“Only remember me, when it is well with you, and please do me the kindness to mention me to Pharaoh, and so get me out of this house. For I was indeed stolen out of the land of the Hebrews, and here also I have done nothing that they should put me into the pit.” Genesis 40:14,15 How…

The Quiet Witness of Sarah
In the grand story of God’s redemption, Sarah might not be seen as a significant figure. Of course, she partakes of God’s promise to Abraham as his wife. And she is naturally recognized because it’s through her that the child of promise is born (Genesis 17:21). God also changes her name to indicate her status…
Why Apologetics Matter
Introduction It was probably the book Ready With An Answer, jointly authored by John Ankerberg and John Weldon, which first exposed me to the genre of Christian writing known as apologetics. I had grown up and come to Christ in an environment that had no room for doctrine, theology, or creeds, let alone apologetics. My…
Book Review: Not the Way It’s Supposed to Be, by Cornelius Plantinga, Jr.
This is a lively and erudite discussion of a somber but necessary topic. Few preachers today discuss it, yet there is probably no concept today which requires greater emphasis. We are all about grace and love. However, we cannot understand grace if we do not get the perverse and manifold nature of sin. As it…
Counting my Blessings
As 2021 draws to a close, it is essential to reflect on God’s blessing and favours. The popular hymn by Johnson Oatman, Jr. especially reminds us of this. We tend to forget the many acts of love he performs daily in our lives. So I pondered the blessings I have received from his hands, just…

Who is Jesus?
We cannot answer this question without first asking who God is. And according to scripture, God is the being who created all things and on whom all things depend (Genesis 1:1; Acts 17:24-28). Jesus is the Son of God who came into the world to redeem it. Here are some things we learn from the…
Book Note: Not By Bread Alone, by David Broughton Knox
Thinking biblically about contemporary matters is a vital need for Christians. While there is an abundance of ministries teaching some aspect of the Christian life or another, there are not so many resources providing a biblical understanding of modern social challenges and topics. This book is one of few meeting such a need. At less…
Pray for Nigeria!
Since the beginning of the year, I have followed the praying schedule published by Operation World. Today, I get to pray for my own country, Nigeria. Nigeria is a special and strategic country in Africa. This is not an attempt at nationalistic pride; it is a fact. The country influences much within the continent and…
God’s Plan for Unity
World unity is no longer a distant goal; it is already an unfolding reality. If only the nations and leaders of the world would embrace the Christ and his Church in which this unity is being realized. According to Paul, the working out of God’s redemption in Christ brings about a unity between God’s erstwhile…
