The expatriate answered, "I'm doing all these sacrifices for my family." But ironically, instead of building our family, statistics show us the other stories of broken marriages, fatherless children and ruined lives.If we will just be sensitive to what these circumstances are telling us, we will realize that it is impossible to make a successful and happy family without God as the foundation of the house. In the year 1787, one statesman stands in the US constitutional convention. Here is the part excerpt from his speech."I have lived for a long time [81 years]; and the longer I live the more convincing proofs I see of this truth, that God governs in the affairs of man. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without his notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without his aid? We have been assured, sir, in the sacred writings, that "Except the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain that build it." I firmly believe this; and I also believe that without his concurring aid we shall proceed in this political building no better than the builders of Babel: we shall be divided by our little, partial, local interests; our prospects will be confounded; and we ourselves shall become a reproach and a by-word down to future ages. And what is worse, mankind may hereafter, from this unfortunate instance, despair of establishing government by human wisdom, and leave it to chance, war, or conquest. I therefore beg leave to move that henceforth prayers, imploring the assistance of Heaven and its blessings on our deliberations, be held in this assembly every morning before we proceed to business;' and that one or more of the clergy of this city be requested to officiate in that service". - The man is Benjamin Franklin who gave his Speech in Convention for forming a Constitution for the United States, 1787.If the great men of history acknowledge 2 N¿®v thmbnkv ˛ sk]v‰w_¿ 2014 that the great God is the foundation of even the great country, when will we realize that God is also the foundation of the strong family? I. THE FOUND ATIO N OF A STRO NG CHRISTIAN FFAMIL AMIL Y FOUNDA TION STRONG AMILY We must look on God as the builder, the keeper and the ultimate provider. uilder of our famil 1. God is the bbuilder familyy Psa 127:1 EXCEPT THE Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who build it;… As a parent, it is our responsibility to train our children and prepare them for their future. We want them to be strong and we build them according to the knowledge that we acquired in our experiences in life. Those human strategy and disciplines are not bad. However we have to realize that God is the real owner of our children. He is the real builder of our family. We must acknowledge Him as the real head of our family and we must build our family according to His Word. All our efforts will be a failure in the end unless we recognize God as the real head in our family. otector of our famil 2. God is the pr protector familyy Psa 127:1… except the Lord keeps the city, the watchman wakes but in vain. In the time of advanced technology and information, the access of our children to bad influences and polluting information is almost impossible to avoid. All of us specially our children are vulnerable to the attack of bad influence and protection of our family is on the alarming status.This is the right time to admit our own limitation and ask the help from the real protector of our family no other than God. We cannot watch and protect our family 24/7. Only the omnipresent and all powerful God is able to do this impossible job of protecting our family. ovider of our famil 3. God is the pr pro familyy Psa 127:2 It is vain for you to rise up early, to take rest late, to eat the bread of [anxious] toil--for He gives [blessings] to His beloved in sleep. The effectiveness of labors and cares is dependent on the operation and providence of God; and all human strength care, and industry is in itself vain. God provide us blessing to give us reasons to thank Him. N¿®v thmbnkv ˛ sk]v‰w_¿ 2014 3 If God is the foundation of a strong family, then we should build our family on Jesus. Jesus is the Rock, the Strong Foundation of our family. II. THE COMPENSA TIO N OF A SUCCESFUL CHRISTIAN FFAMIL AMIL Y COMPENSATIO TION AMILY Children: If we can just train them in the ways of the Lord, they can be a reward, a weapon and a blessing not only to their parent but to the whole community. d .

As the bow of an arrow is being pulled and bent by the archer and aim it to the right direction, so our children should be bended, shaped to reach the right direction according to the will of God. As we aim the arrow to the right direction and release them, children will reach their proper goal if we prepare them and point them to Jesus. If we release them without proper bending and aiming, they will not reach the right direction. hildr en taught bbyy God's teac hin gs ar g 3.

They will not be put to shame when they speak with their adversaries [in gatherings] at the [city's] gate. The first command of God is for man to be fruitful and multiply. The Lord gave the divine ordinance that every living creature should produce their own kind. As Christian, we should produce the same faith, values and character through our children. Children can be a blessing to us and to the community if we can only train them according to God's word. 1.

