Practical application of Pentecostal theology in politics, economy and social issues
The world, as everyone is familiar with, has now ended up in the pages of history. A new normal that has quite an unpleasant aftertaste is almost set to be hanging around for some time. For the many that believe in the pre-tribulation rapture of the church, the state of the planet in its current […]

“For when they speak great swelling words of emptiness, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through lewdness, the ones who have actually escaped from those who live in error. While they promise liberty, they themselves are slaves of corruption; for by whom a person is overcome, by him also he is brought into […]

Replacement theology has a huge following; roughly one billion people around the world subscribe to this unbiblical doctrine – one-tenth of this number are Americans. It is all about a brand of Christianity minus the mention of Israel and Jewry in their teachings. If there is any talk of God’s chosen people in their sermons […]

As I continue on the path less traveled, a song that marked my first year in school resonates within the confines of my cerebral cortex. Walking with Jesus, Walking every day, walking all the way. Walking with Jesus, Walking with Jesus alone. Walking in the sunshine, Walking in the shadows, Walking every day, walking all […]

Ideology has been and still is the devil’s sledgehammer of torment against the Body of Believers. Totalitarian regimes base their actions against specific groups of individuals that run counter to their ideology. The woke ideology has, of late, been the driving force behind the persecution of people who stick to the inerrant Word of God. […]

My one and only trip to Israel had more than a profound effect on my present-day psyche. It might have been three decades ago, but there is more than a lingering aftertaste. It happened smack in the last fortnight of the year. Surprisingly absent were the familiar sights and sounds of the Christmas most people […]

“Then to Adam He said, ‘Because you have heeded the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree of which I commanded you, saying “You shall not eat of it”: ‘Cursed is the ground for your sake; In toil you shall eat of it All the days of your life. Both thorns and […]

“Because you say, ‘I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’—and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind and naked” (Revelation 3:17). Present-day churches have quite an intricate structure which is very much the case in large secular corporations. Order must be in the house of worship, but when […]

Despite the spiritual darkness that is ongoing and seemingly ceaseless, there are certain voices calling out for a revival across the globe. Great! But is there any understanding of what qualifies as a revival in the context of walking with Christ? “If My people who are called by my Name will humble themselves, and pray […]

A lot of people like me who grew up in the 1960s and 1970s have fond memories of what was on prime-time television. One common denominator was blazing like a shining torch – good always triumphed over evil. Be it a cop show, cowboy western, or wartime actioner – the bad guys always emerged the […]

In train wrecks of varying magnitudes, the carnage spills over from the pulpit into the pews. A good many never saw this moment coming; a sizeable bunch of these churchgoers is still reeling from the shell shock in utter denial and disbelief — how on earth did we get to see the unthinkable at point-blank […]

“Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves coverings” (Genesis 3:7). Here is how the present selfie nonsense began. Eyes would focus on the need for coverings; much of it would be of an elaborate nature. How a […]
