#WATCH# | On Kunal Kamra row, Shiv Sena MP Milind Deora says, "Let me say one thing very clearly, comedy is an essential form of any society. Balasaheb Thackeray himself was a cartoonist, he himself believed in using comedy and humour. But there is a huge difference between being a classist, elitist, paid agent, trying to bail out a party. That is facing a case in Bombay High Court by a girl who died under mysterious circumstances by her own father. Nowadays, a new trend is to protect entitled monarchists who preach about democracy and meritocracy, is to use classist and elitist under the garb of liberalism. This has been exposed earlier when people tried to mock Narendra Modi because he came from a very humble background and he rose to become PM of the world's largest democracy. In the same way, they are trying to mock a man who came from nothing and rose to become CM of the country's second largest state. These people have been rejected by the people of Maharashtra and the people of India and it is very clear who these people are working for and why they are working for them."

GOD's love comes with GOD's disciplines Hebrews 12:6 For the Lord disciplines the one He loves, and He chastises every son He receives. The way GOD loves is not the same as a man loves. Those who misunderstand His love as a man's love will find GOD's love irrational. When a man loves, as seen when a man loves a woman, he loves her for what she represents, as if she is a product carrying a perceived promise. He loves for a reason or with a motive. No one loves for no reason except for the sake of loving. Unless he is like GOD, loving unconditionally. GOD proves His unconditional love: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. That is, despite us being vile, detestable and hideous according to His standard, GOD still loves us by dying for us. His love compels Him to do whatever is needed to make us right with Him so that we can be the beneficiaries of His goodness. Some might think that GOD is blinded by love. Yes, He is because love takes no records of wrong. Since GOD is love, His love is blinded to our sins, and for us, He can sacrifice 100% of Himself without consideration for Himself. For love, Jesus could, as in the Epistle of Philippians: Existing in the form of God did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to death— even death on a cross. For love, Jesus bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things. The main difference between GOD's love and a man's love is that one comes out of selflessness and the other out of selfishness. A man cannot sacrifice himself because, by nature, he is selfish. This nature is not a biased opinion but a biblical fact. The Bible has other terms to describe our selfishness: selfish ambition, vain, conceit, lovers of selves, self-seeking, pleasing ourselves, seeking our good, etc. His love is self-seeking for the enlargement of his ego, for his egoistic carnal ambitions. Hence, a man's love is not pure but tinted with motives, schemes and deceits. To elaborate, if a man loves a woman because she is an angel, talented or beautiful, his love is laced with motives. No matter how noble it might sound, it is filled with 'I love you because'. It is not a love of 'I love you regardless'. One day, a person might outlive their appealing attributes, and the reason for love will no longer exist. Then what happens? Love is liken to having wings, and it will fly away. Time will reveal the foundation of a man's love. Is it as solid as a rock, or is it as shifting as the sand?  GOD's love is unchanging with time and is unconditional in what may happen. Nothing can change His love. The Epistle of John writes, "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life". The phrase 'GOD so loved the world' that John uses is unprecedented because GOD does not approve or accept the world. The people of the world, according to the Apostle Paul, are people of the flesh who are hostile to God. They do not submit to God's law, nor can they do so. Those of the flesh cannot please God. In the Epistle of 1 John writes, "Do not love the world nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him". The message is clear - despite His opinion of the world, He refrains from judgment and loves the world without prejudice and discrimination. Even if we are the vilest of sinners, His love will still cover us. No one will be ostracized from His love, and His arms are always open to everyone. That is how deep and how wide the love of GOD is. GOD's love is indeed magnanimous. It is a haven for all sinners, where GOD's judgement has to stay outside and where sinners find solace. In His love, there is no condemnation and where sins can hold nothing against us. His love becomes our source of comfort, strength and hope. No doubt, in His love is where everyone wants to dwell. Therefore, it is a topic that is well-preached and sung about. However, unbeknown to many, no matter how great GOD's love is, His love is not above His law. And no matter how much GOD loves us, He cannot allow us eternal life without complying with His law. The law states that eternal life only comes through Jesus Christ, and only those who believe in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. The Apostle John could have stated, 'For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son so that everyone shall not perish but have eternal life', and that would be so sweet. But he did not. That is to say, GOD's love is unconditional, but eternal life is conditional. Think about it: Metaphorically, could GOD allow the hand of His love to slap the face of His law? That will be foolish of Him. No matter how much GOD loves us, He does not allow us to trespass against His law. In other