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…
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.

Let be sure that we are using this for religous purposes only.
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 th…

Among the most delightful and joyful celebrations performed by a pastor is that of a wedding, as it affords him the opportunity “to minister in a joyful and spiritual celebration for couples and their families and friends.” However, it can also turn…
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, “I…
Usually the Pathfinder Honor Guard are used at funerals when either, outstanding church leaders, pastors, members, who may have given their services to the Pathfinders or the church on at large in a very substantial way. Perhaps we can say that ever…
We are pleased to have the opportunity to connect our voices to this conversation.
We wish to commend the President for this forum and support his effort not only to talk, but to hear and to listen to the voices of the wider Adventist Community, on…
Dear Pastor Johnson:
I appreciate your once again addressing these issues regarding the last rite of Seventh-day Adventists members/or funerals. I to have a problem with using the phrase "Home Going" as a Seventh-day Adventists because of the cultu…
Share your ideas. Ask your questions.
Given the significant response to last week’s update on Funeral Etiquette (which was also carried in one of the local daily newspapers --the Nassau Guardian), I thought to do an additional article related to fu…
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 second the call for lea…
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 that…
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 supp…

Escalating Crime- Who is to Blame? The President's Blog for December 4, 2009
The current wave of violent crime and apparent lawlessness has reached an unacceptable level in our country. It is impossible not to notice or be unaware of this trend, as almost each day we tune into the news we learn of someone who has been robbed, raped or stabbed. Unfortunately, our murder count for this year is nearing 80. For a population of around 350,000, this is just too much. In fact, the taking of one life is one too many. This was painfully highlighted in the case of the senseless ga… Continue

“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

Expanding to Embrace “Now Opportunities” - The President's Blog for November 13, 2009
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

- 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..
