As one of the Ten Commandments, Jesus stated that the Israelites were to have no other gods before Him. The context was designed to draw their attention to the oneness of God (Exodus 20:3). This was particularly projected as prelude to the Greatest Commandment—leading to the codification of what is…
Jesus’ principles impeded by hypocrisy
Hypocrisy implies pretending to be one thing, yet actually being the other. In other words, this can also be described as duplicity. Hypocrisy is not necessarily only found in Christianity. It is dominant even among various other social groupings. Imagine, driving behind a fellow who indicates turning right, when actually…
Who is the I AM that delivered the Israelites from Egypt?
“Then Moses said to God, ‘If I come to the people of Israel and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you, and they ask me, “what is His name?” what shall I say to them?’ God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.”…
Exposure of primitive comportment in tribalism.
“From which tribe are you?” This is a question I find to be most difficult to answer, as frequently asked by people I meet outside Zimbabwe. I fail to give a definitive answer to this question, due to my relational connections from all parts of Zimbabwe. My Ndebele tribal background…
The significance of leaving everything to follow Christ.
Simon Peter is characterized by leaving his fishing business behind, to follow Christ. Jesus declared that He would specifically build His Church, through Peter—resulting in Peter’s ability to identify Jesus as Christ.

The news coming from down South can indeed be disturbing, to those with rational minds. Land expropriation, as being tabled in South African Parliament, sounds noble. But only to those failing to appreciate that the problem of humanity is more to do with the mind, rather than land, necessarily. What…
The phenomenon of denominationalism in Christianity
Denominationalism is a phenomenon, since its existence has got no Biblical base, as Christianity is biblically constituted. The apostle Paul attempted to deal with this phenomenon in 1 Corinthians 1:10-17. However, while disapproving of its venomous existence in strong terms, Paul was merely dealing with the effect, without exposing the…
Which day is the Day of Worship?
Before answering, one has to first establish the reason behind the Day of Worship question. If simply desiring to live according to God’s laws, the best advice is guiding the person scripturally. According to the Ten Commandments, the Seventh Day of the week is the Day of worship. However, if…
Lessons from the behaviour of MDC’s Chamisa
Having been closely following the goings on, in MDC T, lately, I hold free counselling to one of the leadership aspirants, Nelson Chamisa. This, by no means, should be interpreted as taking sides. But facilitating processes to enable the divinely anointed one to take over, without unnecessary confusion. The developments…
Could Herbert Armstrong’s teachings have been better than orthodox Christianity?
When truth has to be told, Hebert Armstrong comprehended Scriptures better than the orthodox Christianity. No-one can take away the passion that he exuded in teaching what he considered to be true, though later found to be false. Of course, there is no doubt that the name Herbert Armstrong can…
