Fanaticism suggests that whatever is regarded as truth makes one right, assuming that everyone else would be wrong. At the time of Jesus, there were Zealots, secretly committing murders, against those considered to be enemies of the Jews. Currently, we have the Al-Qadir groupings, having been known for terrorist activities,…
Salvation is saleable to children, rather than adults
Human strength is considered the opposite of what it has always been assumed to be. I suppose when Jesus indicated that the first shall be last, He had viewed this with the consideration of this datum in mind. When one is promoted to a higher rank, he generally carries the…
True Christians are with God, although living in the flesh
Just as Jesus was not of this world, true Christians are not of this world. This is the time to remove confusion, since the apostolic times, in the first century. Those claiming to be blessed, materially, are either deceived or are the deceivers of other people. Paul demonstrated a lack…
Loving the unlovable in a sinful world
Love is one of the most difficult terms to apply, yet all humans desire to be loved. Conditional love is wrongly defined as love. But, conditional love has got nothing to do with the correct definition of love. A mixture of love and hatred is worse than hatred itself. Love…
Education and wisdom are not synonymous.
Education, by definition, ought to grant wisdom, as expected to enlighten scholars to become productive in society. Something appears as if yawningly missing, in the field of education. When judged by scholars who boast of holding PhDs but without tangible benefits on the ground. The educational system seems as failing…
The only asset to be cherished is honesty
The value and the purpose of living are in one’s integrity, existing for eternity. While everything should be treated as morning mist. A person’s integrity is different from his physical looks, whether blind or crippled. There are those wishing that their physical looks ought to have been better, but this…
Authoritarianism is cultish in nature
A cult is defined as a group of people with a religious, philosophical or cultural identity, sometimes viewed as a sect. It is often existing on the margins of society or being exploitative towards its members. But this includes devotion to a person considered to be a saint. Loyalty is…
Becoming happy by making others happy
The law of happiness is as applicable as any other law of nature that produces results. If you smile at another person, the same person smiles back at you. Although, that principle does not apply in the event that the other person construes an ulterior motive. Nevertheless, a person draws…
The Citizens Convergence for Change, with a bang?
“Woman,” Jesus replied, “believe me, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews. Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship…
Becoming a Christian on one’s own terms
Before leaving, Jesus instructed His disciples to preach the gospel to all nations. This did not mean that everyone would believe. Some would believe, but others would not believe. The prerogative was left at a person’s own determinism. The gospel had to be exactly the one that Jesus had advanced.…
