Death is most feared and considered unpleasant by most people. Yet the apostle Paul insinuated treating death as gain. “For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain” (Philippians 1:21) (NIV). From Paul’s viewpoint, we can deduce that death signifies freedom. This calls for a proper understanding…
Good people are good because they’re not discouraged
All human beings are basically good because they were created in God’s image. However, it is common that some people are regarded as good while others are regarded as bad. We have to understand the real causes of such conditions, in order to be in control, rather than being controlled.…
Polarization is good for the country
In Zimbabwe, we have the armchair political analysts blaming polarization for the wrong things. They suggest that everyone should join forces with the ruling party, for things to go well. This was the terrible mistake initially made by ZAPU forging a Patriotic Front arrangement with ZANU. While appearing as noble,…
Reality is not always what appears to be
Any person, whether a beggar or a vagabond, carries potential energy that is many times more powerful than the atom bomb. What seems difficult to penetrate in the minds of many people is the statement that a human being was created in God’s image. A human being is not the…
Outside intervention is necessary, in handling domestic disputes
This cannot be debatable to any normal woman, constantly terrorized by a husband gone berserk. Outside interference is a right that is internationally recognized.

A thriving democracy is closest to God’s Kingdom
The nature of problems in the African continent is caused by the inability to allow democracy to thrive. Very few people are able to think independently. The power of influence by others has always been the enemy of humanity. Each individual seeks to behave according to the idolized individuals. Lack…
The infallible principle of unity
Like love, unity is the most abused term, attached to different morals among different peoples. Criminals can also be united in carrying out their nefarious activities. While beneficial to themselves, such nefarious activities, sustained in unity with each other, would be harmful to the rest of humanity. Therefore, one cannot…
Is the uniqueness of Jesus different from ours?
Added to theological studies is the nature of the man whose name was Jesus. Principally, Jesus had the fundamental knowledge and understanding of the uniqueness of humanity, as compared to other species. A human being was created in God’s image (Genesis 1:26-27). While fascinated by the uniqueness of Jesus, the…
Another perspective on “Transformed by Grace”
It is highly commendable that the former Worldwide Church of God, under the leadership of Joseph W. Tkach, made doctrinal changes. This was a bold move, probably unheard of, in the history of the corporate Christian Organizations. This treatise can be used for critiquing, but not solely intended for the…
