Life’s losses leave us hurting and wondering. Cancer takes a young mother or father. Divorce strikes your happy home. Financial ruin devastates your retirement plans. A child goes to jail, is killed or commits suicide. Such times raise questions which are difficult, if not impossible to answer. We examine the circumstances again and again.

Memorise: But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. Philippians 3:7

Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed (John 20:29).

Denominationalism!

I would like to raise a few issues with you and seek your opinion on one of my concerns; Denominationalism.

Even though we are all Christians, over time we become associated with one denomination or the other. Can we see beyond where we practice our faith to why and in whom we believe? Passion and conviction are essential qualities to have as a Christian. We must know what we believe, why we believe it and wholly hold onto those beliefs. Denominationalism has been defined as when people are more concerned about being faithful to denomination rather than the teaching of Christ. It tends to focus more on the tradition and preferential values than the Scripture. This system engenders a spirit of adversarial rivalry rather than cooperation.
