This Christian Podcast by the Christian Author George Calleja includes the following:
Reflection: Christian leaders are to nourish their sheep
Just as politicians carry a very big responsibility in society, Christian leaders also have a great role to play. Whatever the denomination of the Christian leader, nourishing and guiding his ‘sheep’ and forming them to be Christ-like in today’s society is for sure not an easy task. Christian leaders are to be role models to the people they are entrusted with, they are to radiate the love of God to them, to form them, to help them recognize the love of Christ in their lives, to make them strong in their faith, to be the voice of God and a light to society.
Such a task carries the same responsibility as that of the Great Commission, when Jesus said to the eleven disciples in Galilee, as narrated by Matthew in 28:18-20: Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
In today’s terminology, or as better understood within the business world, the above statement of Jesus would easily translate as a Mission Statement to Christian leaders as follows: to make disciples, to baptize and to teach in all nations about God’s love. etc . etc.
(This reflection is from my Christian Book: Waking up the Sleeping Giant)

Special Guest Speaker: Richard Ruhling (Author)
Richard gave his life to Christ in high school and planned to be a missionary, but when an opportunity in Tanzania didn't work out the dean encouraged him to take internal medicine and cardiology and return to teach others who would be missionaries.
Bible Study: Hebrews 12:14 Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord.
Reflections:-
Reflect in silence about being in peace.
Are you in peace with everyone?
Do you love all the people you meet with?
Through peace and love, are you being a more holy person?
The Lord Jesus Christ desires and wishes that you be in peace and that you love your neighbor.
By loving and being in peace, through Jesus love, you be a holy person...aim to be a holy person.
God Bless you and take care,

029 - One Way
This Christian Podcast by the Christian Author George Calleja includes the following:
Reflection: One way
There are different ways in life of how one can be fulfilled. In brief, fulfillment can be classified under two ways. These are the worldly fulfillment and God’s fulfillment.
The wordly fulfillment are time-barred. How long would one be fulfilled by buying a new house? How long would one be fulfilled by going on a dream holiday? These would only last few days, maybe some weeks, the most a couple of months. Wordly fulfillment would not last forever, as everything in the world comes to an end.
God’s fulfillment is different. It is not time-barred like what the world offers. God’s fulfillment is eternal. God’s fulfillment can be found by loving your neighbour, by visiting the sick, by treating employees with dignity, by loving your family, by loving your enemy and by other acts of love.
There is only one way for fulfillment... by loving God through your neighbour.

Bible Study: 1 Peter 1:21 - Through him you believe in God, who raised him from the dead and glorified him, and so your faith and hope are in God.
Reflections:
Do you really believe in God?
Is God part of your life in every present moment?
Do you trust God?
Know that God loves you in a personal way and His Son Jesus died for you.
God Bless you and take care,
George Calleja (Christian Author - Podcaster).

031 – We are to start loving every day
This Christian Podcast by the Christian Author George Calleja includes the following:
Reflection: We are to start loving every day
One of the biggest challenges every person faces daily in life is to love. Every day is a new opportunity to love the people around you, to start loving in a new way, to start loving in a fresh way. This is the art of loving.
The love you gave to your neighbour, your family, your work colleague a year ago is in the past. The love you gave a month ago, a week ago, yesterday, a minute ago... is all in the past. What matters most is the love you give in the present moment. Are you loving your neighbour, your family, your work colleagues right now, precisely in this present moment? Do you try to love in a new way every day, even if it is a repetitive act of love?
The way you love your family every day by ironing their clothes on a daily basis could be a repetitive act of love. Or, the way you love your poor neighbour by helping them with their errands could also be a repetitive act of love. But do you do it in a new way every day, forgetting and emptying yourself of the way you loved a month ago, yesterday?
Every day we are to love in a new way. We are to love unconditionally... just as Jesus loves us.
So, the challenge is there for you... to start loving every day in a new way.

Bible Study: Hebrews 13:5-6 Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” So we say with confidence, “The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?”
Reflections:-
Are you happy and glad with what you have?
Do you trust Jesus that he provides for you?
Do you ask God to be your helper?
Are you afraid of your future financial situation?
Are you trusting in Jesus?
God Bless you and take care,