words, He does not allow us to sin against Him. Therefore, His love is not above His law. However, many have misconstrued GOD's love to supersede His law, quoting from the Apostle Paul that we are no longer under law but under grace. That is picking words out of context. The Apostle Paul did not suggest that grace had replaced the law. He only meant that when we believe in Christ, our master is no longer sin but Christ. Therefore, we are no longer slaves to sin but to righteousness. When we no longer sin, we are no longer under the law, and the law has nothing against us. We can understand it in this way: if we do not contravene any legislation, the government will not come after us. We will not be under any sentence of imprisonment, a fine, or other sanctions and are free to do whatever we want. In biblical terms, when we are not under the law, we are under grace. We are only under grace if we do not sin. We must remember that nothing is above the law, not even GOD's love. Therefore, we should not go overboard when anyone tells us that GOD is madly in love with us. It does not mean anything, as it is not an open door to eternal life, and it does not give us a license to sin. If GOD's love is not a ticket to eternal life, then what is its purpose in the architecture of humanity? Though GOD's love cannot directly give us what we want, it can pave the way there. As an analogy, GOD's love is like a mother's love, nurturing a child for greatness. Though a mother cannot bestow greatness on her child, she can nurture the greatest within him so that he can be great by his own merits. GOD's love will nurture us from sinners to saints, so by our merits, we will enter heaven. We will be able to stand tall among angels because we do not enter, figuratively, by the back door. In this journey to sinning no more, GOD promises that He will not leave us nor forsake us. He will be our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. No matter how many times we fall because of our weakness, like the Apostle Peter, GOD will be there to pick us up because His love will never fail. Like in the Apostle Paul, GOD's strength is made perfect in his weakness. He will be ours, too. GOD's love is not based on merits. Anyone is qualified for it. Therefore, no matter where we are in our relationship with Him, He will accept us as who we are. Even if we are the vilest sinners or non-Christians, GOD has no issue with that. He wants to give to us and not take from us for His purpose. Therefore, there are no criteria, conditions, or baselines except that we wish for His love. For the fallen world, He is willing to sacrifice the most precious of heaven, Jesus Christ, in suffering for its redemption so that heaven's gate is open for all who wish to enter. However, eternal life is not as simple as Apostle John put it simplistically - everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. What should we believe in Him, then? That He is the Son of GOD? Even the demons, Legion, knew that. Yet, it got them nowhere except to be cast into the pigs. We need to believe more than that. We need to believe every word of Jesus. If we say we believe, then we must do accordingly. If not, we are as good as non-believers. In GOD's context, knowing His Word is not enough, as we must be doers of His Word. When we believe in Jesus, we must be doers of His Word. Only when we do that will we not perish but have eternal life. Well, this is easier said than done. Many might be unaware that to be a doer of His Word is to sin no more. However, expecting a sinner to 'sin no more' is more challenging than for a drug addict to be drug-free. David wrote, "Surely I was brought forth in iniquity; I was sinful when my mother conceived me."  That means we are born in a state of sin, and we have been doing wrong since birth. Hence, to 'sin no more', we need to do more than change the habit of sinning; we need to eradicate the DNA of our sinful nature. If not, we are clean on the outside, while on the inside, we are still unclean.  We need a spiritual transformation of our inmost being. Without this, we will never be free from our sinful nature. That is when GOD's love comes with care, support and guidance, seeing us through our transformation of dying to our sinful selves and being empowered by Him in obedience. His love will surround us like a tiger mother, coaching us to stand against our enemy, the devil, who prowls around like a roaring lion waiting to devour us. GOD will discipline us to be fierce warriors against the devil's schemes and chastise us in our areas of weakness so that the devil will not have a foothold in us. We should not underestimate the devil as he can cause the downfall of any man and create havoc in anyone's life. Looking at the destruction he did to Job, we should be wary of him. As described in the Book of Ezekiel, the devil is the seal of perfection, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty. We are no match for him. If GOD is not with us, disciplining and chastening us to obedience, many would not be able to elude the devil's perfect temptation, causing us to sin. We will fall like Adam and Eve without any resistance.  The Epistle of Hebrews writes, "No discipline seems enjoyable at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it yields a harvest of righteousness and peace to those who have been trained by it. Therefore strengthen your limp hands and weak knees. Make straight paths for your feet, so that the lame may not be disabled, but rather healed." GOD loves us, and He has our best interests at heart. Through discipline, our limp hands and weak knees will be strengthened so we will not fall into sin away from GOD. Consequently, we will overcome sin and not perish but have eternal life.

