Dearly Beloved in Christ,
Greetings in the precious name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ,
Thank God for the blessings we received from God last month which helped us to lead a joyful healthy life witnessing Christ in our worship and church activities. I express my gratitude and love to all the parishioners who have cooperated in all the programs held in our parish in September. Thank you all for your continued support and prayers.
1Tim.3:1-2 “The saying is trustworthy: If anyone aspires to the office of overseer, he desires a noble task. Therefore, an overseer must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, sober-minded, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach”, We all have heard "The family that prays together stays together". But is prayer is all we need? Not greedy about money, not quarrelsome, gentle, not a drunkard, an apt teacher, Hospitable, respectable, sensible, above reproach, temperate, should have married only once, should be well thought by outsiders and should not be a recent convert are some qualities which Paul emphasizes here while giving instructions to Timothy for a servant of God.
William Carey, also known as father of modern mission to India came to India in 1792. Till his death is 1834, he worked tirelessly for the Lord. He said, "Expect great things from God, Attempt great things for God". He was able to translate the Bible in almost 40 languages and start a Christian College. As Joshua said, "As for me and my family we will serve the Lord". (Joshua.24:15) the call for the whole family is to become His Representatives here on earth doing what he taught us to do through the Great Commission that is (Matthew 28:18-20)
May God Bless us all abundantly.
