A Christian when opts to beg emotionally to others, disappoints the Almighty God in at least 3 ways:1. By Denying the Power of God to Provide for their lives (2 Timothy 3:5, Titus 1:16)2. By still being Immature to handle Life's crisis (1 Corinthians 13:11, James 1:2-4)3. By setting a poor example of Faith and Trust on God (Psalm 78:40-42, Psalms 34:8,9)The difference between Emotional pleading and asking a Fellow Christian to Pray is that Former belittles our God who Provides (Jehovah Fire) while the Latter Glorifies our God Who is Enough (El Saddam).- Santosh Shanahan

A genuine Christian with a heart empty of all wickedness and filled with Christ's Love should be able to achieve any spiritual goals for the Glory of God.

A man becomes unrighteous just because of his unholy thoughts but graduates to become a wicked by bringing his unholy thoughts into practice.

And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by Prayer and Fasting." -Mark 9:29 It seems like many times we miss the whole essence of Fasting and Prayer, perhaps because we have started becoming comfortable with "This Kind".

A sermon preached but yet not practiced will fail to touch the hearts of its listeners and will never bring glory to God rather it will become a loathsome sacrifice that will stink on broken altars. One can be theologically astute but still very immature. One can possibly be biblically literate but still in very much need of wisdom to apply the truth in one's own life.

Believers if opt to practice Favoritism will fail miserably to build a relationship of Mutual Trust & True Respect for themselves.

Christianity still makes sense because it was Christ who:- Never Judged a person by his/her appearance [Mark 10:46-51]- Never Looked down with disdain on someone just because that person does not come to His church [John 4:1-26]- Never kept back his miracle of Healing, just because the person does not belonged to His own community [Matthew 15:25-28]- Shared His Love and Grace with both poor [Luke 14:13] and rich equally [Mark 10:21]- Chose to Forgive even those whom 'His chosen ones' looks down with contempt. [Luke 7:36-50]- Proclaim the Truth about Gospel to a lost soul even if there USNO one to acknowledge Him publicly [John 3:1-3]- Preferred to keep quiet even if He was 'wrongly accused'. [Matthew 27:12]- Who ranks the Giver on the basis if his/her Intent of giving and not just Extent of giving [Luke 21:1-4]- Chose to empty His pockets and desist resources available to Him, so that He can teach to Serve First [John 13:14] and lead later.- Eagerly listened to the one who came asking for help and delivered them from their issues rather than opening His book of sorrows and issues to make them feel awkward and ignored. [Mark 7:31-37]...It's a shame that it is we Christians, who at times Disappoint our Christ and Dishonor His name by acting just opposite to His nature and character in our lives." World is not disappointed by Christianity, It's tired of, us Christians.

Dilemma of a Modern Christian:We know enough Word to make us Argumentative but not enough to help ourselves change. We have enough Knowledge to make us Religious but not enough to make us Godly. We have enough Reasons for being critical about others but never enough to be Compassionate. We have enough Wisdom to say that we are Right but never enough to Say "God I'm Sorry". We have enough Friends who leads us astray but never enough who builds us Spiritually. We have enough Talents to score point over others but never enough to Serve one another. We have enough Achievements to fill ourselves with Self-Glory but not enough to make us Holy. We have enough Time to attend all our Needs but never enough to Seek God in Worship.... God, please help us to have enough but plenteous enough to 'Please You' in all the ways of our Life.- Santosh Shanahan

Every 'Born again' Christian is already called to be a Minister of God (By Commission, Matthew 28:19) and a Royal Priest (By Calling, 1 Peter 2:9). The only thing left now for us Christians to achieve in this small life is, To become A Compassionate individual (1 Peter 3:8), An Effective Disciple (John 8:31,32) and A Better Christian (Philippians 1:9-11).
