@ ngwono

you see ngwono,if i end up in the wrong place just because you were economical with the truth about the place,in Gods eyes,is it righteousness? if i 'got lost' would you justify your actions by the fact that you did not want to talk about bad things that you saw or experienced in Mavuno?

I am a Mavuno member and those of who who have never been there should check it out. We believe that we serve a Real God who is involved in our Real issues and and is big enough to be there for us when we ask Him to be. P Square and other musicians offer a world view that is contrary to what a God fearing person should believe. At Mavuno,we present that world view that we are all so used to and then present it in the light of Gods word to make it relevant.

B the way,if you think Mavuno is out of the ordinary,check out our sister church Mavuno Downtown at Tintin Restaurant KICC at 10AM on Sunday,I can assure you it rocks especially if you are 30yrs and below.

Check out our website www.mavunochurch.org for a sample of the brochure with lady with crossed legs,goto sermons&gt;players of the bible. Listen to the sermon.

@TomBoy

I have taken a look at that brochure and i don't think it is very appropriate for any church material. I dont think something like that would be printed by JC

@Bills

what is 'church material'. The reason we are where we are as a society is because we have dichotomized our minds into 'church mode' and 'world mode'. We are holy and nice on sunday but cursing and bribing on Monday morning. Mavuno is a church that has decided,' lets not pretend that we are all holy in church'. We are trying to reach out to that generation that will only come to church if they think and feel its cool to be in church. We are reaching out to the world with the instruments avilable to us in this day and age. By the way,did you listen to the sermons?. Paul declares in the bible that he became all things to all men just for the sake of spreading the gospel. That brochure that you say should not be in church is the same one that brought someone to church,He/she heard the gospel and has been attending church since then. Mavuno is trying to be creative to bring into church those who would ordinarily not go to church because they believe you cant have fun in church. Yet the bible is quite clear that 'He came so we may have life and have it more abundantly.'

I know what I am saying when I say have life more abunduntly. I used to rave and have fun with my peers back then in campus..... until I got saved and discovered what real fun is.

Oh by the way,I think JC would print it if He thought it would bring a certain Kamau,Atieno or Kirui from the bar and into church

I tend to disagree with majority of the contributors here.... First,we have to make God look good to the society,by saying this,I mean we have to move away from deception,where we think that Hip Hop and Reggae is the the way.... e.g I look at Kirk Franklin,his music is just perfect,no imitation nothing.. thats how we need to think.

Deception makes us think that what we see and hear is better than what we can do! I also believe that the more we 'try to take it back' the more they take it further away..

I also think that its not about Churches,to me church is more of a religion,what we need to think about is raising Christians!..

What we are.. God made us.. What we know... God taught us... what we have.. God gave us.. Who we are.. He made us!


wish is yesterday,hope is tomorrow.. today we make or break!

While the justification of the happenings at Mavuno is almost convincing,I still think we need to either redefine christainity or call a spade a spade. In chritianity,the end does not justify the means and so using the lady in the bronchure to draw a crowd is wrong and thelogically misplaced.

Some one coming to church usually is tired of the 'world' and is escaping,if he/she then find the what she was tired of being introduced in church...what a dissapoinment.


Rom 6:1-2


Rom 6:1

What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound?
Rom 6:2

By no means! How can we who died to sin still live in it?
God is not in desperate campaign but he seeks to open peoples to see that he who want to lose his life will gain it but he who want to gain will lose. Deny yourself...Thats was Jesus message.

- The apostle is very full in pressing the necessity of holiness. He does not explain away the free grace of the gospel,but he shows that connexion between justification and holiness are inseparable. Let the thought be abhorred,of continuing in sin that grace may abound. True believers are dead to sin,therefore they ought not to follow it. No man can at the same time be both dead and alive. He is a fool who,desiring to be dead unto sin,thinks he may live in it.

Let me give my two cents to this heated debate.........

I have not been to Mavuno nor seen the brochure that is bieng referred to here,however i appreciate the fact that mavuno is trying to be creative and relevant to the current society as possible and no wonder the youth are flocking in.....paul said that to the romans i will be like a roman to the jews i will be a jew.but if we look at the life of paul or 'JC' do we see any compromise or extremes? What we need to look at here is 'striking a balance'. paul talked about Gods grace which was readly availabe to all but do we fustrate that grace by going to one extreme? I believe the chuch is a place where the sinner can find God by bieng seeing diffrence from the world but not a place to 'go have fun' and then go home the same! Just like a truely born again christian would not go to a stripe club or drink the whole night and remain the same.The church should not be a place where religius fanatics also go to pump themselves up with emotions but a place where we meet with God together with other believers and have fellowship but indeed we must walk with God from Monday to Sunday.


The best is yet to come!
The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.
