By Olabode Ososami

Tomorrow shall be my dancing day is an English “traditional” Christmas carol I found though difficult to sing yet so inspiring in that it is Jesus Himself singing joyfully through His life awaiting the dance with His true love and bride the Church urging His bride to also sing in joyful anticipation. The first dance between the bride and ...
Favourite Bible Shopping lists for Christmas

By Olabode Ososami

It is the period for lists ... more exactly I mean shopping and gift lists, as malls are crowded with people. Lists are necessary so we do not rely only on our memory for things that are important. Every item on a shopping list has a price, be it a mink coat, Ipad or a Christmas card - and may often require that we forgo something else ...

It was late morning of Saturday, December 18, 2010 - the last day of the year's Holy Ghost Congress. Pastor Adeboye’s unusual guests virtually took over the spacious office. It was the crew of t...
Nero and Criminalising of Christianity

December 09th, 201112:47 PM ET

By Olabode Ososami

In my recent book Perfect Fall Wedding:The Coming of Christ I wrote on how we can easily find ourselves loving the things Christ hated and even hating Christ Himself simply by trivialising the instruments of His murder. Rather unsurprisingly we read “In remarks on Tuesday in Geneva to the United Nations, Secretary of State Hillary Clin...

It is no more news that Herman Cain has suspended his Presidential campaign even as he declares to backers in South Carolina to look past the allegations. "There's a lot of garbage on the Internet. There's a lot of garbage out there on the TV. There's a lot of garbage out there about me, don't you know? There's a lot of misinformation out there. Yo...

Another jolly season is here and many are making preparations to spread tidings of joy in remembrance of the Saviour that was born.