You are not what you think but the spirit that controls you Ephesians 6:12 'For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this world's darkness, and the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.' To a layperson, this statement might sound too bizarre and far-fetched, as if we were walking through the Star Wars movie studio pretending to be Jedi to battle against Darth Sidious, the Dark Lord of the Sith. It is like we are in a world of make-believe where the spiritual forces of darkness in the heavenly realms are warring against us. In other words, we are attacked by alien invisible forces that are not flesh and blood like us. True, our real enemy is something we cannot see. If we are struggling with what we can see, then we are fighting a fake enemy. Most of us might be wondering, since we cannot astral travel, where our consciousness leaves our bodies, and how to fight a spiritual battle against the dark forces, the equivalent of Darth Sidious. The only evil forces we experience are from the people around us, the ones residing in our homes, offices, churches, or circles of friends, holding invisible knives and daggers, stabbing us with unkind words, deeds and intentions, and leaving us broken, wounded and in pain. With that experience, we can proceed to the next level of understanding. Our struggles are with no one else but with ourselves and the people around us who are no aliens to us, the flesh and blood with whom we are in daily contact. The thoughts and deeds are not of GOD's. The unloving, ungiving and non-sacrificing nature that takes, steals, kills and destroys. It is our source of unhappiness, and because of it, we suffer. Even though this is an indisputable fact, according to Paul, the people are not the culprits. Just as Jesus rebuked Peter and said, "Get behind Me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to Me. For you do not have in mind the things of God, but the things of men." Peter is not the culprit in obstructing Jesus from fulfilling his Father's will to bring salvation for all by dying on the cross. The culprit is the force behind Peter's thoughts. Peter was utterly unaware that, at that moment, he became Satan's tool to become Jesus's stumbling block. How could it be possible for Satan to use Peter as his mouthpiece? Peter spoke to Jesus as the Serpent spoke to Eve, being Satan's voice. What happened at that moment for Peter to utter words of concern and care that were, in fact, words against the will of GOD that Jesus had to rebuke him as Satan? For that, we have to look at Peter's heart. We must understand that Peter had every intention for Jesus to reign as the king of the Jews rather than to suffer and be killed at the hands of the elders, chief priests and scribes. When Jesus called Peter to be his disciple, He promised Peter that he would become a fisher of men instead of a fisherman. If Jesus were to die, the implication is Peter would have to return to being a fisherman and not become a fisher of men. That happened precisely after Jesus's death. His three-year effort of following Jesus around would have been a waste of time. In other words, Peter had self-interest or a personal agenda at heart when he said those words. Even if he did not want Jesus to die because of his love, that is considered a personal agenda. His self-centred agenda becomes an open door to evil influences and the devil's foothold. Is it biblical for Satan to have a foothold in us? Yes, it is biblical because of our fallen nature, and Satan has a legal right over us. Therefore, we are programmed to think evil and do evil. Hence, we do not need to be disciplined to do evil but to do good. According to biblical records, Satan did not come with a whip to get us to do evil. Instead, GOD has to whip us to do good. With that, we can see that we are born with Satan's DNA within us. To cut a long story short, to save us, GOD ended up whipping Himself for our sins. Therefore, in the New Testament, GOD no longer holds the whip but His love to lead us to repentance. To put it another way, GOD whips Himself for every sin we commit. Thus, those who believe in His love shall not perish but have eternal life. As long as we are self-centred and unrepentant, the nature of our flesh, Satan, has a foothold in us through our fallen nature. Satan can speak through us as if it is our intention. When Jesus rebuked Peter, He was rebuking Satan, the mastermind behind Peter. From this encounter, we can conclude that we are nothing more than vessels. We are what fills us. If we are not convinced, we can look at another incident that happened to Peter. When Jesus asked His disciples, "Who do you say I am?" Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." Jesus replied, "Blessed are you, Simon, son of Jonah! For this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood but by My Father in heaven. This time, Jesus did not rebuke Peter. Instead, He complimented him for saying the right thing. Jesus used the words flesh and blood as Paul did, indicating that the information is not of human origin. It is not a rumour that Peter heard but a spiritual revelation that Peter perceived from no one else but the Father in heaven. In other words, it is a spiritual enlightenment when a person is filled with the Spirit to understand spiritual matters. This encounter is not limited to Peter, but it happened to many people in the Bible, like Bazalel, Elizabeth, Stephen, Barnabas, David, Ezekiel, and the list goes on. From Peter's two spiritual encounters, one with Satan and the other with the Father, we can deduce that a man is only a vessel, and he is what he is filled with, either good or evil. What fills him will be the voice he hears, good or evil. And what fills him will depend on what is in his heart. When he lives for himself, he has eyes only for himself, and is self-centred, then he is filled with the fallen nature. If he lives for GOD and others, has eyes for people in need, and is GOD and people-oriented, then his heart is filled with the Spirit of GOD. Hence, whoever he listens to will be his master. Hence, whatever we think is not our own. It is from whom we allow to fill our hearts. Unless we can change a person's heart, we cannot change his mind. His mind is controlled by what fills his heart. Paul understood, beyond what meets the eye, the relationship between our hearts and the spirits that control our minds. Therefore, he said, 'For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this world's darkness, and the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.' It is not without reason that GOD always talks about the heart more than the mind of a man. He referred to David as a man after His heart and not a man after His mind. Once our heart is right with GOD, then our mind will think within the framework of GOD. Another excellent example of understanding how the heart affects the outcome of the mind is in the story of Nebuchadnezzar. GOD made Nebuchadnezzar great for His purpose, and his greatness was like a tree large and strong, whose top reached the sky and was visible to all the earth, whose foliage was beautiful and whose fruit was abundant, providing food for all, under which the beasts of the field lived, and in whose branches the birds of the air nested. One day, he was walking on the roof of the royal palace of Babylon, and he exclaimed, "Is this not Babylon the Great, which I myself have built by the might of my power as a royal residence and for the glory of my majesty?" When his heart was filled with pride in himself and his greatness, GOD struck him down with madness. He was driven away from mankind. He ate grass like an ox, and his body was drenched with the dew of heaven until his hair grew like the feathers of an eagle and his nails like the claws of a bird. Only after seven years did GOD restore his sanity, and He praised and exalted and glorified GOD as the king of heaven, for all His works are true and all His ways are just. The moral of Nebuchadnezzar's story is that the heart determines our future more than our efforts. When Nebuchadnezzar's heart was filled with himself, God flipped his mind like a pancake. One moment, he was sane, and another moment, he became insane. Only when God felt that Nebuchadnezzar was humbled enough did God flip his mind back. In other words, our mind is nothing more than a marionette where the puppeteer controls every movement of the puppet with strings. The puppet is not free to do as it wishes, but according to the puppeteer that controls it. Likewise, our mind is not free to think as we want to but according to whom fills our hearts. In computer terminology, a man is only the hardware, and the software that helps him to think and operate comes from the spiritual realm. In the book of Proverbs, Solomon wrote, 'Guard your heart with all diligence, for from it flow springs of life.' Why the heart and not our mind? Solomon understood that when he gave his heart to GOD, GOD gave him a perfect mind filled with wisdom and understanding. Once his heart turned away from GOD, his wisdom and understanding were lacking to preserve his kingdom. Only GOD holds the key to the springs of life, and the secret passage to them is the heart. The mind can think as many dreams as it wants, but it will only be wishful thinking. Therefore, if we want to have the blessings of heaven, we must have a heart for GOD. It is more than going through the ritual of going to church, giving tithes and offerings or doing charities. It is to put GOD as the centre of our life and let our world revolve around Him. Filling our hearts with the love for GOD and not with the desires of our fallen nature is the key to success in life. It is only through the guidance of GOD that we find life. If we follow the advice of our fallen