Church Chronicles With Ayo Talks

There's never been such a problematic gospel as the purity gospel, there's been all sorts of problematic and terrible doctrines but nothing as problematic as this one.  What is the purity gospel? A gospel that teaches you the more you abstain and refrain from fornication and sexual acts the "better" you are than those who who have taken part in those things, yes we must abstain and prepare ourselves for marriage as the scriptures say, but we also shouldn't have an inferiority complex over those who are not abstaining. It has also been an issue in the Christian community when Christian couples or married couples have had a lack of desire for each other purity gospel has taught us that affection or sex is so bad that Christian married couples have suffered. Sex is not a bad thing it was given to us by God unfortunately society and the devil have perverted it doesn't mean we should stigmatize hence why I'm so against the purity gospel!  How do we combat purit...

I watched an interview with iconic gospel singer Kirk Franklin once, and he said to get closer to God he had to lose his religion. and I got what he said he wasn't talking about the religion James 1 talks about he was talking about man-made, routine religion.  What is man-made routine religion? A religion that makes you serve God on autopilot, you only do what the church says, you follow the doctrine that has nothing to do with God you pray in the same, lethargic and cliche way & you fast in the same, lethargic and cliche way, God wants to have a faith where it's not robotic, not routine because organised and routine religion takes us far from God.  For this reason, Jesus called out the religious Christians, when He was here on earth because they were doing the things as I mentioned in the previous paragraph plus being performative. Our faith needs to be a lamp that's burning for the fire that's mentioned in the Old Testament , how do we do this? Knowing the word fo...

  The day I heard this time my faith changed forever, what is spiritual deconstruction? Do I have to be a new Christian? Do I have to start again? In today's blog, I'll describe what this term means and how we can deconstruct our faith.  What is spiritual deconstruction? It's termed coined by the American modern-day church where they teach Christians, ways we can rethink, unlearn and be reborn so we can have better and stronger faith and a stronger relationship with God, for example when your old shoes/trainers are full of hole's and broken you replace them, old buildings need to be renovated so they can last longer and look better, as Christians we need to be deconstructing our faith, we can do this by unlearning toxic Christian traditions such as abandoning ex-church members, judging certain demographics of society, getting baptised again if you went back to sin, finding a better way to worship those are one of the ways we can deconstruct our faith. I deconstructed my...

  We as Christians need to come out of this mindset of thinking we have to be like the world to attract the world, yes this model may work in the advertising and marketing world it doesn't work with the spiritual things such as making spiritual content.  Christians think we need a Christian Love Island, Christian Breakfast Club or whatever the world makes we must make to get as many people as possible to God, even gospel music has taken this cliche route to many gospel artists sounding like Migo's, Drake or Beyonce, this Is not what God want's!!!!! God wants us to be authentic, empathetic and enthusiastic when we are making content for Him! Yes, we can take ideas and concepts from secular content but we shouldn't try to be exactly like secular content!  Today's blog is not all for believers it's mainly for Christian who create content for the kingdom of God!!! Jesus didn't confirm what was hot and popular when He was on this earth so why should we? This is w...
