Livestreamed on Thursday 22 August, 2024 from 7:30pm (AEST).
Together with other men from my residence, I attended a Bible study on Paul’s letter to the Ephesians. Pastor Mbulelo Maliza explained the gospel from Ephesians chapter 1 and answered our questions. I was compelled by the love God showed sinful people like me in gifting us his Son.
Applying the theology I learned at the seminary while I prepare sermons and Bible studies for believers is one thing. Using this theology to fight against cults and folk religious beliefs is another.
I wasn’t interested in Christianity but as I flipped through the pages I noticed something. The articles in the magazine were about the love, compassion and sacrifice of Jesus. Even though I was far from Christianity, these words resonated with me. There was a warmth in those words that I had never felt before.
Every night before I went to sleep, my dad used to tell me a story. One night, I asked him, ‘How many fathers do I have?’ He blinked and laughed. “Flor, you have two fathers. You have a father who can fail you, that’s me. And you have another father who will never fail you, the most wonderful dad in the world, Father God.”
