Praying with Your Eyes Open
Most of us grew up in homes where we were taught to close our eyes when praying. However, today’s topic is “Praying with Your Eyes Open.” Such a caption is bound to stimulate some reaction sparking some of you to ask, ...

Awesome discussion topic!
Thank you, Sis. Albury for sharing your insight. It certainly is the voice of experience that is the true "authority" - not the voice that speaks most eloquently or loudly. I agree with you 110%!

I agree with all that has been expressed thus far on this blog regarding this subject, but wanted to add a few areas that I think we can also share with our membership.
This is a very sensitive area that has been broached. However, I do believe th...
It seems funeral services are becoming more of a challenge every year. Whatever the challenge, we must look at the purpose of the service. What is it for? All services and functions of the Seventh-day Adventist Church are evangelistic. Whatever su...
You are right some people who are ask to do one thing get up and do there own thank. You can try and get them to sit down but it is hard. A funeral service to me can be short to two hours three if you must. The funeral is never for the person who ...

“Before Kings” The President's Blog for November 27, 2009
A most piercing and penetrating Bible passage is found in Acts 9:15. There, God clearly outlined the mission of one formerly an anti-Christian named Saul, who would later become known as Paul. The passage states: “But the Lord said to him, ‘Go, for he is a chosen vessel of Mine to bear My name before Gentiles, kings, and the children of Israel.’”
What do we learn from this passage?
Among other factors, we learn that God is inclusive, in that He desires all persons to be presented with th… Continue

Positive Year-round! The President's Blog for November 20, 2009
Generally, folks regard November as a month of thanksgiving, especially the latter part of the month. However, one’s orientation will determine what thanksgiving means. Accordingly, I proffer a few thoughts in the context of thanksgiving.
Gratitude - A State of Mind
The Apostle Paul enjoins us “to give thanks always.” What does that mean? Is one being called upon to give thanks under all circumstances? How can one be positive when he or she has been afflicted with pain as result of a murder of a… Continue

Feel free to make your comments below. Undeniably television technology represents one of the most powerful means of transmitting the gospel locally and abroad. That is something that we knew and welcomed when we entered into an arrangement with Cable Bahamas, a local cable company in the Bahamas, to insert a few hours of local programming into the time allotted for 3ABN on channel #53. In fact, we may have up to six (6) hours daily. Well, fellow leaders it may please you to know t… Continue

40 DAY COUNTDOWN
Some time ago I shared with you plans pertaining to the “Follow the Bible” initiative.

We are now on a countdown to receive the actual Bible in West Indies Union on Friday, December 11, 2009 at the Donald Sangster International Airport in Montego Bay, Jamaica. This past Sunday, November 1, marked a ‘Forty-day Count… Continue

- Dr. J I will not forget that you were the leader in communication at the beginning of this hightech age. I have been off more than on so I am a little late in joining your blog. Way to go. "Bishop" Johnson just to let you know that Bahamians of other denominations know who our leader is. I keep getting hello for you, and admonition to speak to the bishop for he is a good man and well able to address matters as well as I remarks like I saw and spoke with your bishop last week and so on etc. etc.. To God be the Glory. The one and only Randolph Bowlin http://www.facebook.com/rhtbc
