It is noteworthy the Holy Bible in 1 Cor. 5:7 describes Jesus Christ as “our Passover,” but never calls Him “our Easter.” The Bible, which represents the God-breathed Word of God, would not have attributed such a description to Christ. Why? The Bible doesn’t consider Easter a biblical festival and it does not have roots […]
Death by Decree

In the small village I grew up in, the news of someone’s demise would always leave me terrified, traumatized and even tormented. My childhood nights were a nightmare. Those ghastly dark nights yet to be illuminated by the luxury of electricity didn’t make my nightmares any better. In fact, the darkness added to my childhood […]

Have you heard the news lately? Do things seem to be getting worse? Are you hearing of more unemployment and economic woes, more violence and more tragedy? The world is spiraling out of control. People are losing hope. Murders and suicides are rising. Terrorist attacks are imminent. Intense economic uncertainty inevitably leads to war. What […]

Time waits for no man. The time you spent reading the very first sentence of this article will never return. It’s gone forever! The years you’ve lived since your birth are like a dream; they’re also gone, never to return. The rest of time you have on the Earth is ticking away by the second […]

Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the Saviour of all humanity, is coming. Whether this sin-sick world wants to believe it or not doesn’t matter. The reality is: THE KING IS COMING! The world is not expecting Him. Even if it was, it’s not preparing for the triumphant Second Coming of the Lord of all […]
Letter to Polycrates

Controversy was brewing again, not a bit unusual in the Second Century, since the departure of the highly respected and last living apostle ‘Saint’ John. It was near the close of the Second Century in Ephesus, Asia Minor, an area where great men of God such as the apostles Paul and John, had trod the […]

Life is merely a ritual, albeit a challenging one. We’re born, live out our appointed time, and die; and after a while, “…the memory of them is forgotten” (Ecclesiastes 9:5). Life is like “vapour,” says the book of James, “that appears for a little time, and then vanishes away” (James 4:14). If life is so […]
The Birth of Christ

Jesus, the only begotten Son of God, the Christ and Saviour of the World, was born of a virgin and became flesh. If you are a true Christian, you have to believe this, or you cannot claim to be a follower. There is absolutely no way to argue around this reality. Let the Bible speak […]
Where is The Good News?

As someone who has worked in journalism for nearly 20 years, I can always remember the days when going for the top story of the day was the whole point of working as a newsman. When you got that top story, it made your day, or week for that matter. What was the “good news” […]

They all look forward to having the most wonderful time of the year, in keeping with the popular expectations of this festive time of Christmas. People […]
