Make Every Effort To Enter Through The Narrow Door
A genuine Christian faith is a faith that leads you to think, acting and living out the truth you know. Unless one is born again, it is impossible for her to walk the path of following God. A born again Christian who walks through the narrow door is one who believes in Jesus is the only Way, Truth and the Life and she is absolute in her belief. She is also one who restores the right value of life, knowing that the world is transient and put her heart in pursuing the matters of the kingdom. As the world is always a delusion, to fight the daily spiritual battles she has to restore the right perspective of herself, i.e. identity of Child of God and the Promises of God that follows her come what may. May God tears down the falsehood that lingers in our lives and restore in us us the desire and willingness to live out the truth we know, and lead a life of entering through the narrow door.

Battling Inferiority, Indifference, Lack of Zeal
In this fast-paced society and highly demanding era, we are trapped in a system, both knowingly and unknowingly. What is this system? At first thoughts, this system seems to sound like laws and institutions. Yet if we inquire further, this system is in fact a godless and man-centric mindset, which very quickly develops into a disbelieving culture. As believers of God, we can be easily immobilized by such a systemic culture. We involuntarily subscribe to a certain way of thinking in this system of ours, be it with regards to merits, successes, achievements, problem-solving skills, etc. Such a system hurts the human soul and makes it grow cold. Consider, what happens to the fallouts of this system? They are constantly battling with inferiority (about self), indifference (about life), and lack of zeal (to do what ought to be done). May God open our eyes to this reality so that we can be sensitive to the needs of this era, and with that, relate the Gospel powerfully and relevantly.
