In my quiet time, recently, I read a scripture in the book of 1st Chronicles that talked about Reuben, the firstborn son of Jacob. I was intrigued by his story and decided to do a few scriptural background checks on him. The result gave me a humbling revelation. Reuben had it going well until lust had a field day and ruined…More
Beloved, I cannot guarantee you a magic potion to landing a fancy Disney marriage, but I can guarantee you wisdom to not landing a horrible one. And because godly marriages are miles better than Disney fantasies, here are five reasons why some young Christian women are not ready for godly relationships that lead to thriving marriages. Speaking ill of marriage and relationships What do you reckon…More
In the 21st Century we have a generation that professes to be Christian but has forgotten how to blush at entertainment that spits in the face of God- a generation of professing believers that conforms to the world and thinks that Christ Jesus complies. If you call yourself a Christian, Jesus has a lot to say about the entertainment you…More
Below are three unbiblical statements that some Christians often use that are not true. God helps those who help themselves This statement is not in the Bible. The intended meaning of this statement is often to encourage men and women not to sit around when their lives fall apart but to actually do something. While God-given freewill is noble, this…More
Hi, Ernest. I am born again believer. I have a question. Is it okay that believers participate in debates about faith, morality and God? Why do we have to prove to others what we believe? Can’t God fight for himself? Thank you for the question. It is a very good one. We are living in an age in history where…More

This thing about your name on a Coke bottle is great! If you don’t like it, don’t take it badly. It’s nothing personal. Really, it’s not that they chose to ignore you or anything. It’s just that…well…how do I put this? It’s just that your name is Kiogora. If it’s any consolation, I haven’t yet found one with the name…More
Boniface Nyoike is a good friend of mine. I invited him to speak at the Men of Integrity (Mo1) ministry that I lead at CITAM Valley Road mid this year. Apologies for the distractions in the recording at the start. If you are a man, I urge you to be humble, teachable and listen. Listen. Generally speaking, we men hardly…More
Yesterday morning, I was driving with my wife and three friends to Nakuru. I was the preacher of the day at Nakuru’s Christ Is the Answer Ministries (CITAM) Church. The speed limit is 100 kph on the highway to Nakuru. Like a good citizen I maintained the legal speed until I approached the escarpment slope. Many cars were zooming past…More
Have you ever differed so strongly with someone that the mere thought of having the conversation go on would mean knocking someone’s jaw out? Though you exercised restraint, you realized that you could have dealt with the issue with more maturity. I confront issues a lot; however I am not a fan of online confrontations, especially on sensitive issues with…More
I played football in high school. I was a number 5 defender and I did a pretty good job at it. Like many other players, I had a substitute. Whenever I got injured, fatigued or I under-performed, I was asked by the coach to take the bench and a fresh player would take my position. At times, you have to…More
I was a church worship leader in high school. With a team of more vocally and musically talented folks than myself, I led the Praise and Worship team for about two years. I am not a professional singer. You may wonder how exactly I was leading the worship team. Well, let’s just say I can tell an off-key tune, I’m not…More
I came from work one Thursday evening, tired, hungry and bogged down with 99 other problems that I can’t remember right now. We had just moved houses and I was less than pleased that a few of our things were still in moving boxes. I walked into our cul-de-sac and could already imagine the sumptuous meal that Turi, my wife,…More
Assuredly I say unto thee, the controversy in this blog title will generate legendary traffic. Why so? A regular reader will know that I am a follower of Jesus Christ, born-again and awed by his Grace and Mercy. And so in light of that, they may ask themselves, “Did he really once get drunk?” The thing is, I don’t really…More
Would you bribe 500 KES to avoid paying 10,000 KES? My wife and I normally don’t use Raul (our car) on weekdays. We use the buses and public transport to get between places, chiefly because Nairobi traffic contributes to insanity. It’s a theory but many will agree that it needs no proving. However, we make exceptions when we know we…More
