feminism. The movie 'Minnion' sends a message that 'being
bad is so good.' Let us not forget the fact that all these are
cartoon movies and the intended audience are children.
Many of the entertainments look innocent in the beginning.
But there are lots of hidden messages in the movies that the
devil tries to communicate to the young hearts. Sometimes,
Satan disguises himself as an angel of light (2 Cor 11:14).
REVIVO 2017
So let us be on our guard. There are so many Bible
games and word games which enhance the vocabulary of the
kids. There are so many Biblically themed movies,
missionary biographies available. We can use them instead.
Let us spend much time with children. We can also take our
children to outdoor sports and other activities.
Social media has decreased the distance between sin
and sinner a lot these days. Everything is brought before the
eyes, with just a touch. Children and teenagers are the
victims of this evil. It would be more advisable to use filters
in our mobiles and laptops. You can use parental control
softwares like quostodio and Kaspersky. If you are exposing
your child to the Internet, you should be beside your child.
If you feel that you child is showing signs of
depression, seek spiritual and medical help. Some of the
early signs include sleeplessness, disinterest in the things the
child used to love, staying alone and sudden change in
his/her behaviour.
As the days are getting evil and evil, let us stay 'watch'
so that the enemy cannot sow tares among the wheat. Let us
be an example to our children. Let us mark boundaries in our
home and the way we use Television and Cellphones. Let us
decide to pray and meditate as a family. Let God's name be
glorified in our lives.

Revivo, a three day revival camp for women was held
th
th
in Sitheri hills during August 12 to 14 . 502 women
from 20 districts of Tamil Nadu participated in this
event. The participants were blessed by the
'Reconciliation' themed messages. Many decided to
reconcile with one another and forgive one another.
During the Holy Spirit session, 95% received the
anointing of the Holy Spirit. The practical session
on, 'How to lead a successful family life?' inspired
many. The skit on the life of Amy Carmichael
kindled fire in the hearts of 22 souls and they
committed for full time missionary work. There was
also a session on starting 'Deborah cell' as a result of
which 71 came forward to start one. The final
sermon challenged the participants to do something
for Christ and they returned with zeal for the Lord.
