Forty Six Dollars On Our Heads

Today’s news reveals how low the price of human life has become in the Nigerian society (and the world in general?) in recent times. Our very own Al Qaeda lookalike-Boko Haram- pays its foot soldiers about forty six dollars each to carry out every terrorist operation against us infidels.

When Religious Aliens Come Knocking

Aliens, as in extraterrestrials, come in all manner of shapes and sizes at least according to science fiction authors, TV produces, filmmakers and even scientists. We have to rely on them since we don’t yet have an alien on the slab in the lab for verification. Our potential aliens also have all manner of philosophies and intentions – invasion and sex usually dominate. But what about religion: their existence and impact on our religion and of greater importance, their religion’s impact on us.

A Worshipper That Moved Heaven and Hell Into Action

Mary was a sister to Martha and Lazarus, living in the town of Bethany. A town that was about 3 km or 2 miles from Jerusalem and was situate on the road to Jericho.

To Those Who Are Enemies of the Cross

“For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the Cross of Christ: whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.” – Philippians 3:18, 19. Why do men hate the cross?

Peace on Earth

Carnal Tongues

Many people experience heartache as the result of verbal abuse. The Christian Army is the only army that kills its wounded.

In Weakness Is Power

Any honest admission of weakness which combines with reliance on God’s strength is a demonstration of real faith. Faith is never easier, nor stronger in effect, than when we are honest before God. And with our weakness we need to combine positivity. Being realistic yet unshakably positive is an expression of serious faith.

Faith, Social Justice, and Public Policy: A Progressive’s View

There is a critical national debate taking place about the direction of our country. Some would have us revert to another time when the white majority ruled, women knew their place in the home, and gays stayed in the closet. Others in the progressive community see an increasingly multicultural nation where all are respected and accepted. At the same time, there are critical national issues such as income inequality, poverty, human rights, health care, environmental stewardship, and peacemaking that call for the engagement of progressive advocates. Progressive faith and spiritual communities need to ally themselves with more secular social justice advocates to create a more inclusive and just society.
