get rid of the full ticket, when a shop keeper gives an extra
balance unknowingly we fail to return to him, going in a one-way route and in so
many things we lie, leaving it as trivial. Albeit we are claimed to be saved
Christians we fail to repent from our old habits and holding on to the cultural
practices which is meaning less and unhoped life of other religious customs,
which indirectly has a coincidence from other religion. We always don’t ask
question to ourselves why it is necessary to follow certain traditional &
cultural habits.
I have personally witnessed in my life when I
refute to celebrate the urge of my relatives and parents asked to celebrate the
3rd trimester of my wife pregnancy which is the 7th month
(in tamil we call it as seemantham or valakaapu which basically draws its
origin from Hinduism based on the goddess sri Mahalakshmi. ie; when a woman delivers a child, she is considered
the embodiment of the Goddess Lakshmi herself). Am unsure how many of would
know the detailed history of this celebration. we are drawing the origin from
them and changing the pattern according to our convenience but failing to
understand whether it is pleasing to god. Mark7: 8
says we lay aside the commandment of god and holding on to the traditions of
men.
For I do not want you to be
ignorant of the fact, brothers and sisters, that our ancestors were all under
the cloud and that they all passed through the sea. They were all baptized into
Moses in the cloud and in the sea. They all ate the same spiritual food and
drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank from the spiritual rock that
accompanied them, and that rock was Christ. Nevertheless, God was not pleased
with most of them; their bodies were scattered in the wilderness – I Corinth
10:1-5. If this verse can be interpreted
to our present day scenario it goes like this;
We all go to church on every Sundays, take part of the communion,
conduct prayer meetings, greeting everyone on the first visit as “praise the
lord” , speak soothingly, yet we will not look pleasing to god if our life
didn’t manifest his character. As the bible says in acts1:8 when the Holy
Spirit come unto you, you shall be witness to all. If no witnessing in practical life then it is not a pleasing life to
god.
We are shaped by our church
teaching but we fail to look into the word of god and test the teaching of the
church though it is obvious that all church teachings are drawn from the word
of god, yet it is very imperative for every believer to test the teaching and
holding on to it, as in last days there will be deceptive teachings, people
will hear to endless stories, false genealogies and so on - says paul to
Timothy.
In the gospel we see the only
begotten son came as a human being(not as a god) and showed as a life of narrow
way, he came, he saw, he lived, he died, and he conquered the death through his
teaching and living. Jesus lived among the jews and yet he didn’t follow the
traditions of the jews which aren’t pleasing to god. It is inevitable to forsake all the traditional cultures and ethos in
this society but it is very imperative to understand which are the one to leave
and can hold on to it.
All we needed to do is live a
life worthy and pleasing to god fully in all aspects and there shouldn’t be a
pinch of fleshy stain in it. Think Broader and walk in a narrow way.

Festival of Lights
Have we ever laid a thought on
the hidden celebration that we do in the society in harmony with other religious
people, failing to understand the hidden impact which would begin to manifest
visibly in later period of time leading to a longer problems. Eventually this
little choice we make, would alter the community of Christian ethos. We always
forget to pay attention to the trivial things that the Christian should avoid. Albeit
we were once sojourners alienated from a Hinduism culture to a Judea-Christian
world view, some virtues by nature aren’t transformed to the expectation of the
Christian life which are ought to. Starting from Birth to death we are made ought
or by virtue to follow the traditions accustomed in society. But we fail to forsake
from the customs which are drawn from Hinduism leading to evil end. But we were
mingled among the heathen, and learned their works –Psalmist, Hosea says
Ephraim, he hath mixed himself among the people.
Paul writes to Corinthians that be
you not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship has
righteousness with unrighteousness? And what partnership has light with
darkness? Isn’t it very important for the Christians to follow the teachings of
Bible and to abandon the customs of other traditions? Having said that there are certain inevitable traditions which perhaps needs to be
followed as it might not lead to an evil end. On the contrary our deeds should leave the
unbeliever with a question which would eventually make them to think or ponder
upon to seek for the truth. Which is why our bible says “Let your light shine
before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in
heaven”.
