nect with the latest news and

updates among the Bru people

in other cities and regions.
In the nutshell, it is our efforts
to encourage and help each
other grow as God fearing
youth, with deeper under-
standing on the Scriptures and
Biblical doctrines, a spiritual
guidance to excel both in our
studies and spirituality, and be
a good man and woman of God
for every good work back to
our society. I hope this news-
letter will bless one and all.

Folks,
Greetings to you all in the
name of our Lord and Savior
Jesus Christ. Thanks and
praise be to God always be-
cause of the grace of God
that was given to all of us in
and through Christ Jesus.
On behalf of the Bru Chris-
tian Fellowships (BCF),
Bangalore and Shillong in
particular, it is my immense
pleasure to introduce the
BRU CHRISTIAN CON-
NECTS newsletter. It is by
the grace of our Almighty
God that we could put all
our efforts and publish this
first newsletter. We see and
acknowledge the divine
plans and hands in this pro-
ject. I personally believe and
urge all members of BCFs to
realize that it is just the
dawn of this project. We
have put much efforts in this
and still needs much more to
make this project possible. I
hope and pray that this
newsletter in big and small
ways will connect us and
bless us to grow stronger in
Christ.
This projects missional ob-
jective is to reach the youths
especially the Bru students
in informing with biblical
truths, Discipleship and
building Christ-like charac-
ters in our personal lives and
also to help each other con-
Editorial: To Become Man and Woman of God For Every Good Work
WHY CHRISTIANITY & CHURCH? WORST HYPOCRITES ARE IN THERE!
- Ajay Msha, M. Th (BCF, Bangalore)
In recent times, I met a
friend whom I grew up in a
Christian school over a
decage ago. I asked him,
You and I know that Jesus is
the Savior, why dont you
turn to a Christian life and
join a church? He answered,
Yes, I think of it many times
over this worldly life, I wish
to become a Christian but I
hate your pastor to join the
church. None within his
neighbors around here like his
attitudes. Ah, not until this
pastor goes or another Church
comes in! It is not the prob-
lem outside the church alone,
but also on the inside as well.
One major excuse that
people use in their refusal to
embrace Christianity or go-
ing to church services con-
cerns hypocrites in the
Church, both past and pre-
sent. People like to point to
past misdeeds done in the
name of Christ, and the pre-
sent crisis in the life of be-
lievers or church leaders.
This is one of the reasons
why we have people reject-
ing our Church!
Then, there are the pre-
sent-day examples of
preachers, deacons, or
church leaders who have
been caught in alcoholism,
adulterous relationships, or
some other inconsistency with
what they say they believe.
This type of behavior has led
many to say, If thats what
Christianity is all about, then
I dont want any part of it. It
must be admitted that there
has been hypocrisy in the
Church, and today we are not
exempt from people who are
hypocritical. A hypocrite is an
actor, one who puts on a false
face. He says one thing but
does another.
It is time for Christian to
really live a holy life and be
Christ-like, and becomes the
light in the darkness.

We, as individual and
Church, have turn cold to-
wards sins in our talks and
conversation, in our preach-
ing and teaching as well. Is
it because we do not want to
hurt peoples feelings?
Whatever may be the rea-
sons, as the results of such,
turn many Christians into a
brood of sinners. How dis-
tant we turn away from God
and Godliness the Holi-
ness.
God says, You shall be
Holy, For I the Lord Your
God Am Holy (Lev. 19:2; 1
Pet. 1: 15-16). God de-
mand holiness of us. We
know that God is holy.
Holiness is the divine at-
tribute of God. How can it
be that the God we wor-
ship is holy, and we those
who worship Him are so
distant from a life of holi-
ness? Look at our society
and even church today,
that has been so actual
and active in broken mar-
riages, abortions, pre-
marital sex, move-in and
live-in relationships,
worldliness, crimes and
abuse, drugs and alcoholic
addictions, gambling, to name
so few. The young people do
not even see them as unholy.
How have we lost?
Folks, holiness should be our
chief pursuit, not those sinful
happiness. Let us flee from
those ungodliness (1 Tim. 6: 11-
12; 1 Cor. 6:18-20). Unless we
seek a life of holiness, God can-
not use us. We must be a clean
vessel for God to use us. Or do
you say it does not matter even
if youre not used by God? You
say so you can continue unholy
life No, No! You cannot be a
true Christian without actually
living a holy life.

only to qualify as nominal
Christians shy away from
the church-going and other
Christian or church activi-
ties, including personal de-
votions. But deep inside,
there was a vacuum that
knocked my heart to think
of the life I was living but
that was followed by my
own escapable excuses to
make it anyway better to
support my thought. Life
without Jesus welcomes all
sorts of problems personally
as well as in familial rela-
Hello! I am Momita Reang.
I am here to say few words
on how God saved me and
transform my life.
Ignorant about the saving
knowledge of Christ, I was a
girl who lived with the
worldly stuffs, pursuing
what the world can offer at
best for my enjoyments. I
lived a miserable unforgivea-
ble life. In 2010, I took bap-
tism on excitements to join
my friends those who were
taking water-baptisms, but
tionships. Being eldest in the
family, I have a deeper ten-
sions and responsibilities
over my parents and sib-
lings.
My parents were not living
an exemplary life either for
usalways quarrels and
fights and we children suf-
fers the outcome of their
issues. I had an affair with a
non-Christian guy, against
my parents will for which I
was stranded and was totally
knock-out of home by my
parents.

