Today we remember how Martin Luther wrote 95 Theses on the church door in Wittenburg, Germany on 31st October 1517....Kila mwaka Jumapili ya mwisho wa mwezi wa kumi ni siku ya kukumbuka matengenezo ya Kanisa.....

The Psalmist is feeling harassed and oppressed by his enemies. He calls out to God for justice and mercy. He asks God to help him... Mtunga zaburi anamlilia Mungu. Anajisikia kuteswa na maadui zake. Anamwomba Mungu huruma na haki.

Through the Prophet Jeremiah God proclaimed judgement upon His people. The King and people of Judah had not been faithful to God so God allowed them to be taken captive and their country destroyed. ...Mungu alimtumia nabii Yeremia kuonya mfalme na watu wa Yuda. Mfalme alipotosha watu na walimwasi Mungu. Waliabudu miungu wengine.....

This is the testimony of Job. He suffered a lot in his life. But he did not give up his faith in God....Huu ni ushuhuda wa Ayubu. Alikuwa mcha Mungu. Aliteswa sana katika maisha yake lakini hakukata tamaa..

In place of the word slaves we may put servants or employees. The concept is that we should all respect one another and be obedient to those who are placed in authority over us.....Kila mtu anapaswa kutii mamlaka iliyopo. Kila mtu amewekwa chini ya mamlaka fulani....
