Christmas is almost here. During this season, we celebrate the birth of a man who lived more than 2000 years ago. Many other people are also celebrated. However, none has stood the test of time while at the same time being as widely celebrated as Christ. Why so? Unlike the others, we go out of our way to celebrate someone who, by all accounts, seemed quite insignificant at the time of his death. Looking into history as told in the gospels, we read of how Christ confessed that he had nowhere to lay his head (Matthew 8:20).

When asked what they know about Jesus, many will rightly state his popularly known virtues of compassion (Matthew 9:36), forgiveness (Luke 23:34), generosity (Mark 10:45), love (John 13:34), and mercy (Ephesians 5:2). These, of course, are wonderful characteristics of our Lord Jesus Christ. However, the big problem comes when people emphasize these virtues at the expense of Jesus’s zeal for the truth (John 2:16-17), his being Lord of all (John 13:13, Philippians 2:8-11), his hatred for sin (John 9:39, John 5:22-23), and the reality of hell (2 Timothy 4:1, Acts 10:42, Revelation 20:15). Emphasizing one’s preferred characteristics of Jesus and disregarding the less popular ones is detrimental since it gives a wrong image of who Christ really is.

As self-help methods and philosophies continue gaining ground, many people strive to achieve their dreams and goals by all means possible. In this same vein of achieving goals and dreams, we meet the popular term ‘manifesting’. This terminology is commonly used thanks to social media publicity, self-help books, and motivational speakers. In this context, Manifesting refers to how people can bring their desires into reality by focusing on positive thinking, visualization, and affirmations.

Although forgiveness is freely offered, it was paid for by someone. How can you obtain forgiveness from God? On what basis will you say God should forgive your sin? He cannot forgive your sins by merely overlooking them. He cannot because he is just. God always does what is right. If God must punish sin, what is your hope of obtaining forgiveness?

We cannot ignore our African culture and must work hard at communicating the gospel for our specific context. The Old Testament can be a powerful tool for the church’s task in Africa. In this podcast, we will outline reasons why we believe this is the case.

In our modern secular culture, we are okay with a Jesus who is not Lord over our lives. We often like to create a caricature of Jesus because of the incessant human desire to be in charge of our own lives. How do you view Jesus?

Though mankind constantly innovates and invents new technology, our hearts haven’t changed. Like the Israelites, we often tilt towards wanting the next thing that appeals to us, independently of God. Just as Israel feared missing out on the so-called benefits of the idol worship around them, we can’t help but tune into what appeals to our senses.

When we, as Christians, are tempted, we know how destructive sin can be at first glance. But at the moment of sin, we make light of it. In our minds, we diminish its ugliness, which blurs its apparent consequences. Join us as we discuss the deceitfulness of sin.

Failure is not pleasant. And in today’s world, where people carefully curate their successes on their social media pages, it can feel as if everyone else is succeeding and leaving you behind.
