What makes a happy marriage?
My wife and I celebrated seven years of marriage this September. As many of our friends sent us congratulatory messages, a friend of my wife asked me if I was truly happy. I asked her why.
“I met person X and they said that to have that kind of happiness and you’ve been married for less than 10 years is a lie. He said you and Turi must be hiding something. Nobody is that happy.”
“What gives them the impression that I am happy?” I asked.
“Well, they see you.”
“Then they see right. I am happy.”...

THE UGLINESS OF GOSSIP
THE UGLINESS OF GOSSIP
One of the most frustrating things I have been challenged to deal with in the past year is people who have engaged in slander and gossip about me. In the past year, I have encountered a few situations where people have said untruthful things said about me in my absence. Some were people I hardly knew so I really did not care. Then I started to care when it became social media bullying. Then I lost it when it was people I knew.
Earlier this year a certain lady with a fak...

A conversation on personal purity
I met a young man recently who was struggling with porn. He professed to be born again. He wanted to be free. I asked him how his entertainment was. I threw a few popular titles his way. He admitted to being a consumer of all of them.
“Are you aware that the trailers alone show that those programs are rated to have nudity and lots of sexual perversion?”
“Yes, but I ignore those parts.”
“How do you ignore them?”
“I just focus on the rest of the series.”
“Forgive me for saying this but that’s c...

Is your church preaching the Gospel or is it preaching humanism?
Is your church preaching the Gospel or is it preaching humanism?
I have had the opportunity to visit several churches in the past year. In some cases, I’ve been called to preach. In other instances, my wife and I just decided to visit. A handful warmed our hearts with the unadulterated preaching of the gospel. However, a good number centred their pulpit ministry on humanism. The long and short of modern-day humanism is that it elevates the goodness of man above the glory of God. It is often p...
