These are the three…


 These are the three…


             All that is in the world can be classified into three. These three are the things for which man can loose whatever he can. These three are the things for which man looses honesty, loyalty, faithfulness, goodness, commitment, compassion, love, and even humanity itself! 


   These are the three which man looks upon. But man knows for sure that these things are not permanent. These are the things that give mankind an impression that they will last forever but they can’t and they won’t. These are the three which hallucinates human mind that these are really success.


       These are the three for which even great revolutionaries who stand with people in their revolution against the powers and authorities change once they get power. These are the three which makes mankind like a brutal beast. These three can never be painted holy! They are intrinsically evil. These are the three which disguise themselves in all form to deceive mankind with all ways possible.


         These are called the three great desires! 

- the desire related to carnality example sexual desires of all kinds.

  • the desire of eyes or the desire of control of power to conquer everything our eye wants
  • The desire of possessions even though those who acquire them cannot even experience everything they possess. 


These are those for which mankind is ready even to loose its humanity to gain them! But these are the things on the path of destruction. The Bible says, these are passing away. The present evil age or this world is passing away along with these desires! Only truth which abides forever is the will of God, which sadly man never wants to trust or yield to! 

(Based on 1john 2:15-17)

When Ideologies Fail the Church: A Call to Holy Separation

  When Ideologies Fail the Church: A Call to Holy Separation By : Joshua Thangaraj Gnanasekar  (Editor- Pilgrim Echoes) Persecution against Christians in India is often treated casually—not because it is insignificant, but because it is  politically inconvenient . Those who blindly support the political agenda of the BJP tend to  downplay or justify  these incidents in the name of nationalism, law and order, or cultural pride. At the same time, this indifference becomes a  weapon in the hands of leftist and Dravidian ideologues , who exploit Christian suffering to inject fear, victimhood, and political dependency into the Church. Both reactions are dangerous. Both reduce the Church to a  pawn in ideological warfare . But the truth is far more uncomfortable for every political camp: 👉  No ideology truly protects the children of God. Christ Alone Stands With the Persecuted Church Scripture does not say that a party, movement, or government stands w...

Reclaiming Education as a Sacred Mission of the Church

  The Need of the Hour: Reclaiming Education as a Sacred Mission of the Church In a time when India’s government school system is facing a staggering crisis — with over 89,000 government schools shut down, including a decline of 29,410 in Madhya Pradesh and 25,126 in Uttar Pradesh as reported by Hindustan Times — there arises a clarion call for the Church in India to awaken from its long slumber and reclaim education not as a secular endeavor, but as a holy service to the nation. This is not just a statistic; it’s a national emergency. A Historical Reminder: Education as a Christian Legacy India owes much of its modern educational foundations to the selfless and visionary work of Christian missionaries. Men and women like William Carey, Alexander Duff, Amy Carmichael, and Ida Scudder saw education not merely as a tool for literacy, but as a means to reveal the light of truth, to elevate human dignity, to empower the downtrodden, and to create a morally grounded, intellect...

Rethinking Humanity: What Jesus Reveals About the Dignity of Women

  Rethinking Humanity: What Jesus Reveals About the Dignity of Women By: Joshua Thangaraj Gnanasekar - Founder & Director of Academy of Christian Studies Throughout history, societies have struggled to understand the true dignity and purpose of human beings. In many cultures women have been marginalized, treated as inferior, or denied equal dignity. At other times, reactions against such injustices have produced ideological movements that seek to redefine identity and relationships in ways that move away from the biblical vision of humanity. In both cases, the fundamental problem remains the same: humanity has forgotten its original design. The Bible begins with a profound declaration about human identity. In Genesis 1:27 we read: “So God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.” This verse establishes the theological foundation for human dignity. Both men and women are created in the  image of God  (Imago Dei)...
