Who is a Christian? Many people think they know what a Christian is. But most people, even those who claim to be Christian, do not. A Christian is not someone who was born Christian, the same way Jews are born Jewish. Christianity is a daily choice, not a […]
It has always amazed me how people can switch religious beliefs so easily, and accept everything taught to them on the other side as absolute truth, when they once believed they were absolute lies!!! Why are we so fickle? Why is it that we are so desperate to […]
“because you are lukewarm–neither hot nor cold–I will spit you out of my mouth” (Rev 3:16). I remember when fundamental meant a good thing! It meant that something was of paramount importance and that the person who held views of paramount importance did not easily sway to opposing […]
There are many attacks against the Christian faith and our duty to spread the good news to everyone. Most attacks are fundamental, which is to say that they try to breakdown our very belief in the existence of God, through the spread of atheism, which seems to be […]
In your group of friends, you’re known as the ‘Christian’, ‘Goody-Two-Shoes’, and – on a bad day – ‘Bible-Basher’. You’ve learned that your opinion is not wanted, appreciated or even acceptable in group discussions. But your friend has just told everyone at the lunch table that she’s planning […]
I don’t know anyone who enjoys a trial, or a single soul who can stand waiting. These, for us, are seemingly unnecessary aspects of living. We all wish life would be free of trials and we could have what we want when we want it. However, for God, […]
Ummm…before I dive in to my post, let me sound a warning! My opinion is simply what it is, an opinion…and it might be quite unpopular. Before you pick up stones to cast at me, please read to the end… If after that, you still feel I deserve […]
Many people think I am nice. You know, because I am Christian, they feel I ought to be nice, friendly and agreeable. And the fact that I am charitable and compassionate magnifies the perception that I am naive, easy and a push over. Resisting other people’s urge to […]
In my previous post, I concluded my discussion by ending with an appeal for women to take the sacrificial route, rather than demand their right to their bodies and life in the abortion debate. However, I thought more on it and realised that the debate doesn’t end there. […]
Yes, there’s a but. There was no ‘but’ before I got pregnant myself and experienced the reality and the mystery of it all. Before, there was no argument in my mind about it. I was – and still am – Pro-Life, because of my fundamental belief in God […]
The other day, someone asked me if I had any political ambitions. My answer was a flat out “NO!” Still, they insisted that since I am already on the path of social change, being a social entrepreneur, that it’s something I should consider. Good point. My answer was […]
I am no economist, nor accountant. I can’t claim business experience. However, as a social entrepreneur and thinker in my time, I dare to submit an opinion. What’s in a diamond? Everyone seems to want one. A really big one, if possible. They don’t want to eat it, […]
Yesterday, I woke up to a video on my Facebook timeline, that I’d been tagged in, of a child being horrifically abused by her care giver. I was horrified to say the least. I was mad as hell!!! So many bad emotions arose in me, and all I […]
I recently got into a debate with my sister about fornication vs homosexuality. It’s an argument that I’ve had before, and I had in mind to write a post about it, but put it off. Well, today’s passionate discussion rekindled that flame in me. I think this is […]
Are you my brother or my enemy? These days it is hard to tell! So many profess the same faith, but their actions are as diverse from yours as the many colours of the rainbow. It is hard to know who is really sincere, who’s right and who’s […]
