There is a theology known as Biblical Theology. It does not intend to counter any other “Theology” such as Systematic Theology. Rather it looks at the storyline of the Bible from Genesis to Revelation and develops a picture that flows. This picture is the story of God’s Rescue Plan for man. It’s first statement is […]
What happens when someone is a false witness today? Even more, what happens when that false witness is a practicing advocate? Very recently we have seen an advocate who “stole” his way into a high profile case being disbarred. He can no longer work representing clients. This happened in the context of the legal system […]
Lies, deceit, fraud, defamation, falsification and any other method to ruin one’s character, credibility and reputation are rife in our world. These things happen every day. Each one of us knows this because we have been faced with it … and sadly we have been guilty of it as well in different ways and at […]
There is opposition in any Church. It does not matter how right the pastor and elders do things, opposition will happen. We see this in families, business, sports world, neighborhoods, societies, political parties, etc. Opposition will happen whether we like it or not.

Although democracy has various forms and shapes in different countries, yet in essence … and taken from an online dictionary, it means … “’Government by the people’. In practice this means majority rule where the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised by the people through periodical ‘free elections’ to form a ‘democratic […]
I know a man who had a business that employed 150 people. He had 10 managers and he ploughed his energy, efforts and expertise into them. In turn they had people who reported to them. He managed 10 and the 10 each managed a group. In this way the business operated smoothly and as soon […]
There are people who, if you did not know, would think they are believers in the Lord Jesus because of what they say. They are sensible and make sense. They are knowledgeable and share knowledge. They have this cunning knack of saying the right things at the right time. Gamaliel was such a man … […]
Have you ever been “under the knife”? By this I mean to have an operation where the surgeon, using his scalpel, cuts into you. The procedure, although intended for good, is an intrusion into the body, which the body does not like. I remember a doctor saying to me that when assisting a surgeon in […]
