In 1988, when I was leaving Ghana for Canada to pursue my graduate education, a Ghanaian woman in the program was given the writing task to advise me on preparing for the journey. Though I do not have the letter with me as I write, I remember one thing pretty well from the letter. She …

I am not against building a cathedral by any church in Ghana that can afford to do so without the involvement of the secular world or the government. Often, we do things as mundane activities without much reflection or thoughtfulness. It is important as thoughtful Christians to question every decision and action we take theologically, …

One can only understand some of the unbiblical teaching of prosperity preachers against the backdrop of the Word of Faith theology which they espouse. Let me state at the outset that I believe in the power of God to heal and to destroy the work of the devil, but I am against any heretical teaching …

People have asked me whether there is a connection between the COVID-19 Vaccine and the Mark of the Beast as described in the book of Revelation 13:18. The book of Revelation has become one of the sources of the conspiracy theories because of the unique way the book was written for its 1st-century hearers. The …
The modern materialistic culture that has become commonplace in Christianity runs at variance with Christ’s teaching on wealth and poverty. While Christ did not teach socialism or asceticism, he did not also teach materialism; instead, he taught and cautioned his disciples about the allurement of wealth or materialism. Christ in Luke 18:25 said, “It is …
When a disaster happens, people ask, “Where is God?” Where was God when a gunman took a gun and went and sat in a church pew, planning to attack or massacre God’s people who were in a church worshiping God? Why didn’t God vaporize the guy, or why didn’t he cause him to be killed …
The Christian tradition tells us that Jesus Christ came into this world to redeem people from the curse of the Law, having become a curse on our behalf. Mark Gospel tells us that “the Son of man came to give his life as a ransom for many.” He came to die to liberate many from …

Someone would ask, reliable as what? Shouldn’t we be concerned with the reliability of the New Testament as a witness to God’s self revelation in Christ instead of its reliability as historical facts? My response is that the two are important, because Christianity claims to be a historical revelation in the real person of Christ …
The internal test determines whether the written record is credible and to what extent. This test tries to gauge the authors? ability to tell the truth, as well as the internal consistencies and inconsistencies within the manuscript. The ability of the writer to tell the truth is closely related to how close the witness was …

In the case cited earlier, in yesterday’s post, I pointed out that it is not the use of the word “begotten” that makes Christ divine, but it is rather the panoply of references from the scriptures that caused the church fathers to come to that conclusion.
