Peter Mutharika Returns: Malawi Votes for Change
Faith Facts
- Peter Mutharika, former president, won Malawi’s 2025 election with 57% of the vote, defeating incumbent Lazarus Chakwera.
- Lazarus Chakwera, an Assemblies of God minister turned politician, conceded and peacefully transferred power after one term.
- Economic hardship, rising corruption concerns, and unfulfilled campaign promises influenced the nation’s decision at the ballot box.
The recent election in Malawi marked a rare and peaceful transition, as Peter Mutharika reclaimed the presidency in a moment that stands out for its respect for constitutional order. The people of Malawi acted on their God-given right to choose leaders, rejecting failed policies and seeking solutions rooted in integrity and accountability.
Chakwera’s tenure, despite notable improvements in public health and infrastructure, was ultimately overshadowed by economic mismanagement and concerns over ethical governance. The call from Malawi’s Church leaders reminded citizens of the biblical mandate to select leaders who genuinely serve and uplift the nation.
“From those official results,” said Chakwera in a televised speech, “It was clear that my main rival, His Excellency Peter Mutharika of the Democratic Progressive Party had already secured an insurmountable lead and is the presumptive winner of the presidential election.”
The peaceful concession and transfer of power exemplify respect for the people’s will and Malawi’s commitment to democratic values grounded in faith and freedom. Let us continue to pray for the nation of Malawi, its new leadership, and for believers everywhere to uphold righteousness and wisdom in public life.

Should Christians Stay on X or Leave Social Media
Faith Facts
- Christians are called to be light in dark places according to Scripture.
- Abandoning public forums entirely may limit gospel witness.
- Engaging flawed platforms can still serve truth and salt-and-light purposes.
Christians are wrestling with whether to stay on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, amid growing concerns over trolls, deepfakes, and outrage-driven content. Many believers question if their presence on such platforms does more harm than good.
Lois Mclatchie Miller argues that retreating from every imperfect space risks silencing the Christian voice where it is most needed. She reminds readers that darkness cannot be dispelled if the light is taken away.
“If Christians abandon every flawed public forum, our light will never be able to shine in the darkness.”
The debate reflects broader tensions between protecting personal peace and fulfilling the Great Commission in a digital age. Traditional values emphasize engagement over isolation when truth is at stake.
While critics highlight the platform’s problems, supporters note that X remains one of the few spaces where open debate and conservative perspectives can still flourish. Leaving could hand ground to voices hostile to faith and family.

Polyamory Advocates Recycle Same Arguments Once Used for Same-Sex Marriage
Faith Facts
- Scripture consistently affirms marriage as the lifelong union of one man and one woman, established by God in Genesis 2:24.
- Christian teaching holds that sexual intimacy is designed exclusively for the covenant of marriage between husband and wife.
- Believers are called to defend biblical truth with gentleness and clarity amid shifting cultural definitions of family and relationships.
Activists pushing polyamory are now repeating the same lines once deployed to advance same-sex marriage. The familiar refrains about unclear biblical teaching and God being on the side of love are resurfacing in new debates. Christians must recognize the pattern and prepare faithful responses.
These arguments appear in recent opinion pieces and social media campaigns that frame polyamorous arrangements as simply another expression of committed love. Proponents claim that Scripture does not explicitly forbid multiple partners in all cases. They insist that genuine affection should override traditional definitions of family structure.
Yet the biblical witness remains consistent from Genesis through the New Testament. Marriage is presented as a covenant between one man and one woman, reflecting the relationship between Christ and His Church. Attempts to expand that definition rest on selective readings that ignore the full counsel of Scripture.
Church leaders and parents are increasingly confronted with these ideas in schools, workplaces, and even some congregations. Clear teaching on the sanctity of marriage provides the firm foundation needed to answer cultural pressure. Standing on God’s Word equips believers to respond with both truth and compassion.