It was on that auspicious day that four great traditions that is the Presbyterians, Methodists, Anglicans and Congregationalists came together. This historic union was named as the Church of South India. Ours is a united and uniting Church striving towards greater peace, closer fellowship and fuller life. Now, as we celebrate the 68th day of the formation of CSI during this month, let us ponder and have a relook into the challenges that we face in terms of unity, solidarity and liberation in the present day context. In the logo of the CSI we have the Cross, Lotus and Fire. The Cross demands that the barriers, divisions, discrimination and discrepancies must be broken and the service should be penetrated to the least lost and last. The cross summons the Church to be liberative, transformative and restorative in the ministries and services to the people who are unrecognized and marginalised. The lotus challenges us to be holy above everything without blemish in spite of being placed in the midst of a sinful world. The flames of fire signify the power of the Holy Spirit indwelling and inspiring every believer. The motto of CSI is significantly: "That they all may be One". May God usher in us a new direction to capture this vision in our lives. The meeting of the Diocesan Council of our Diocese was conducted on the 14th and 15th of August beginning with a communion service in our Church. Diocesan Council members from our church actively participated in the sessions. The first lady Bishop in the CSI - Rt. Rev. Pushpalalitha, Bishop of Nandyal Diocese, Rt. Rev. Timothy Ravinder, Bishop of Coimbatore, Advocate Robert Bruce, the Hon. Treasurer, CSI Synod & CSI TA were the distinguished dignitaries at the event. The proposals for amendments to the Constitution was one of the hall marks of the council meetings. The Youth Convention 2014 was well conducted and was instrumental in the rededication of many a youth of the Church. Flag Hoisting was hosted in our Church Campus by the members of 6 N¿®v thmbnkv ˛ sk]v‰w_¿ 2014 CEYF on Independence Day under the leadership of all our Presbyters. The reminiscences of a military ceremony was aroused in participants by the involvement of Rtd. Wing Commander John Albert Sylam. Our Sunday School children bagged many trophies and medals in the Area level Competitions conducted under the Diocese. Retreats of both YFF & SCF were conducted during the month. The Gospel Band of our Church is gearing up for the conduct of the Annual Convention from 26th to 28th September, 2014 with Bro. Babu Pullad as the speaker. Let us prayerfully look forward to a time of revival and renewal. Do remember to take part in the Retreat arranged on Saturday, 27th September. Obituar Obituaryy Sri.

Dinakarlal Jesus is indeed the greatest teacher the world has seen. The impact of his teaching was so great that even history of the world is divided into B.C and A.D. As one reads the Gospel, one understands that Jesus was called or referred to as a teacher several times. Those who listened to the teachings of Jesus were amazed at the message and method: "And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine: For he taught them as [one] having authority, and not as the scribes". (Matthew 7: 28 & 29). He could draw great crowds and keep them spellbound as his teachings were packed with information, supported by his scholarship, made interesting with illustrations and was powerful because of the intellectual, ethical and emotional appeals. The role of Jesus as teacher is different from the role of a teacher in a modern organized school or university. But the modern teachers have a lot to learn from Jesus and no doubt can take him as a role model for their profession. Why is Jesus considered an ideal teacher? To find an answer we should answer several questions: What did Jesus teach? Whom did Jesus teach? How did he teach? How and what did people learn from him? The Son of God had a mission through teaching and he did not become a teacher by accident or for convenience. It was a divine call and he was aware of it. He was carrying out this great mission and hence there was a purpose behind his teaching. He took the role of a teacher to bring about a total transformation to the life of individuals he came into contact with and the world at large. If the teachers of the present day believe that Jesus can be taken as a model teacher, they have to ask very pertinent questions: How did Jesus bring about total change- a qualitative change in the lives of people who listened to him? What were the transformations brought about by Jesus Christ? Who were the people whose lives were changed? What methods did Jesus use to change lives? There was a perfect harmony between the message and methodology of his teaching and together they perfectly synchronized with the life he led. Jesus was sure of his message and he knew for certain the message