nature, we will find death because life is only in the hands of GOD. Therefore, if we are not of GOD, whatever we do is a waste of time because there can only be one outcome - death. In other words, we will make lousy decisions despite our best efforts because we are ill-advised. Anything not under GOD's counsel is not under His will. Epistle 1 John writes, 'And this is the confidence that we have before Him: If we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we already possess what we have asked of Him.' To understand this statement from the opposite perspective, if we do not ask according to His will, He does not hear us. Therefore, those who go to church to pray for nothing else but themselves are praying in vain because they are not asking according to GOD's will. They are nothing more than mouthpieces of Satan, praying for the desires of their fallen nature, which are evil. GOD will not listen to them. GOD wants us to worship Him in Spirit and truth, meaning the Holy Spirit must anoint our thoughts, teaching us to pray. Our prayers will align with GOD's will, and He will be pleased to listen to us. Whatever we do, we will not contravene the first and second greatest commandments, which are to love God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind and to love your neighbour as yourself. Only if we live a self-centred life will we contradict a god-centred life. When we live for GOD and others, we have to sacrifice our self-centred lives for them because we cannot put our interests and GOD first at the same time. There can be only one first. We must choose one over the other. Therefore, we must rightly select what should be within us: the Spirit of Life or the spirit of death. Prayer: Thank you for enlightening my mind with Your words. Continue to teach me Your truth so that I may walk in it and find life. Protect me from the deceits of my enemies, who come as wolves in sheep's clothing. Continue to renew my mind with the truth so that I can be transformed into your image. Amen.

The purpose of science in GOD's plan John 1:3 Through Him, all things were made, and without Him, nothing was made that has been made. Science removes our need for GOD. Science dispels faith and the need for GOD. Many of the life's answers can be answered by science. Hence, no one needs to run into a church for healing if they can walk into a hospital. No farmer needs to pray for an abundant harvest when they have agricultural science behind them, ensuring many of their problems can be resolved through science. Therefore, no one needs to go to GOD in prayer for every trivial matter. In other words, GOD outsources man's reliance on Him to Science. Hence, a man does not need to waste his time early in the morning praying for his sheep, goats, cows, donkeys, and a long list of mundane things but to pray for things of eternal value. GOD, through science, answered man's prayers before he even asked. Via the Internet, any problem can be answered immediately. All we have to do is ask the most knowledgeable person, AI ( artificial intelligence), and the next thing we know, voila, we get a perfect answer. Science allows us to solve things ourselves before we approach GOD. Even if we ask God, we might not get a fast answer. Therefore, science, in terms of technology, plays a more significant role in a person's life than GOD. Supremacy of GOD over science Proverbs 25:2 It is the glory of God to conceal a matter and the glory of kings to search it out. If science dispels faith and the need for God, then what is God's purpose for science? GOD is a jealous GOD, and He will not allow anything to stand higher than Him, not Satan and not even science, replacing His importance. He is the creator of all things, and He will not create anything that diminishes His supremacy. He planned the beginning from the end and knew the cause and effect of everything so nothing would catch Him by surprise. When GOD said, "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so My ways are higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts", He means He is supreme beyond our understanding. He is much better and knows much more than we do. Science is merely a search engine that searches for what GOD has concealed. Since science discovers the mysteries of the universe that GOD has, it implies science is not above GOD and will not supersede Him because the master behind science is GOD. Science's failure to find GOD. Mark 4:12 They may be ever seeing but never perceiving, and ever hearing but never understanding. Science often messes up our heads regarding GOD. What science cannot establish does not mean it does not exist. Science establishes itself through facts and figures, while GOD is through faith. If we use facts and figures to measure GOD, we will not be able to find Him because we are using the wrong parameters. It is similar to using a thermometer to measure