Quick thoughts: Same-sex snowball?
Posted: May 16, 2008, 12:21 am by Frank
Is legalized same-sex marriage going nationwide in the U.S?
As most of us may have heard by now four judges decided to overturn the will of the people of state of California this week and legalized same-sex marriage there. It seems to me it may be just a matter of a few years before the whole of U.S legalizes same-sex marriage. Unfortunately the gay-rights movement seems to be winning over people to their side and attitudes are softening on legalizing same-sex marriage. The movement has deceived people into believng its some kind of human rights issue to engage in unnatural and sinful activities. They are sort of equalizing it to the 1960's civil rights movement for African-Americans and many people are falling for it. When you look at this issue at its core, its not about gaining equal rights as citizens(they already have civil unions) but its about forcing everyone to ACCEPT and ENDORSE the homosexual lifestyle, so that its becomes just an alternative lifetyle. That is why they are so intent on getting same-sex "marriage" so that marriage can be made to take any form(not just 1 man-1 woman). What is to stop 5 people who "really love each" other from marrying (polygamy) in future? What do you think,. has the snowball of same-sex marriage started. And should Christians fight to keep it illegal or should we leave it upto God to judge them? -

Yafesi speaks with Mwafrika
Posted: May 14, 2008, 10:20 pm by Frank
Check out a feature Hope FM presenter Yafesi Musoke did with mwafrika.com I think Yafesi is a good presenter, he is has a calm demeanour unlike other presenters that try to be loud and all in your ear!
The ability to grab a hold of your on-air audience and have them latch onto your
every word is the domain of few radio presenters. Witty, inspirational and with
a voice to match, Hope FM’s Yafesi Musoke knows all about that.
A name
almost synonymous with Christian radio, Yafesi’s efforts are felt not only on
the station programming, but also on their creative and often very interesting
commercials.Off-air, this host of the breakfast show Activate is a simple man
who finds fun in being inventive, and as with all really creative minds, is a
self-confessed introvert. For his listeners, the latter bit may be a tad
difficult to believe, given his outgoing radio persona. This, he says, is
actually one of the main challenges he faces as a presenter. He explains:

Posted: May 13, 2008, 6:02 pm by Frank
Wow! I have a black friend studying in Russia right now so this short documentary hit me hard and it was painful to watch. Russia has a terrible problem of racism rising in their country and I really feel that their government hasn't been called out enough on it. With half the worlds neo-Nazi's currently living in Russia, I think this is something that should even go as high as the United Nations, which after all which is an organization that was built on the tragedy that was the Nazi holocaust. It would be really tragic for history to repeat itself when we can stop this growing menace right now while it is not yet widespread. I say stop these people before their ideology takes root in the country! (Warning: video contains graphic violence)

