Is the Church full of Hypocrites?

September 30th, 201004:34 PM ET

By Olabode Ososami

R.C Sproul wrote an article you may have read on the question of hypocrisy in the Church. I have quoted the article with some of my few thoughts. In addition there are posts listed relating to this very pertinent issue. In the book of Job it is written Job 15[34] For the congregation of hypocrites shall be desolate, and fire shall consume the tab...

Ponder for a moment ... if Paul was going to be so valuable to the cause of the Kingdom - to pen most of the New Testament, then why was it not divinely arranged that he should be one of the Disciples. Surely he would have done at least a little better than Thaddeus or “doubtful” Thomas. We know at least 4 of the others - Simon Peter (Andrew�...

A good business plan is acknowledged to be a critical requirement for the successful start-up of any business idea. This is because a good business plan enables you, as the initiator of the business, to articulate your business idea(s), vision and aspirations; and to communicate to potential investors, helpers and partners (in a convincing manner) ...

Recently, I saw an inspiring praise video and in admiration sought to find out more about the talented musician superstar gospel singer and pastor who composed the beautiful arrangements and featured as the lead vocal.

The last words of Martin Luther ...“No one can understand Vergil's Bucolics unless he has been a shepherd for five years. No one can understand Vergil's Georgics, unless he has been a farmer for five years... No one can understand Cicero's Letters , unless he has busied himself in the affairs of some prominent state for twenty years...Know that n...
Emergent Bono–Christianity and faceless church members like Amplias, Stachys, Herodion, Persis, Tryphena and Phlegon.

I found an interesting article by Rev. Kevin de Young titled the “The Glory of Plodding”... Kevin De Young writes “ It’s sexy among young people — my generation — to talk about ditching institutional religion and starting a revolution of real Christ-followers living in real community without the confines of church. Besides being u...
The Cross ... its true meaning by Zac Poonen

Chapter 53 of Isaiah is the chapter of the cross and begins with a question: “Who has believed our message?” Who in Israel would believe what Isaiah prophesied that the Messiah would come, not with power, but as a despised person, as a root out of a dry ground? “He grew up before His Father” (Isa.53.2). The secret of Jesus’ life was that...

In the times of abundant iniquity, the love of many - Jesus Christ said would grow cold. In the bid to survive even as media networks fan the fiery embers of fear for fiendish gain ...as increased competitiveness for scarce resources and harsh economic climate persists – many must find themselves vulnerable to a hardening that always comes surrep...
Quran Burning and the Emerging Christophobia

Publicity is raising record-high awareness and interest in Islam and a growing acceptance amongst “humanist” masses who - at least by default - increasingly present the Bible as odious. I recall the prophetic observation of my friend Mark Lipdo in Jos, during recent genocides against Christians in Nigeria ... “Christians are perplexed by wh...
Custodians of God's wealth

By Olabode Ososami

We are custodians of God’s wealth. We are stewards and not owners. All things come from God – all things are by His grace. There is nothing that we have that did not come from Him. Never get into thinking that it is your money. The more of God you see in your money, the better a steward you will be. We know the parable of the talents. ...

The Demographic Bomb – The Problem is not Islam. Part II

September 01st, 201005:21 PM ET

Lately, I saw a video on Muslim Demographics that got me thinking. Watch it (below) and form your own opinion on the issues. The Roman Empire expanded by conquest controlling extremely vast territories through military might and bureaucracies. As birth rate amongst the Romans declined, the armies and bureaucracies began to be dominated by peoples ...
