Uganda Martyrs, the Church, and the State
Tertullian, that great Church Father from North Africa once remarked that the blood of Christians is the seed (for the Church), for ‘the oftener we are mown down by you, the more in number we grow.’ He crafted his work Apology as a response to the calamitous persecutions of Christians by the Roman empire.
The Grace of God and the Salvation of Man
There is no salvation for Man apart from the grace of God in Christ. The Bible affirms that it is ‘by grace you have been saved through faith’ (Eph. 2:8). Salvation by grace through faith is what separates Christianity from other religions in the world which are works-based.
Authentic Prophets to a Fallen World
The Church of Christ right from the start has always swum against the prevailing cultural tides. Her Foundation (Christ) was crucified by the powers that were, for contravening their sinful social-economic and political substructures.

Is Your Fellowship Becoming a Cult?
In a fast-paced world that survives on fact-packed news bytes, people easily satisfy their hunger for power, pomp, and prosperity by use of a little prediction. For people in a country like Uganda, someone who ‘taps’ into the spiritual realm comes in handy. And when our worlds spin faster than light, we have no time to pause, ponder, or even pray. We ‘receive’ whatsoever our apps bring, without stopping to deliberate and decide wisely.
Joel B. Ntwatwa: A Short Life of Legacy
It is morning here, and I am at church. I know I shouldn’t be checking my phone. But I did. Ninno Jack Junior has just sent me a WhatsApp message, one that I usually should not have opened. But I did. The text was short: “Nevender has passed on.”
