"Honor and love one another"

Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another. Romans 12:10

Today's verse mentions the values of a Christ follower. In this world, people often fail to value each other, displaying traits of selfishness, pride, and the tendency to hurt others with their actions and behaviors. The word of God emphasizes the importance of being kind and loving toward one another while also urging us to honor each other above ourselves. The story of Ruth and Naomi in the Bible serves as a perfect reminder of the virtues of selflessness, respect, and love. By abiding in Christ's love, we, too, can honor and love one another with His sacrificial love. In 1 Peter 2:17, Apostle Peter says, "Honor all people. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king."


சகோதர சிநேகத்திலே ஒருவர்மேலொருவர் பட்சமாயிருங்கள்; கனம்பண்ணுகிறதிலே ஒருவருக்கொருவர் முந்திக்கொள்ளுங்கள். ரோமர் 12:10

.

இன்றைய வசனம் கிறிஸ்துவைப் பின்பற்றுபவரின் மதிப்புகளைக் குறிப்பிடுகிறது. இந்த உலகில், மக்கள் பெரும்பாலும் ஒருவரையொருவர் மதிக்கத் தவறிவிடுகிறார்கள், சுயநலம், பெருமை, மற்றும் அவர்களின் செயல்கள் மற்றும் நடத்தைகளால் மற்றவர்களைப் புண்படுத்தும் போக்கு ஆகியவற்றைக் காட்டுகிறார்கள். தேவனின் வார்த்தை ஒருவருக்கொருவர் இரக்கமாகவும் அன்பாகவும் இருப்பதன் முக்கியத்துவத்தை வலியுறுத்துகிறது. பரிசுத்த வேதாகமத்தில் உள்ள ரூத் மற்றும் நகோமியின் சரித்திரம், தன்னலமற்ற தன்மை, மரியாதை மற்றும் அன்பு, நற்பண்புகளின் சரியான நினைவூட்டலாக செயல்படுகிறது. கிறிஸ்துவின் அன்பில் நிலைத்திருப்பதன் மூலம், நாமும் அவருடைய தியாக அன்பினால் ஒருவரையொருவர் மதிக்கவும் நேசிக்கவும் முடியும். 1 பேதுரு 2:17 -ல், அப்போஸ்தலனாகிய பேதுரு, “எல்லாரையும் கனம்பண்ணுங்கள்; சகோதரரிடத்தில் அன்புகூருங்கள்; தேவனுக்குப் பயந்திருங்கள்; ராஜாவைக் கனம்பண்ணுங்கள்.” என்று கூறுகிறார்.

Blog # Y2 012 - "Prepare Your Heart for Worship"

Image
Walk prudently when you go to the house of God; and draw near to hear rather than to give the sacrifice of fools, for they do not know that they do evil. Ecclesiastes 5:1. This scripture is a warning not to approach God's house without humility and careful thought. Proper preparation for worship is more important than the act of worship itself, especially if that worship is done without understanding. The reason why the "sacrifice of fools" is meaningless is that they lack knowledge—they don't want to listen and hear from God. This can happen in our lives as well. How many times do we attend church without preparing our hearts and minds? If we remain ignorant, our worship will not be acceptable to God. What is your attitude towards God when you go to church? We need to search our hearts to see whether we fear God and give Him reverence before entering His presence.  Romans 12:1 says: "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present yo...

"Blog Y2 086 - Calm Words, Peaceful Hearts"

Image
A soft answer turns away wrath, But a harsh word stirs up anger. Proverbs 15:1. King Solomon gives wise advice on handling anger. A gentle answer can calm a tense situation, while harsh words only make things worse. The word "wrath" here refers to intense anger that can lead to conflict. When we’re insulted or upset, it’s easy to respond with more anger, but this only fuels the fire. Instead, responding calmly and kindly can help defuse the situation. A gentle response shows wisdom, self-control, and care for the other person, reducing tension and preventing further conflict. When faced with anger or insult, how can you respond with gentleness and wisdom to show love and defuse the situation instead of fueling conflict? Romans 12:21 says, "Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good." மெதுவான பிரதியுத்தரம் உக்கிரத்தை மாற்றும்; கடுஞ்சொற்களோ கோபத்தை எழுப்பும். நீதிமொழிகள் 15:1. சாலோமோன் ராஜா கோபத்தை எப்படி கையாள்வது என்பதைப் பற்றிய புத்திசாலித்தனமான ஆலோசன...

