In January 2024, I watched a documentary about a popular Nigerian preacher. The documentary which alleged that the preacher severely abused several of his former members, generated a lot of opinions among Christians across the world. Some said the documentary was an attack on the body of Christ... but was it?

Is it arrogance to say that the Christian way is right?

I’ve heard people say that there’s no need to bother much about doctrine or teaching because as long as the name of Jesus is called upon in a place, all is well and good. The question, though is, which Jesus? Which Jesus is called upon? Which Jesus is preached? Is it the Jesus of the bible, or another Jesus? Which gospel are you hearing? Is it the gospel of Christ, or another gospel? Oh and just in case you’re wondering, I didn’t make this up. Let’s look at the bible...

Happy, happy, happy New Year, 2024, my dear listener! May this year be one of tremendous growth, in every good way!

Has someone ever quoted Matthew 7:1 to you where Jesus says “Do not judge”? Some say that this means we are never to make moral discernments or hold fellow Christians accountable to God’s word...

Have you met someone who says the bible is copied from other religions that came before Christianity? That different bible stories and characters, have striking similarity to those of other ancient texts? These and many more have been said about the bible, and some Christians echo these sentiments too, in the fear that all they’ve ever believed about Christianity is a lie...

Have you ever heard someone preach that poverty can lead you to sin? I’ve heard it preached many times, and you know what? It’s so true.  Poverty CAN lead you to sin. So you might be thinking at this point, what’s there to verify in today’s episode? Please stay with me a minute...

So I’ve heard several Christians say how that religion is a personal thing and we should never speak about it in public. I’ve heard Christians say that we don’t have to tell others about our beliefs, just let others be, you know, be tolerant, live and let live. Because of this philosophy, many Christians are neutral. Many are silent...

I have met people, including professing Christians, who think that the bible is an out-dated, illogical book, which goes totally against science and common sense. They believe that science contradicts the bible, and because of this, they have no confidence in it...

Have you heard people say that monogamy is unnatural, and that the Bible endorses polygamy for Christian men today? I have heard many comments like that over the years, and I thought it was just a few isolated personal opinions, until I heard that there are pastors now preaching this. Now let’s see if the bible backs it up...

On more than one occasion, I’ve heard people imply that the study of the bible is an academic activity best left for those in seminaries and bible schools and that expecting every Christian to study their bible is unrealistic, especially with busy schedules and deadlines, and yes, in our fast paced world, there’s often little time for anything that isn’t priority… but then that’s the thing; To a Christian, isn’t the matter of our faith, priority?

There’s a story in 2 kings...
