May 22, 2007 Why did Jesus tell the rich man to sell all his possessions before coming to follow Him? Because Jesus said Most certainly I say to you, a rich man will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven with difficulty. Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through a needle`s eye, than for a rich man to enter into the Kingdom of God. His possessions must not be an obstacle between him and God. That is why, Jesus tells the rich man to sell all his possessions before coming to follow Him.

May 21, 2007 How does hardness of heart lead to divorce? How does one avoid having a hard heart? When the heart does not feel others pain, it becomes hard and love and mercy do not stay there. Hence divorce happens when there is no love in the heart. And the love which we are talking about is pure, mutual love and not lust. A love which disciplines, a love which corrects, a love which is patient, not irritable, a love which is forgiving, ...says 1 Corinthians 13. When this love exists between the man and his wife, then divorce is not at all possible. We can avoid having a hard heart by making ourself humble like a child first. Then try to understand others pain and not complain about our problems in life all the time. Pray for them. Also pray to God for the melting of our hearts towards othersin pain so that we may love them as our God has loved us when we were in pain. Be satisfied with what you have. Forgive, forgive, forgive.
