It’s State Education, Not Home Schooling, We Need to Worry About
Mum and dad or the state? If you had to make a choice, to whom would you entrust a child’s future?

An Extraordinary Testimony of God’s Mercy
We live in a strange and worrying era, when the value of life is in deep recession.

Why Don’t We Care About the Slaughter of Nigerian Christians?

I believe the biggest reason is that we simply don't know about what's happening there. Well, now you know. Here are the facts.

God’s Grace Leads To Repentance
Justice is giving people what they deserve, but mercy is giving them what they don’t deserve. A man was having his portrait painted and said to the artist, ‘I hope this will do me justice.’ The artist said, ‘It is not justice you need, it is mercy!’ All of us are recipients of God’s mercy.
