Cultural traditions influence Christianity in two significant ways: they can either express and embody the faith or distort and rival it. From a historic Christian perspective, “true Christianity” centers on Jesus Christ, the gospel, and Scripture—not on any single culture. However, the gospel is always lived out within a specific…
All Honor Is Reserved for God Alone
If honor is reserved for positions of power, then perhaps no one truly deserves it. Interestingly, there is no record of Jesus ever accepting honor during His time on earth. He focused on being one with His Father, but did not claim His Father’s honor for Himself. As humans, we…
Electoral Supervision Unnecessary in a Christian World
UN electoral supervision is often considered essential in post-conflict or fragile states to ensure fairness, transparency, and legitimacy in elections. It is viewed as a means of preventing fraud, building institutional capacity, and reinforcing democratic norms—especially where domestic oversight is weak or biased. Although not always necessary, the UN’s impartial…
Black People Need No Liberation from Black Identity
There is no legitimate room for categorizing people by race or class, yet society largely accepts such categorization as normal. I would like to pose a question: which of the two racial groups—Blacks or Whites—needs liberation more urgently? Is it correct to suggest that those who are constantly degraded because…
Christianity and Its Impact on Politics
The true purpose of Christianity is to serve others at one’s own expense, following the example set by Jesus. Throughout His life, Jesus devoted Himself to the benefit of others rather than to His own gain. He taught His disciples to live similarly, encouraging each of them to carry their…
Confronting the Misunderstood Bifocal Beginnings
Eternity cannot be defined by a beginning, nor can it be limited to what is observable by human eyes. This conundrum is evident to physical humanity, which does not resemble God’s image, since God’s essence has no defined beginning or end. Thus, the term “beginning” is colloquial; without God’s revelation,…

Love and Affinity Love is a condition found in God more than among humans. Many people struggle in marriage because they mistake love for affinity. Affinity resembles love, but it is conditional; love is unconditional. As 1 Corinthians 13:5 says, love does not dishonor others and is not self-seeking. We…
The Fulfillment of God’s Promises Is Inevitable
Noah believed God, and the promises of deliverance were unavoidable. Although human beings are frail, Abraham also pleased God, and it was on Abraham’s faith that the nation of Israel was established. After leaving Egypt, the Israelites were promised physical blessings in the land of Canaan. God would bless them…
The Paradox of God’s Children Coexisting with the Sons of Men
A short circuit in electrical wiring is a serious concern. It can cause overheating, damage electrical components, and even start fires. When current suddenly surges through an unintended path with little or no resistance, the consequences can be severe if the problem is not addressed promptly. Understanding what a short…
Christianity and the Challenges of an Unworkable Marriage
God hates divorce because it tears apart a covenant of love designed to reflect His own faithfulness. Divorce often brings betrayal, injustice, and deep wounds to those He loves. Yet God does not hate divorced individuals. The key scripture is Malachi 2:16: “For I hate divorce, says the LORD God…