Blog # Y2 013 - "God Turns Troubles into Blessings"

Image
  Sharon shall be a fold of flocks, And the Valley of Achor a place for herds to lie down, For My people who have sought Me. Isaiah 65:10. Today's verse speaks about God's blessings in store for His chosen people who are saved through Jesus Christ. Let us explore what God says about the two places mentioned in this verse: Sharon and the Valley of Achor. Sharon refers to the plain south of Mount Carmel, situated between the central mountain range and the Mediterranean Sea. It is a fertile agricultural area. The Valley of Achor, located northwest of Jericho on the northern border of the tribe of Judah, is where the Israelites executed Achan and his household. 'Achor' means 'trouble' or 'affliction,' signifying severe trouble. The troubles of the past are reversed and replaced with blessings when we seek Him faithfully, and He even reverses the curses, as Jesus took all our curses upon Himself. Just as Sharon represents a place of fruitfulness and Achor, a ...

"Do not hold on to anger."

Image
Be angry, and do not sin. Meditate within your heart on your bed, and be still. Psalm 4:4. Today’s verse talks about one of the limitations of human nature. At times, we get upset over things we don't like. People speak in ways that trigger anger. The natural tendency is to release the pressure built up within us through anger. However, it doesn't stop there, as we don't get angry in isolation; we get angry at people. Now, there are plenty of chances that our anger turns into sin, as it can damage relationships, inflict wounds and scars on hearts, and even result in violent behavior. This verse tells us that when you get angry, go to your bed, lie down, and meditate in your heart. This act of obedience to the scripture helps reduce our pressure and increases the possibility of not committing sin. Finally, do not hold on to anger, and don't let anger motivate you to sin. In Ephesians 4:26 , Apostle Paul says, "Be angry, and do not sin: do not let the sun go down on ...

Blog # Y2 011 - "Calling on God with Confidence"

Image
As for me, I will call upon God, And the Lord shall save me. Evening and morning and at noon I will pray, and cry aloud, And He shall hear my voice. Psalm 55:16-17. Here, King David speaks of calling upon God's name for salvation. He mentions crying out to the Lord three times a day with a loud voice. Why would David pray this way? It’s because he understands that only God can save him from all his fears, trials, and problems. Similarly, we can call upon the Lord when we are discouraged, afraid, or worried. Jesus bore all our burdens and sins on the cross and saved us. We should also have confidence in the Lord like David, constantly reaching out to Him in prayer and with thanksgiving. He hears our voice and delivers us when we pray continually. When you are afraid, do you cry out to the Lord with confidence in prayer?   Jeremiah 33:3 says: "Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know." நானோ தேவனை நோக்கிக் கூப்பிடுவேன்...

"Crafted by Christ for good works."

Image
  We are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works. Ephesians 2:10. Apostle Paul writes that we are God's masterpiece, made in Christ Jesus, to perform good acts and works that God prepared for us before we were even born. These actions and works can only be carried out through our new life in Christ, guided by the Holy Spirit working in and through us. When we yield ourselves to Christ to change and transform our lives day by day through the Word of God, our old nature will fade, and new characters like Christ Jesus will emerge. This will enable us to fulfill His will and plan to do great things for God. In Ephesians 4:24 , Apostle Paul says, "You put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness." நற்கிரியைகளைச் செய்கிறதற்கு நாம் கிறிஸ்து இயேசுவுக்குள் சிருஷ்டிக்கப்பட்டு, தேவனுடைய செய்கையாயிருக்கிறோம். எபேசியர் 2:10 நாம் பிறப்பதற்கு முன்பே தேவன் நமக்காக ஆயத்தம் பண்ணின நல்ல செயல்களையும்,  வேலைகளையும் செய்ய, கிறிஸ்து இ...

By your patience possess your souls. Luke 21:19 In today's verse, we learn that we take possession of our souls through patience. Many of us, after accepting Christ as our Savior, face more challenges that test our faith and produce patience. Through our tribulations, we develop perseverance, character, and hope. To grow in the Word of God every day, we need to wait patiently in the presence of God to hear His voice. This way, we can build our souls in accordance with the word of God. Let us agree with Paul about eternal life: "Eternal life is for those who, through patient continuance in doing good, seek glory, honor, and immortality." உங்கள் பொறுமையினால் உங்கள் ஆத்துமாக்களைக் காத்துக்கொள்ளுங்கள். லூக்கா 21:19 இன்றைய வசனத்தில், பொறுமையின் மூலம் நம் ஆன்மாவை நாம் நம்முடைய ஆளுகைக்குள் கொண்டு வருகிறோம் என்பதை அறிந்து கொள்கிறோம். நம்மில் பலர், கிறிஸ்துவை நமது இரட்சகராக ஏற்றுக்கொண்ட பிறகு, நம்முடைய விசுவாசத்தைச் சோதித்து, பொறுமையை உருவாக்கும் அதிக சவால்களை எதிர்கொள்கிறோம். நமத...
