Behavior Can Be Changed but Morality Cannot Be Legislated

The eyes of Kenyans seem to be all dissenting on Shakahola in Kilifi. That someone could convince fellow humans to starve themselves to death in order to meet Jesus seems incredible. Yet it happened and the bodies are there to prove it.

In this regard, many people are now calling for the regulation of churches by the state to save lives.

Think of the Dark Ages. God does not need the state’s help to guide Christianity. The state itself, sorry to say this, is rotten to the core. There’s still a lot that’s good in the ‘messy’ Church than there is in the state.

As for the proposal that preachers must hold a theology degree, this is a noble idea but we must remember, when Christ walked on earth, he chose ‘uneducated’ men to carry on the gospel work and had no kind words for the ‘educated’ religious leaders—the Pharisees.

So where does this leave us Christians? In his farewell speech to the Ephesian elders in Acts 20:29, Paul talks of savage wolves coming among the congregation which won’t spare the flock. In Galatians, he spoke of people distorting the gospel. In Philippians, he wrote about people who preached Christ from envy and rivalry.

In His teachings, Jesus warned about false prophets and teachers. God’s word is full of warnings about false prophets, false doctrines, false teachers, name them.

It is, therefore, our duty as Christians and seekers of the Truth to read God’s word, the Bible, prayerfully, and to ask God to give us a discerning mind. After being preached to we should go back to the scriptures to double-check whether whatever we have been told is indeed in God’s word.

We shouldn’t follow whatever is preached to us blindly. We’ve been created with free will and we enjoy freedom of conscience in this country.

Let’s make use of these tools at our disposal to stay on the right path and away from the ravenous wolves. Let us interrogate everything we’re told, of course by going back to the scriptures. It is our duty.
