The Bible says; “Anyone who comes to God must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him” (Heb.11:6). Some of us

Kick the Alcoholics Out of Your Life

In 30 years of pastoral ministry, I have always felt compassion for those addicted in various maladies of life and substances.  Be it narcotics, alcohol or some behavioral maladies, I always felt sorry for the person trapped inside.  But lately, I came in close relationships with several families that are going through such horrible pain

Time Heals!

Age old saying, “time heals”, is beautifully portrayed when Jacob met with Esau after 20 years (Gen.33).  Twice recorded but many more times for sure, Jacob had cheated his elder brother Esau over the course of their childhood and youth.  Tough in physiques, Esau was not so clever.  But Jacob was just the opposite; cunning

चाहे दाखको बोटमा फल नफलोस्!

नेपाल देशलाई हेर्दा एसीयाका गरीब राष्ट्रहरू मध्य दोस्रो स्थानमा आउँदो रहेछ[1];  “ब्रेन ड्रेन” जस्ता रोगको कारण भुसतिघ्रेहरूको अड्डा भएछ।  राजनीतिलाई हे्र्दा जनता लुट्ने भ्रष्टाचारी नेताहरूको पेवा बनेछ।  जनतालाई हेर्दा तिनै भ्रष्ट नेताले एक बोरा चामल दिदा मख्ख हुँदै उनैलाई पटक पटक भोट दिएर जिताउने साधन भएछन्।  कर्मचारी तन्त्रलाई हेर्दा पिउन देखि हाकिम सम्म घुसखोरीको आँकडा
