The Anti-Satan Drug

Christianity is like the Anti-Retroviral (ARV) Drug. Whether you take it or not is your choice. If it does not kill you then it will definitely lead you to a better state of health. If you do not take it you will die and if you take it you will experience a better state of health than if you hadn’t, and then you will die.

And yes the drug must be taken for the rest of your life. If you at any moment cease to take your medication then you will be far worse off than if you had not taken the drug in the first place. It must be taken appropriately, too much can kill you and too little will not help you.

Fashion, Pretty girls and Old friends in the Church

I admit I go to church for a number of really stupid reasons. Firstly, I go to church to catch up on the latest fashions, what’s hot-what’s not-what works with what. It’s so entertaining seeing all those men and women all dressed up in eye-catching outfits, walking down the aisle in single file to give their offering. Clothes, shoes, amazing hairdo’s, accessories, class and good taste, it’s all there. Hell I’m never going to be invited to the FAME Malawi Fashion Week and you definitely have to pay to see people dressed up at a fashion show so yeah I might as well just see it for free at the church. They are all poised, trying to make a dignified and graceful walk past me, aware of how fine they look. It’s such a beautiful sight, so captivating, except of course those few who make very bad fashion choices and look horrible.

How to marry an Angel and a Demon

Sometimes I feel like I have found me a wife, the right person to marry. And sometimes I feel like I could do better. How do you know who is the right person to marry? How does one find the perfect partner when all human beings are by design flawed?

And they say go with your gut or instincts and others say trust your heart to know the right person but currently my gut and heart are very useless for they are just as confused as I am. Sure there are a lot of things I like about her but then there are a lot of other things I do not like as well. How do you strike a balance? How can you be sure you will live the rest of your life with peace of mind over any decision you make now, for or against?

A Life well Lived

The Corporate /working world is overrated. Think about it, if you get to work for 20 years and get to build a mansion and have all the wealth you wanted who does your life benefit but yourself, your family and friends, and sometimes maybe the odd stranger? So, if you are working for a company this is all you could ever be, ever achieve.

When you work for God however the value of your life exceeds merely providing for your needs, the needs of your family and friends, and bits of charity here and there. When you work for God you reach out to strangers, some people you don’t know and some you will never meet. So you achieve much much more than you would if you worked a 7am to 5pm job for the same number of years, say 20.

Fight for Us!

When you find your wife or husband in bed with another man or woman there’s only two ways you can react. You can either loose it and beat the Bloody Mary’s out of the guy trying to fit into your shoes or you can be overwhelmed with shock and just decide to leave. The next step after this though must be thought out very carefully before you take it.

Suppose you decide to pack your things and leave the marriage. Biblically you are within your rights to leave  as the bible allows you to divorce a cheating spouse(Matthew 19:9), my interpretation. But before you leave ask yourself, if you are so ready to leave the life you had with your partner, all the things you have been through together just like that then was that relationship worth anything to you at all?

Once upon a Beautiful Man

Every once in a while I admit to myself that there are beautiful men in this world. Not good-looking or handsome but beautiful. Just as there are women who walk in a room and turn male and female heads there are men in this world gifted with goods that make man and woman alike stare. You look at them and they are just so perfect, so smart, so appetizing to the taste-buds of the eyes. You think to yourself, if he is a man then who am I? Is it an angel I see or am I dreaming dreams?

As much as I appreciate the beautiful men in my society and my world I have never been driven to desire them as I would a woman. Of all my sinful thoughts and sinful lusts never have I desired to have sexual relations with a fellow man. The thought just never occurred to me. 

Silence not a Virtue

I have been silent for about 8 months. In the time I have been away from you I have stolen a carpet, stolen an extension cable, participated in corrupting the Road Traffic Department, taken money that wasn’t mine. I have wished evil on several people, been filled with anger and fury over trivial matters, been impatient with men when I should have known better, and have imagined several women naked. Yes I have been very busy and very naughty.

All this I did while I was still a Christian, all these while I was still a servant of God. Yes I still believe in God the Father, Jesus the Son and the Holy Spirit but not the Holy Catholic Church (I donno what the HCC is even though it is in the Apostle’s Creed). So the question now arises: If I as a believing, practicing, spirit-filled Christian did all these things and fell into such folly how different am I from the average guy on the street who doesn’t care about God? To ask it differently, how am I different from you, him or her there?