Chasemode: Man With a MessageIn ...
Posted: May 7, 2008, 2:33 am by Frank
Chasemode: Man With a Message
In this age of alot of music lacking a message, one wonders if there are any artists left worth listening to, well there are. Using reggae grooves as his template, armed with the Spirit of God and a powerful message Chasemode, as his name suggests is a Kenyan Gospel artist in pursuit of God’s own heart and has a word for the youth of today. In this, the first Kenya Christian blog interview I caught up with Chasemode to share with us about himself and his music.
::Kenya Christian:: How did you get into Gospel music?
Chasemode: Well, I was born in a Christian family and began to go church while still young, building my foundation as a Christian hence creating opportunities leading to where I am now.
I love all types of positive music but most importantly the lyrics of the music; I believe what makes music Gospel or not is the words in the music. With that in context, a passion to spread the word of God especially to the youth through modern music (Gospel Reggae) grew strongly in me and still boils till today, which caused me to take a step of faith to start writing and recording music.
::KC:: Why did you decide to get into Gospel music and not secular?
Ch: Most of the influence came from my upbringing in a Christian fearing family and environment. I got into Gospel music mainly because I believe in Jesus Christ as my personal Savior and believe that Christ is coming soon, so it’s a calling for me to spread the word and love of God to many Nations before his returning.
::KC:: What do you think of the current Gospel music industry in Kenya?
Ch: As far as I know I think it pretty good but my prayer is that people will appreciate Gospel musicians more and that musicians could be able to support themselves with the income from music and not has to work other jobs. (For the full time ministers)
::KC:: Do you think some people get into Kenyan Gospel scene just for the fame and money?
Ch: Yes I believe so. It is rather tempting to be attracted by the worldly desires of fame and money and girls. It takes intense prayer, fasting and reading of the word of God to withstand these worldly desires.
::KC:: I see you have your album up on the KenyaGospel.com website. Do you think the internet is the future of music distribution and should more Kenyan artists make their music available on the internet?
Ch: Yes. As technology rises CD’s will be soon obsolete, Digital music is now taking over, you know, as much as Gospel music is a ministry it is also a business. I believe that if I make investment in something, I ought to get it back so I really recommend that more Kenyan Gospel musicians make their music available digitally.
::KC:: How do you get inspired to write lyrics?
Ch: I get inspired mainly by what I see in my day-to-day life, my struggles and experiences in my Christian walk, and also by observing what I like or don’t like about our generation.
::KC:: Now that you are currently in the United States, how do you compare the Gospel industry in the U.S versus that in Kenya?
Ch: Well that’s a hard question, but at least I can get by with my music career here in the U.S easier than I can in Kenya. Here in the U.S people are somewhat a little bit more appreciative of my music. Also the cost of production is not as high as Kenya considering the income of a common man.
::KC:: What lessons can the Kenyan industry take from the Gospel industry in the U.S?
Ch: Um.. here in the U.S people tend have better organization in terms of marketing of the artist and the music especially because most of the work is done online.
::KC:: Which artists on the Kenyan and international scene do you like?
Ch: Kenya- Zaidi ya mziki, SK blue, Kiki, M.O.G, Jimmie Gait, D Kamaa and many more.
International- Monty G, Mr. Lynx, Chevelle Franklyn, Omari, and Stichie… the list is endless
::KC:: Have you performed at any events in the U.S yet?
Ch: Oh yes lots of them…. I’ve been to TX, SC, NC, IN, OH, NJ, PA, GA, DE, VA and of course my home state MD.
::KC:: In your new song “Satan Dread” you mention fornication. Do you find there to be immorality in the American culture?
Ch: Yes, immorality is on the rise here in the States, especially among the young generation. People now live on relative truth rather than absolute truth.
::KC:: Do you think Kenya is in danger of going down that path too?
Ch: I really think these trends can be also seen in the Kenyan culture as well particularly because we are an English speaking country we tend to adapt American way of life faster than most of the African countries do.
::KC:: In the same song you also talk about people fighting. There has been recent horrific violence in Kenya. What do you think Kenyans should do to live in harmony, and is it only the leaders to blame or do we all have a role?
Ch: In my opinion there should be no tribal differences we are all united as Kenyans. Yes we might have disagreements but they should not cause us to fight. I pray for love among the people of Kenya, oneness, one mind, one goal, one direction and one Nation in peace and accord. All I can ask for as Christians to continuously pray for our country, something’s go away only by intense prayer and fasting.
::KC:: What is the name of the new album, and when can we expect it?Ch: The album is called Human Emergency and comes out sometime this year (note: this blog will be sure to announce when it is available)
::KC:: Where will it be available?
Ch: [www.chasemode.com], kenyagospel.com, kenyachristian.blogspot.com, kimmediagroup.com
::KC:: Lastly, what would you like to say to the fans and any aspiring Gospel artists out there?
Ch: To all the aspiring artists, the magic words are keep on keeping on, always serve God and know that the road will not be easy but the sole purpose, which is to win souls for the Kingdom of God is worth it. To all my fans, what can I say other than thank you for your support to my ministry is may the Lord bless you and always keep you in His loving arms.

Burma first.
I was going to blog on the winners in the recently held Groove Awards, but right now I think we should be thinking about those facing hardship and grieving in Burma, and we should be praying for them.
However if you would like to read about it later, kenyagospel.com has all the info here. -
This Cursed world

This Cursed world
The situation in Burma once again demonstrates the fallen world we reside in that is still crying out for restoration, when that final trumpet of the Archangel sounds and Our Saviour returns to wipe away our every tear. Recent reports indicate the death toll from the cyclone in Burma has reached anywhere from 10-13,000 people with many still missing. Just like that, the size of a stadium wiped out in a flash! This should only serve to remind us of how precious and fleeting life really is and thus we must spend every waking minute in serving the One who created us and and also loving and serving our neighbour as Jesus taught us.
May God send His Holy Spirit to comfort those suffering in Burma. Amen
(Note: If you have any websites through which we can assist those in Burma please share.)

Video: Ambasada - "Watoto Inkane"
Check out the classic and upbeat song "Watoto Inkane" from Ambasada (what ever happened to him?) feat. Grace & Nyumbani Children's home that was a big hit in Kenya. The song has a kwaito groove to it. I think Ambasada is a great talent and I hope we can get to hear more from him in future. Ambasada...if you get to read this, contact the blog!

IDP resettlement too hasty.
Posted: May 4, 2008, 2:13 pm by Frank
IDP resettlement too hasty.
In my view resettling the internally diplaced people(IDP's) back to the area's they were chased out of just recently especially the Rift Valley, would be a foolhardy and unwise move. It is quite clear that there are tensions that exist between two communities (Kalenjn & Kikuyu) in that area. Hastily resettling people back together without dealing with the root issues that led to the conficts is a disservice to all the people concerned. There are issues between the communities concerned that clearly go deeper than just one election(e.g land,jobs) that need to be tackled and dealt with in a serious manner before any type of harmony can be restored in those hard hit areas. Until there is some kind of reconciliation and the diferent communities in the area can learn to trust each other, and live side by side..forced ressetlements will only make the tensions worse. Alternative and realistic solutions need to be found and not stop-gap measures. -
