Here are some of the questions and comebacks I get from people when I challenge the practice of tithing. I find that the questions are usually biased towards not changing the norm rather than from the perspective of someone who truly wants to understand what the truth is. […]
I love the Bible. I love it so much! I love it flaws and all… But whenever people try to tell me that it is flawless and inerrant, I feel like they have taken away from the book I love. I wonder if we read the same Bible. […]
Jesus: “Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up. Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.” (Matthew 15:13-14). That’s so rude, Jesus! How can you call them […]
Okay, before you call me an alarmist, hear me out! I think we live in a world where it is taken for granted that what is the status quo is good and right. The status quo is standard. The status quo has history and authority. We assume that […]
Of all the dumb things that Christians say, “I still pay my tithes” has to be right up there with the worst! You will usually hear this comeback from a Believer who has their fingers in their ears, as you are trying to tell them why they are […]
“Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God” (Romans 13:1). Okay, it’s been a while since I wrote about my Bible reading journey. It’s not because I haven’t come across some […]
Something has been troubling me for a while now. I don’t really know how to put it in words, but I’ll try. A book I am reading and hoping to review by F. Remy Diederich, called “Broken Trust”, has also motivated me to look deeper into this. There […]
“Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits” (Matt 7:15-16). We have this stark warning from Jesus in Scripture, but it is amazing how few of us take heed of this. The […]
Hey, y’all. It’s been a long hiatus from The Spotlight, but I had to put it on the back burner last month. I was overwhelmed, and I am still quite overwhelmed with much that I am doing to push my first book out into the world. Please bear […]
This post has been a long time coming… It has been in my drafts for a few months, and I saw it earlier this week and said I must get around to writing it asap. I also find it particularly relevant to something I’ve been going through. So, […]
This question was asked in a group I manage on WhatsApp. It doesn’t relate to any particular post I have written, but I believe the lessons and answer I gave are important to share. It was posed: This issue keeps bothering through my mind pls i need your […]
As a blogger, it is easy to change, as you learn so much everyday from what you share and what you read from others. But it can be hard to admit change, for the same reason. Because you already put yourself out there. All your strongly held views […]
“And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves, and said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the […]
It’s been a while since I sat down to write a new post for my site. I’ve been busy promoting my new book and publishing others. I am sorry if I have been scarce on your site… It’s nothing personal. Just got lots on and looking forward to […]
It’s been a while since I spotlighted one of her pieces, but this lady is not new to the house! I’ve been a fan of her writings for close to two years now. Today, she talks about a really topical issue, concerning the violent attacks that have been […]