You may also ask, then we need to
go out of the country as Christians are claimed to be the minority community in
this country as most of the traditions are being drawn from non-Christian views,
but indeed it is a very must to ponder on I Corinthians 5th chapter
for a complete context answers though it is written based on sexual immoral
subject, it is worth to be equally interpreted as like this;
“Christians may have to go out of the country as most of the customs
are followed here are based out of Hinduism which is inevitable, yet it is a
must for Christians to carefully pay attention to the traditions and forsake
them which are leading to evil end, false genealogies and endless stories which
would ideally empower you to godly edification”. but do not forget to love the other religion people and show them the genuine love whilst we forske their culture - "Love your neighbour as yourself - Jesus"
I urge our fellow brothers/sisters to stay cautious
and shrewd while greeting their festival seasons rather ask god for wisdom to slip
away from the situations to be greeted. If we are concerned/loving about our
people who live in darkness unbeknownst, then every time you wish them you are
indirectly renouncing the Christian faith and encouraging them to follow the
darkness.

Need of this Hour
Redeeming the time, because the days are evil – Eph 5:16.
The Fascinating thing for all
the aforementioned things to come to pass is only in the hands of Christians
because you and I know that without God it is impossible to get clean country.
One must ask how the other countries could outweigh India and stands a clean
environment is because those countries are shaped by the foundation of the
Bible. The western culture were shaped from the foundation of the bible and the
first civilization to be the Mesopotamian. The arts, science, medicine, law,
engineering, social, culture, technology, entertainments, hero’s, all sprang
forth through the fundamental concepts of the Bible says Vishal mangalwadi the
famous intellectual Christian writers also considered to be good reformer in
late 80’s. I would certainly agree with
vishals concept. Being a Christian you could comprehend that the basic criteria
to have a clean free country is to first start with our integrity , if we are
true to the least things then it is the starting point to scale heights and be
a successor. How could one be an honest person, you cannot be true to yourself
unless you accept jesus Christ as your savior and commit your life for him. Luke 16: 10-12 says. He who is faithful in
what is least is faithful also in much; and he who is unjust in what is least
is unjust also in much. Therefore if you have not been faithful in the
unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches? And if you have not been faithful in what is
another man’s, who will give you what is your own?
When we look around our society there are many lawless
things which are moving on and there are some who are concerned and some not. Every
citizen of our country wants a clean environment, peace, less poverty, corruption
free & honest rulers who could lead the country to development but the
irony is no one wants to be a self-reformer which is callously forgotten. Corruption
and poverty plays a phenomenal role in the growth of the country which ease the
other aspects to grow innately.
What causes poverty? Does corruption causes poverty or
poverty causes corruption? Peter Eigen the chairman of the Transparency Index
council said in 2002 that the country was lead to poverty because of corruptive
politicians. Here is the 2014 corruption free country list which is ranked on
the scale of 0(highly corrupt) -100(very clean). Our country is placed in 85th
position
To make clean free, corruption free world, you need to know
the truth which is the fundamental aspects. You cannot build a house on the
sand, it needs a solid rock or rough soil.
Yes it is the need of the hour for the Christians to stay
honest and a reformer by committing your life to him and spend time on knees to
bring a reform in nation. We cannot expect a 100% integrity from a person who
do not know Christ which is inevitable. Especially
I call/urge the youth to bring a reform in nation. Come and uphold the nation
in prayer. Amen.
John 8:32 “And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall
make you free.”

Teen’s Battle
There are days where less opportunities were there to practice or to commit SIN in this world. But present world condition is, there are several ways to SIN as technology grows by and it is in your hands now. Upon pondering I could comprehend through the guidance of Holy Spirit that all are getting tempted first and then ending up in sinning and eventually it leads to death. The word temptation is a fundamental desire to engage in short-term urges for enjoyment, that threatens long-term goals.
The primary focus of Satan is to target the Christians and to sow the temptation constantly and the special focus is targeted towards the Teens. We are constantly kept occupied on Social forums like, whatsapp, facebook, Twitter, hangouts, unhealthy sites & youtube etc…. Although it cannot claimed to be wrong in using technologies, but one should know it would turn out worse if not handled properly. Starting from Adolescent to centenarians, temptation continuous in human life period. Some young teen asked to an African missionary (unable to recall his name) when would I be able to get rid of ceasing from temptation and he was answered like this, dear son as long as you live in this flesh it will chase you. The Flesh is always against the spirit and the spirit against the flesh, both are contrary to each other. Bible says, overcome the evil by good. SIN is creeping at your door steps, and its desire is for you but you must master it. Gen 4-6; also the lord Jesus said in New Testament, you will have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world. John 16-33”.
