Our God Holds All things Together

Adrian Rogers

BIBLE MEDITATION:
“And He is before all things, and by Him all things consist.” Colossians 1:17

DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
There are critics of Christianity who say that Jesus wasn’t really the Messiah. All He did was arrange His life to fulfill the prophecies. And they’re right! He really did. The only thing is, He arranged it centuries before He was born!

• He arranged to be born in Bethlehem (Micah 5:2).
• He arranged His peasant background and the humiliation He would suffer (Isaiah 53:3).
• He arranged that He would be betrayed and sold for thirty pieces of silver (Zechariah 11:12-13).
• He arranged His crucifixion with the piercing of His hands and feet (Psalm 22:16).
• He arranged He would be buried in a rich man’s tomb (Isaiah 53:9).
• Finally, Jesus arranged that He would be followed by millions who, with no hope of material gain and at a cost of their own lives, would set out to convince others of Him.

Oh yes! He arranged it all! Glory to God!

ACTION POINT:
Praise God for His power, His plan, and His control over all things! Truly, nothing is too hard for Him, and “in Him we live and move and have our being.”

His mother is also an English teacher. He has 2 siblings who are both lecturers in English. The family belongs to the highest Hindu caste of Brahmins. Since childhood Rambabu grew up listening to many mythological stories from his grandmother. She used to say that in olden days, it was known that because we cannot see God physically in the world, he has created Brahmans in the world. All the thousands of gods live in the Brahmins. Rambabu from his childhood would perform all religious duties in two different temples. He would pray and perform “puja” every morning and night. Rambabu knew all the religious traditions so well that other people would invite him to perform religious activities in their homes. He was such strict Brahmin that he would

Mahatma Gandhi admired Jesus and His teachings but did not follow "Christianity"

Image
As Gandhi famously said, “I like your Christ; I do not like your Christians. They are so unlike your Christ.” See, that’s a problem. And it’s not that I expect Christians to be perfect. Far from it. But if we’re ever going to be justified in claiming Jesus as the model for our lives, it might help first if there was more of a resemblance. Mahatma Gandhi is one of the most respected leaders of modern history. A Hindu, Gandhi nevertheless admired Jesus and often quoted from the Sermon on the Mount. Once when the missionary E. Stanley Jones met with Gandhi he asked him, "Mr. Gandhi, though you quote the words of Christ often, why is that you appear to so adamantly reject becoming his follower?" Gandhi replied, "Oh, I don't reject your Christ. I love your Christ. It's just that so many of you Christians are so unlike your Christ." Apparently Gandhi's rejection of Christianity grew out of an incident that happened when he was a young man practi

The Story of Sadhu Sundar Singh- his encounter with Jesus

Image
His Family & Religious Background One hundred and twelve years ago on September 1889, Sundar Singh was born to Sher Singh of Rampur, Punjab in northern India. His mother, a deeply religious woman, nurtured him in the noble traditions of the Sikhs. Sundar often spoke of his mother with much love and respect because of the good foundation she laid for his life to come. Little did anyone know what God was about to do with this keenly intelligent and disciplined young man. He was raised in the luxury of his family's wealth. As a Sikh, Sundar was taught about Hinduism and came along with his parents to Hindu and Sikh temples. By the age of seven he had already memorized Bhagavadgita , the intricate Hindu dialogue containing spiritual life lessons. At sixteen, not only had he mastered the Vedas , the ancient sacred books of Hinduism, but he had also read Qur'an , the sacred book of Islam. He then got acquainted with some sadhus who taught him Yoga
