Solomon said it is Ecclesiastes, there is nothing new under the sun, what has been, has been dome before. The news today can be disheartening; Nine people killed at a church Bible Study in Charleston, SC, ISIS killing and abuse of Christians, murder rate in the small country of the Bahamas, a young woman killed and a man losing one leg; (the driver after an altercation takes his car and rams them and keeps pushing the gas), the number of gambling establishments rampant in the Bahamas, abortions unreported in the Bahamas, unwed pregnancy at 70% in the Bahamas, churches on almost every corner in the Bahamas, marriages on the rocks in the Bahamas, condoms and birth control are the solution to our sexual immorality, young people searching and not finding......
We can put so many names to all of these things but the only name is "Sin". We have allowed the devil to run rampant; we have sat back and built our little earthly kingdoms that will waste away and let the roaring lion loose. We have seen things and turned a blind eye, saying that it is none of my business. We have believed the world lies that to gain wealth and power will make us happy. We have so wanted to make our children's lives better than ours that we have sold them down the eternal road of slavery to the world's system.
AND NOW.....we cry! The good news is that it is not to late. The TRUTH is still free. The Answer has been there since the beginning and there is still time to accept the truth that Jesus died for. It is still time for the remnant to stand up and be counted. You see one day, every knee shall bow, every tongue confess that He is lord because He is. "All have fallen short of the glory of God", all of us, me being one of the chief sinners, but, I know the way of truth and life! I have seen His hand and will not turn back. I am in the race, the battle. Are You!
"Every jot and tittle will be judged" ...that means every word we say, our thoughts, our actions. Believers rise up, the time has come for us to be counted. To begin to turn back to the one true love. To love like no one's business. Jesus says the greatest commandment is love. How can we demonstrate this love to the world that they will want our Jesus. I am planted right here in the Bahamas and so my work is here; to share the gospel, to share His love, to reach the lost for Him and for their own sake, that they will not see eternal damnation. Through love I will pray for my brothers and sisters, fellow human beings here in the Bahamas and around the world; that they will come to Him.
Let's call it what it is, in order that we might bring about a change. The foundation is shaken and there is only one way to shore it up.......
Proverbs 14
There is a way which seems right to a man,But its end is the way of death. Even in laughter the heart may be in pain,And the end of joy may be grief. The backslider in heart will have his fill of his own ways,But a good man will be satisfied with his.
The naive believes everything,But the sensible man considers his steps. A wise man is cautious and turns away from evil,But a fool is arrogant and careless. A quick-tempered man acts foolishly,And a man of evil devices is hated.
The naive inherit foolishness,But the sensible are crowned with knowledge.The evil will bow down before the good,And the wicked at the gates of the righteous.The poor is hated even by his neighbor,But those who love the rich are many. He who despises his neighbor sins,But happy is he who is gracious to the poor.Will they not go astray who devise evil?But kindness and truth will be to those who devise good.
In all labor there is profit,But mere talk leads only to poverty. The crown of the wise is their riches,But the folly of fools is foolishness. A truthful witness saves lives,But he who utters lies is treacherous.
In the fear of the Lord there is strong confidence,And his children will have refuge. The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life,That one may avoid the snares of death. In a multitude of people is a king’s glory,But in the dearth of people is a prince’s ruin. He who is slow to anger has great understanding,But he who is quick-tempered exalts folly. A tranquil heart is life to the body,But passion is rottenness to the bones. He who oppresses the poor taunts his Maker,But he who is gracious to the needy honors Him. The wicked is thrust down by his wrongdoing,But the righteous has a refuge when he dies. Wisdom rests in the heart of one who has understanding,But in the hearts of fools it is made known.Righteousness exalts a nation,But sin is a disgrace to any people.The king’s favor is toward a servant who acts wisely,But his anger is toward him who acts shamefully.
Matthew 16:15 speaks about going into the world and preaching the gospel to all of creation. I Am A Witness of the power of the Gospel to save lives, to redeem what was lost and the immeasurable grace available to those who choose to follow and accept Christ as their Savior. My personal story speaks of all these things but there is so much more. Come with me on this journey as I share my insights with you! May you be blessed!
