About to Wed?

Marriage is about love but believe it or not, love doesn't magically make human weaknesses disappear. If you cannot tolerate someone's mistakes, don't marry the person (and there are some weaknesses you won't see until you are married). It is very wrong to think that once you get married, your partner's weaknesses will automatically fly away ( thinking afterall two is better than one). They may not! It is therefore good to prepare a space in your heart to tolerate any weaknesses that will be observed in marriage until they are patiently overcome in love. H

Should Christians engage in birth control? Is it sinful?

In the beginning when God created man He blessed them and commanded them to be fruitful, multiply and replenish the earth (Genesis 1:28). There is therefore no doubt that God is pleased when His children procreate within the confines of godly marriage. God is fully in support of bearing children because He commanded it from the beginning. ... But how many children should we have? Is it right to seek to control the rate at which we conceive since children are a gift from God? There is no known record in the Holy Bible stating or implying that birth control is wrong for consenting couples. However, there is a general agreement that abortion is murder and is a sin. Thus when a woman gets pregnant the Christian thing to do is to birth life. The Bible tells us that wisdom is the principal thing (Proverbs 4:7), thus believers should be guided when making decisions. It is not wise to get pregnant without thinking through. Using birth control methods in a Christian home is not a sin! A...

Tend Your Own Vineyard

"Look upon me, because I am black, because the sun hath looked upon me: my mother's children were angry with me; they made me the keeper of the vineyards; but mine own vineyard have I not kept." - SOS 1:6 THE THREE VINEYARDS OF A MAN 1. Christian Life and Calling Jesus told us of mansions in heaven and I want to live in them, I know you do too. The question is how are we preparing for that glorious house, how are we tending to the vineyard that will produce the spiritual fruit of eternal life? There is no doubt that when we close our eyes in death here on earth we will open it in eternity. But the eternity we will awake to will be determined by how we keep our vineyard here. There so many variations of Christian living today that we are at a loss as to who a Christian really is but God is not confused, He knows those who are His. Are you representing Christ well? Are you fulfilling your calling? 2. Marriage and Family Life Some men are angels in their workpl...

Four things you must never say to an ailing couple

Marriage is ordained and instituted by God. Marriage is sweet. But Marriage is a marathon, it takes a lot of God's grace and godly counsel to win it. We must be careful to give only goodly counsel. Our counsels can make or mar a home. I will tell a short story. In my first year in the university there was couple who lived opposite our student apartment. They were always fighting. There was hardly any month they didn't throw themselves to the streets. Sometimes it got as bad as going naked when they fought. It was a sour marriage or so we thought. Neighbours would separate them when they fought but were often treated to a round of insults by the couple. As the fights continued more people began to ignore them. One fateful night, a well wisher who defiled the onlooking neighbours got a thorough beating from the fighting couple for daring to settle their quarrel. The fellow learnt a painful lesson. The funny thing about this couple was that after every humiliating fight ...
