What does the Bible say about humour?

Humour is relative. I mean, do you find any of these below funny?
Q.  What did the picture say to the wall? A. I was framed and hanged! Q.  Who was the first tennis player in the Bible? A. Joseph- cause he served in Pharaoh’s court Q . How do you make holy water? A. You boil the hell out of it.

After reading those three jokes, some of you may be shaking your shoulders in laughter and grabbing your stomachs as if they were in stitches. Some of...<![endif]--><!--[if gte vml 1]></div></o></o></o></o></div>

I want my name in lights!

This thing about your name on a Coke bottle is great! If you don't like it, don't take it badly. It's nothing personal. Really, it's not that they chose to ignore you or anything. It's just that...well...how do I put this? It's just that your name is Kiogora. If it's any consolation, I haven't yet found one with the name Ernest on it. I'm learning that if I lived in a place like Germany, the chances of finding one printed Ernest would be in my favour, together with names such as Heinz an...

What holds a man back from committing to marriage: An unconventional answer

I woke up this morning to a Facebook post from my cousin. She asked: What holds a man back from committing to marriage? The question is general so let me clarify. The context of the question was notwithstanding all struggles such as lack of money, a strained relationship or lack of a woman to marry. The assumption was a man who ought to commit to a relationship and has all the resources but wouldn’t commit- a man who refuses to commit as opposed to one who cannot commit. I asked her...

PEP TALK 2015

PEP TALK 2015 Writing a pro-resolutions blog is outdated, un-newsworthy and too cliche to read. At least that's what the Internet is saying. It's 2015 and we want something new, right? Even your friends are saying it too. There is probably that one person that convinced you that they abandoned the business of sitting down with pen and paper in January with the hope to change about 5 years ago because it just doesn't work. However here is why you shouldn't discard the planning and dreaming :

FOR MEN ONLY: Manhood and Purpose by Boniface Nyoike Ng'ang'a

FOR MEN ONLY: Manhood and Purpose by Boniface Nyoike Ng'ang'a



Boniface Nyoike is a good friend of mine. I invited him to speak at the Men of Integrity (Mo1) ministry that I lead at CITAM Valley Road mid this year. Apologies for the distractions in the recording at the start. If you are a man, I urge you to be humble, teachable and listen. Listen. Generally speaking, we men hardly listen. We are good at criticizing, pointing out mistakes and proving how we know it all. This message by Boniface...

4 Things that they don’t tell you before you get married

4 Things that they don’t tell you before you get married
When I got married, I was met with a few realities that I never expected. I thought I was weird for having encountered these realities until I spoke to a few other married folk, only to realize that the experiences were mutual. I thank God that I was prepared for some of these realities thanks to pre-marital counselling and my walk with God. However, there are some that I was not prepared for. The following are 4 important things that ma...

Your testimony is under watch

Yesterday morning, I was driving with my wife and three friends to Nakuru. I was the preacher of the day at Nakuru’s Christ Is the Answer Ministries (CITAM) Church. The speed limit is 100 kph on the highway to Nakuru. Like a good citizen I maintained the legal speed until I approached the  escarpment slope. Many cars were zooming past me and I figured an extra 10 kph wouldn’t hurt. So I took advantage of the slope and removed my foot from the gas pedal and left gravity to pay the bills....
