What Does Obadiah Advise When Calamity Strikes Another

Last updated on: September 7, 2023 at 3:59 pm   By Sabina Tagore Immanuel

Calamity Comment I happened to be reading the book of Obadiah around the time a major calamity hit one of the prominent leaders in my city. He and his family went through the tragic loss of a beloved child in an unexpectedly horrific accident that shook them all. It was a day of extreme distress and trouble for this family that hurt them deeply. I was privy to the details of the case since my father was the local investigating... Read more

Best Battle Tactic and Strategy – Covering One Another’s Back!

Last updated on: August 31, 2023 at 10:14 am   By Sabina Tagore Immanuel

0 Comments

Battle Mode In Ephesians 6:10-16, there is one part of the body that doesn’t seem to be covered by the armor: the back. The apostle Paul, after describing the various portions of the armor of God, concludes with a request to pray for him and his team that they would be granted the boldness to speak the gospel (Eph. 6:18-20). Prayer is needed not only to activate the armor, but also to provide protective armor and cover for the others’... Read more

Last updated on: August 13, 2025 at 11:44 am   By Sabina Tagore Immanuel

Transition times Transition is a change or shift from one state, subject, place, etc. to another. August is usually a time of transition, with parents and students negotiating the move from and to various levels of education. Climatically also it is the season of wrestling with the dog days of summer before autumn sets in the Northern hemisphere. Tove Jansson declares “August is the border between summer and autumn”. August in the Southern hemisphere is the seasonal equivalent of February,... Read more

How and Where Can Men Find True Rest

Last updated on: August 11, 2023 at 12:51 pm   By Sabina Tagore Immanuel

Rest and Vacation  When we travel by road and cross places where repair work is being done, we normally see the sign “CAUTION. MEN AT WORK”, but we never come across a sign that says “TAKE CARE. MEN AT REST”. Probably the only place we can expect to see something similar is at a cemetery, as an epitaph! In the fast-paced activity-prone, post-modern world of today, rest is probably the most neglected and sidelined aspect of life. The word rest... Read more

Family Talk My son-in-law (actually a son than a law) and I often take time to discuss about the ministry and work of God, since both of us happen to operate within the realm of the church. Our repartee would bring insights and growth that enhanced us both. Being at different ends of the age spectrum, as iron sharpens iron, we crystallize and shape one another’s understanding that causes expansion in our thoughts. In one such recent colloquy, we were... Read more

Parenting Expectations The mandate of God to the nation of Israel as they were about to enter the promised land, in the book of Deuteronomy, was simple: Follow Him wholeheartedly, obeying His laws, and teach your children to do the same. Core to their existence as a nation and people of God was the aspect of vigorously and rigorously transferring their faith in God and their allegiance to Him to the next generation.

Journey’s End or Journey’s Joy?

Last updated on: June 12, 2023 at 4:17 pm   By Sabina Tagore Immanuel

Travel Tales My family loves to travel and visit, places and people, making time in a year to do so. I, especially, love the journey time between my origin and destination. It is as though you are in a vacuum, hanging free in time. I feel in a limbo, away from the tension of my start and yet to feel the impact of my end. If my travel is during the day, the countryside and nature passing by my window,... Read more
