Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, At the very outset, let me congratulate the Vicar, Church Committee members and the webmaster to bring out a beautiful web page for our church. May it grow to be one of the best Christian websites and be of good source of information and inspiration to the earnest seekers of spiritual growth. Internet has grown to be a highly resourceful media and the spread of the Gospel of our Lord and Savior JESUS CHRIST through the Internet has been amazing. A search for the word "BIBLE" in two of the most popular Internet search engines have produced the following results - |
|
Google - about 70,700,000 and Yahoo - about 170,000,000 of web pages for bible (as on 17th September 2005). It is growing day by day. Looking at these figures one can fathom how much Biblical resources are available on the Internet. In my next article, I shall provide details of few highly resourceful Christian web sites. Gone are the days when our good old "Upadeshis" used to go around and distribute tracts on gospel. Internet and TV have taken up that job of distributing "E-tracts". We must praise God for the new inventions of the mankind and surely in the days to come, these electronic media will take the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the ends of the earth. Jesus is "the missionary of the Father;" and each Christian is his witness. Let his voice proclaim the gospel through us as we bring the good news of salvation to the ends of the earth. Thousands of people around the world are coming to a saving faith in Jesus Christ. Yet the stark reality remains: 1.7 billion people still have little or no access to the gospel message. Hence let each one of us contribute our talents and
resources to make the Gospel reach those people. In this context,
I would quote from the Bible: Yes, we are committed to taking the gospel to the
ends of the Earth GOD Bless you all. SURESH THOMAS |
