A leader, correctly understood within the Christian context, is a steward of the followers, co-workers and personnel under his or her care.  Often, that care involves simply being a loving brother or sister in Christ. Unfortunately, instead of loving other people, many leaders often exploit or discourage them. The net result of perverted stewardship and corrupted leadership is a loss for the Kingdom of God.  Many organizations are left without proper successors and young followers often fall away, discouraged and disillusioned.  Many potentially great leaders have become casualties because of the unethical behaviour of senior leaders.  God calls such leaders to repent and to rediscover the true meaning of being a steward-leader. 

We're not talking about the McDonald's slogan "I'm loving it!" but a love for Indian Statistics. Indian statistics is mind blowing in its diversity, numbers, nature, scope and even numbingly shocking in its type of reported cases that can only happen in India. India is going through a mega-shift revolution being catapulted from the pre-modern to the post-modern era with ramifications in all sheres of social, economic, educational, financial, societal and family life.  Dr. JN Manokaran is an expert at this 'numbers game' so read on and discover an India you never knew.

“And do this, understanding the present time.  The hour has come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed.” (Romans 13:11)  Paul exhorts us to wake up from our slumber or sleep. Medical science also provides a lot of insights about sleep.  Rapid Eye Movement sleep is when brain is active, while body is inactive.  This is the normal sleep.  Non–Rapid Eye Movement sleep is when body is active, brain is inactive. In the spiritual life of a Christian it is possible to fall asleep.  Like Jonah we could fall asleep in disobedience. Like Samson, we could loose our spiritual vitality by being in the wrong place with wrong people.  The Lord calls us to awake and be alert.