the volume of water. We cannot use physical means to measure spiritual matters because GOD can only be spiritually discerned. Since science has yet to develop a spiritual detector, it fails to find GOD. To see Him, we need faith to connect with Him and know His existence. Without faith, we are spiritually dead and can never find Him. Science is like an atheist, lacking in spiritual dimension; it is spiritually dead and, metaphorically speaking, has no wifi connection to GOD. They are 'ever seeing but never perceiving, and ever hearing but never understanding.' Only spiritually alive people have spiritual detectors to see and hear from GOD. Hence, science, figuratively speaking, cannot hear and see from GOD. GOD, beyond science but within the Bible John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. What science cannot do, but we can. By reading the Bible, we can discover GOD. He presents Himself in the complexity of His Word, the Bible through events, stories and parables. To find Him, we cannot read the Bible at face value as if reading a novel. The Word needs to come alive by the anointing of the Holy Spirit to make GOD alive. Then, we can piece Him together. If not, we will be like the six blind men from ancient Indian folklore of the blind men and an elephant. Each blind man who had never seen an elephant tried to imagine what the elephant was like by touching it. Each blind man feels a different part of the animal's body, but only one part. They then describe the animal based on the portion they touched. The first man who touched his leg said the elephant was like a pillar. The second man who touched his tail said the elephant was like a rope. The third man who touched his trunk said the elephant was like a tree branch. The fourth man who touched the ear said the elephant was like a fan. The fifth man who touched the belly said the elephant was a wall. The sixth man who touched the tusk said the elephant was like a solid pipe. The importance of knowing the whole picture The descriptions of the same elephant differ from one another, each insisting he was right. All of them were right in parts, but none of them got the whole picture right. Therefore, none of them know what an elephant is. It was no fault of their own as they were blind. We are not blind, but GOD is like the elephant, too big to see within our range of vision. Our eyes limit us. Therefore, our minds cannot conceptualize Him. To know GOD with our restricted vision, we need to piece the fragments of GOD together with the borrowed eye of the Holy Spirit to see through the Bible, to see what we cannot. Like a puzzle, we need to put all the parts together to understand the totality of GOD. If not, it is as good as holding a piece of the puzzle, thinking we know GOD through it. Thus, if anyone were to tell us something different from what we know, do not label them as false prophets. Instead, be humble and pray for GOD to open our eyes and expand our minds so that we can see beyond what we can. Science does not point us to GOD. Romans 8:13 For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. Spiritual blindness robs us of knowing GOD. Science has no spiritual radar. It is spiritually blind and cannot see GOD. Therefore, science cannot discover GOD and point us to Him. What science cannot do, the Bible can. The reason for our spiritual blindness is our carnal nature, the flesh. If we cannot master our evil nature, we are confirmed blind. Our evil nature turns us away from GOD, so we cannot see Him. If we are not totally blind, we can be partially blind because of our spiritual limitation, which comes from the lack of anointing of the Holy Spirit. The Bible is like the elephant in ancient Indian folklore, and we are like the blind men. When we read through the Bible, we touch the different facets of God. However, we are partially blind towards Him because we are stiff-headed in our opinion, not accepting all that is written in the Bible, wearing blinkers, and, like the blind men, refusing to look from other angles. Mental blind spot syndrome In other words, we have mental blind spots that lead to spiritual blindness, which science cannot help. The reason is many perceive God from their favourite perspective by accepting what suits our sinful nature, creating a lopsided view of GOD. Preachers like to speak on messages of forgiveness of sin but not on stopping sin, and blessings but not curses because that is what many want to hear. We become like small children; they pick what they like to eat, and we choose what we want to hear, which is unhealthy. Therefore, like the six blind men's ideas of an elephant, we create our idea of GOD. He becomes an alien, not who He is, but what we formulate Him to be. Scientific discoveries are from GOD. God said, "Now, if any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him" He understood that many mysteries of things are