Goliath was the easiest target for David, because Goliath was the weakest in his position of strength. But David was the strongest, due to his position of weakness that Goliath took for granted. In real life situation, all failings emanate from positions of strengths. The ultimate downfall of mighty Christians…
Self-control and altruism, answer to all problems
Suppose the principle of self-control is applied in a family environment? Consider a father adequately fulfilling his role of being a provider, a protector and a teacher to his family? [See https://newcivilization.co.zw/attributes-man-masculinity/].

Christ, the Solution to all problems
This life is full of problems. But those problems have got nothing to do with Christ, the only solution to all problems of this world. A newly converted person may face problems, more than he/she ever faced before conversion. While Christ has solutions to all problems, Christ is not the…

God’s Creation is characterized with precision.
All forms of nature manifest the perfection, with which God’s creation was designed. There cannot be any trace of error, or cause for improvement on what God created and claimed to be very good (Genesis 1:31). However, it was later arranged that humans, created in God’s image were to dwell…
Lost in tribulations of ignorance?
Humanity wallows in world problems, due to lack of knowledge (Hosea 4:6). Even though Peter warns that Satan is the predator that Christians ought to be wary of (1 Peter 5:8). However, the real enemy of humanity is ignorance. Equipped with knowledge, one can be able to identify the schemes…
Being conformed instead of being transformed?
“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is…
You cannot love other people if unable to love yourself
Failures in human relations result from either, ignoring or not knowing formulas put in place by God. You cannot love other people if you cannot love yourself. And you cannot love yourself if you cannot love God. The discovery of such formulas can, actually, be an answer to what humans…
