Marriage: A Holy Hand Grenade Against Holy Matrimony (Just Kidding, Kinda) Marriage is an institution that has been both praised as a heavenly haven and mocked as a ball and chain since, well, forever. But before we dive into the usual sappy sonnets or snarky stand-up routines, let’s crack open Hebrews 13:4-5 and see what it has to say about this whole “two-become-one” shebang. First off, it throws down the gauntlet: marriage is honourable, yo! Not just for some, not just for the lucky ones who snag the perfect unicorn spouse, but for everyone. This ain’t a competition for the cutest couple or the longest Instagram bio. It’s a dance of two souls, a messy, magnificent tango of love, support, and yes, even the occasional perfectly-timed fart (because let’s be real, that’s true intimacy). 🙈🙈 Now, about that “undefiled bed” business. No, it’s not about keeping your sheets pristine (although that’s always appreciated, honey). It’s about respecting the sacred space you’ve created, the cove...

The Curious Case of Broken Vows and Burgeoning Seminars: Can Celebrity Counsellors Crack the Code? There's a curious paradox plaguing the hallowed halls of matrimony. Marriages crumble like stale biscuits, divorce lawyers clink champagne glasses like celebratory bongo-players, and yet, marriage counsellors sprout like weeds after a downpour. Seminars promising marital nirvana fill calendars, workshops on "rekindling the spark" sell out faster than Kanye's Twitter account, and self-proclaimed love gurus, more bronze tan than bona fide wisdom, dominate every talk show podium. So, where's the disconnect? Are we a society hopelessly inept at love, or are the shepherds guiding our bleating hearts more enamoured with fame than fixing fractured unions? Let's peel back the layers on this matrimonial onion. The celebrity counsellor, often armed with a smile as dazzling as their teeth, dispenses pronouncements like confetti at a Kardashian wedding. They're experts i...

Navigating the Seas of Values: A Challenging Journey for Christian Couples In the cryptic web of life, Christian couples often find themselves facing a challenge as daunting as it is delicate – the harmonization of values to impart upon their children. It’s a journey filled with passion, inspiration, and humour, but it also offers profound food for thought. We’ve all heard that age-old phrase, “Opposites attract.” It’s as if the universe conspired to pair you with someone who, in many respects, couldn’t be more different from you. While this diversity can be a source of strength, it can also lead to some passionate debates, especially when it comes to imparting values to your offspring. Imagine a scenario where one partner firmly believes in the virtue of early Sunday morning church service, while the other sees Sunday as a sacred day for family hikes in the great outdoors. It’s like trying to blend oil and water, isn’t it? But humour can be the glue that holds it all together. Picture...

Navigating the Storm: Christian Couples and the Challenge of Non-Remorseful Spouses In the beautiful tapestry of life, Christian couples often find themselves confronted by a challenging thread, one that tests the very fabric of their relationships. It’s a thread of non-remorse, of mistakes and missteps that a spouse refuses to acknowledge. While it may not be the path we envisioned, this challenge can become a remarkable opportunity for growth, understanding, and transformation. The Unwelcome Guest Non-remorseful spouses can be likened to an unwelcome guest at the banquet of love. They may have erred, knowingly or unknowingly, and instead of extending an apology, they stubbornly cling to their stance. This can be perplexing, frustrating, and even maddening for their partners, who often struggle to make sense of the situation. Walking the Path of Grace For Christian couples, the teachings of grace, compassion, and forgiveness are central to their faith. It’s easy to apply these princip...

In the vibrant political landscape of Kenya, the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) has often been hailed as a symbol of change, progress, and unity. However, recent events within the party have raised eyebrows and sparked debates. The decision to expel politicians from the Nyanza region for cooperating with the government on matters of development may seem like a principled stand, but it may just be missing the bigger picture. At its core, any political party’s mission should be to bring about positive change in the lives of its constituents. This often requires working across party lines and cooperating with the government, regardless of its political affiliation. The politicians from Nyanza who were expelled by ODM may have chosen to prioritize the interests of their constituents over partisan politics, and that should be commended. Development is a multifaceted endeavor that transcends political boundaries. It’s about roads, schools, healthcare, and economic opportunities. It’s about...

In the symphony of life, promises made and promises broken dance like fireflies on a moonlit night. It is amidst the fragments of these shattered promises that the human spirit reveals its indomitable strength. With hearts scarred, but not defeated, souls embark on a journey of healing, armed with the needles of resilience and threads of self-love. The result? A tapestry woven with the wisdom of tears, reminding us that the most potent love story we will ever script is the one that we write with ourselves. Promises, like fragile glass, hold the potential to bring great joy or cause profound sorrow. Yet, when they shatter, they leave behind shards that seem irreparable. It is at this crossroads that we discover our inner reservoir of strength. We recognize that while we cannot control the promises others make, we hold the power to mend the fragments of our own hearts. This mending is not merely a patchwork fix; it is the journey of finding our own worth, embracing our imperfections, and...

A life of love, a life of faith, A life with Christ, so full and great, A life of joy, a life of peace, A life that’s lived in God’s release. To love the Lord with all your heart, And love your spouse as unto the Lord, A life of service, and a life of giving, To others and to all, as you’ve been forgiven. To walk in holiness, live free from sin, To bear His light in this dark world, To live an example of Almighty’s love, And show the world His saving truth. To pray together, to study God’s word, To grow in Christ, and learn His ways, To live a life that’s pleasing to Him, And to have a home that’s full of praise. This is the life that God has planned, For all who follow and in Him trust, For all who give their lives to Him, And live a life that’s pleasing to Him. Do not allow your selfish interest, And sin and pride, to mar your bliss, For in faithful matrimony, the Lord is pleased  And in true fidelity, a couple is blessed  Thus let us live our lives together, In love and in ...

Oh, Kenya, my sweet land of plenty, How you have fallen from grace. Your people once so proud and united, Now divided by greed and hate. Corruption has eaten away at your core, Leaving you weak and vulnerable. Your leaders are more interested in lining their pockets Than in serving the people. Tribalism has torn you apart, Setting brother against brother. You have forgotten the values that made you great, And you are now a shadow of your former self. I beg of you, Kenya, To wake up from this nightmare. Reject corruption and tribalism, And embrace unity and hope. You are a beautiful country with a rich history, And you have the potential to be great again. But only if you can overcome your current challenges. I believe in you, Kenya. I know that you can rise from the ashes And become the beacon of hope that you once were. So please, for the sake of your people, For the sake of your future, Defeat corruption and tribalism. And together, we can build a better Kenya. A Kenya where everyone...
