There are daily spiritual experiences reported by a so-called prophet. He claims to have tea with God in heaven, sometimes lunch with him…etc. That false prophet is a frequent flier to heaven. Apostle Paul had a great experience of visiting the third heaven. First heaven is atmosphere, second is space, and third is where God […]

One Christian leader asked all Christians not to be involved in evangelism and to stop all mission and outreach work, as persecution has increased.

In the world people chase after blessings, try to grab as much as they can, even snatch from others, and save it for whole life. Yet, emptiness overtakes them. Sadly, Lot thought that earthly prosperity should be preferred rather than spiritual fellowship, spiritual covering, and security of being with Abraham. Sadly, he lost everything, including

One social worker and politician commented that the Christian Faith in India has become flexible because it has accommodated the hierarchy of the caste system in its practice.
