The Real Nativity Scene: What Is Your Response?
For many, the image of Mary, Joseph, and their newborn son, visited by wise men and shepherds, captures the essence of Christmas. However, considering there were no cameras and paparazzi in those days, any Nativity Scene picture you see is unlikely to reflect what took place on that day accurately. Yet, as we revisit this […]

Are You Sure You Have a Genuine Reason for Celebrating Your Birthday?
A dear brother asked me to give a short exhortation during a recent celebration of his mum’s 70th birthday. Three scores and ten, as the Bible describes it, is no mean achievement. Not many live to be that old, and even when they do, not all have the physical health to go with it. Therefore, […]

The State of Christianity in Ghana: Is This Faith or Attempted Magic?

If There is God, Why is There So Much Evil?
I have heard the question so often that it no longer startles me. But I must admit it wasn’t always the case. It is the favourite rebuttal against the claims of Christianity, or, call it, the supposed “knockout punch” against belief in the existence of God. “If there is God, why is there so much […]

Don’t trade true joy and pleasure for crumbs being peddled around as blessings.
