Hey y’all… As I am writing this, it’s 3:53am, the morning after binge watching the first four episodes of the new TV series “God Friended Me”. I got a burden about the time I was going to bed to write about this series on The Spotlight, but I […]
Even without religion, God is. There’s something I’ve been meditating on, trying to get an understanding and revelation about. The process of our growth in God, how we come into a relationship with Him, how we mature or grow through that relationship, whether or not it’s defined, and […]
I have been passionate for God since I was a child, and have been influenced by stories of Abraham, Moses and Samuel who heard God speak to them and call them out specially. I didn’t think God was going to call me like that, but I wanted to […]
Over the last couple of days, I’ve been musing on Feminism, as a Feminist and a Christian. Following Chimamanda Adichie’s faux pas to Hillary Clinton, and reading an exceptional take by a friend of mine on the subject, I’ve been challenged to address the validity and relevance of […]
“…if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know” (1 Corinthians 8:2). The danger of radicalism is that you can be radically wrong. So, I’ve said it, point blank, and I am now going to buttress on it. You […]
Last night, I started musing on how the Bible is like a maze on Instagram. It was a revelation that came to me, as I was reading a fictional novel about marriage, domestic abuse and infidelity. I was trying to comprehend how to apply all of what God […]
A while ago, I met a man, who said he’s an Agnostic, but if he had a gun to his head, he would say he is an Atheist! Concerning his perspective of Christianity, he simply shook his head and laughed and said “Christianity is a JOKE!” Furthermore, he […]
The expression “follow the money” is well known among journalists seeking to find the source of corruption, particularly in government and big business. It apparently originated from the movie “All The Presidents Men”. Most people who are looking to prosper or get rich quick also tend to “follow […]
Hans Christian Anderson told a powerful story called “The Emperor’s New Clothes”. I think every adult in this day and age should be familiar with that story. The story is about an emperor who is deceived by con men pretending to be tailors, who offer to make him […]
“Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all […]
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. […]
A young man and friend who read my book, The Church Girl, asked me the other day – “What’s the significance of the ring?” He referred to the scene where Mary was returning Ifeanyi’s ring to him, and was wondering why women need or want a ring with a […]
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. […]
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 […]
