Hey!

Okay, I'm gonna keep this blog as anonymous as possible and as real as I can to me, I've tried my best to hide all personal information, anyway. I'm hoping this blog will kinda give a view of what its like to be a Christian in Jamaica, the country I was born and raised in. I will make comments on my comments, it may be humourous in terms of content, but salvation is no joking matter.

According to the Guinness Book of World Records, Jamaica boasts the most churches per square mile in the entire world. *To be honest, what's the point of boasting that if that's just a building count, I say the church is the people of God who are STRIVING to live HOLY for God through Christ in unbiased Biblical Truth*

Now in Jamaica we have... "Fried chicken back, roast chicken back, stew...", with so many denominations, its so hard to pick which one suits me! *Oh boy, let me get my checklist ready...*

Checklist

1. Loose and vibrant
2. I get to wear anything I want
3. Don't want to mess up my hairdo
4. Rigid and Boring
5. There has to be a drumset
6. Pastor preaches with an accent
7. I wanna blend in with the crowd
8. Look and dress like the world  and call miself Christian, heh heyah (lol).
9.  Messages shouldn't make me feel too guilty
10.  ...

Just stop for a moment and listen to yourself!!

The last time I checked... According to Scripture...

1 John 2:15-17 (KJV)

Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

Just to highlight a little, you see, by choosing what you want, you allow yourself to become void of what God requires of you and rather than say, "Thy will be done." We actually are saying, "My will be done."

The first part is a warning, in other words, if we find ourselves loving the worldliness and how it looks, behaves, and reacts. Its time to get a "wash out". Because we can see that our focus has shifted from Christ, to the world. Don't fool yourself in thinking that the devil, Satan can't trick you because you're smarter than that... Look again, you're in the trap already, it is God's grace that keeps us, not we ourselves and Satan has been doing this for a few thousand years.

The second speaks about what you will find in the world, and in essence, truly reveals why we are motivated to actually go back the way of compromise, lust of the eyes, the flesh and pride, in other words, because of what we see everyone else doing, because of some sexual feelings or because we not humble, but want to be exalted some of the time... Please, brethren, don't fall for it. We need Christ to transform us, ever step of the way.

Last part, the world will pass away, all the glitz and the glamour and all that was not of God. DECIMATED!! BUT HE THAT DOETH THE WILL OF GOD ABIDETH FOREVER!! Amen.

One verse comes to mind.

Matthew 7:21 (KJV)
Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

God bless you Jamaica, turn to the Lord Christ Jesus... You too rest of the world!!
