OUR SOCIETY
FROWNS UPON
INDIVIDUALS
WHO QUESTION
THE EXISTENCE
OF GOD.
F
amilies all around the world
place great value in faith.
And while it may not be for
everyone, Sunday still marks
a time for the faithful to dress
appropriately as they prepare to step
into the Holy House.
According to the New Testament,
Evangelism is about preaching the
gospel. It’s when Christians become
mouthpieces for God’s message,
providing mercy to sinners. It’s probably
one of the main reasons why Christians
frown upon individuals who question
His existence or make ungodly
statements about the afterlife.

Today, it seems as if people’s devotion
to God, or rather their desperation to
be healed, has to some extent become
their weakness. Evangelical pastors have
been making headlines with the likes of
Pastor Mbhoro, TB Joshua and Lesego
Daniel showing off their “gift” to “cast
out demons” . In demonstrating their
“powers”, they even make people do
various, unorthodox things while they
broadcast the events and earn millions
in the process.
If you’ve seen the American series
“The Preachers of LA”, you’ll know
that Christianity has become a way
of accumulating wealth. However,
some pastors still believe the purpose
of church lies in providing spiritual
‘nourishment’ for its members without
expecting a hefty financial return.
