The wicked mind assumes that there can be an effect without a cause. Hence, a criminal takes comfort in owning something without exchanging anything for its value. Corruption is based on the idea that there would be no cause for the effect of whatever is stolen. When one takes comfort…
Evil is a violation of loyalty.
How did evil visit humanity? A human being is associated with evil. But a human being was created in God’s image, and God carries no attribute of sinfulness. The story starts at the Garden of Eden, where the woman saw what was desirable for food. Humans know that evil entails…
Christian confusion urgently needs addressing.
The Judeo-Christian Bible remains authoritative in the Christian world. But Jesus said: “Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in…
What’s in children for God’s Kingdom?
Jesus gave significance to children. Insisting that God’s Kingdom would be accessed through behaving like little children. This is profound. How could little children project what the learned adults are unable to display? Being a grandparent, having spent most of my time with little children, I know the behaviour of…
Whose interest are Christian organizations fulfilling?
It is of utmost importance to highlight something undeniable. If one considers him/herself a bonafide Christian but displays the following attributes: chances are that the person might be deceiving him/herself, or being just a fake.

The purpose of life is to serve others
Humans, like any other living organism, naturally, pursue survival. A plant grows, before producing the seeds that may germinate to further produce its kind. The same regeneration applies to all species on land and in vast oceans. Unlike humans, there is no other purpose of existence, for living organisms. Their…
The limitations of grace are self-induced.
Grace is accessible to all humans. It is unnecessary to boast about God’s grace, as if inaccessible to other humans. We live in a world that assumes that success is about achieving admirable things, in comparison with other fellow humans. Paul’s ingenuity, in his figurative speech, sounded contemptuously in violation…
Trust is the most important social commodity.
Without trust, marriages flounder. The foundation of the societal fabric is based on trust. Sadly, the majority of marital unions are founded on distrust, rather than trust. Money is often given precedence, even where the odds would not favour such marital unions. It is extremely essential to explore qualities of…
Bringing Smith’s Government through the backdoor?
Let me start by describing the only time that I ever raised my intellectual eyebrows concerning the people’s favourite, of Mukomana ngaapinde fame. This concerned a remark made at Oxford Union Society, granting respect to Robert Mugabe the young, while criticizing Robert Mugabe the old. I could not figure out,…
