Spirituality linked to mental health ‘demons’ like eating disorders, drug abuse, anxiety, study says

Being spiritual may give life deeper meaning but it can also mess up your mind, research suggests. A study found that people professing to be spiritual, but not conventionally religious, were more likely to suffer from a host of mental challenges. Their demons included abnormal eating conditions, drug abuse, anxiety disorder, phobias and neurosis. People... Read More

Rejoinder: No, Christianity is not close to extinction

by Muhammad Shuaibu We know the religion the then US president belongs to but have never and will never attribute such a crime to his religion. As unapologetically-Muslims and uncompromisingly-Islamic, we demand just that and nothing more. I received a message on my BlackBerry Messenger through this link: Christianity ‘close to extinction’ in Middle East,... Read More

Ebuka Obi-Uchendu: We can’t continue like this, seriously (YNaija FrontPage)

The Cross and the Crossroad – Leke Alder’s thoughts on the ongoing church controversy

At the heart of the ongoing debate is the nature of church economics. Why do people give to churches in such huge figures? Why would a Pastor take money from the poor? Recent events in the Church have generated social fervor about the lifestyles of men of the robe and the governance structure of the... Read More

Opinion: Let me tell you why gay marriages are a match made in Heaven

by Felicity A Morse If marriage and traditional family life is this beacon of unparalleled Christian values then why can divorced couples still marry in the church? I’m a Christian and I’m angry. Same-sex marriage is to be made illegal in the Church of England and Wales after a debate which has seen disgusting comments... Read More

Ralph Jones: Why is religion so afraid of women?

…though the Church likes to avoid the issue, there are numerous biblical commands and injunctions for women to be raped and treated like property. The latest in a long line of upsetting news for women, and women in religion, has hit us square in the face in the past 24 hours. The Christian Union at... Read More

Opinion: Nigeria sans frontier (A Nigeria without borders)

by Ozia Nneamaka I can write all I want. You can read all you want. In the end, it takes more than a pen and a clean sheet. It takes guts! It takes conscience! It takes plan!

Opinion: Jesus was a feminist and so am I

by Vicky Beechingis Women were also among his [Jesus’] key financial supporters, paying the bills for him, his team, and their mission. I find myself living in an interesting tension.

Opinion: Only God can judge pastors, but man can testify

by Ejike Alphonsus Kanife A pastor should receive a gift jet when every other member of his Christian community receives one. Nigeria, thank God, is a very religious country. Very, very religious indeed such that when anyone attempts to criticize a religious leader of owning a private jet, they rise in their millions to defend... Read More

Opinion: On pastors and jets – Let’s not get carried away as Christians

by Olayinka Olorisade Criticisms are flying all over the place and emotions are running high, but bottom line is, many think that ‘pastors’ have become day-time robbers. I think that people need to re-evaluate themselves and I have a few (maybe not a few) questions I want us all to answer. There has been so... Read More

Opinion: Just because you love Jesus doesn’t mean you have to disrespect the Buddha, dishonor Muhammad or disregard Moses

by Brian McLaren As a Christian, I’ve certainly seen it and felt it in the Christian community, expressed often in a sense that the more you love Jesus, the more inhospitable you’ll be toward other faiths. On this 11th anniversary of 9/11, it’s a good day for us to look back and assess the damage. The... Read More

Ore Fakorede: Sectarianism – The bane of contemporary christianity (30 Days, 30 Voices)

It appears that Christianity is no longer all-embracing, with ‘hugs’ now reserved for card-carrying members of the church club and their well-connected friends. I grew up in a proper Christian home; one in which family prayers were hour-long events that couldn’t be missed (if only for the fear of the promised wrath of God upon... Read More
