Practical application of Pentecostal theology in politics, economy and social issues
“And now, because you have done all these works,” says the LORD, “and I spoke to you, rising up early and speaking, but you did not hear, and I called you, but you did not answer” (Jeremiah 7:13). The works the Lord is referring to are actions and activities of wickedness. Did the Lord just […]

Our adversary is no idiot; he knows his time is limited, and this explains the prevailing brute force wielded against all of humanity – the Body of Christ included. The shadows of the Tribulation are increasingly menacing as the Bride of Christ is all set to go in the twinkling of an eye. The evil […]

Ten years ago, and most probably five, things could have been closer to a humdrum routine. Church attendance, prayer meetings, Bible study sessions, and those large prophecy conferences like the one in Branson in Missouri, if not Colorado Springs! All against a backdrop of prophetic activity that seemingly chugs with the pace of a stack […]

During the first week of August 2022, one of my favorites from the 1960s music scene passed on. Judith Durham was the lead singer in the Australian group known as the Seekers. There was a unique characteristic in their musical style, a softer and gentler tone that appealed to all age groups. Much of it […]

Some three-plus decades ago, I could count myself as being part of a stain that would be on my country’s demography.

The Word of God advises us to “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour” (1 Peter 5:8). Interestingly enough, there are multitudes of people who profess to be Christians but pay little or no regard to the above-said piece of timely advice. […]

“And He answered and said to them, ‘Have you not read that He who made them at the beginning ‘made them male and female,’ and said, ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’? So then, they are no […]

“We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed” (2 Corinthians 4:8-9). Recall what it was like not long after the promulgation of the Great Reset – this resembled a life sentence for no felony! The spring of 2021 […]

“You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures” (James 4:3). The MAGA drumbeat that characterized the forty-fifth President’s term in the United States of America enveloped a sizeable number of practicing Christians. No questions asked; there was a significant rollback of many of the policies […]
