Review: It’s NOT an Easy Road!

Ndavichi M0 CommentsReviewschallenges, review, sickness, song

Over the past few weeks as friends and those who are part of our Bible study at home have struggled with their health, under gone surgery or a variety other things, this song has been such an encouragement to each one; what a blessing the song has been! I personally had never heard it before until a young lady in our group introduced it to us just recently. It is in the hymn book “Zambia Sings” and yet I just overlooked it like all the others I don’t know. However, after she introduced it to us, it was not long…

Review: A matter of Faith

Ndavichi M0 CommentsReviewscreation, evolution, faith, review, video

One of the most challenging times in my life and in the lives of many youth in this world is the moment that they leave their parent’s home and step out into this world. Often this coincides with starting college or university, a place where they are introduced to many new ideas, faiths, ways of life, ways of thinking and ways of being. For all it is a time where they have to wrestle with who they are, what they believe and what they want to become and do in this world. Some wander through college and university without finding…

Love is ALWAYS demonstrated

Ndavichi M0 CommentsGood NewsGod, love, Salvation

Dear Friend: Have you ever heard someone say “I love you” but there is no action or physical evidence of it? I’m sure each one of us has experienced this and we very quickly conclude that the speaker is not telling the truth. Why? Because true love ALWAYS must be demonstrated in some way or other. There MUST be evidence of love – in fact not just love but every such quality, like joy, patience etc... Each quality has actions that show that a person has that quality. What actions would you say show love? There could be many small…

Review: Will your Anchor Hold?

Ndavichi M0 CommentsReviewsreview

Not long ago we were studying in the book of Acts. The author, Luke, writes about Paul’s traumatic journey to Rome, the many days on a ship being driven about in a giant storm. Finally, after “all hope was lost”, the Lord saved all on board even though the ship was completely destroyed. After that study someone wanted to sing a song that had boats and anchors in it as they’d heard one once so we found “Will your Anchor Hold?” and sang it for the first time with the youth. From that day, it caught on and became a…

Is Hell real?

Ndavichi M0 CommentsTeachingsdeath, hell

Dear Friend: The word “hell” is said by a lot of people in various ways. Some use it as a swear word or insult, others as a joking word, some call it a real place, others say it’s just a sham (fake) and a way to scare people. So, is hell real? People have many ideas about hell, but what is the truth? Is it real or fake? Well, when we look at our English Bible’s, the Lord Jesus himself is the person who spoke the word “hell” the most times. Here are some of the words he said about…

Review: Play the Flute

Ntemesha M0 CommentsReviewsreview, video

Play the Flute is a story about a youth group and a new pastor’s desire that the youth in the group take the Bible seriously. Through the film there are a number of good messages about death, truth, dating, marriage, and a number of other relevant topics for youth. Through it all a number of good things are taught: the importance of memory verses, the value of regular reading of God’s Word, the importance of doing what is right even if it causes you to suffer, repenting for what is wrong and much more. There are a number of characters…

Review: Unidentified – Are UFOs real?

Ntemesha M0 CommentsReviewsreview, ufo, video

To be honest, with the connection to UFOs, at first I ignored this video as most videos about UFOs focus on scaring people and the theme “us verses them” or “how we beat them” or something like that. However, once I did get around to watching this video I found it has quite a different approach and is actually very refreshing. The focus of the video Unidentified is the question “What is the reason behind the UFO sightings?” There is certainly a lot of excitement and fear about this topic in the world and so the focus of this video…

Review: In Christ Alone

Ntemesha M0 CommentsReviewsreview, song

As we think of some songs, they bring back memories of times where they helped us and gave us strength. For me, one such song is “In Christ Alone”. There was a time back in 2020-2021 where there was great fear here in Zambia including here in Ikelenge. Unknown persons were spraying poisonous deadly gas into people’s homes and some were dying because of it. Communities took things into their own hands and organized bands of youth to roam around and run to wherever there was a call for help. It was certainly a fearful time and the whole country…

Review: I have found a friend in Jesus

Ntemesha M0 CommentsReviewsreview, song

Once the youth learned this song it was immediately the favorite song of the year and was chosen each meeting for practically that whole year! It is a wonderful song, with amazing words written under such challenging circumstances that the truth of the song rings out loud and clear. I’ve linked to a wonderful production of "I have found a friend in Jesus" (Otherwise known as "The Lily of the Valley") by Fountainview Academy. Here are the words of the song from Hymnary.org: Verse 1:I have found a friend in Jesus-He's ev'rything to me,He's the fairest of ten thousand to…
