uncovering - the UNCOVER London Mission

uncovering - the UNCOVER London Mission - Part 1

Being in Essex (in South East England), which is something new for me is very exciting as it is a whole world apart when compared to the monotonous and really busy life of a Londoner. But I am here at Mile End 4 days a week, and have the urge to meet new people and be a witness for Christ everywhere I am. Its been four months since I am in UK and from the very first week of university, I have been involved with a group of friendly Christians who have not only been supportive but also really nice people.

In fact, I am the only Indian among the MSc program and although there are a few Christians in my course, I have not been able to talk about my love for Jesus to them. Now, this is compensated by the Queen Mary Christian Union and the lively bunch of programs we had so far. There was the Christmas carols and lovely talks on Creation, Relationship with Jesus, and a lot of wonderful study groups. Now, recently we had met for a project called uncover.

So what was/ is uncover?

The Christian Union over the last year had done some nice surveys on what would people ask God? or how would they react to seeing Jesus here today? and what is your favourite film? The top choices in London were

* Lord of the Rings (Triology)
* The Shawshank Redemption
* Inception

Now what the UCCF had done was bring into light these films and help to strike a very good conversational topic that got a lot of students in London talking about it and we had a great speaker. Krish, as they call him, was splendid, he gave such wonderful analogies and made some topics very brilliantly crystal clear. the next post is on Karma with a great analogy by Krish

The Nativity - by Gari Melchers

This could be my first ever critique of art that I have ever written and that is because it is only recently art has captured my interest as much as this work. This write up is made both in English and German as I want to practice my German. 'The Nativity' by Gari Melchers. I am not an art expert and my critique is from a layman's point of view, but bear with me. I have tried reading some information about the art and the culture behind it and I have my two favourite blog posts about the same work and yes, I have shamelessly copied some of their thoughts. Woebegone but Hopeful and other is by Lisa VO . Julius Garibaldi Melchers (August 11, 1860 – November 30, 1932) was an American artist. He was one of the leading American proponents of naturalism.

2 Kings 5 | Part 2 | Naaman and the Offense of the cross

This section of the story in 2 Kings chapter 5 focuses on Naaman. We know that Naaman was the commander in chief of the armies of Syria and possibly the right hand man as he was incharge of strategic, political and warfare and security. This was a very prestigious role that Naaman had earned. Some Jewish Rabbis say that his ruthlessness and his power resulted in God punishing Naaman with Tzaraat which is translated as Leprosy. For the sake of these notes, I would consider the word Leprosy. Naaman was powerful and wise. In fact, it was God who had blessed him from the start. The verse says that Naaman was a powerful and influential man valued by the king greatly. His victory was a gift from God to Aram. Why would God bless a foreign nation to attack the Israelites? In Deuteronomy chapter 28, Moses tells the people that God would make the enemies of Israel punish the people of God if they are disobedient. Jehoram, the then king of Israel was the son of Ahab. Ahab and his wife Jezebel le

Unlike the letter of James, this book is written to a Jewish / Gentile Christians who are scattered across various provinces that are outside their ideal world. In the last two weeks we have been looking at what it means to live as people who love God. Today and the weeks to follow, we will look at how this is meant to be worked out as people living among other nations.
