My Message - it is a well said and timely comment , br
s.samuel.God
bless
you .
there are lot of theologians who are not exercising there
intellect by
the
help of holy spirit.many of them have lot of quotations,but
no radical
view or assessment of events or wrong teachings.almost all
of them are
took it as a means of livelihood.for them it is only
a vocation ,not
an
avocation.when such decorated persons face a practical
spiritual issue
they are embarrassed and baffled.
knowledge about war and practical war is totally different.it
will be
unfair to say that most of the humble servants of the
lord,ordinary
pastors are far more powerful in the effective interactoin
in such
situations.they are like anything in a very safe pulpit.but
darting
like
dastards in real situations.they are nonproductive
encumbrance for the
church.may god fill the malayalam church with
apellos.stephanose and
paulose and such bold souls.
the spiritual strong holds should be attacked ,refuted and
uprooted
where
ever possible.may God strengthen br.Tkrishnankutty.
once more thanking for sabu samuelto make such bold comments
on the
mission field.
may holy spirit be with ye brother.

My
Message - I read the article of Sabu Samuel on the Catholic
v/s communist govt. Even though present conflic is not on any
"viswasa pramanam", between lines you can read a
dangerous posture of CPM. Even though so many examples in
front of us, there are communists in pentecost communities,
the leadership also support such to counter the threat from
communalists like RSS and BJP, ,,, One thing everybody should
realise that if you keep the snake in your lap, it will surely
hurt you.

My
Message - Really i am very happy to know about the new plan of
IPC. But I am feeling this is a part of business. I don't know
you are remembering or not, in the same aim some of our
brothers started school in Kerala, you know now they need
thousands of money as a donation for the admission. Now for
the nursing college, can make sure they are giving free
admission for the believers? Some
times i am feeling very dirty politics in churches. Please
think my leaders, the believers are not foolish, you can't
cheat them always, they are understanding all your dirty
politics, but we are forgetting in the name of Jesus.

Unite
or divide further?
Recently
I read in the GM news about the desire of IPC leaders to help
UK based Indian churches. I am responding to that news.
I
am a member of the Indian Pentecostal Church in India. By the
grace of God, and as directed by the Lord, for the past five
years, I have been leading a financially self supporting
Indian Christian Congregation in England, which is for
administrative purpose affiliated to an English congregation.
This English church does not interfere in our freedom of
worship; they only help us with their prayer support,
buildings, resources etc totally free of charge. I found the
English churches in this country to be very supportive to our
work in England. They welcome us wholeheartedly to their
church and are willing to give us every spiritual support.
Though the English church is willing to help us financially,
we have not claimed any money till date, as we, by the Grace
of God are able to support ourselves.
When
English missionaries came to India, they had to learn our
regional languages, translate the Bible and overcome so many
other hurdles to start their work. But the strengths of most
Malayalees in this country are that we are able to speak
English and we are not bad with our scriptural knowledge. When
the English missionaries came to India, their vision was not
to start English speakers’ churches in India, but was to
preach to the Indians, win the Indian souls and plant churches
for the Indians. Otherwise we are better resourced to be
missionaries in England than the English missionaries who came
to India several years ago. But one thing we lack is the
vision to merge with the English believers and tender our help
to their spiritual needs.
Although
many of us remain ‘holy’ by keeping some distance from the
English churches, at least some of us are successful in
presenting our needs to them and accepting financial aid. When
we claim to be spiritually superior and remain ‘separated’
from them, we are becoming ‘spiritual racists’. We
conveniently forget the fact that we have been called to
proclaim the gospel in and to this land. Our spiritual
standard can be easily measured by our success in implementing
Kerala church politics in England and the rate at which we get
ourselves divided.
I
only see with fear and trembling, the desire of the IPC
leaders to get the Malayalam churches in England affiliated to
IPC. I hope that the IPC leaders and IPC supporters will
understand that many believers of other Pentecostals
denominations will not be very comfortable to come under the
banner of IPC. Such believers will be tempted to make their
own little groups. I will rather encourage the Malayalam
churches to remain affiliated to their nearest local English
Pentecostal churches and support them and receive support (not
financial) whenever and wherever necessary. The English
missionaries contributed a lot to the Indians in the past and
it is time for us to do something in return.
It
is not true if we think that Church of God in India and
Assembly of God are not keen on or interested in bringing
churches under their leadership. I personally know that just
like IPC, both these churches are interested in adding more
churches to them. It is true that the English churches are not
giving administrative support to Indian churches. The simple
reason is that we don’t ask them or allow them to do it. It
is not true that the financial and spiritual problems in
Indian churches are not resolved because the English churches
are not taking interest in us. Many of us think that we are
‘spiritually superior’ to them. Also I do not understand
why our churches have financial problems. Most of our pastors
are part time employed and they do not take money from the
church fund. Do you think that if the churches come under IPC,
the financial and spiritual problems will be solved?
Division,
unforgiveness, misunderstanding, gossips, destructive
criticisms, lack of humility or pride, unwillingness to accept
one another, lust for leadership, lust for church money etc.
etc. are the problems many Indian churches in England are
currently facing. Don’t we have enough trouble already? We
are already divided into AICC, MPA etc. etc. etc. Can IPC,
Church of God, Assembly of God or any other established
Pentecostal Indian church organisations solve these problems?
Will IPC unite these groups or divide further?

