[JOYnet] from Palliyachan
Slow Down! This is the day of salvation . Listen. Dear friends, it is a long time since I spoke I knew you were all praying for me. Yes, it was an occassion for me to listen to the Lord and to listen to my body and to discern His ways.There is a need of slowing down. Alleluia! Thank you one and all for your prayers. Every war begins in our hearts. Hence the Lord reminds us that we need to constantly examine and purify our hearts. What defiles a man is what comes out of his mouth, for the things that come out of the mouth, come from the heart and these make the man unclean. Mt. 15: 18-19. Where did the 2nd world war begin ? In the heart of Hitler ! External vigilance is the price of Freedom , said Laskey, the political scientist . This is the reason for the saying that regularly the Church and the society need to be renewed and purified . Individuals, communities and organisations get contaminated and in turn poison the world. Our Holy Father made so many apologies on behalf of the Church, for the crusades and other such practises that we indulged in , in the past against humanity. Some of our brothers in the Islamic world swear by Jihad-holy war! Can a war be holy? There is so much of venom in our hearts which is perpetuated through revenge, retaliation and hatred. Read Jer 17:9-10, Jer 9: 5 and Rom 3: 13. We need a look into ourselves honestly and identify these traits that create insecurity problems in us and around us. This is the ffirst step towards change and transformation. We also need to send out vibrations of Love, Joy and Peace. Shanti Mantra needs to be our weapon to defuse tension built up all over. Repentance and Conversion demands of us a change in Life-style too. May the Lord help us to become messengers of Peace in the days to come.

[JOYnet] SITUATIONS VACANT : POST OF EVANGELISTS
Dear Friends, The plight of the UN aid workers on trial in Afghanistan for the crime of preaching Christianity once again reminds us of our Christian duty to evangelise whatever the odds. The modern day Catholic unfortunately does not see any point in sacrificing his comfort and security for the sake of evangelisation. The flip side of not focussing on evangelisation is that members start leaving the Church to join other religions or the new sects. This phenomenon has already reached alarming proportions in many parishes of Mumbai. The crux of effective evangelisation is understanding and making others understand the grace of Baptism. Jesus voluntarily subjected himself to the rite of baptism in the river Jordan before beginning His public ministry and went on to say that no one can enter the kingdom of heaven unless he is reborn of water and the Spirit (i.e. baptised). The grace of Baptism: #61623; Baptism results in the forgiveness of the individuals sins (original plus personal) as well as the punishment for sin, thereby making him an adopted son of God and partaker in his divine nature. #61623; The baptised person receives the gift of faith and the anointing of the Holy Spirit. #61623; Baptism further opens the doors for him to receive the Sacraments of Reconciliation, Eucharist and Confirmation. We must realise that the devil has a vested interest in preventing people from becoming Christians. He knows that unbaptised people can be easily deceived when it comes to spiritual matters. False religions are one of the deceptions practiced by him on them. The false religions keep their adherents burdened and pre-occupied with meaningless rituals and superstitions. They exchange the truth about God for a lie, and teach people to worship and serve the creation (i.e. stars, nature, animals, idols, humans, angels etc.) instead of the Creator himself (ROM 1:25). It is only the anointing of the Holy Spirit (received through Baptism and affirmed through Confirmation) which enables man to see the lie. This is why Holy Mother Church holds firm to the mission she has received from the Lord, to see to it that as many people as possible are baptised. Let us be clear whom we are fighting against. We have no quarrel with our Hindu or Moslem brethren. Our real fight is against the forces of darkness. Jesus tells us that He is sending us out as lambs among the wolves. St Paul tells us to put on the whole armour of God. The Church asks you and me today: Have you grown up to evangelisation yet? Hai tujme ithna dham? SOJAN K.

[JOYnet] Seven Spiritual Truths -- The Next Two(To Be Contd)
1. Source 2. Sin Separation 3. Sacrifice 4. Salvation Receiving Christ Christ-Directed Life 5. Sacraments 6. Safety 7. Send 3. SACRIFICE Jesus served the penalty for our sins when He sacrificed Himself on the cross. He was pierced for our transgressions,he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed. Isaiah 53:5 But God demonstrates his own love toward us,in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8 Jesus death restores our relationship with God. He alone bridges the gap that separates us from God. I am the way and the truth and the life.No one comes to the Father except through me. John 14:6 For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all men. 1 Timothy 2:5-6 4. SALVATION Jesus offers us eternal salvation - heaven - as a gift. For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:23 For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16 As with any gift, salvation is not ours until we accept it. To do so we must decide to receive Jesus into our lives by faith and take action by leading a good life. For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God. Ephesians 2:8 Faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead. James 2:17 How do we receive Jesus into our lives? RECEIVING CHRIST The above three circles represent three kinds of lives. The first circle shows a self-directed life. Self is on the throne and Christ is outside the life. Interests and activities are directed by self. The second circle is also a self-directed life, but Christ is now an interest. Note that self is still on the throne. The third circle represents a Christ-directed life. Christ is on the throne and self yields to Christ. Now interests and activities are directed by Christ. Each circle can be further understood by the following analogy. The person in the first circle is single; there is no relationship with Christ and no commitment. The second person is dating Christ; there is some relationship but very low commitment. Finally, the person in the third circle is married to Christ; there is a strong relationship and high commitment. Which circle best represents your life? Which circle would you like to have represent your life? How do I get a Christ-directed life? CHRIST-DIRECTED LIFE Getting a Christ-directed life is simple, much like exchanging marriage vows. You simply say yes or I do to Jesus and commit yourself to Him by asking Him to be a part of your life, in good times and in bad. You can make that commitment to Jesus right now. Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will enter his house and dine with him, and he with me. Revelation 3:20 Jesus knows your heart and is not concerned with your words, or if you have been good or bad in the past. What counts for Him is the present attitude of your heart, like the following prayer. Lord Jesus, I want to know you personally. I admit that I have sinned and done what is wrong. Thank you for dying for my sins so that I could have eternal life. I open the door of my heart and receive you as my Saviour and Lord. Direct my life. Make me the kind of person you want me to be. Amen. Does this prayer express the desire of your heart? If it does, pray the prayer right now, and Christ will come into your life. Now that Jesus is in your life, He will nurture your new-found relationship with Him. _ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp This mail is generated from JOYnet, a Jesus Youth mailing list.
