Saul, Saul, Saul.
Imagine if Samuel had said instead “Saul…Erm… Erm… Your kingdom should be torn away For your disobedience…But erm… God needs you to stop the Philistines He can’t do it any other way So let’s just forget what I said That Obedience is better than Sacrifice I know the Law of God isn’t written In your […]

Nigeria and Elections:My Opinion
#Randomtots Who does not know corruption-stealing and mismanagement is one of our major problems? Our problem is not that there are no solutions to the problems that plague us.
