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).

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.

The culpability of the tripod stand in our society
An ordinary person wakes up in the morning, intending to fend for his family. Nothing appears workable, as income is unachievable. Inflation erodes whatever little he could manage to produce. He doesn’t know what causes inflation, except to listen to the lies peddled by politicians. Zimbabwe is one of the…
Believing in Jesus; a matter of principle and application.
Jesus brought freedom, the definition of which is self-determination. However, due to being accustomed to slavery, many people assume freedom as committing oneself with some other authority. Freedom, therefore, becomes associated with the opposite of self-determinism. Jesus highlighted the condition of freedom, right at the foundation of His ministry. “He…
Time to expose the merchants of chaos
They can also be defined as rabble-rousers. They create chaos where there is tranquility. What is strange about these characters is that they feel secure in chaos, even where peace appears favorable to them. Such characters exist across the strata of human societies. They are few in numbers but causing…
Authentic knowledge comes from the source
“You stumble day and night, and the prophets stumble with you. So I will destroy your mother—my people are destroyed from lack of knowledge. ‘Because you have rejected knowledge, I also reject you as my priests; because you have ignored the law of your God, I also will ignore your children’” (Hosea…
