MONDAY & BEACH

Monday and Beach.
What has the monday after Resurrection Sunday got to do with beach?
Persons who have no share in the bounty of the Resurrection (but think they have cuz persons who shold know better have told them they have) and people who have been told you dont need to change your life now that you claim to have changed your heart (something prosperity and charismatic pastors love to teach) rush to the sea to do whatever is done at the beach in memory of the Resurrected Christ.

I'm not saying Beach (see, i evn made it big B) is bad for Christians (who am I to say that), I am only saying if they were Christians they would be home or somewhere worshipping God for killing and raising His Son for them rather than worshipping half naked bodies and the sand (is that what they really do?)
So these two groups (they who dont give a hoot about any Resurrected body and they who think its time to party more than the angels cuz of the Resurrection) flock to the beaches. I have the suspicion that there is a third group [when Christ rose hell burst open, every Christmas many 'people' come to town then get lost after, Easter may call the 'people' again - you get my drift?], but what am I but a fruitcake with a type pad!
So these three groups, or is it two, go to our beaches and leave us unadventurous folks at home or whatever wholesome activity we love to do in memory of His Resurrection (by then most have even forgotten whats so special about it that the Pastor was screaming his head off - but that is for those who attend Churches; another group wouldnt even know that He had to die for their sins in order to be Raised for their justification - this group only heard "since Christ is risen you dont need to be poor, you cant be sick, you can now travel to any country [they forget that such silly talk can make you also travel to Hell], and most of all you wont even die mpo).
When its evening then a new power of the Resurrection rears its head - a power no pastor talks about though it comes every year. The power of Transportation. Lorries, cycles, buses, feet all get active - some would ride goats if they can, anything to take them home. All non-station based cars go to the beaches making it almost impossible, no cancel the almost, impossible, yes IMPOSSIBLE for persons who didnt seek body-sand worship to go home. Its not so bad when you have to walk on our narrow foot paths with these sand worshippers too, at least they too bear the brunt of their worship.
Monday and Beach is a bad combination for a cocktail. I pray I am right, but hey I ask a lot, dont I?

C. S. Lewis compared humankind to small children living in the slums and making mud castles; and refusing to go to the beach for they couldn't imagine a water body so large and sand so plentiful. He was talking about how man gets satisfied with mediocre and silly things when God has more to offer. He believed that the end of man and all being is the glory of God.                               I too believe so and I'll do my literary mentor proud by comparing the Ghanaian Church to a drowning man who is crying because his new shoes are wet. We have no conception of the task placed on us so we worry about inconsequential and mundane things that we can't take to eternity.                            ...

Our Holy God Purges; Therefore It Will Come Out in His Fire

In Deuteronomy chapter 4 we find the phrase “ the Lord is a consuming fire .”  In that book the Lord had given His chosen people a law to obey. A law that was to save them, a law to enrich them, a law to make them inGodded, a law to make them the best of what a human can be. He gave them this law for he wanted a called-out people, a people who are counter culture, a people who are holy. After he had given his laws, he added the words “ I am a consuming fire and I am a jealous God therefore I will burn out against you if you do not follow my law .” In previous chapters, the writer gives the believer so much positive motivation to follow and obey Christ; you’ll think he’ll have no nee of negative motivation. Yet he talks of judgement and wrath. Take a look at some of the reasons he gives to help us stay faithful.  Remember that this time we are in the New Testament. The Old Testament was a ‘come and see’ religion. In the Old they had a written law on parchments that when di...

Wild but True Thoughts

Just some thoughts. 1. God can do whatever He damn well pleases and He damn well can damn all if He damn well pleases. 2. God never says ouch! or oops! 3. 20th century popular Christianity makes God the only Lord who has no power to make His subjects do anything. 4. Revivals happen when people see God. 5. God is alive. People die. God was alive when the universe burst into existence, God was alive when Socrates drank his poison, God will be alive when all reading this are dead. God is alive. 6. God is on His Throne. He isn't frantic or nervous. He isn't busy. 7. Many people have 'entered' the narrow gate are walking into Hell for they are not walking the narrow way. 8. There is no big man of God. There are only puny small men of a BIG GOD. 9. God rules all that is. 10. You need to serve God even if you will be sick till death; poorer than a Church mouse; be so persecuted you'll wish for a thousand deaths; or He even promises to send you to Hell for He is w...
