5 ways Christians should respond to the gay agenda

“Will homosexuals go to hell?” a friend of mine asked me recently. I went silent. I knew that they knew that I am a professing Christian. Not just a church goer, but a born-again follower of Jesus Christ. I also knew that they knew that I am a speaker and published author of matters concerning responsible sexuality and the Christian faith. I also knew that they knew that I have a few friends who are gay. I was silent, neither because I feared my friend nor because I didn’t have an answer for...

21 centuries later, do we pass the test?

As the gospel has been preached for 21 centuries, it is clear that a lot of deception has overtaken many people in the world. You don’t need a divine revelation to know this; you just need to read your Bible. Paul the Apostle saw this coming; he said in 2 Timothy 4:3: “For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear.” Below are...

The Way of Reuben: Don’t kiss and tell!

In my quiet time, recently, I read a scripture in the book of 1stChronicles that talked about Reuben, the firstborn son of Jacob. I was intrigued by his story and decided to do a few scriptural background checks on him. The result gave me a humbling revelation. Reuben had it going well until lust had a field day and ruined his portion. I will call this the way of Reuben.
We are told that Jacob has 12 sons. Jacob had four women in his household. Two were wives, Rachel and Leah; the other two we...

Counterfeit Christianity: Why am I suffering if God loves me?

I have never seen a fake 2000 Kenya shilling note. That is because the 2000 Kenya shilling note does not exist- nobody would waste time struggling to counterfeit a fake. However I have seen a fake 1000 Kenya shilling note. That is because the 1000 Kenya shilling note exists. People don’t make fakes of things that do not exist. They only make counterfeits of originals that exist. Authenticity suggests that fakes are bound to occur. People in the banking industry are on the lookout for counterf...

FOR WOMEN ONLY: 5 reasons why some young Christian women are not ready for godly marriages.

Beloved, I cannot guarantee you a magic potion to landing a fancy Disney marriage, but I can guarantee you wisdom to not landing a horrible one. And because godly marriages are miles better than Disney fantasies, here are five reasons why some young Christian women are not ready for godly relationships that lead to thriving marriages. 
1. Speaking ill of marriage and relationships
What do you reckon when you hear a born-again Christian woman state "All men are...

The war we are losing: When entertainment spits at godliness

In the 21st Century we have a generation that professes to be Christian but has forgotten how to blush at entertainment that spits in the face of God- a generation of professing believers that conforms to the world and thinks that Christ Jesus complies. If you call yourself a Christian, Jesus has a lot to say about the entertainment you indulge in.

Are you a fan or a follower of Jesus?Are you simple about evil?Are you are aware we are at war?
I was privileged to be invited by the Christian Unio...

3 deceptive doctrines of pop-culture in the Church

Søren Kierkegaard  once said, “There are two ways to be fooled. One is to believe what isn't true; the other is to refuse to believe what is true.” The Christian faith when it first came into the scene was too incredible to believe. To say that God loves, God incarnated himself into Christ, God died, resurrected and that He associates with the poor and lowly was borderline heretical to ancient culture. But the 33-year-old carpenter from Galilee shook the world. The division of histo...

FOR MEN ONLY: Five things that a married man of God is required by the Lord to do for his wife:

I recently posted a Facebook update about four things that a born again husband ought to do for his wife as required by the Lord. I gained considerable traffic and many people were interested in it. I decided to expound each reason and add a fifth. So these are five things that a married man of God is required by the Lord to do for his wife:
1. Make her happy “If a man has recently married, he must not be sent to war or have any other duty laid on him. For one year he is to be free to stay...

3 UNTRUE & UNBIBLICAL STATEMENTS CHRISTIANS OFTEN USE

Below are three unbiblical statements that some Christians often use that are not true.
1. God helps those who help themselves
This statement is not in the Bible. The intended meaning of this statement is often to encourage men and women not to sit around when their lives fall apart but to actually do something. While God-given freewill is noble, this statement overlooks the fact that often life can crush us to a point that we cannot help ourselves and need external help. If God's help and good...

Penstrokes' Q & A: Debates, Arguments and the Christian

Q. I am born again believer. I have a question. Is it okay that believers participate in debates about faith, morality and God? Why do we have to prove to others what we believe? Can't God fight for himself?
Thank you for the question. It is a very good one. We are living in an age in history where information is power. It’s not enough to have an advert saying your soda is the best; people want to know why and if it really is the best. They need authority. It’s not enough to support a politica...
