What Hath the Bible To Say on Baptism? Photo by Josue Michel on Unsplash Introduction   Baptism is, such, a most iconic in Christianity. I have witnessed it in church, on rivers and in the backyard pools. Although it is so conspicuous and prevalent, there is still much disagreement regarding its essence, responsibility, and usefulness.   There are those that baptize infants, others just baptized adult believers. Others sprinkle, others pour and others die in it. Others argue that salvation should be through baptism and other people also argue that it is a mere ceremony of a choice people take privately. All these varying opinions would make it difficult to understand what is actually taught in the Bible.   This paper is not attempting to resolve all theological arguments. What it has done is to be straight on what Scripture says of baptism, its significance and what it is supposed to signify to a Christian. Regardless of what tradition you belong to, there is con...

Perhaps you have been brought up in a church where prayer seems smooth and stuffy and therefore you have always felt that you are messing it all up.

What Does the Bible Say About Tattoos? Photo by benjamin lehman on Unsplash In the recent past, tattoos are more or less a diet of every individual in the streets, be it players, musicians, a school mate or even your workmates in the office. They are simply considered as art by some people and a way of personal stories, a possible memory or even a religious calling. Due to their popularity, many Christians now find themselves with a question that they have had to ask: what does the bible actually say about getting inked? Does the faith accept it, or ought we to avoid it?   This has long been debated on Christian discussion groups and Sunday masses. Others self-murder on the notion that the bibles have banned tattoos; some say that the biblical position is vastly over-rated and that it has more to do with the intent than the color.   The reality? Not even the Bible does not say anything about body markings, however, you must go deep into the historical and spiritual cont...

What Does the Bible Say about Lust? Photo by Dorsaf sayeh on Unsplash Introduction Lust is one of these issues that most individuals are aware of but would not comfortably discuss in an open manner. It seems like a personal part, maybe even shameful and at times too uncomfortable to discuss in church. The Bible does not however shun it. The bible addresses lust on a frank and clear note, and when we know what God says about it, it can truly be liberating.
