F for “Facebook” 
Oh No! “F” is for “Faithbook”


Facebook is one of the famous social networking website.  Here one need to register and can upload photos videos and send messages to their friends by posting it on the wall as well as one can send private mails too.
It was founded by Mark Zuckerberg with his college roommates and fellow Harvard University students Eduardo Saverin, Andrew McCollum, Dustin Moskovitz and Chris Hughes.  The membership was initially limited by the founders to Harvard students, but was expanded to other colleges in the Boston area, the Ivy League, and Stanford University. It gradually added support for students at various other universities before opening to high school students, and eventually to anyone aged 13 and over. Facebook now allows any users who declare themselves to be at least 13 years old to become registered users of the site.  This is now available in 37 different languages.


It has now many features like kno-it-all, Marketplace, groups, events, pages etc.
These days many use it mainly to promote their products, services and resources; no doubt it’s a good media to reach millions of people in a fraction of seconds. A good number of people join and visit this site to just to pass their time, or to do some kind of gossips or just to relax after a day’s toil.

OMG!!!

My title already said that this post on “F” is not on Facebook but on “Faithbook”
But I am going away from my intended subject.  Let me come to the point.  I am slightly worried to note that few of you may disagree with my points here.  Anyways, I need to express what I mean to express.  If you got annoyed it you can coolly go to the other blog.

Ok this Faithbook is a different one from the popular facebook.  Yes, in its entirety it is different from the other.
  
Whether you accept it or not, Faithbook or The Bible is the greatest of all and it cannot be denied that it is the most remarkable and precious one, human beings ever received.   Yes, it’s amazing and no doubts a ‘Unique Book’.  Yes it’s written by the inspiration of God.  When one goes through it he can realize that God himself is talking through it.   And you can communicate with God any time 24/7 through prayer and supplication.

Not only that you can find any solution for your life’s problems.  It’s a guide book towards the journey to heaven.  If follow the instructions in scripted in it you will surely reach the destination safely.   No other books on this earth give such detailed instructions to human being connected with his life and destiny.
Follow the instructions and be sure about your life!

But please do not listen to my words; look into the following facts and check out for yourself.

A)    The Bible is unique in its continuity, and it’s written over a 1,500 year time span by over 40 authors from different walks of life from kings to peasants at different places at different intervals.  It’s unique because the authors of different experiences dealt with number of controversial subject in full harmony. All the authors outlined God’s great love towards man.

B)    The Bible has more reads than any other book.  It’s still the number one book in sale. And it was the first major book printed; it is first printed at Gutenberg’s press.

C)    The Bible has been translated and published in more languages than any other book.

D)   The Bible is the only book which withstood many attacks by its enemies.  Kings and rulers tried to destroy it from the time of Roman emperors to the present day rulers. Even in spite of the countless opposition its teachings and truths have been preserved, it is in itself a miracle.

E)     Modern archaeologists have confirmed and proven the Bible’s absolute accuracy and proven it to be a source of History.

F)     The Bible is the only book ever produced which contains a good number of prophecies which is prophesied thousands of years back fulfilled accurately.
These are some of the amazing facts about the amazing and unique book, but unfortunately a good number of people who consider themselves as smart and intelligent just ignore it for their peril.


Jesus Christ Wants to put you in His Book. 

Do you Accept.  It is up to you to decide.

You need not worry about the 4, 7 10, 14 days or one months

  block from the book, or no fear about getting deleted from the 

 account permanently.  No. This registration is a permanent one, 

 and once registered you are safe in His hand.

Life or Death Questions Your Church MUST Ask- A Must Read To All Christians....


The American evangelical church is in a rather desperate condition. You’ve heard that America is a “Christian” nation and that Christianity is dominant.


Perhaps it’s the popular religion, but far fewer people are attending church than we realize. And we’re only planting one fourth of the number of new churches needed to keep pace with America’s current population growth and rate of decline in existing churches.....

Let Us Not Despise the Word of God: Let Us Heed To It





The Holy Bible
sxu.hu

Credit CL Magazine


It’s about the wonderful and marvelous Book (The Bible), the human ever received as a gift from God. The writer narrates its importance in an individual’s life. It also reveals the stability and accuracy of the Bible.



We live in a world, which is subject to changes.

Every moment changes are taking place. What we see now disappears the next moment. Those who are in high places today are unceremoniously removed from there tomorrow. But in this transitory world, there remains one thing immovable. That is the Holy Bible, which we possess. But to our own shame and sorrow, we see almost everywhere an increasing tendency to belittle this priceless treasure-The Bible


This book contains the gracious words of Lord Jesus Christ; we should meditate it day and night. 


The first Psalm begins with the word ”Blessed”. One godly man had described it as an introduction to Psalms, which he called God’s hymnbook. Whenever we hear the word ”Blessed” the thought that comes immediately to our mind is of ”person who is perfect and self-sufficient, having all things and is in need of nothing”. But in the Holy Writ, this word is used in an entirely different connotation (context). It is used in relation to the word of God. In the Psalms and the gospels, the word” blessed” with the same context is recorded several times. It is further clarified in Revelation 1:3. Many Old Testament saints, from Abraham, are called “blessed” in the Holy Scriptures. But we, the believers are a congregation of blessed men and women, who are elevated to the height and pinnacle of it. Yea, we are a blessed people.



This truth was made clear by the apostle Paul, while writing to the Ephesians (1:3; 2:7). A picture of our highly exalted position today can be viewed there. 



The entire joy of the blessed man in Psalm 1 is centered in the law of the Lord. He rejoices in God’s word as a man who happened to find a great booty (Psalm 119:162). 

 It is a matter of great importance for us to know what the source and object of our joy is. Is it in the pleasures of the world? If so, it is only momentary. 

