When We Get Heaven All Wrong

In the last few days, Kenyans have been glued to their television and newspapers watching the unfolding horror propagated by "pastor" Paul Mackenzie of the ironic Good News International church. The question in many people's minds is how this pastor managed to convince people to sell off property, move to his land and fast to …

When Freedom Doesn’t Lead to Happiness

When that rebellious phase sets in children imagine an adventurous life beyond the home. They think of what life would be if there were no limitations and dad wasn't always there to ruin their fun.

The Price of the Ungrateful Heart

They say the grass always looks greener on the other side of the fence. Well, that's until you get there. It's so easy to imagine that your life would be far much better if you got that job, that promotion, a bigger salary, a life partner or a better one for those married, a child, …

Entitlement is the Enemy of Worship

Many times we approach God like we do an employer. We come not broken and indebted but rather anxious and annoyed at him. Why? Well because we feel he's failing us. We come to collect our paycheck for service rendered and it's late or unavailable. We feel we've done our part better than most but …

Every Story needs Tension

We love stories that leave us wanting to read more. It's the suprises, the tension within and that desire to see how it'll all end up that keeps us following. If you forwarded the movie and opened the last chapter of the book you'd get the end but miss the experience. Every chapter counts in …

Made for more than the perfect Weekend

Ever felt like the anticipation of rest is more than the rest we actually get. You know when it's a Thursday evening and you tell yourself just one more day and it's the weekend. That feeling when you know Saturday morning lie in is coming. When you don't need to snooze the alarm. It's even …

When men are blind to the obvious!

I'm always amazed how easily we can miss things that are right infront of us. When something is so obvious to everyone else except us. Later on you hear friends say they can't believe you didn't see that. It was so obvious, how could you not see it. Many times we miss details about ourselves …
