Velutha exists as one of the most innocent characters of the God of Small Things -- he does not make bad things happen, rather, they happen to him. A dutiful worker, a kind friend, a passionate lover; Velutha does not take advantage and act selfishly as the others do.

Spiritual Discipleship: A Biblical Guide to Disciplining New Converts Chapter One Introduction Over the past few years, I have seen many of our churches fail in disciplining new converts. Because of a failure in training, many people believe conversion is just accepting Jesus into your heart and professing Him with your mouth along with giving your heart to the Lord and that’s it, therefore many new believers are confused when it comes to salvation. Churches are good at “opening the altar” and…

(I pray this inclusion concerning celibacy will not confuse people. My purpose is to intertwine this “state of being” into what ‘I believe’ is the true meaning of this position with God; therefore, please abide with me to explain this.) In the Old Testament, a few people known for celibacy or bachelor- hood were Elijah, Joshua and Gideon, along with the Jewish Essenes. While there were other outside groups (such as; Hinduism, Buddhism and numerous monks in organizations, etc.), and…