 It is a joyful experience to find delight in God and His Word day and night. Such a man is compared to “a tree by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth its fruit in the right season; its leaf also shall not wither”. 

 The benefits we receive from a tree are many. It has been estimated that a palm tree is useful to man in more than 250 things. 

 It is also estimated that an ordinary tree inhales approximately 14000 liters of carbon dioxide, and exhales double the quantity of oxygen for human survival. 



 Just as a tree render selfless service, a godly man is obliged also to serve selflessly. Let us labor without any desire for benefits; God is the rewarder. The root of such shall be established in the word of God. 

 They receive nourishment from it for growth and maturity. That will also cause blessings to many. Let us receive strength by being rooted in Christ and His word, like the tree planted by the riverside. Those who are not so shall disappear like the chaff driven away by the wind (1:4). Their way leads to destruction. 


We will reflect the divine nature by our constant communion with the word of God. 



Separation from the world is inevitable to receive blessings from God. At the same time, without their co-operation, our lives will be miserable, as long as we are in the world. However, it is absolutely possible for us to live a life without absorbing the impurities of this world. 



How bitter were the consequences of being carried away into the world for Peter. He reached a stage where he had to deny his beloved Master. Peter who “followed afar off”, ended up sitting with them to warm himself. To be carried away into the world is a gradual process. 



Another example before us is Lot. He was attracted to this world by its greenery, and ended up most miserably. 



Believers should keep themselves away from the world. What is meant by “the world”? Whatever comes, as an obstruction between God and us is the “world.” It may differ from to person. To some, it may be their fortune, job, children, and family relationships and so on. 



In a world subject to changes, many storms and waves may lash against the boat of our lives. If the Lord is in the boat, we have no reason to fear. Let us grant priority to the Lord and His words. Let’s not despise it. Let us make sure that the Lord is in the boat. May the Lord help us.

Death Is Inevitable, But You Need not Fear….


Many fear even hearing the sound of this word. And
Many do not like to talk about it too.  Because it is such a word that, it creates a kind of fear and commotion among the individuals

In this connection let us go back to the creation story. When God created man He created them in His image, and there was no death,.  But unfortunately man sinned and come short of the glory of God and death entered in and it continued to rule.  The Bible the God’s Word  says:  “The wages of sin is death.”
And it is appointed for men to die once, but after this judgment (Heb 9: 27).

 Death is inevitable  But You Need not Fear….
Yes, If you are a believer  in Christ and accepted Him as your personal Savior an Lord you need not fear. It is for sure that you need not fear death.

Yes, a believer’s life in Christ is sure and secure, His destination is clear and an appointed one.  After the death He  will be taken to Heaven.

The Bible says: "The death of His children is so precious to Him that it will not be an accident  Yes  his death is Precious in the Sight of God

But contrary to this in the recent past there was a news emerge into the scenario.

“
The breaking news was this an media put it as The Biggest Breaking News Ever!” IN 20 YEARS, SCIENCE MIGHT MAKE IT POSSIBLE TO LIVE FOR EVER. What a wonderful revelation.  This news item has published in a weekly magazine called “The Sunday Indian” (the only news magazine on earth in 14 languages) edited and published by Prof. Arindam Chaudhuri, a world renewed management guru (teacher). He said in his editorial, “A scientist claiming that those who live for another twenty odd years might actually go on to live forever. The scientist, Ray Kurzweil, has been dubbed by none other than Bill Gates as the ‘smartest futurist on earth’. So when he speaks, you listen. As per Ray in another twenty years, science would probably invent ways to re-programme our bodies and thereby reverse the ageing process; and then nano-technology would let us live forever! Read more on this subject here @(My Response to This in my other blog page)
and read an editorial by Prof. Arindam Chaudhuri Here.

What a sad finding or attempt to live forever.  Yes, there is no end to the desires of man.

The life expectancy of man is up to 70 or 75 years, The Bible too says that: " The days of our lives are seventy years; And if by reason of strength they are eighty years, Yet their boast is only labor and sorrow;  For it is soon cut off, and we fly away. (Psalms 90: verse 10)

It is for sure that man will die one day and it is appointed for everyone.  We all know that one day we will die.  But the believers' in Christ have a wonderful hope that after the life on this earth they will be going to a wonderful place Jesus Christ is preparing for them.  So for others,  its vital to take a decision on this, and is very important to make our lives count as long as we are living on this earth.  There is no doubt that there will be problems and difficulties on this earth but to end of all this will happen in Christ's return, as the Bible call it as "Jesus' Second Coming"

Be Serious and think on this line- The Bible says: "He who does the will of God abides forever" (1 John Chapter 2 verse 17).  Death Is appointed to everyone, And it is Inevitable too. No scientist or intellect can re-write this truth.

So Let Us Make a Decision Today to inherit that wonderful place called Heaven.  
Let us obtain this by doing the will of God.

May Go help each one of my readers here

Have A Blessed Time Ahead.

Though I have joined knol on September 23rd 2008 I was inactive for quite sometime and recently I started contributing again and it’s really interesting and encouraging to interact with people here, though I had some unpleasant experiences with few, but that was a blessing in disguise and it helped me to go further with more vigor and enthusiasm. And within a short span I could make it to the ‘Top Viewed Author Award’ list and could make comments and reviews to the other authors at knol.  I now introduce and encourage my friends and other contacts to join this community called KNOL  Though knol is still in its infancy thousands of contributors are already joined and it is a fast growing website to acquire genuine and trustworthy information about anything in this universe.  There is a good response to my call and few are already here with their knols on my invitation and doing a tremendous job here.
I take this opportunity to invite my other friends and readers to actively involve here at knol as well as to tell about this to their friends and relatives.  Knol is a wonderful place to air your knowledge, views on any subject.
