As teeny boppers and then early teenagers, our fancies, desires and attractions shifted from one thing to another, depending on importance and interest. I was a committed soccer player, traveling on bicycle twice a week to practice and retuning in the dark with games on Saturdays. Then suddenly my interest shifted to rugby. When I […]
It has become extremely difficult to distinguish between the true Church of God and the false Church because as Jesus warned, there will be weeds growing with the wheat. Our Lords teaches the following parable … Mt 13:24 Jesus told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in […]
Have you noticed how the “out of the ordinary” tends to draw people? They see or hear and come looking! A few weeks back when a Bolt driver drove into my car, there were no witnesses, but within a minute and a half a “tow truck” was at the scene. The must have heard the […]
Today we come to a man called Philip. He was a deacon and an evangelist in the Early Church. Ac 8:5 Philip went down to a city in Samaria and proclaimed the Christ there. 6 When the crowds heard Philip and saw the miraculous signs he did, they all paid close attention to what he said. 7 With shrieks, evil […]

A perfectly accurate Biblical exposition does not necessary mean a good response. As a newly ordained preacher, I faced a faction in the Church who complained about my sermons. Naturally, this takes the wind out of a preacher because this is what God called you to do … explain the Bible to the saved and […]
There are times when children resist their parent’s authority and don’t really care about the consequences. This was the case with Israel. Ac 7:51 You are just like your fathers:You always resist the Holy Spirit! Remember that God is God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. When Israel resisted the Holy Spirit […]
Our prisons are filled with people who had all the opportunities of doing the right thing, yet stubbornly refused to do right and chose to do wrong. Conviction and sending for a prison term is based upon laws that have been made known to the population through … at the very least … the Government […]
