The Elephant Room is a high-glitter theological roundtable featuring frank discussions among influential pastors. Recently, controversy was generated due to the invitation of Bishop T.D. Jakes of The Potter's House in Dallas (linked to resignation of another Pastor James MacDonald) ... controversy related to Jakes supposed “h...
Money and the Bible

January 28th, 201211:19 AM ET

By Olabode Ososami

Money is to be regarded as a gift from God to be used to the glory of the giver, God. We worship the giver and not the gift. We cannot therefore spend as we wish even if we can afford it knowing that we will give an account someday to the giver, God. We are only stewards of all that has been entrusted in our care. There are some princi...
The Blessing of Growing Clouds

By Olabode Ososami

A cloud is often associated with lack of visibility, impaired judgment, uncertainty, unseen dust and an approaching experience that has adverse implications. Aircraft would often seek to avoid them, as in the worst of weather, poor visibility has been responsible for disasters. Clouds can be so thick, low and dark causing a fog - all mo...

By Olabode Ososami

It has become increasingly commonplace to read articles deriding the deeper Christian life and especially Spiritual Warfare suggesting this denies grace and liberty in the gospel. Even though Christ often prayed all night and interceded with an intensity that His sweat was described as blood, many only remember He said “His yoke is easy an...

A recent article in “Grace to You” ministries entitled Careful to be Faithful addresses the theme of staying on a different path in 2012, not seeking a fleeting gratification but something more enduring.

Evolutionist Pastors and the Sheep

January 16th, 201203:24 AM ET

I read a recent statistical report in CNN Belief Blog explaining that America’s Protestant pastors overwhelmingly reject the theory of evolution and are evenly split on whether the earth is 6,000 years old, according to a survey conducted in May 2011 just released by the Southern Baptist Convention. What also got my attention is that as much...
Joyful Noise, Dolly Parton and Queen Latifah

By Olabode Ososami

My pastor will often say if you cannot sing, then make a joyful noise unto the Lord. Well Queen Latifah and Dolly Parton can certainly sing but still did just that in another soon-to-be box office hit. I haven’t seen the film but heard clips of the music which expectedly reflect the contemporary mind-set that we can sing unto the...

By Olabode Ososami

All over the world there seems to be crises - a siege of evil, be it in politics, economics, education, morality and particularly so in religion. Depression seems to be lingering even longer than the over three years that God had ordained for it to be in the times of Ahab ... causing many to ask, when are we going to experience the “rains�...

You do not need horoscopes to place you on a wrong lane; instead begin with new disciplines to watch and pray, studying the word of God with fresh vigour and praying with new earnestness.
