Church – Delhi

Delhi Bible Fellowship is sure a great place to worship in the capital. Was attending an early morning service this past Sunday. The message was great. The sermon did stir me to write an article, here is the link if you want to read. I sincerely hope there are more evangelical churches that stress on the Word of God than just mundane liturgies and ceremonies.
I was born in an Orthodox Christian family, converted (influence of mom) to Protestant Pentecostal denomination, wandered among cults and meandered among non-denominations, finally the end of the road was with my current evangelical church. With all my Christian experience I can tell you, quit the Church that gives no emphasis to the Word of God.
I look at the Christian world and I see the war between denominations getting more and more murky. Every one of them claims to be the ‘true’ church. Church A is too much into music, Church B is into only prayer, Church C is into prophesy, Church D is into just liturgies, Church E into reading Hebrew and Greek text, oh please give me the liberty to name Church E, I just cant keep it unexposed…hehe…am talking about the Syrian Orthodox Church where my young days were spent. It was where my spiritual side took a form
I used to go every Sunday, to enjoy the smell and sight of incense burning in a censer, and later the priest reading Hebrew texts, which for sure only he understood
That’s tradition you see, no scoffing. Hehe, I could get bashed for such satirical statement
So let me at least give credit to that Church for their catechism classes that sure sparked an interest for God in my life
Now where was I? Oh! yea the kind of church you should attend. I am not recommending any denomination here. Just goading you to attend a church that preaches the Word of God as it is without distorting. After all “in the beginning was the Word…..and the Word was God”. God speaks through many ways, but of them all paramount is Him manifesting through the Scriptures. There was a time I used to go crazy about getting exhortations from pastors on every thing in life. Have you noticed, how sometimes certain fallen shepherds manipulate truth to fit circumstances. You don’t know when you could be a victim of this. So Remember “Psalms 119:105 – Your Word is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my path.” The Word of God “is living and powerful and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing apart of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Heb 4:12″ This is the most profound and elementary truth that we realize very late in our life. You sure will be lucky, if it dint take any effort unlike me who was on a merry-go- round for a longtime. Thanks to my church for getting me out of darkness and leading me to the truth.
If you are based in Delhi and have been seeking for such a church, dont hesitate to hit the contact button. By the way, DBF is organizing bible classes for your non believer friends. Take them along if you want to introduce Christ in their lives. Good luck!
Adios ~
