Grace is the most important, yet most misunderstood concept in Christianity. Its simplicity derives from God’s love towards man – God doing all that is required to redeem man in his fallen state.
Religion has been defined as man’s efforts to appease God. Unfortunately, the best of efforts is not enough to satisfy the requirements of divine law. If there was one person who was well versed in the law and did everything he could to follow the requirements of the law, it was Paul the Apostle.
In Philippians 3:5-6, he highlighted his spiritual credentials, ‘..circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee; concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is i...

On Thursday June 23, 2016, the people of Great Britain went to the polls to decide the future on England, whether to stay or remain in the entity called the European Union.
Before this time, campaigners had done all they could to convince the electorate which way to vote. Unfortunately, twenty-four hours before the vote was scheduled to begin, many were still undecided. On Friday June 24, 2016, to the surprise of many, a majority of the British voters decided to leave the European Union.
Since this historic decision, there has been a cloud of uncertainty over the future of Great Britain with many seeing the decision to leave the EU as death knell to what was once referred to as Great Britain. While many who voted to leave have been jubilating, there have been reports of people lament...

As we celebrate another Father’s day, I am honoured to be given the opportunity to speak on the topic, A Tale of two Fathers. Interestingly enough, we cannot begin the discussion on the two fathers without first examining the role of a mother in the lives of these two men.
Hannah was a woman who desired to have a child but for a long time in her marriage, she was unable to get pregnant. The desperation led her to the temple one day where she prayed, pouring her heart out to God in prayer. At about this time, the High Priest, Eli was in the temple and while observing her, assumed she was drunk, since all he could see was her mouth moving with no sound. He came to her and scolded her for being drunk but was soon corrected when Hannah told him why she was in the temple and what s...

On Thursday 23rd June 2016, British nationals will be making a decision that will have a huge significance on the future of Britain; whether to remain or to leave the European Union.
Campaigns have started and as it is often the case, there are those in favour of leaving and those against it. Although the polls already show the number of those who are likely to vote on either side of the spectrum, as a British national myself, I still belong to the group of the undecided and hope that by voting day, I would have been armed not only with the information I need to help me make the right decision but also and most importantly, the spiritual guidance to know what God’s will is.
Sometimes making choices is easy especially when there is a clear line of distinction...

There was a man who was helped by His friends to get to house where Jesus was speaking. By the time they got there, the house was full and many could not get into the house to hear Jesus speak. I can imagine if it was the present time, there would have been a discussion among the friends along this line;
Friend 1 – “Whose idea was it to come here anyway?
Friend 2 – “It does not matter, we just have to figure a way to get in
Friend 3 – “I agree, there has to be a way
Friend 1 – “Are you guys out of your minds? Can you see the crowd outside? We should have been here hours ago to give us a chance to get inside”
Friend 4 – “What about the roof? Can’t we climb up and make a hole from which we can lower him down?”
Friend 2 – “Great Idea! Why didn’t I think of that?”