beyond our understanding and scientific investigation. In other words, by default, we lack wisdom and understanding. However, when a solution is critically needed, those who seek Him, regardless of believers or unbelievers, will be satisfied. When we ask, He will answer. The advancement in science is that many who ask GOD tough questions get solid solutions. He will not find fault with anyone who asks, even if he is not with His. Therefore, it is GOD, through science, who created the miracles, not science, through the ingenuity of men. Hence, the solutions that science provides are nothing more than ideas from GOD. Everything revolves around GOD, including science. Science liberates us time to know GOD. Science improves life and liberates many of the inconveniences of living, providing solutions to many earthly problems. God wants us to be more like Mary and not like Martha, who was weighed down with the daily chores and worried over many things. GOD does not want us to be busy with unnecessary things, so we have more time for Him. He wants us to concentrate on one crucial thing: spending more time learning His Word and developing a closer relationship with Him. The purpose is for us to prepare for our eternality. Without enough spiritual knowledge, we cannot grasp the different aspects of God, making Him contradictory and lacking in consistency. If we want to know God, we need to seek Him with all of our hearts by understanding His Word. Only when we have spiritual understanding will we have the tools to decode the mysteries written in the Word and not be misguided by our ignorance. If not, we are like a computer lacking the required language to understand spiritual matters. Knowing the Bible is not knowing how to read all the words in it but understanding what is being said in between the lines. Science reduces our transactional relationship with GOD. When there is a problem, there is a need, and that is when a man needs GOD. If a man is happy and has what he wants, he is contented with life and has no problems. He does not need GOD. That is the reality: a man only seeks God when he is in need. Once his problems are over, he may forget about Him. This transactional relationship with God, akin to a marriage of convenience where the focus is on 'What can I get out of it?' is dangerous. When the need is over, the relationship is over. A relationship based on needs is a one-sided relationship with much to be needed. The person in need puts himself in a disadvantaged position in the relationship where he is always not measuring up. If we worship GOD, it is out of motive and not out of love. GOD's love for us is pure, without motives. Therefore, He does not want to dangle carrots in front of us for love. He does not want us to be like a bird in a cage but a bird free to soar the sky. If we love Him, we will fly back to Him voluntarily, without compulsion but of love. Science reduces the problems of life and our reliance on GOD. That releases us from a relationship out of need but out of choice. If anyone were to choose Him, it would not be out of benefits but because they want to. Science becomes a good test of a man's heart towards God. Science frees man from many mundane problems and frees us from the need for GOD. So if the Son sets us free, we will be free indeed, even of Him. Through science, GOD created a better and more exciting world for us that is independent of Him. The question remains: Do we still want Him who is against our fallen nature or move on to one who is accommodating to our fallen selves? Time and advancements in science have revealed the answer. In Europe, many churches of the early Christians are left empty and are converted for drinking, dancing, and other purposes other than a place of worship. There are more people in the pub than in a church, showing that Christianity has lost its favour and popularity. In other words, men have left their faith because they have found something better. Once GOD has outlived His usefulness, they dump Him. Conclusion: The limitation of science Science can have its benefits, but it is not above God. No matter how excellent science is, it can only clean the outside of the cup and not the inside. What is of eternal value is to clean the cup on the inside, which science cannot do. No matter what science can do for us to liberate us from the need for God, we should not let go of Him. Our lives are more than what we have on earth. Improvement, progress and advancement are only temporary. What we have with GOD is eternal. Prayer: God, thank you for the comfort and convenience that science and technology bring. Continue to open my eyes and expand my mind to know You better. Let Your Word wash the inside of my cup, and let me not be contented with science that cleans on the outside. Science is only Your servant. Let me not be contented with Your servant and miss out on You, the Master
