A Biblical Vision of Success in Christian Life and Ministry

Last updated on: October 17, 2026 at 2:02 am   By Sabina Tagore Immanuel

The Concern and Quest  Recent trends and tendencies I note around me in the Christian realm – in people, in ministry circles, faith communities and churches – is quite disturbing. I was privileged to be born at a time and season when these adhered to the biblical principles and patterns, truly being salt and light of the earth. Godly men and women, stalwart churches and communities, were unashamedly and uncompromisingly calibrated to the Word of God and stuck on His... Read more

What it Means to be a Leader, Not a CEO in God’s House

Last updated on: July 21, 2026 at 8:51 pm   By Sabina Tagore Immanuel

The Disease plaguing us More often than not the church of today has adopted the norm of this present age. It has focused on adaptability to the culture of society at large. In the name of being relevant to the world around in order to create impact, it has lost out on the Biblical patterns. Nowhere is this so obvious and so blatant as in the way leadership is viewed in church today. The Bible doesn’t talk much about leadership... Read more

Social Responsibility Social Responsibility is an ethical principle that requires individuals and organizations to act in ways that benefit society and the environment. Community Social Responsibility covers civic duties, structured volunteerism, mutual aid and environmental stewardship. Corporate Social responsibility (CSR) is a business model that encourages companies to operate in ways that enhance society and the environment while still being accountable to their stakeholders and the public. As a Christian, I moot the concept of CSR as Church Social Responsibility... Read more

The Eternal Check-up: How Is Your Spiritual Portfolio?

Last updated on: January 23, 2026 at 9:23 pm   By Sabina Tagore Immanuel

​The Wake-Up Call ​It began with a routine medical appointment – the kind many of us schedule out of obligation. My husband and I went for a full health assessment, including blood tests and diagnostic parameters. When the results arrived, they formed a comprehensive Health Portfolio. ​The experience was sobering. Seeing deviations from the norm on a page has a way of focusing the mind. I immediately shifted my lifestyle: I adhered to the diet charts, prioritized exercise, and aligned... Read more

The Art of Gifting as Demonstrated and Depicted by the Magi

Magi Details  The story of the Magi plays a very significant part in the Christmas story. According to sources, Magi (singular: Magus) refers primarily to ancient Persian priests/wise men. They’re famously known in Christian tradition as the Three Wise Men who visited baby Jesus with gifts (gold, frankincense, myrrh), symbolizing the first Gentiles recognizing Christ. These “wise men from the East” followed a star to find Jesus, marking a significant event for early Christianity, celebrated at Epiphany (Jan 6). They... Read more

Thy Word I’ve Hidden in My Heart’s Deep Keep The Storage No Technology Can Replace More Than Terabytes in a Teenager’s Thumb Drive One of the episodes in my favorite TV series, Person of Interest by Christopher Nolan, portrays a high school student who looks to be average. Yet, as is often the case, he is actually a mathematical genius and a prodigy in software programing. He develops a compression algorithm that condenses terabytes into a thumb drive.

Salvaging or Disposing: Restoration vs Rejection

A Painful Lesson: Salvaging Teeth Through Dental Care An unbearable tooth pain followed by a dental consultation showed a root canal infection needing immediate attention. As the doctor dealt with it, quite severely in fact because of the extent of infection, I distracted myself by thinking of the process of saving and salvaging, the opposite of disposing and destroying! Historical Roots of Salvaging vs. Disposing Salvaging is a term related to ships and seas, with marine salvage being the process... Read more

Wilderness to Promised Land: Trusting God In Uncertain Times

Introduction: When Everything You Knew Changes Overnight Picture this: You were a slave yesterday. Today, you’re free—but standing at the edge of an endless desert with no map, no supplies, and no idea what comes next. Welcome to wilderness living. This was Israel’s reality after the Red Sea miracle. One moment, they were dancing on the shores of their greatest deliverance, Pharaoh’s army swallowed by the waters behind them. The next moment, the euphoria faded, replaced by a sobering question that... Read more

Financial Principles from Joseph – How to Handle Surplus

Last updated on: December 8, 2025 at 10:17 pm   By Sabina Tagore Immanuel

  An Unusual Season of Surplus There was a season in our life when my husband and I faced an unusual situation — we had extra cash in hand every month. This was far from normal for us. Usually, we barely had enough for our needs, and sometimes even less. Suddenly, I was faced with a new dilemma: What should I do with this excess? How do I handle surplus? Since my husband trusted me fully with managing the home... Read more
