Catch up on a few excerpts from our just concluded meeting.

19/09/2026

Imagine yourself as a living house. God comes in to rebuild that house. At first, perhaps, you can understand what He is doing. He is getting the drains right and stopping the leaks in the roof and so on; you knew that those jobs needed doing and so you are not surprised. But presently He starts knocking the house about in a way that hurts abominably and does not seem to make any sense. What on earth is He up to? The explanation is that He is building quite a different house from the one you thought of - throwing out a new wing here, putting on an extra floor there, running up towers, making courtyards. You thought you were being made into a decent little cottage: but He is building a palace. He intends to come and live in it Himself. —CS Lewis, Mere Christianity.

I’m sure you have heard of a believer accusing a fellow believer of being “religious.” You may also have encountered an unbeliever pointing a finger at believers and calling them “religious people.” And I’m sure you have also heard an unbeliever confidently affirm that he or she is “not a religious person.”

In all three cases, the word “religious” is used, yet it does not mean the same thing. And yet, what it means in each of these contexts is not lost on the parties involved.

The word “religion” has a great deal of elasticity. Tonight, I hope to unpack a few layers of what the word means and how our understanding of it informs our spiritual lives.

See you by 8 p.m.!

Tomorrow, 8pm!

Ever heard the saying "Christianity is not a religion"?

It is true but not true! A contradiction? No!

In this meeting, I hope to address the matter.

Join in, if you can!

Next Weekend!

The argument is not whether you have a religion or not (because everyone does); the argument is whether your religion is right or wrong.

Because even the argument, “I’m not a religious person,” is itself a religion.

Hence, there is no escape from the question that confronts us: What is religion?

Are we to simply submit to Christopher Hitchens’s assertion that “religion poisons everything,” or are we to submit to Karl Marx’s assertion that “religion is the o***m of the people”?

The word “religion” has a lot of elasticity and many nuances.

There is a need to underscore the many underlying issues and the interplay within the word.

In this meeting, I hope to expound extensively on the subject, both philosophically and theologically.

If you can, you should join in!

Forgive me O God, for the many times my heart has fallen down in wonder, worship and awe at things that are less than you.

Sometimes of my own volition, sometimes seemingly compelled from without, the end result is that I am painfully used to being impressed at things that are less than you.

Awaken my restless heart, Lord, to yourself: your infinite perfection, your beautiful love, your unique majesty. The angels before your throne avert their gaze from your glory. Moses took off his sandals. The apostle John fell at your feet as though dead. Give me a sense of the honour due to you. Enable me to think of you in your perfect Godness, in ways that are more true to who you really are. May that be one more step along the way, to that future day when you will let me see you as you really are, and permit me the honour of falling down before you, and laying all you have given me at your feet. Amen! 🤲🏾

Happy New Month, Fam.

What book are you reading this Month?

While some excuse or explain away their present unpleasant situations because of the harsh experiences they have had, others have accepted the seat of mediocrity because of how rough their paths have been. Both find comfort in their marginalized view of themselves rather than in God's view of them.

In the midst of such situations, Scripture speaks of those who, passing through the Valley of Baca, make it a well.

Geographically, Baca is traditionally understood as a valley in Palestine, but the word “Baca” is associated with weeping.

Psalm 84:5–6

[5] Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are the ways of them.

[6] Who passing through the VALLEY OF BACA MAKE IT A WELL; the rain also filleth the pools.

Thus, the passage could be read in this manner:

“Who, passing through the Valley of Weeping (Baca), make it a well...”

I may not know the valley you are going through right now, but I bring you a humble reminder of the divine possibility within you—the power that turns parched lands into wells of water, all by the Spirit of the One who dwells in the Highest.

Is it the Valley of Decision? (Joel 3:14)
The Valley of the Shadow of Death? (Psalm 23:4)
Or the Valley of Weeping?

I bring you good news:

The season of marginalization and dryness is over.

Let the rivers flow!

Two basic truths should guide us when considering God and why, although we are like Him, He is unlike us:

One: Whatever God has, He has to the maximum—to perfection.

Two: Whatever God has, He does not merely possess as an attribute; it is who He is.

For instance, God is not merely good; He is perfectly good. Goodness is not simply an attribute that God possesses—it is part of who He is. The same is true of all the attributes of God.

However, these two basic truths cannot be said of us; they are not true of us in the same sense.

Beloved, God is unlike us! What an honour and privilege it is to be like Him, yet the incomprehensible wonder is that He became like us.

Oh, the wonders of the Gospel!
