Reforming the Pulpit.
Though the echoes of the sixteenth century reformation that began in a small city of Wittenberg went far beyond Luther’s imagination, it barely reached Africa. The time the pre-modern and modern mission pioneers brought the gospel to Africa, there were already too many contending theologies that sometimes overshadowed reformed theology. Consequently, reformed theology in its full splendor never…

African Worldview: Morality
Morality refers to one’s basic life values and way of life. It has to do with the standard of what is right and wrong. The questions about morality have become even more complex in the post-modern world. However, answers to questions of morality lie in our ethics, that is what and how we ought to do, live and behave.
African Traditional Morality.
Principle of harmony: This means everything must…

Why does a Christian worldview matter?
Why does a Christian worldview matter?
Humans do not act randomly, out of nowhere. Our thought processes are foundational to our actions. The way we act follows the way we think. The two cannot be separated. This can be summed by the common phrase “Ideas have consequences.” There is no part of the world, community or society that does not have its own ideas, shaping how they view themselves and the world around. This is called…

Reformed Theology Part III: Reformed worship.
Reformed Theology Part III: Reformed worship.
In the previous post, we looked at the theology of church governance. The reformers did not only aim to reform local church governance but also its worship. Reformed theology has a strong emphasis on worship. It perpetuates from private worship at homes to the corporate worship in congregational meetings. In this article, I will layout a summary of reformed private worship at homes, followed by a…

Reformed Theology Part II: Reformed Ecclesiology.
Reformed Theology Part II: Reformed Ecclesiology.
In the previous article, we looked at the foundation of reformed theology. We discussed reformed principles such as its centredness in God, doctrines of grace (Calvinism), covenant theology etc. The protestant reformation was not only about conceptual theology, but it was also about the practical of church governance. After breaking from Rome, the reformers sought to reform their local churches…

Reformed Theology Part I: Reformed Principles
Some people tent to associate, even define reformed theology with mere Calvinism. It is true, Calvinism is part of reformed theology, but it does not exhaust it. This begs a question, what is reformed theology? In answering this question, the following articles, do not intend to offer an exhaustive definition of reformed theology nor do I intend to offer a detailed exposition of each tenet of the…

The Sovereignty of God Pt.5
The Sovereignty of God Pt.5

Everyone would admit that this is the result of…

The Sovereignty of God Pt.4
The Sovereignty of God Pt.4
Taoism is a Chinese spiritual, philosophy and religious tradition, based in the writings of Laotzu. One of the well-known and documented concept within Taoism is “yin yang.” It has two halves that together complete wholeness. Yin and yang are also the starting point for change. When something is whole, by definition it is unchanging and complete. So when you split something into halves –…

The sovereignty of God Pt.3
The sovereignty of God Pt.3
Let us supposed for a moment that God has no control over the earth. For the sake of the argument, lets say, God created the world and then withdrew, leaving the world to its future under the laws of nature and absolute free men. If this were the case, we would have a world with unstoppable chaos and anarchies. Therefore, for this reason, God should be sovereign over everything.
God is sovereign…

The sovereignty of God Pt.2
The sovereignty of God is one of the most important doctrines in Bible. As is it linked to the eternal character of God. One cannot worship Him with authentic worship without embracing His sovereignty. Being ignorant and unacquainted with God’s sovereignty leads to idolatry. In our previous blog post, we define the sovereignty of God. Now I want us to consider the extent or scope God’s…

The Sovereignty of God Pt.1.
I open with I Chronicles 29:11, “Yours, O Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, indeed everything that is in the heavens and the earth; Yours is the dominion, O Lord, and You exalt Yourself as head over all.” God’s sovereignty is the attribute by which He rules His entire creation. And to be sovereign God means, must be all-knowing, all powerful, and…

A Paradigm of Our View of God.
A Paradigm of Our View of God.
Many years ago A.W Tozer wrote, “What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us.” That is to say, the concept of God that quickly comes into our minds is the most determinative factor of everything about us. Our ideal of who God is affects the whole worldview that we have and shapes our understanding of reality. How we view God, determines both our…