people needed: "Now after John was arrested, Jesus came to Galilee, proclaiming the good news of God, and saying, 'The time is N¿®v thmbnkv ˛ sk]v‰w_¿ 2014 17 fulfilled, and the kingdom of God has come near; repent, and believe in the good news'" (Mark 1:14-15). This is the core of the message of Jesus and he had conviction in what he taught and eventually that message touched the hearts of people. Jesus, considered son of a poor carpenter, had charisma as a teacher and this is evident from how he could convince Simon Peter, Andrew, James and John (Matthew 4: 18-22). As we read the Beatitudes in Matthew Chapter 5 we understand the greatness of Jesus as he was giving a message needed by people. Matthew chapters 5-7 that carry the Sermon on the Mount testify to the fact that Jesus is a teacher par excellence. He could gather big crowds that thronged to listen to him and followed him. Jesus taught at a time when people did not think of a methodology of teaching and when sophisticated teaching aids were not available. A close look at his teaching methodology would reveal that he always used a method that suited the message, context and the taught or the target group. This brought clarity to the message and also challenged the listeners. He knew how to draw and sustain the interest of the 'taught'. He used simple language and examples the common man understood, for the crowd comprised mostly unlettered. To uphold their interest he intertwined stories and examples that reinforced his message. He used examples from the everyday life of people or what people knew. The lost sheep, mustard seed, fowls of the air or salt. He kindled the critical thinking of his listeners. No doubt, his energy level was high and his body language apt and pleasing to keep the attention of the people unaltered. One has to understand that his voice modulation was so powerful and effective that his pauses and silence conveyed more than his vociferous utterances. When teachers read John 8:3 & 4 they should ask why Jesus kept quiet and wrote on the sand without entering arguments when the teachers of law and the Pharisees brought in the woman caught in adultery : "Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery". Again it is through this silence that has depth and meaning Jesus encountered Pilate. As we read Mark 15:4 & 5 we see Pilate asking him "Aren't you going to answer? See how many things they are accusing you of." Jesus still made no reply, and Pilate was perplexed and amazed. The ability of Jesus in one-to-one teaching is matchless. This is evident from his conversation with the Samaritan woman at Jacob's well ( John 4:1-42). He was iconoclastic in that he encountered the Samaritan woman who had come to draw water from a well that was not meant for the Jews. Christ broke two cultural barriers - that of gender and caste, went to the non Jewish woman, and slowly and gently led her to a conversation to tell her about the water that would quench 18 N¿®v thmbnkv ˛ sk]v‰w_¿ 2014 a person's thirst eternally. All the man made barriers of caste and gender crumbled down before the commitment of Jesus as a teacher. Added to the message and methodology, what drew people to him was his life. The life that he led complemented his message and proved the genuineness of the teacher. Jesus always displayed wisdom. The wisdom boy Jesus exhibited at the Temple made everyone wonder and helped in accepting what Jesus said later (Luke 2:40-42). There was no disparity between what he taught and what he practised. He displayed his abundant love when he went to the leper, stretched his hands and healed, thereby proving that his lessons of love can be practised. Would any other person have touched a leper or a blind man? His message on humility was amply substantiated when he washed the feet of his disciples. Who else could have been so calm and gentle despite the insinuation, insult, injury, pain and suffering on the cross and does this not prove the practicality of Jesus' teaching of forgiveness? When Jesus said "Come unto me all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest" (Matthew 11:28), did he not show that through his teachings he always took sides with the needy, the suffering, the marginalized, the sidelined and the silenced? Through his teaching he made the oppressive and inhuman laws upside down. To the people who believed down the ages that justice is established through a vengeful and unforgiving law "eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot" (Exodus 21:24), he taught "And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloak forbid not to take thy coat also" (Luke 6:29). His journey to Golgotha proved that he is a teacher who could put into action all his teachings. Jesus was an ideal teacher, he was a role model. No wonder the world considers him the greatest teacher having all the qualities of a model teacher. Dr (Dr Dr.. JJ..

