Stewarding the creation of God [Being Indian and Christian - Issue #4]

Hi friends,

Welcome to the fourth edition of Being Indian and Christian.

A few months ago, during the Easter holidays this year, our family (mum, dad, brother, sister-in-law and I) could go on a holiday to Coorg. Known as the Scotland of South India, Coorg is a breathtakingly beautiful place. I’m sure the trip is going to be a fond memory of mine for many years to come. Although we did plan and visit a few places, the best part was just living for those few days completely surrounded by nature.

The world in which we live is an exceptionally beautiful place! And God created it for us to enjoy it and take care of it. How faithfully do we carry out our calling? That’s the question I want to ponder on this week.

Here’s what I want to share this week:

That’s it for this edition, folks! Hope you have a wonderful week ahead!
