@dc63108 @Ian_San254 And is lust not a sin?

[Okemo Benard @benard_okemo]

@harm3t @Ian_San254 Mathew 5:28- Jesus's teaching that looking at someone with lust is akin to adultery and hence a sin. Masturbation is often linked to lust involving fantasizing about specific people, pornography, or objectifying mental content.

@esrc_hakijamii @GermanyinKenya @NRC_Norway @DRC_ngo @drckenya @Misereor @Diplo_Jazz @WWF_Africa @WWFSverige @hfh_kenya @Welthungerhilfe When community paralegals are empowered with policy knowledge and practical legal skills, they become powerful agents of justice, accountability, and community transformation.

One of the key success stories that was shared is the official launch & ground breaking of the Kongowea Level 4 Hospital which took place on 27th April. It’s proof that when communities unite to push for accountability, real-world change (like better healthcare) becomes a reality

Institutions/organisations do not collapse because founders are absent; they collapse when succeeding leadership makes poor strategic decisions. Classic case with ODM party.

True justice is when every community has secure rights to land, a healthy environment, resilient to climate variability & a voice in decisions that shape their future.

The greatest obstacle to self-mastery is not other people or circumstances but our own emotions.
