It's time for True believers to get on their knees and pray for this generation. It's time for prayerful believers to scar their knees for this, our nation. The devil is slowly perfecting his camouflage and we cannot see him with our natural eyes. In the name of feigned spirituality and depth, he's feeding us … Continue reading Generation X

Bridal Showers – Are They Really of God?
Have you ever read something and found yourself saying, "I wish I had written that," or "my thoughts exactly!"? Well, this happens to be one of those moments for me. A friend of mine asked me the other day why I have not yet written on dating (or courtship) relationships on my blog. I told … Continue reading Bridal Showers – Are They Really of God?
Do You Like God?
It sounds like a trick question, doesn't it? But have you ever thought about the implications of using such words as "friend" or "father" when describing your relationship with God? It is easy to imagine God as Creator - a domineering one for that matter. But, a friend? That's almost irreverent. We love hanging out … Continue reading Do You Like God?
Why Atheists and Unbelievers Have it Easy (for now…)
Surely God is good to Israel, to those who are pure in heart. But as for me, my feet had almost slipped; I had nearly lost my foothold. For I envied the arrogant when I saw the prosperity of the wicked. They have no struggles; their bodies are healthy and strong. They are free from … Continue reading Why Atheists and Unbelievers Have it Easy (for now…)
Why Are You Afraid? Insecurity in Kenya
The number of deaths from Sunday’s bomb attack on a matatu in Eastleigh has risen to 9. Those injured are in their dozens. Chaos has erupted in the affected neighborhoods as accusatory fingers are pointed by members of one neighborhood across the fence from another neighborhood. I have now lost count of the number of … Continue reading Why Are You Afraid? Insecurity in Kenya
Let Me Be Your Strength – A Letter From My Father
Dear Child, I saw you trembling with fear. From my throne, I felt the hairs on the back of your neck rising. The cold sweat chilled my spine too, your troubled heart tripped my heart-beat too.

Lyrical Review: Conqueror by Joyce Omondi
Many are the times when I've sat down to write on the beauty of the Gospel only to find that the news in my Gospel doesn't sound so good. Even more are the times I have written about the freedom that we have in Christ, only to find myself complicating the freedom and making it … Continue reading Lyrical Review: Conqueror by Joyce Omondi
God is My Strength and Portion Forever
Truly God is good to Israel, to those who are pure in heart. But as for me, my feet had almost stumbled, my steps had nearly slipped. For I was envious of the arrogant when I saw the prosperity of the wicked. For they have no pangs until death; their bodies are fat and sleek. … Continue reading God is My Strength and Portion Forever
The Salvation of a Hypocrite
As followers of Christ, we don’t always need to travel across borders to find souls in need of a Savior. More often than not, we don’t even need to step out of our houses to find a soul in need of our witness. And though this could come as a shocker, we don’t even need … Continue reading The Salvation of a Hypocrite
Plagiarized Spirituality – God or Google? [Part 2]
The problem with plagiarism among Christians is that the problem is not plagiarism in itself, but the false self-aggrandizement that it reveals. It is bad enough to be proud of an ability you have, what is to be said of taking pride in an ability that you don't even have? "We have different gifts, according … Continue reading Plagiarized Spirituality – God or Google? [Part 2]

Fool For You by Nichole Nordeman
In those times when you can't seem to make sense of it all. Times when doubt dances in delight as logic labors to rule your life. Times when the deceiver doesn't want to desist. Times when faith falters and almost fails as reason rises to reign.... At such times, songs such as this one remind … Continue reading Fool For You by Nichole Nordeman
The Cross and Hip Hop Culture
Do beliefs inform cultural expressions or do cultural expressions inform beliefs? I know that in philosophy and science, the philosophers and scientists respectively observe [externally] the life and the cultural expressions of people in order to formulate what laws, principles and beliefs inform and drive those actions. No one assumes that some of those actions, … Continue reading The Cross and Hip Hop Culture
The Truth! Do You Know Him?
He stumbles into my courtyard. His hands tightly bound at the wrists in leather straps. His hair is an entangled mess of blood and sweat, yet there seems to be no scratch or cut on his face. I wonder wonder whose blood that is, or where it came from. His knees are buckling with exhaustion. … Continue reading The Truth! Do You Know Him?
What is the Point of Prayer?
I remember sometime back when such a question used to bug me a lot. If God already knows what's in my heart, what is the point of praying? If God already knows what I need, why do I need to deliberately present the request to Him? Such questions would bother me because the answers that … Continue reading What is the Point of Prayer?
Volunteers in Hell
[Originally written in 2008] God doesn’t send people to hell, they volunteer. The names in the lamb's Book of Life are written in God's handwriting. The names on hell's members list are written by the sinners' own handwriting. As human beings, our self-preserving gene is famous for magnifying the accusing finger. We are known through-out … Continue reading Volunteers in Hell
Lyrical Review: Appointment by Jimmy Gait ft Cece
I will say it up-front, Jimmy Gait's new song, "Appointment" is both simple and beautiful, I guess that makes it simply beautiful? As usual, I will go straight to the lyrics, for that's my niche in these reviews. I have not been able to locate any online links containing the lyrics. But I wrote them … Continue reading Lyrical Review: Appointment by Jimmy Gait ft Cece
I’m Only Human… or Am I?
"I'm only human." - Unknown At least, that's what I like to tell myself every now and then. I am only human. I employ those words to shield myself from correction and the rebukes of others, and often to justify my carelessness or poor stewardship. This is especially true when it comes to my words, … Continue reading I’m Only Human… or Am I?
Sanctify Them by Your Truth, Father. [“The Sex Files”]
It has come to my attention that my last review of Mavuno Church's ongoing series, The Sex Files: Living in an R-Rated World came off to many people as being predominantly [and therefore unfairly] negative. It appeared as if I was out to pick out all the flaws in the sermon and ignore all the … Continue reading Sanctify Them by Your Truth, Father. [“The Sex Files”]
