 Tongues. So back in Presec Legon and later at the University, I realized something fascinating. When I was in Form1 and not really a Christian, I normally went to these places for prayers either alone or for congregational prayers. I observed what I may want to call “Rhythmic Prayers” or “Jama Tongues”.  You will find people in a circle with their hands around each other or in a circle clapping and saying some repetitive things. So there is a call and a response during such prayer meetings. So Yesterday I was having a Christian Fellowship discussion with some brothers in the Reformed faith and this thing popped up. Here are some observations From the various campus prayer meetings in Ghana: 1. There was a group in UCC called Agapao Ministries. There was this leader who will always say “Yagayaga” and the rest will respond “pao”. They could do this for hours! Was all “Yagayaga” and “pao”. 2. At Science Gardens in UCC, you will hear “montie” and they respond “yate ooo” 3. Perhap...

My younger brother and I have been discussing  this topic for a while now, I have been asking other brothers in faith too. My stand has always been "there's no such thing as Virtual Holy Communion" . And today I want to put my honest view in writing, I believe this view does not hing more on legalism than freedom in Christ.  Before I touch on the topic I want us to consider the following; Be careful communion is to be kept holy.   Corinthians  11 27 Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty concerning the body and blood of the Lord. 28 Let a person examine himself, then, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup. 29 For anyone who eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and drinks judgment on himself. 30 That is why many of you are weak and ill, and some have died 1.

What Martin Luther said during the bubonic plague. “The 16th-century theologian Martin Luther had this to say during the bubonic plague, offering his thoughts in a letter titled "Whether One May Flee From a Deadly Plague" on how best to practically and spiritually overcome: You ought to think this way: "Very well, by God's decree, the enemy has sent us poison and deadly offal. Therefore, I shall ask God mercifully to protect us. Then I shall fumigate, help purify the air, administer medicine, and take it.  I shall avoid places and persons where my presence is not needed in order not to become contaminated and thus perchance infect and pollute others, and so cause their death as a result of my negligence. If God should wish to take me, he will surely find me and I have done what he has expected of me and so I am not responsible for either my own death or the death of others. If my neighbor needs me, however, I shall not avoid place or person, but will go freely."...