Care to know from the Bible if you are one such? One who follows Lord Jesus Christ in all His Ways, He is the Author and Finisher of Our Faith. A Christian does not feel ashamed when he suffers But in that Name let Him glorify God always; 'In life there are trials and temptations,' He said, 'Be of good cheer,I have overcome the world too,' To be Christ-like then,let us strive to be always, To follow in His Footsteps,let us train ourselves, For He alone is the Way,the Truth and the Life, Only through Him can we enter eternal life. Christianity is not a religion,you see, A Christian has direct relationship with God Who hath from the beginning longed for this same state, Communion with the Father and Son through the Spirit. The first Christians,the Disciples in Antioch, For a whole year they gathered with the Church each day, They taught many people what they learned from the Lord, With purpose of heart, they fully cleaved to the Lord. Then turn to Jesus ,invite Him into your heart, Be born again in the Spirit,take baptism, The Holy Spirit will come and reside within, Thus shall ye grow more in the knowledge of the Lord. Jesus said,"Love Your God with all your heart,soul, mind, You shall love your neighbour too as as you love yourself; A new commandment that we love one another; Ev'n as Jesus loves us, thus we should love others. Then shall true worshippers , worship God Almighty, In Spirit and Truth they worship Him alone; With a faith fathomless that overcomes all bounds, The Love and Mercy of God implanted within. By this all men will know we are His Disciples, When accordance with the Word we live each day; God is love,without love there can be no true life, Love thus forms the basis of a true Christian life. The fruit of the Spirit in him will be revealed, Love,Joy,Peace,Long-suffering,Gentleness,Goodness, Faith,Meekness,Temperance-make these part of your life, If we live by the Spirit,walk in the Spirit. Jesus went one step further- His Command to love: Do love your enemies,bless those that do curse you, Do good to them that hate you,pray for these people, Those who despitely use you and persecute you. Above all, go make disciples of all nations, Baptize in the Name of Father,Son and Spirit, Teach others to obey all that the Saviour said, Then shall He be with us ev'n to the end of age. 20 N¿®v thmbnkv ˛ sk]v‰w_¿ 2014 Poem Nominal Christians and Practical Christians! V. Justin 1 Many people practice Christianity, reading Bible, Attending church worship, prayers, giving offerings, Taking part in social activities, hearing preachers, etc! Jesus didn't approve deceiving "practicing Christians"! 7 So, they want to get everything by hook or crook, Not least bothered about what could happen to others! In their mad rush to achieve everything they want, They are least bothered about the happiness of others! 2 Jesus Christ didn't tell anybody to be such a Christian, 8 They can't bear the wellbeing of others around them, And appreciate the good things done by fellow beings! He told all people to follow Him taking their cross, Instead of helping others when they face problems To love all people like themselves, and thus to lead They ignore them and take care of their own matters! A practical life leading them to salvation and eternal life! 9 Let us examine ourselves seriously whether we are 3 Jesus Christ also told all those who followed Him False practicing Christians or real practical Christians, To equip themselves to face Satan and followers boldly, Who live patiently and willingly facing all difficulties As Satan has been leading people towards destruction, And troubles we come across prayerfully till the end! And away from the path to salvation and eternal life! 10 The false practicing Christians seek high positions 4 I heard two worldly successful "practicing Christians" In society, become leaders in church administration, Saying about a person, "He is not a practicing Christian"! And directors of institutions owned by the church! It made me think seriously and to find out what I am! They want to shine like luminaries in this world! Am I a false practicing Christian or a follower of Christ! 5 I come across plenty of nominal practicing Christians, 11 The true followers of Jesus Christ have the great duty Of praying for the welfare of every body in the world, But, not so many practical followers of Jesus Christ! And for their real conversion to become the followers I find many of the practicing Christians very dangerous Of Jesus Christ, carrying their cross with Him! Human beings whom people can't trust or love! 6 They do all kinds of selfish, jealous and crooked things 12 God will bless the children of those who follow Jesus, And His grace will be there with them for generations! The real followers of Jesus Christ can't even imagine! Those who follow Jesus Christ and do what he taught Their main aim is self gratification and the greed to Will get acceptance