Churches Should Be Helping Their Members Financially – Primate Ayodele

Image
Primate Elijah Ayodele, Founder of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, has taken a swipe on big Churches in Nigeria that do not do enough to alleviate the sufferings of their struggling members. Speaking during Sunday service at the Church’s Oke-Afa branch in Isolo, he said although many Churches get donations worth billions, they find it hard to give to the less-privileged in their congregation.   He said: “There are many men of God, but it is only God that knows the genuine ones. I do not know. But all I know is that it is unfair to have and not give remarkably. “Here, as much as our power can carry, we provide foodstuff, clothing materials, money, work tools and other items to our members at regular intervals.  About 20 people we presented during service today will in a matter of days receive money to start up or grow their businesses . “Even Muslims are welcome.

We Are ‘One American family’ - Obama To Muslims

Image
US President Barack Obama visited a Maryland mosque on Wednesday to deliver a simple message at a complex time.  “We are one American family,” President Obama told the gathered crowd at the Islamic Society of Baltimore. “We will rise and fall together.” Obama sought to reassure Muslim Americans that the country considers their community essential to the makeup of society, condemn the claim that all Muslims are terrorists, call on the Muslim community to also condemn terrorism, affirm religious freedom, and explain to the whole of America what Islam is and isn’t. And with the rise of ISIS and in the wake of the attacks in Paris and San Bernardino, the president had a lot of ground to cover in the 45 minutes he had to speak.  “We have to reaffirm that most fundamental of truths—we are all God’s children, all born equal with inherent dignity,” Obama said. He started by telling the story of Islam in the U.S. from a historical perspective, bringing the audience ...
