Senior Pastor & Elder of TLC

(This is a foreword to the December edition church newsletter published every month)

Life is not like a battle, it IS a battle. We have to constantly battle for the promises of God, battle to preach a gospel of grace, battle to keep our minds fixed on things above, battle for our children, battle to believe God for our healing, etc. We have an enemy who has come to rob, kill and destroy but Praise God we have a God who has come to give us life and life in abundance. And the truth is that on the cross Jesus won the victory. And so we can rejoice Hallelujah and know that our hope is not in vain.

With this in mind let us be eager to share our faith with others and impart this hope to many who are perishing. Even as Christmas is nearing and we remember the birth of our Lord Jesus,  let us remind ourselves that today we are alive because the Father gave His one and only Son that all who believe in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.

Even as we belong to a God who is so giving let us be a people who will give. Freely we have received, let’s freely give. It’s a wonderful time to remember the poor and bless them with the love of Jesus. Even as you wait on the Lord he will lead you to share His love with many.

Let’s also take this opportunity to bless our Hindi church brothers and sisters who have never known what it is to celebrate Christmas.

We will be trying to prepare a list so that each one will be able to choose and individual or family whom they can bless. May each one of you have a joyful time with family and friends enjoying the greatest gift of life Jesus as we enter into the Christmas season.
