When tragedies happen, the biggest cry of human heart is, where is God in all of this or why didn’t an omnipotent God stop the tragedy? Even as a believer in the goodness of God, I am not immune to these questions. Last night while looking at the news on California fires, my heart had […]

Who, What, Why?
Being a woman of Indian origin, I have had many people ask me or imply to me of why I worship a Western god. I have heard some of my Indian friends say that Jesus is a Western god and Indians should worship Indian gods. Having immigrated to a Western country, it sometimes seems to […]
Faith and Truth
I have been pondering about several things and this morning, while having a conversation with God, two words stuck out to me – FAITH and TRUTH. I have observed that often, we tend to treat these two things as mutually exclusive. When it comes to faith, we often think we have to blindly believe whatever […]
Temple Priests and Rituals
I am currently reading the book of Leviticus in the Bible. It isn’t an easy book to read because this book talks all about the duties of the temple priests and rituals. In the Bible, this is the third book of the Old Testament,and it’s the book of the laws and rituals for atonement, purification, […]
It is Finished!
Today is Ash Wednesday, and it marks the beginning of Lent. This morning, I was reading through the Bible and accidentally (was it?) came across the passage in Leviticus. All the rest of the bull—he shall carry outside the camp to a clean place, to the ash heap, and shall burn it up on a […]

The Gift of Lent
Lent is a season of reflecting on the cross and remembering the resurrection. Millions of followers of Jesus around the world consider this an important season that climaxes with Good Friday and Easter. It’s been almost 2000 years since the original events of Christ’s death and resurrection, and somehow, the cross is still relevant today. […]
When I am Wrong
I love when God comforts and encourages me. It’s a great feeling to know that God is on my side. However, there have been times when God wasn’t supportive of my choices and decisions. I’ve had situations in my life where I have been wrong, very wrong. Wrong words, wrong choices, and attitudes, unhealthy habits. […]
Pursue Peace
If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. Romans 12:18 We live in a world divided over everything. The endless social media wars fueled by polarized media has led to more and more division. Yesterday I was reading a comments section for a social media post asking […]
