Reposted from KCM    The devil hates agreement between Christians. The power of agreement opens the windows of heaven in our lives and closes the door to his destruction. That’s why he continually tries to disrupt that agreement by causing strife and division where people come together in the most powerful way: the family. You don’t have to take it! Here are 8 Ways to Make Your Home a No-Strife Zone. 1. Bite Your Tongue Did you know? The quickest way to reduce strife in your home is to bite your tongue! That’s right. You don’t have to say everything you think. Your words have a powerful ability to stir up strife in your home. So choose your words wisely.  Consider these verses from the English Standard Version: Whoever keeps his mouth and his tongue keeps himself out of trouble (Proverbs 21:23).

Fifty Years On: Time to Heal Our Nation from Corruption As we mark fifty years of our nation's journey, it is time we pause—not just to celebrate, but to reflect. We must confront a chronic sickness that has silently eroded our values and distorted our sense of right and wrong: corruption. Corruption is not just the grand theft of public funds. It begins in the small, everyday compromises—when we offer "cola money" to fast-track a process, when we pay for jobs or tenders, when we accept inflated payments without questioning the ethics behind them.

Greed and Price Manipulation Our desire to accumulate more has led us to inflate pric...

"But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it." — 1 Timothy 6:6–7 (NIV) In a world that constantly urges us to chase more — more success, more possessions, more recognition — the words of 1 Timothy 6:6–10 offer a quiet, powerful truth: true wealth is found not in accumulation, but in contentment rooted in godliness. We entered this world with nothing, and we will leave it the same way. This sobering reality invites us to loosen our grip on material things and instead hold tightly to what truly matters — our relationship with God, our character, and the peace that comes from a grateful heart. Contentment is not complacency. It’s not about giving up on dreams or settling for less. Rather, it’s about finding joy and peace in the present, even as we work toward the future. It’s the ability to say, “What I have is enough for today,” and to trust that God will provide for tomorrow. At the heart of contentment...
