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.

There’s No Growth without Death

I'm sure you've heard good Christians say things like I want to know God more this year. I want to be more prayerful. To read my Bible more regularly. To be more committed at church.

When a society goes to the dogs

It was disgusting to watch that incident at Forest road. The way that boda boda gang treated that lady goes against what's human, what's African and most importantly what's Christian. That men can result to sexual harassment in response to accidental wrong is unthinkable. The video alone is enough to leave you traumatized, imagine what's … Continue reading When a society goes to the dogs
