Introduction:

It is becoming more and more popular to blame Christianity, God, Jesus, and/or the Bible for just about anything that “goes against the grain” these days. Quite frankly, it's ridiculous. As the title of this article makes clear, the topic I am specifically addressing in this piece is women's rights. Those who blame Christianity and/or the Bible do so without a proper knowledge of Scripture, the culture at the time, history, and they lack hermeneutical and exeget

Sometimes God starts talking to me about twenty things at once, or maybe that's just my own silly head having about 20 thoughts going on at once... Either way, I should just start putting them all down on paper. Right? Right! I hope my blog finds you totally honest. Hey, that is one thing I can attest to, not to put my business out there, but I can be totally honest with myself and being honest with myself means being real with the world and someone else out there is going

I've had a few different careers during my working life, and they seem to have one important thing in common. Each required specific technical training and skills in order for one to become competent. Accordingly, by way of building technology and management, I finally ended up as a professional teacher, having gone to a teacher's training college and graduated with a distinction.

Sometimes you hear things, but they do not resonate, they don't hammer home their impact w

Do you desire to build up your faith?  A believing Christian needs to build up his or her faith in order to survive or succeed as a Christian. However, this is a big challenge to many, not knowing how to do so. This article points you to how to build up your faith through Christ.

So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God - Romans 10:17 (NKJV).

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we

There are many people calling themselves Christians, who follow the movement that is commonly known as the “social gospel.” According to this movement, the heart of the Christian faith is about bringing change to society by helping the poor, downtrodden and abused. 

Those who follow this teaching have no time for the idea that people need to be saved from God’s judgment. In their view, although Jesus’ death on the cross served in some way to demonstrate God’s love, it was not a sacrifice for si

On May 22, 2015, a woman Minister of God referred to men as containers bought by a woman whose contents are not known at the time of purchase. On arrival at home, opening of the containers reaveal the true contents. She said some women found beverages in their containers. Some women found sand in theirs; while many women found granite. Discoveries of women after marriage differ in respect of the true contents of their men. 

This is true. 

Are you surprised? I don't know

We live in a society where worth and value is measured by our possessions, position, and power. So many women struggle against the strain of trying to keep up and compare themselves to other women who seem to have it all. As women, we feel we are not worthy and valuable when what we do would be looked-down by most of society, hence the all too familiar game of comparison and feelings of being unworthy crouch upon us.

Especially for women, we can struggle as we try and find our worth and value

Are you feeling like giving up on that assignment, business, career or relationship? The feeling to quit can be so strong and frustrating; it occupies your whole mind and affects your reasoning. And you think that if you throw in the towel, you will have peace. I can well assure you that quitting is not the solution. This article tells you how to overcome the force of giving up the good.

Being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will comple

In Christianity, we find that many of the standard values of society are turned on their head. Things that are taken for granted by most people are often completely rejected in the Christian faith, and things that are rejected wholesale are frequently accepted with open arms. What it means to have a successful life is one example of this. Christianity and mainstream society could hardly be more different in their understandings of success in life.

Take the lives of two fictitious people we wil

The Relationship Between Knowledge and Wisdom.

Ecclesiastes 7:12 For wisdom is a defence, and money is a defence: but the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom giveth life to them that have it. 

This verse suggests that Knowledge is in an extremely close working relationship with Wisdom. The wording of the sentence seems to shift focus from " the excellency of knowledge" to "wisdom", as if some connective wording between knowledge and wisdom is missing. Without question this

In James 1:19 the apostle James tells his readers: 

“Remember this, my dear friends! Everyone must be quick to listen, but slow to speak and slow to become angry.”  

(Quotations of Scripture in this article are from the Good News Translation of the Bible.) 

Being quick to listen and slow to speak is an important principle that every Christian should be trying to follow in various areas of life. All of us have surely fallen into the trap of not listening properly and speaking too

This week, a PI Girl was expressing her honesty that she feels insecure at times in our culture that’s focused on appearance, selfishness and how we look.

There is so much pressure to post “perfect” photos on your feed on Instagram and on other social media, but it can be hard on our self-c

The story of “Laurre the Elliot” who bagged a master’s degree at the age of 90, says a lot about the fact that – where there is a will, there will always be a way – no matter the trials or pains! “Laurre the Elliot” is a proof to many that it’s never too late to fulfill your dreams. She said it was that nagging, “unfilled desire“, that prevented her from never giving up. If you want to do something badly enough – then you will be able to do it. Later on, she welcomed he

I was looking recently at a debate on YouTube between Mike Licona and Greg Cavin on the resurrection of Jesus.  One of the arguments that Cavin used against the resurrection caught my attention and I have been thinking about it since.  I think I am right in saying that it is an argument that was also used by the 18th century humanist, David Hume. 

The argument from probability against Jesus’ resurrection 

The argument I have in mind is the one that Cavin used concerning probabili
