On God and evil
Skeptics often point to the existence of evil as an argument against the existence of a good God.

5 reasons I thank God for the Nigerian Church
Let me be clear: the Nigerian Church* is weak. And I believe it is a problem that extends beyond this nation to the entire African continent and even across the globe.
