Sometimes it Takes More Courage To Stay

We are living in a world that glorifies quitting for better options. They say if you don't like that job then get another one or go into business. If that man isn't meeting your dreams then leave, girl, and get into the market. If that church isn't giving you the experience then hop to another …

Making Decisions in the Social Media World

It used to be that when one wants to make an important decision they'd visit someone they respected for counsel. You'd meet up with your old man when considering a worthy investment just to hear what they thought about it. You'd find someone who has succeeded in business and hear their thoughts out.

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 …
