All woes afflicting humans—wholly or partially can be traced to satanic machinations. Whether we understand it or not doesn’t change the fact, or the effects. I am sure the declaration above sounds ridiculous to many folks, even among those who consider themselves spiritually astute. But to an enemy—any enemy—a war is halfway won if he can get his opponent to […]
When I was a small boy growing up in the country, population was sparse. Folks knew each other over wide expanse of inhabited areas. Large tracts of land lay virgin with nothing but natural forests, bushes and ferns. In that ecosystem humans shared habitat with huge diversities of flora and fauna. Among my earliest lessons as a child, survival tactics […]
Frivolity has invaded Christian culture! Every so often, you find a comical text in social media promising to unlock blessings if forwarded to other people. Some pretend to activate prayer for you and others. “By sending this, you will make many people pray for you, and for one another…” Likewise, baseless declarations of divine benefits are uttered with no advice […]
13 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing [through the experience of your faith] that by the power of the Holy Spirit you will abound in hope and overflow with confidence in His promises. 14 Personally I am convinced about you, my brothers and sisters, that you yourselves are full of goodness, amply filled with […]
This article is sensitive, provocative, and calls for sober evaluation of deeply entrenched beliefs. Please do NOT read if you are easily offended. As a Christian exhorter, I steer clear of politics as best I can. I am not a commentator, and this is not a political discourse or analysis, but it does touch on matters of social ramifications that […]
“On the third day there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. 2 Now both Jesus and His disciples were invited to the wedding. 3 And when they ran out of wine, the mother of Jesus said to Him, “They have no wine.” 4 Jesus said to her, “Woman, what does your concern have to do […]
“By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion. 2 We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof. 3 For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion. 4 How shall […]
“The young man felt so miserably hungry that he wished he could eat the slop the pigs were eating. Nobody gave him anything.” (Luke 15:16 ~Voice) Most everyone is familiar with the ‘prodigal son’ story. In fact, the word “prodigal” has come to symbolize witless insolence. It’s a place where dissenters scoff at authority figures in their misplaced zeal to […]
O Lord, how long will you forget me? Forever? How long will you look the other way? 2 How long must I struggle with anguish in my soul, with sorrow in my heart every day? How long will my enemy have the upper hand? 3 Turn and answer me, O Lord my God! Restore the sparkle to my eyes, or I will […]
Christian life is a walk of faith; it cannot be conducted any other way. Christian life is spiritual, not natural. It’s based on spiritual laws as opposed to natural ones. In the natural realm, we make our decisions based on natural info. We understand our natural world from what we see, hear, touch, smell and taste. These sense based functions […]
Francis Imbuga’s 1976 play “Betrayal In The City” resonated as an allegory of Africa’s political cancer. Boss, the head of Kafira State, has had several people killed, among them Kabito, a prominent cabinet member. University students are rioting against bad governance of their country. In the process, Adika is shot dead. His brother, Jusper Wendo Esquire, secretly kills the suspected […]
It took forty years to convert “the son of pharaoh’s daughter” into a Hebrew. Growing up in privilege blinds one’s eyes from seeing oppression. When suffering of others supplies luxuries for one’s continued comfort, how great is the beneficiary’s blindness! As a sieve that checks info entering one’s mind, it interprets everyday realities. But there comes a time when a […]
