How to be a Christian in Jamaica

Now this post may, at first seem like something that should teach us how to be true Christians and how to walk righteously and godly in this perverse generation. I will eventually expound on that. trust me... But this is just to show just how much of a moral decline this country has. Now maybe it just my experience and I'm not saying its that all of Jamaica is far gone, but admittedly, it is so noticeable.

1. The law isn't enforces as much as it should be.
2. The nation's "young people" have something I would term as "Fabric Deficiency Syndrome" which notably is a criminal offense, (which is not enforced...) see the comic below
3. You will definitely hear indecent cursing almost on every street corner. (Section 9c of the Town and Community Act)
4. One minute your neighbour could be playing the sweet gospel and the next minute the most indecent piece of crap to the ears and the soul. (Good Grief)

Take for example a piece from the Observer:

If whilst using a public thoroughfare you rip your pants and your rear end is exposed, or your garment is designed or has been adjusted to show that area you can be charged for indecent exposure. A fine of $1500 or 30 days in jail... Section 9 of The Act

Moral decay has allowed us to be partial to the law... I've once heard that the officers don't arrest persons, especially women (for the male officers that is) because they like to see the lewd dressing of women. I don't know how true it is and I don't like to go by speculation...

So here is the step by step of... 

I don't know if you've ever experienced it before, but I have several times, on the buses that I've been on, it sometimes happens when I decide to open mouth to the person next to me. I say the very words that I had learned from my growing up saying to any stranger that I would pass, two simple words.

"Good morning"

That's what I mean. You can now become a Christian just by saying good morning to a stranger, or be recognised as one. Sometimes even saying the regular pleasantries will catch people off guard.

It's last days people! We know it... By the attitudes of those around us and even in ourselves we can see.

Lets look at 2 Timothy 3:

1. This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
   
   
2. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3. Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4. Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5. Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

I suppose each of us can look around us and in ourselves and see this list and even come up with some examples of where we see this happening... The 2nd is especially true around us and it saddens me.

I think I'm gonna look into the law and see where I haven't been a law abiding citizen, merely because of ignorance. I gave up a lot of stuff already, thanks to God, truly it was an overnight thing so I can't say it was me.

Lets pray for the nation and do something about it. God bless!
