I am currently reading Francis Schaeffer’s True Spirituality and this book is just overflowing with timeless gems of truth about the Christian’s walk with Christ. I came across this illustration and had to share it with you. Schaeffer revisits the story of angel Gabriel’s announcement to Mary and shows us how Mary’s response ought to … Continue reading Be It Unto Me According To Your Word
What Is Joseph Prince Doing on TBN?
Exactly. I thought I was the only one asking this question. Apparently, I am not. In the few times that I've listened to snippets of Joseph Prince's sermons, I've found it difficult to understand how he gets airtime on TBN. Yes, he admits that he is a Word of Faith preacher like the rest of … Continue reading What Is Joseph Prince Doing on TBN?
Blog Break (10 Apr 13)
Hi friends. I hope you've been well. There's a lot to be grateful for (everything actually), but the highlight of this week has been the inauguration of Kenya's fourth President, H. E. Uhuru Kenyatta. Please pray for Kenya and its leaders, that God's justice will prevail through the sword that He has entrusted to mere … Continue reading Blog Break (10 Apr 13)
The Salvation of a Hypocrite
For the times when I need to listen to me...
Stuck With the Gospel
I am not a very good guy. Actually, I can't even say that I am good at all. No, don't judge me by what my friends say about me. I live with me, I am in my presence 24-7. I know my heart, and I know the evil that resides there here. It is hard … Continue reading Stuck With the Gospel
The Most Overlooked Miracle in the Bible
If you think bringing back to life a man who has been dead for four days is the greatest miracle Jesus ever performed, you need to read your Bible again. More specifically, you need the re-read that same passage in which Lazarus was raised. It's time to take another trip through John 11. Care to … Continue reading The Most Overlooked Miracle in the Bible
When Jesus Said Goodbye
He looks at the confused faces around him. Shadows of despair cloud each face in the room. His own heart feels like lead. He doesn’t know what else to add, they don’t understand the words he speaks. Still, they fix their eyes on him; Questioning eyes, hungry gazes, expectant faces…. They understand that the worst … Continue reading When Jesus Said Goodbye

Sheath Your Hypocrisy, Dear Moral Anarchist (Weka Condom Mpangoni)
This is a response to Mr. Clay Muganda's article which was published in DN2 (26 March, 2013) titled "Sheath your hypocrisy, dear religious leaders". I'd like to remind him that recognizing/acknowledging a moral standard does not make one a hypocrite for personally failing to meet that standard. I am not a hypocrite simply because I … Continue reading Sheath Your Hypocrisy, Dear Moral Anarchist (Weka Condom Mpangoni)
Much Ado About Resurrection
For a long time in my Christian walk, I honestly didn't get the resurrection of Christ. I confess that I am still not quite sure that I truly grasp it . What I mean is that I didn't get what the "big deal" was regarding the resurrection, and why it must be included in our … Continue reading Much Ado About Resurrection
What’s So Good About Good Friday?
If there is any message that I will never tire or retire from reiterating, its the one that follows this sentence: Dear reader, God loves you. He created you to be His, and you are His because He created you. God made you to worship and delight in Him. He made you so that He … Continue reading What’s So Good About Good Friday?
Why Did The Blind Man Cross The Road?
Jesus: “While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.” John 9:5 Christ commands His saints to be salty. He has equipped us with Himself, the ability to change the state of anyone we encounter and the taste anywhere we go. What do you need to add a salty flavor to … Continue reading Why Did The Blind Man Cross The Road?
Damned If You Choose, Damned If You Don’t
I loved this; A man died and went to heaven and he saw two lines. One line said “Predestined” and the other line said “Free Choice”. So, being a good 5-point Calvinist, he got in the predestined line. And he worked his way up to the front and the angel in charge said “Why are … Continue reading Damned If You Choose, Damned If You Don’t
The Truth About The Truth
I've been thinking about stories, and why they are such effective, timeless modes of communication. Children learn best through stories. So do adults. The best writers are storytellers. Stories just have a way of gripping our attention because they invade our imagination. Stories enter the minds of their hearers unannounced and take a seat on … Continue reading The Truth About The Truth
A Man After God’s Own Art
"Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them." Ephesians 5:11 Samuel said to the Christian Singer, “I am the one the Lord sent to anoint you to write and lead songs of worship in His Church; so listen now to the message from the Lord. This is what the … Continue reading A Man After God’s Own Art

The Life of the Party
Jesus, the winemaker. I bet anyone who attended Sunday school knows what Jesus' first recorded miracle was. He turned water into wine. It is easy to miss the point in this passage. Many people have often used abused this account in Cana to make a case for drunkenness. Others have gone to great lengths to … Continue reading The Life of the Party
Kenya’s 2013 Post Election Violence
[Written on March 15, 2013] There's a celebratory mood in Kenya. Other than those celebrating the wins of their preferred candidates in various electoral positions, there's another, more subtle celebration. Despite many fears of a recurrence of the 2007/08 post-election violence, the 2013 elections were predominantly peaceful. The few incidences prior to the elections, were, … Continue reading Kenya’s 2013 Post Election Violence
Out of Site, Out of Mind (Adios Facebook!)
So, last week I decided to take a short hiatus from Social Media and blogging in order to refresh and catch up. I was supposed to take a month or so off. If you're among the people who noticed that I had even left, you must be wondering what I am doing back here - … Continue reading Out of Site, Out of Mind (Adios Facebook!)
The State of the Art
I used to be a poet. Once. A few years back. You've probably read some of the poems I wrote back then. Like this series on Valentine's Day, written in 2009 or this one on the Word of God, written in 2010. I guess I am not being too conceited when I say that I … Continue reading The State of the Art
