1 Cor. 1:27

"God deliberately chose things the world considers foolish in order to shame those who think they are wise." (1 Cor. 1:27)

--This verse spoke loud and clear to me today; The caste system is alive, and has the hearts of many people here imprisoned. --

As we sang some worship songs yesterday in Irene's living room, unknown to us, our Bus driver, Kumar, heard us and asked to sit in on it today. He is a Hindu and grew up with his heart chained down by the caste system (I assume he is in one of the lower castes). He just sat and listened while we sang. Afterwards, Ben, our leader, prayed and professed the freedom of knowing Christ. Roshan translated to him. When we finished, Kumar told us that he recognized that Christians are all equal;there is no division among them. That is what stuck out to him, because in Hinduism, one person is considered above another. He shook all our hands and Rosham gave him a Bible to read. Pray for dear Kuman's heart, that he would realize , trust and embrace the saving knowledge of our God.

Psalm 96:
Sing a new song to the Lord!
Let the whole earth sing to the Lord...
Each day proclaim the good news that he saves.
Publish his glorious deeds among the nations...
He is to be revered above all other gods.
The gods of other nations are merely idols,
but the Lord made the heavens...
O nations of the world, recognize the Lord....

This is my prayer for today. May our actions be an example to others of the freedom we have in Christ.
