[The Church Blog] The Christian Association of Nigeria didn’t address the tithing issue and we should be bothered

Now that the tension on the tithing issue has subsided, this is the perfect time to bring this up. By virtue of faith, all Christians, regardless of denomination belong to the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN). A body that should regulate, guide, activate movements and determine the pulse of the Christian faith in Nigeria. If... Read More

We all have questions. The tough, hard, seemingly unanswerable questions of faith. In previous years, asking critical questions on faith meant you were frowned at because, if we all didn’t have an answer to it, we’d either shut the mouth of the questioner and mask it under the evidence of things not seen. But, so far... Read More