I
have read about the protest campaign against the religious
persecution and arrests in the capital city of India. I
seriously doubt that this kind of campaign and rally would
only increase the problems in India. All these years we had
a reputation of not reacting negatively to persecution. I
feel that this rally will increase the hatred towards
Christians. Persecution is not something new in
Christianity. What was the attitude and approach of Paul,
Silas, Peter, John, Stephen etc. when they were persecuted?
I think we Christians should rethink about adopting
political strategies to protect us. Please read Ephesians
6:12. Let the Lord give us wisdom.

Dear
Editor,
In
your last Journal about thoughts in Easter, says that Christ
crucified on Friday, According to bible it does have any
evidence. Bible says Christ will be in the heart of earth for
3 days and 3 nights. How it is possible if Christ buried on
Friday evening and he arise before Sunday sunrise. God
word says very clearly Christ will be in the heart of earth
for 3 days & 3 nights. According to me Christ crucified on
Wednesday, buried in same evening and he rose just after the
Saturday sun sets. According to bible first hour of
twenty-four starts at evening and ends at next sun set.

Dear
Brother
My Message - I read the feature " Nuna Paadunnavar".
It was really
wonderful and encouraging to think before singing the song.
One more thing
I wanted to suggest. If you can write something about that, I
hope that
will be very helpful and our Heavenly Father will be pleased.
In English Bible it is written as "He" for God.
When they translate that into Malayalam they wrote as "Avan".
If your son or your younger brother tells about you
"Avan" what you
will feel?? Or you will call your father as "Nee".
Just think about that.
In case if we call our servent ( who is working in our paddy
field), what
will be their reaction? Every time when we r reading Bible or
singing good
songs and praises we r still calling our Heavenly father as
"NEE". Dear
Brother, please write against this.

Dear

Loving
Greetings.
Recently
only I knew about GM news and praise God for such a venture. I
read almost all articles and news and listened the
sermons of Kumbanad
Convention these days.
Bro.
Sabu Samuel's articles are wonderful and thought provoking as
his
articles in Messenger were. I wish he will write such articles
in future.
We need a revival and I hope your net will be a catalytic
agent for the
same. We forgot holiness and true gospel in our messages. We
care more for
quantity and not for quality .Let your Net will bring us back
to the old
good days of Pentecostal revival in Kerala,
May
God bless your ministry
Yours
in His Mission

Sabu Samuel's column is really good. I really appreciate him
to write the article "Origon's puthiya avatharangal'' is
very contemporary. I encourage him to write more articles like
this. His other articles are also good.