You cannot stop temptation as it is there from inception of Adam to Jesus Christ temptation in the wilderness after fasting for 40days & 40 nights, it is like you cannot tell this world or say the crows/birds to stop flying over the head but you can certainly prevent them from making a nest on your head.
Satan is very clever and he wants the root to be spoiled which is the youth of this generation knowing youth has the power to change the world, but we failed to understand our roles in this society. Do you know every individual action shapes our culture in society, we always tend to look for a role model who could be our guidance all the time, so that we could run without getting stagnant? Take this illustration, if you drop a piece of paper on the road side or any rubbish items then the people who may go by that way would be influenced to litter and it followed person after person. Eventually it would end up as a big chunk of garbage. If we could be more honest and disciplined in smaller things it would shape us and create a big impact to the society. It is applicable to both secular and spiritual world though we cannot distinguish secular and spiritual world, as the former comes from the latter because of disobedience. So always looks at the author and finisher of the faith which is the Christ Jesus and set him as a Role model.
If I take an individual responsibility in this world I could change the world upside down overcoming all the battle. So I urge the young minds to get enrolled in youth movement of your church, get occupied/involved in church activities and be a changer to avoid carried away with unhealthy activities of this society or by any other means and do meditate upon the word of God every day.
Temptation will knock your door constantly, but every resistance over temptation is the victory for you. You cannot become holy by confessing your sin once and it takes a long route after that by resisting over the temptation until death where temptation come in several ways.
Temptation is not a SIN but yielding to temptation is SIN. Hence “Work out your salvation with fear and trembling; Phil2:12”.

Who is a threat to society?
But the so called Christians
are daunting to understand that, all are called to obey his commandment, the
first missionary Hudson Taylor who went to china made this statement
“Proclaiming the gospel is not an option but a commandment to obey”.
We often fail to live a life
which speaks more than the lips do, Christians are the ones who are supposed to
protect the integrity, faithfulness, forgiveness, self –discipline, obedience,
human rights, morality. Do not be like a morning mist disappearing in short
time, rather allow the holy spirit to move in your lives through obedience all
the time. Hosea 13:3 –They will be like
the morning mist, like the early dew that disappears, like chaff swirling from
a threshing floor like smoke escaping through a window. Since we are so
engrossed to the world we find it difficult to make us a role model to others
as Jesus did.
The recent death of our
honorable former president APJ Abdul Kalam brought a significance impact to the
society, infact to some other countries too, when a non-Christian can bring
such a tremendous influence to society why not a Christian. So the future world
is in the hands of the Christian who would need to excel in their career
whatever you’ve been blessed with and to proclaim the love of Jesus Christ
through our deeds. However the Sad part is whether he would get to heaven and
nobody had ever pondered upon on the destiny of him. Imagine if the president
Kalam would have been a Christian then definitely it would have been made much
more impact and changes in lives of individual soul. Though secular world
respect and honor him it wouldn’t change human virtues and that can only be
done by our Lord Jesus for which you and I are needed in this hour.
So it is time for the youth
to stay focus on your career growth in this secular world as the world observes
the deeds and the education behind it, so that you could be an influencer in
this society, try to scale more heights through your studies, jobs, or whatever
you are tasked to drive in. let the people who see you, see Jesus. Many would
say pray well, of course we need to pray which is very much need of this hour
by men of kneeling every day and not by men of standing. However the prayer
should be accompanied through your deeds. Making
the most of every opportunity because the days are evil – Eph 5:16. The
present world is looking for leaders who can set as a role model or an
exemplary human being as a motivating factor to drive this nations through the
secular world.
Here are few quotes from
Jesus “let your light shine before men” and the city which is on Mountain
cannot be hidden. Therefore Go and make disciples of all nation.
Let’s forgive more and
extend our love more to strangers and fellow brothers/sisters in this world.
Gentiles should ponder upon your life style and question you the reason for the
hope and joy you have. Always be
prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the
hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect. I pet 3:15
But if we fail to live then
we are the dangers to society.
