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 grass on the other side looks green. They imagine the freedom of being an adult. To come in when …

The Ministry of Critics

When we think God has called us to the ministry we think of words like the Gospel, the lost and those needing discipleship. We imagine walking together to establish the kingdom either where Christ is not known or clarifying the Gospel where there exists confusion. I don't think any of us comes along to be …

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. Perhaps even give more. The problem is like with many new year resolutions they don't see beyond February. Why? Because …

Christian Ministry in a Post-Truth Era

The hardest war to fight is the one you don't know you are part of. It's when you are blamed for what you don't even know. When accusations are levelled and you are called names without knowing what you've done. For most Christians that's how it feels to live in this post-truth era, especially on …

The Trap of Habitual Sin

We are living in times when scandal among Christian leaders is making headlines almost alongside politicians and celebrities. It's like we are just waiting for the next man of God to fall which is sad and ungodly. But perhaps we need to ask ourselves when our own scandal might befall us. You see as much …

The Era of the Popular

I was doing my devotion recently looking at Psalms and I came across Psalms 14 again. It's probably the least liked of the Psalms in our contemporary world except for those who quote it to win arguments in apologetics. But what strikes me every time I read it is I have a bit of hesitation …

Finding Rest in a Restless World

There's a restlessness in us that seems unquenchableWe call it the desire to do better and achieve moreWe give our best in life to make it easierWe kill ourselves with work to be able to rest one day We hope that at one point our lives will be betterOur achievements will be enviable and life …

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 …

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 …
