In a world that often feels overshadowed by uncertainty, conflict, and fear, the message of the Christian faith comes with unshakable confidence: darkness cannot overcome the light. This is not a political slogan or a phrase written for a movie, but a truth grounded in the very nature of God and revealed in Jesus Christ.…

The New Testament consistently reminds us that Jesus will come again—not as a suffering servant, but as the glorious King and righteous Judge (Acts 1:11; Revelation 22:12). His return is not meant to frighten His people but to bring them victory and reward. For the early church, the Second Coming was not a distant doctrine…

The ancient Greeks had two words for time: chronos and kairos. While chronos is quantitative, kairos is qualitative. Chronos is about minutes; kairos is about moments. Chronos refers to clock time—time that can be measured in seconds, minutes, hours, and years. Kairos, however, refers to the right moment, the opportune moment, a defining moment, the…

We celebrate the Feast of Christ the King on 23rd November. It marks the final Sunday of the church calendar; the following week, we step into the season of Advent with renewed anticipation. As we pause at this threshold, we are invited to contemplate our King—Jesus Christ—whose kingship is unlike any the world has ever…

Balanced Christianity avoids two extremes. This balance requires intentionality and awareness of…

The prosperity gospel, with its appealing promises of health and wealth, draws many adherents. However, a significant concern for biblical scholars and church leaders is its distinctive method of interpreting Scripture. Rather than a holistic and contextual reading, the prosperity gospel frequently relies on a selective interpretation of Scripture, often extracting verses from their intended…

The allure of the “health and wealth” gospel is undeniably powerful. In a world fraught with uncertainty, illness, and financial strain, a message promising divine favor, material blessings, and perfect health can sound like a beacon of hope. Yet, this comforting narrative often taps into profound human vulnerabilities, ultimately deceiving rather than delivering genuine spiritual…

The Lausanne Movement has helpfully defined the prosperity gospel in these words: “We define prosperity gospel as the teaching that believers have a right to the blessings of health and wealth and that they can obtain these blessings through positive confessions of faith and the ‘sowing of seeds’ through the faithful payments of tithes and…

In every generation, the church is called to examine the message it is living and proclaiming. One challenge that quietly creeps into Christian life today is the prosperity gospel—also described as over-realized eschatology. This teaching suggests that God’s chief desire is to make us healthy, wealthy, and comfortable. While God indeed blesses His people, Scripture…