character. God wants us all
to be happy, but true happi-
ness comes and begins with a
life of holiness.
Folks, have you ever
thought of personal holi-
ness? No one is perfect, but
we must be perfecting our
walk with Christ always. Is
there anything unholy in
your lifestyle that is drifting
you away from God? Invite
God and be clean today (Ps.
139). God bless you!
In Gods
Kingdom,
Holiness is not
a Luxury but a
Necessity

You are not on your own, and
youre bought with a price.
Therefore honor God with
your bodies (1 Tim. 6:17-18).
Your body is the temple of the
Living God. If anyone destroy
Gods temple, God will destroy
them (1 Cor. 3: 16-18).
Watch out Folks, temporal
happiness, and not holiness is
the chief pursuit of many peo-
ple today, even in the Church.
Many wants Jesus to solve
their problems and carry their
burdens but does not allow
God to control their lives and
change their

Those situations haunted me
and made me develop many
suicidal attitudes. However,
my uncle supports my studies
for which I need to cook and
look after his children. But in
all of these, God is at work.
On one Sunday, March 2014 I
went to Trinity Worship Cen-
tre, Agartala. Aftermath the
sermon preached at the
church, I felt a touch of the
Spirit in my heart with the
double-edge sword of His
Word, and I wept bitterly for
transformation and revival.

that to call oneself a Christian is
to admit to being a sinner (I
John 1:52:2). All believers,
including the Church leaders,
are fallible human beings who
are prone to all types of sin. Just
because a person is not perfect
does not mean that he is a pho-
ny. The distinction between the
two is important. The failures of
the believers do not invalidate
the truth
People can and do enter the
ministry for the wrong reasons,
or they can compromise the
convictions of the faith. When
However, just because the
Church contains hypocrites does
not mean that all Christians are
hypocrites. With every example
of hypocrisy that can be pointed
to in the Church, a counter ex-
ample can be pointed out show-
ing people who are living con-
sistently with the teaching of
Jesus Christ.
It is important not to confuse
hypocrisy with sin. All Chris-
tians are sinners, but not all
Christians are hypocrites. There
is a misconception that a Chris-
tian is a person who claims that
he does not sin, but the truth is
people do this they are wrong,
and the Bible denounces this
clearly (Matt. 23:15). Christi-
anity does not stand or fall on
the way Christians have acted
throughout history or are act-
ing today. Christianity stands
on the person of Jesus, and
Jesus was not a hypocrite. He
lived consistently with what
He taught, and at the end of
His life He challenged those
who had lived with Him night
and day, for over three years,
to point out any hypocrisy in
Him. Since Christianity de-
pends on Jesus, it is incorrect

to try to invalidate the
Christian faith by pointing to
horrible things done in the
name of Christianity. The non
-believer cannot be excused
from believing just because it
is possible to point to those
who simply pretend to be
what they are not. Hypocriti-

terrible effects hypocrisy has.

PRAYER-POINTS
That night I surrendered my
life completely to Jesus and
accept Jesus as my Lord and
Savior. Week later, Pastor
Johnson Kalai invited me for
the Youth Retreat with Sunny
Mawlong (Shillong) which fur-
ther strengthen my new faith
in Christ.
There on, I began to grow in
love with Christ, and joined as
the member of the Trinity
Worship Centre. More on, Dis-
cipleship School of Ministry
held at Mt. Zion, Teliamura
with Brother Simon Day
(England), New Life Ministry
(Shillong) and Judahbethel
further made me grow deeper
in the Word of God and
the work of the Spirit.
Soon, the Spirit enables
me to be strong enough to
leave the worldly life and
even move on from my
ungodly affair with non-
Christian guy, whom I
was so in-loved with.
Few weeks back, I got
seriously sick and to my
surprise, my parents came
to see me. How God
works his way out and
answers my prayers were
all amazing. My parents
after years accepted me
back and I got back their
love.
PERSONAL TESTIMONY (Cont)
Even for one of my shoot-
ings in an local video album,
I was asked to complete the
shooting on Sunday, which
I plainly denied but they
could not re-scheduled. On
Saturday night I prayed to
God to somehow help me go
to the church, and he an-
swered my prayer by mak-
ing the camera-man go for
some other emergency pro-
ject. This is how I am expe-
riencing the work of God.
Today, I realize everything
happens for reason. God can
use all our sufferings for His
plan to work out.
He is my first priority in
everything. I am presently
a worship leader at Trinity
Worship Centre. Being a
blessings for people, I am
really happy and Peace is
within me. He has forgiven
me, restores me and chosen
me. Now I am ready to serve
God as He had planned for
me. I made a commitment
to do His will. Psalm 91 is
my favorite Bible passage.
Please keep me and my fam-
ily in your prayers!
Thank you so much for talk-
ing time to read what God
has done in my life. God
bless you! Amen!
