For the Peace of our Nation

Jubilee Centre August 4th, 2009

Heritage Party President Brigadier General Godfrey Miyanda stated in the Post recently that Zambia is headed for destruction. He said, “President Rupiah Banda has opened wide the door to Zambian bedroom for a few pieces of silver and that at this rate there would soon be no Zambia.”  Another political leader, Edith Nawakwi, President of […]

Joseph-A Man of Strong Beliefs

Jubilee Centre December 26th, 2008

It is difficult to imagine Josephs feeling when the angel of the Lord told him to go ahead and marry Mary even though she was expecting a child that was not his biological. He may not have wanted to do it, but he obeyed. God often requires extra ordinary obedience from His servants who […]

Mary a Model for our Teenage Girls

Jubilee Centre December 15th, 2008

A US study early this year found that teenage girls who watch a lot of TV shows with a high sexual content, such as Friends and Sex and the City are twice as likely to become pregnant. The researchers for that study concluded: One problem is that these and similar programs glamorize sex while hardly […]

WORLD AIDS DAY

Jubilee Centre December 6th, 2008

In June 1981 the first AIDS case was discovered. Dr. Samuel Broke, then of the National Cancer Institute in the USA, made this statement, We dont know what this is, but we hope we dont ever see another case like it again (UN Report on the Global AIDS epidemic 2006 p3). Today marks 27 years […]

Christians and Politics

Jubilee Centre December 6th, 2008

This weekend at the Christian Arts Promotions Awards (CHAPRO) ceremony we saw religion and politics mixing. Who on earth would have thought of a day when Zambian Christians would shout partisan political slogans at a Christian gathering? Who would have thought that an invited high-ranking government leader would be jeered at a Christian gathering? What […]

Mourning a Great Leader

Jubilee Centre September 1st, 2008

Although life in present day Zambia is changing, the question of traditional beliefs and cultural practices is still a very  important issue. The ritual of taking the body of former Zambias president, Dr. Levy Mwanawasa SC to all provincial headquarters that each Zambian pay last respect to him raises several questions for Christians who understand […]

What is a Hero?

Jubilee Centre July 10th, 2008

Being a Heroes Holiday, I asked the members at a church I was invited to preach last Sunday to give me names of men or women they remembered, who had dedicated their lives to the service of our country and people. Three names featured prominently, Kenneth Kaunda, Harry Mwaanga Nkumbula and Simon Mwansa Kapwepwe. Interestingly, […]

The Post Influence: Where is the Church?

Jubilee Centre February 29th, 2008

While most of the Post each Friday is immersed in sex, sleaze and booze, it was refreshing to read on the front page about Mama Betty Kaunda’s concern over excessive beer drinking among our young people. Interestingly, the concerns she raised also attracted a half page editorial in the newspaper, which stated, “No one can […]

The Kenyan Crisis-Learning from Solomon’s Wisdom

Jubilee Centre January 8th, 2008

The incident in 1 Kings Chapter 3 of two prostitutes living in the same house who each had a baby three days apart reveals to us the insight of human behavior when faced with various situations. The story states that one of boy babies died during the night and his mother exchanged the dead child […]

Indecent Exposure at the Reed Dance

Jubilee Centre September 10th, 2007

How sad that thousands of young African girls clad in short beaded skirts and wearing nothing to cover their upper bodies should be exposed to our President Mr. Levy Mwanawasa SC. and his wife in the name of tradition. Mr. Mwanawasa, accompanied by his daughter, was the chief guest of honor at the Swaziland Umhlanga […]

Summer has ended, But we are not saved.

Lawrence Temfwe April 10th, 2007

Our heroic fathers and mothers fought and liberated our nation from the colonial rulers so that our copper would not go to develop Salisbury and London as was the case then. For some us who can remember we know that we did experience a brief bliss of Independence. However, since 1975, Zambia has been receding […]

Disturbing the Comfortable.

Lawrence Temfwe December 25th, 2006

Have you ever imagined the consequences of intrusion by Jesus into the ordinary and free from trouble lifestyle of Joseph and Mary? Because of the interruption in their lives, their first born child was not as a result of sexual union. Joseph and Mary traveled a journey of 70 miles from their home town of […]
