“Nazareth! Can anything good come from there?” Nathanael asked (John 1:46 NIV). There could not have been any reason for Nathanael to be adjudged as having been racist. His comment appears as having been based on the consideration of the reputation of the city of Nazareth. Humans are known to judge…
Earthly existence is designed for growth
Human beings were not designed for this world. Having been created in God’s image, humans were created to govern, but not to conform to worldly patterns. The challenge for humanity emanates from not knowing the spiritual identity. Just by establishing the true identity one begins to behave differently. Ordinary people…
Faith and doubt are not compatible.
It is unnecessary to talk about Jesus when not believing everything taught by Him. One has to understand what the Christian faith entails, before assuming to be a Christian believer. “And without faith, it is impossible to please God because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists…

Pseudo revolutionaries are the worst enemies

But, perhaps nothing proves this reality than the Zimbabwean story. The liberation…

Jesus is not the only Son of God.
Having been created in God’s image; the entire humanity represents God’s children. Sadly, through one man, the entire humanity, except Jesus, severed the relationship with God.
