One can travel at a speed of a rocket, or move as slowly as a tortoise. There would have been some movement, nevertheless. The laws of nature are that from one place to another, there would have been some change in space and time. Everything that one does in this…
The fear of God and survival
How possible can it be to fear God when one is unfamiliar with God? All humans, whether they be Christians or not, have some instinct to know that God ought to be adored and honoured. One does not necessarily have to have read the Bible to know that goodness comes…
The real stigma is on being the effect
As bad as colonialism is considered to have been; the blacks were also bereft of responsibility. They didn’t understand the principle of cause and effect. Except for being white, what was the other sin by colonial masters? Exercising power was also common among blacks, themselves. The uncivilized people, whether white…
Earnestly pursuing peace
Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult. On the contrary, repay evil with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing. For, “Whoever would love life and see good days must keep their tongue from evil and their lips from deceitful speech. They must turn from…
Delighting in righteousness
A man with a clean heart can never be hurt. The Biblical story of Joseph can be captivating, not only for the young but also for the grown adults. From a physical point of view, Joseph grew up under very complicated conditions. His mother died when he was still very…
Freedom; according to Christianity
The term, “freedom” can be abused to mean what it doesn’t advocate. Every human being needs freedom.

Pray for the perpetrator, not the victim
This world insists that a person who harms another deserves to be punished. However, the person who harms another subtracts his/her dignity, thereby needing prayer, more than the harmed person. Abel was murdered by Cain. Yet, of the two brothers, Abel died at an advantage, rather than Cain. Cain lived…
Jesus did not die for physical humans
The physical body is animalistic and its defence also follows the pattern of the animal kingdom. The behaviour of any creature, observed in this world, is governed through the process of birth, growth and death. That pattern is similar to human beings. However, Jesus came to redeem humanity from that…
Correcting historical issues is impossible
In the twenty-first century, there are people obsessed with attempting to address historical issues. The African continent is betrayed by those attempting to correct colonial injustices, committed by powerful nations. No one can give life to those who perished during colonialism. In recent times, Afro-Americans have displayed their commitment to…
