I love stories of faith. The very first story of faith that got me sit up on my chair was a little story from the book, “The prayer of Jabez”. I was in grade 12 then. My uncle who at that time travelled quite a bit, had picked up this book for me. The book…
The Great Disconnect
I have often been pondering about the things that Heaven values. Here are few things: Taking the back seat when given the front seat; lifting others while humbling themselves; not glorifying one’s own name, but exalting the name of Jesus; singing to the Lord than singing to people; repenting in quietness ; and even singing…
