By Pr. Bonifresh Muhollo. Read part 1 here. Biblical excellence combines both theology and sociology. Before we get into the theological or religious aspect of man, let us dig into man's sociology just a little more. I begin by presenting my thesis statement that: No one lives for himself, we are inextricably connected to each … Continue reading Biblical Excellence – Part 2

Biblical Excellence – Part 1
By Pr. Bonifresh Muhollo. I like the Ugandan motto. It's says For God and for My Country. Nothing else comes closer to the true purpose of human life. For where else would a human being find meaning and purpose of life if not in service to both fellow man and God? Even the most arrogant … Continue reading Biblical Excellence – Part 1
THE TWO WAYS OF LIFE
If we believe that we were CREATED, the underlying assumption by default becomes that there is a historical relationship between us (created) and our Creator. And this is the sense that the narratives of Genesis 1-3 make. The historical relationship between us and this creator indicates that our relationship was fractured and shattered beyond repair … Continue reading THE TWO WAYS OF LIFE
JOSHUA and the FIVE Ds OF VICTORY
The book of Joshua that we are reading this month is a book about victory after victory and success after success. This is not to say that we won’t experience some setbacks in the book. That would be misleading and false hopes in this unfortunate world that we live in. However, the book is grounded … Continue reading JOSHUA and the FIVE Ds OF VICTORY
GOD’S MIGHTY WORKERS DIE BUT NOT HIS WORK
After the death of Moses the servant of the LORD, the LORD said to Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' minister, (Joshua 1:1) When every boy child was being killed upon birth and some were dying and being eaten by reptiles in their hiding places, Moses was taken to the palace by the princess. He … Continue reading GOD’S MIGHTY WORKERS DIE BUT NOT HIS WORK
IS THERE A GOD?
Genesis 1:1 does not even dare ask whether there is God or not, for only a fool imagines there is no God (Psalms 14:1-3; 5:3:1). Genesis 1:1 is interested in telling us that God is the Beginning (place) in which the whole universe is and the whole universe has its origin. God is everything. He … Continue reading IS THERE A GOD?
AN INTRODUCTION TO THE BOOK OF JOSHUA
I would like, in a special way, to thank God for your commitment ever since we began this Journey of reading the whole Bible. We have so far covered the first five books and here we are in the book of Joshua. I have to remind you that the books we are dealing with are … Continue reading AN INTRODUCTION TO THE BOOK OF JOSHUA
THE LOGIC OF TRUST
Trust in the LORD with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. (Proverbs 3:5 NLT) If you found your spouse cheating, would ever trust him again? How would your relationship be after you discover this evidence? Would you keep an employee in an office if you found him stealing from the company? … Continue reading THE LOGIC OF TRUST
NOTHING LIKE ENOUGH SO JUST DO IT
Whatever your hand finds to do, verily, do it with all your might; for there is no activity or planning or knowledge or wisdom in Sheol where you are going. (Ecclessiates 9:10 NAS) People always say, i would and could have done more if i was given more time. But even if these people are … Continue reading NOTHING LIKE ENOUGH SO JUST DO IT
FEAR SUBTRACTS
2 Timothy 1:7: For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. 2Timothy 1:7 is structured like a simplistic mathematic equation to me. FEAR is an equation. It is when soundness (critical thinking, asking the right questions, examining, evaluating and reconciling things) is … Continue reading FEAR SUBTRACTS
