Why couldn’t Jonah trust the ocean?
Because he knew there was something fishy about it. #bible #dadjokes #Jonah #fishy

Matthew 28:19 NCV So go and make followers of all people in the world. Baptize them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Good morning and praise God. I hope you are having a great day. Long ago, Gospel crusades were common in my nearby home center called Mũng'etho. I don't know if it was this way at your place. I would just go sit there or stand around.These kind of crusades were from ministries which were then new . Some other times it was even more interesting with the cinema commonly called watoto kaeni chini where we would watch dramatized Bible. This cinema mode was mostly from SDA. I also remember some missionaries at our home who we used to hide from but one time I was caught unawares at my uncle's coffee farm. I remember kneeling down and repeating a prayer. I also remember Jehova witness giving some tracts. The school also would occasionally send us to a nearby catholic church for a mass. Inside the church, I would enjoy going round the church wall viewing paintings of the way of the cross. One thing that I find common in all this is that some people somewhere were busy spreading Gospel albeit in different ways and how they best know it and I confess in one way or the other, they have contributed to my knowledge of God and Savior Jesus Christ. This is fulfilment of Jesus's great commission that He did to His followers after resurrection. The soldiers who'd witnessed the resurrection were then bribed by priests to lie that Jesus Christ body had been stolen from grave by his disciples and the Bible records that the lie is still being spread. Today many are bribed by online comedies and other fishy stuffs that they might forget about the risen Jesus Christ. The god of this world knows what they love most and has chosen to entertain them with that to silence them from living Jesus' followers life. Which group do you belong to today? Do you belong to the followers of Jesus Christ who're called and are spreading the Gospel the best way they know it or are you there spreading lies and listening to the same as god of this world wants? Read Psalms 1 . The work of spreading the Gospel does not belong only to priests but to all followers of Jesus. A true follower of Jesus will always have something that furthers the Gospel by making others followers of Jesus. Baptism which represents death and resurrection into new life is mentioned here by Jesus as an important part of becoming His follower. How many believers of Jesus have you made since you were born again? I know denominations dictates that only priests to baptize but how many have you brought to be baptized? I pray that we'll all turn into God's mission tools in different ways God Has enabled us through Christ Jesus.Teach where you can, guide where you can, join where you can, support financially... be actively part of the team that is spreading the Good News. The promise of Jesus is "Matthew 28:20 NCV Teach them to obey everything that I have taught you, and I will be with you always, even until the end of this age.” God loves you, have a blessed day and weekend ahead. Shalom. Shalom.

"Test everything; hold fast what is good."_ — 1 Thessalonians 5:21 (ESV)

When the latest alien comet conspiracy hits your newsfeed, your first instinct might be to grab your tinfoil hat—or call for a church prayer meeting under the gymnasium bleachers. But pause. As believers, we’re called to be watchful, wise, and anchored in truth. We don’t panic—we weigh with discernment.

Discernment isn’t just smelling something fishy—it’s holding that fish up to the light of God’s Word to see if it’s even on the menu. In a culture full of sensational claims, viral posts, and spiritual half-truths, our job is not to believe less... but to believe better.

- Does this line up with Scripture?
- Is it rooted in fear or faith?
- What fruit does believing this produce—panic or peace?
- Bereans in Acts 17:11 didn’t just take Paul’s word for it—they examined the Scriptures daily to verify his teaching.
- Jesus Himself taught us to be wise as serpents and innocent as doves (Matthew 10:16)—alert, but not alarmed.
- Peter warned about false teachers sneaking in with clever stories (2 Peter 2:1–3)—not every tale is gospel truth.

1. Hold your beliefs up to the Word—not the trend.
2. Seek wisdom, not sensationalism.
3. Know the Shepherd’s voice (John 10:27)—so you don’t follow a stranger. (RSKA!)

Have a great day, and as always, let others see Jesus in you!
