IPC Bethany, mathikere. English worship

This is regarding my church and the new steps that we have taken to work for the Kingdom of God Allmighty. As an humble but determined approach to work for the expansion of kingdom of God, few members of our church's english service group met on 31st may 09 and came up with an idea of creating an online room to come and share all our views, reviews, ideas, prayer requests and many more 24/7. So we have come up with a group created exclusively for Bethany English Worship, which will act as a common platform for all of us to come and interact with each other through out the week and not miss any opportunity that we get to work for the God's kingdom.... We would like to reach out the whole of bangalore and spread the message of gospel and show them the love of Jesus Christ.

The link below gives you the access to the group and also gives access to become a member of the team.

All your prayer requests and suggestions will be taken and acted on responsibily.

A come back

After a long gap of about three years, I've decided to come back and do something that I used to enjoy doing (Blogging). My past three years were really very hectic because of which I couldn't spend time with my blog, but as someone once said 'When the going gets tough the tough gets going' and the tough times of the years that went by has taught me a lot of valuable lessons and it was just the Grace of God that sustained me till now, Praise God!!

"My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness" (2 Corinthians 12:9)

So I hope this come back to be a great one and connect with all my friends, share our ideas, thoughts, view, reviews..... Lets make it a better place :)

Above.all

This is one of my all time favorites.. Simply love this song

The Secular Music

Some modern music does, beyond question, include lyrics that are blatantly and openly anti-religious. Some lyrics also exalt or urge immoral behavior, while still others are tied closely to drug experiences or speak in a distorted way about death. When this is the case, the choice you have is not simply one of musical taste or just to enjoy the music. You see, although you say you 'don't pay attention to the words,' it is virtually impossible for them not to take root in your mind. When you repeatedly hear certain ideas and themes in music, they almost inevitably become a part of you and you begin to think they are true or not so bad.
The Bible constantly urges us to fill our minds with good and true things because our thoughts will shape our behavior. We therefore need to control what goes into our minds.
Ref:'We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ' (2 Corinthians 10:4-5).