to live for ever in God's presence! Succeed in everything and to have a very pleasant life! 13 If we honestly pray what Jesus taught his disciples We have to live a real practical life to fulfill our prayer Exactly as Jesus meant when he taught that prayer, But, the false practicing Christians cheat Jesus Christ! N¿®v thmbnkv ˛ sk]v‰w_¿ 2014 21 Biography The Precious Gift from GOD Dr. Joan Felicita Samson ( A tribute to the grandparents in our church on September 7th 2014, the World Grandparents day) My paternal grandmother was no more, long before I was born and I know her only by the virtues that people vouch about her. She passed away at the very early age of 48 years leaving behind a single blurred black and white photograph (which my daddy took with his first camera)and a lot of clear, crisp and colourful videos of her hospitality, compassion and affection in the minds of all those who happened to associate with her. My paternal grandfather passed away at the age of seventy eight years, when I was only seven years. As far as I could hear from people of earlier generation, he was a legendary person, very active educationist in Trivandrum and a dynamic pioneer ecclesiastical leader in the South Kerala Diocese. I still cherish certain vivid memories of the love he had for me. He was not the kind of person who fondles or plays with you. In his late seventies, he was always fully engaged in either reading and noting down the new revelations he got from the Holy Bible or in composing Christian songs. I was one among his 8 grandchildren, but still possessed a special place in his heart, probably because he was staying with us. I remember how he would struggle to pluck custard apples, papayas, guavas, etc from the tall trees and how he used to get on the parapet to pluck jasmine flowers for me. We both used to enjoy doing these acrobatics from 8:00AM to 1:00PM, after daddy went to hospital (because daddy used to scold us saying all these were 'accident prone' actions). He was a very strict "appacha" when it comes to religious matters - he ensured pin drop silence and hundred percent attendance and participation for family prayers. My maternal grandparents whom I fondly called "mpa and mma" (short forms of grandpa and grandma) loved me and cared for me, more than anything in this whole world; I being their one and only grandchild - the only child of their only daughter. My grandpa was employed in the estates and my first memory about him takes me to a 'doll' he presented me at the time of his 22 N¿®v thmbnkv ˛ sk]v‰w_¿ 2014 retirement. It was an imported doll from Singapore which could open and close its eyes on changing positions (a common thing nowadays; but almost unheard of in the early 1980's). After grandpa's retirement, they settled in Nagercoil, their hometown. During my examination seasons my grandparents used to come over to Trivandrum to be with me and teach me, because both my parents were employed. Once the examination was over, they took me to their home town. Many delicacies will be awaiting me there viz. - Moti/Pears soap, new tooth brush, Close-up tooth paste, towels, new dress, etc,etc... all grandpa's special! The memories of all these still mean a lot to me even now! My grandma, a retired school teacher, would have already made arrangements for me to enjoy the holidays in a productive way (like piano classes, handwork classes, etc). The musts for her in the daily assignments include - regular Bible classes, a page each of English, Malayalam and Hindi transcription. My grandpa and grandma shifted to stay with us permanently when I joined MBBS course; I was extremely happy, as there was someone always at home. There were two pairs of anxious ears waiting eagerly to hear in detail all that took place at college on that day. What worried them most were my sleepless nights during MBBS examination days. Nearly 2 months after my marriage my grandpa succumbed to death, after a long, silent fight with Parkinsonism which was haunting him for more than 5 years. I was with him at his death bed and could feel the warmth of his body giving way to cold death. After that, grandma, a mature well-balanced lady returned to normal life within a very short span of time and started to involve in all types of house hold works. The most important character which I cherish in her is her far sightedness and the way she plans out things. I still remember how, even at the dusk of her life while being bedridden, she had a clear plan of what all dishes should be made for the next day. My elder son Joshua was able to get the warm attention of his great-grandmother for the first four years of his life. Even today, nearly five years after her death, he fondly recalls all the things she had taught him or done for him. To conclude ...no words in any dictionary is adequate to pay tribute to my grandparents. They were (LOVE + CARE + AFFECTION + SELFLESSNESS) infinitive.
