MOBILE MONEY TAX & CHURCH TITHING: POLITICIANS & PASTORS

Recently, the government of Uganda, through parliament, passed a law to impose a 0.5% tax on mobile money transactions.

EVIL SPIRITS FROM ‘GOD’ (Part III): Divine Providence

In the previous two presentations, I laboured to answer the question asked by Sadam on why God would send (if at all he did - my emphasis) an evil spirit to his anointed king. Apart from the controversy in the text of an evil spirit coming from an all-good and loving God, I have extended … Continue reading EVIL SPIRITS FROM ‘GOD’ (Part III): Divine Providence →

EVIL SPIRITS FROM ‘GOD’ (Part II): Divine Permissiveness
