Chief Architect and Master Builder!

Lately in church, we’ve been talking a lot about Seasons of Silence. Those seasons when God’s voice is undiscernable and the resulting silence is deafening. Yesterday, I stated that while there are definetely seasons of silence in our lives, God is always actively at work to bring about His purpose. You see, He determines when [...]

400 Silent Years?!

I’ve been so swamped the last couple of days, that I haven’t even been able to update my blog, so I apologize to those of you who ‘religiously’ look for a daily update. Any way, enough of the platitudes and let’s get down to the business at hand. You see, I’ve been thinking a lot [...]

A mega toxic rock!

This week we’ve been talking about ‘rocks’ of dishonor, toxic rocks, and we’ve even taken a toxic test. If you tested ‘positive’ for toxicity, then I need to give you a real incentive to let go of the bitterness and find it in your heart to extend forgiveness to whomever the source of your pain, [...]

Detoxing from toxicity

So, yesterday I spoke about being hit by ‘toxic rocks’ that may well have shaped your outlook and approach to life, and I suggested that you might be interested in taking a toxic test to determine whether or not you actually have toxic residue clinging to you like cologne. I would make the case that [...]

Toxic rocks!

This is a photo of me delivering yesterday’s sermon at The Well! I know, I know, you wish you went to a church like that too, huh? Seriously, this was my sermon illustration and it just so happened to be ‘Mission Sunday’ as well, and so I was dressed in my traditional Nigerian attire in [...]

Stone him, stone him, stone him…!!!

Bernard Madoff, 70, bilked and swindled ‘investors’ out of more than 64 billion dollars in what is arguably Walls Street’s grandest ponzi scheme, over a period of more than thirty years. No one was safe, from actor Kevin Bacon, to Nobel Peace Prize winner Elie Wiesel, to Charities and foundations, everyone fell under the greed-driven [...]

Let’s talk about sex…!

Let’s talk about sex…
I’m just playing with you! I only said that to get your attention (we probably will talk about sex one of these days, just not today) because I really need your input on this. Seriously though, while we won’t be directly talking about sex today, in a roundabout sort of way we [...]

All questions and no answers?

Here are a couple more questions for you to ponder as we approach the weekend.

What, in your opinion would be the starting point for a conversation about Jesus in today’s world, bearing in mind that we live in a world which largely considers Christianity irrelevant and Christians to be hypocritical and judgmental?
Who speaks for God [...]

A radical Islamic Taliban Roman…? (Part 3)

Over the last few posts we’ve been on a quest to answer the following questions:
Is it possible to have an authentic relationship with God without ever having heard of or knowing Jesus Christ?Are we saved by cognitive acceptance of certain dogmas or by reciting a rote prayer, or are we saved by the trajectory of [...]

A radical Islamic Taliban Roman…? (Part 2)

(To make better sense of today’s post you’d be well served to read part 1 first)

Clearly, when Peter was saved he became a ‘Christ-following Jew’ since there was no group or organized religion to belong to. By the same token when Cornelius was saved he became a ‘Christ-following gentile.’ This is key in recognizing that [...]
