The importance of this Advent sign was recognized by New Testament believers. Paul, for example, warns Timothy about the godlessness of the last days, saying: ***"But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God -- having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them" (II Timothy 3:1-5, NIV).***

Some people say V Alfred Gray is like a cat. No matter what scrapes and scandals he gets himself into, he somehow manages to land on his feet. All four. Well this may be the last time for Gray or is it?

Did Adam and Eve have to catch a flight or catch a ship to name the animals? Ok then

@ banker. If you studied history and geography you would know the earth was one single land mass before the flood.

@Chucky if you had to tell BEC to take the electricity out the power line where exactly do they look for it? They go to the source from whence it came. The soul comes from the father and there is where it returns. You pay BEC for your electricity every month but do you ever see it? All you know is when the light and the tv don't come on the electricity is not on. And if you wake up one morning and find your own self dead then you know your soul is gone. To be absent from the body is to be present with the father.

Trust me anyone can get caught in buying stolen items, especially with these well organized car rings that set up shop, sell vehicles,then disappears. And if you see the amount of items being sold on Facebook or even over the internet, you can imagine the amount of persons who get ripped off everyday. For example this young man was buying a cell phone over the 'net. I advised him that you should only purchase those type of items from reputable companies that you can track down in case there's a problem. His response was "don't worry, I know what I doing." And sure enough the person disappeared with his $800.00. Now he wants to take the law in his own hands and 'deal ' with the person.

How can three major political parties go on campaigning for office when 51 persons have been murdered in less than four months? More disturbing it the country seems bound to set a new murder record this year that will exceed 150. Isn't it now time to call in behavioral scientists, criminalologists civic leaders spiritual advisors and try to get to the bottom of these murders and stem the killings? What about a publicity campaign to discourage young men from joining gangs and getting involved in the drug culture. One that involves visits to junior and senior high schools and to crime ridden neighborhoods and engages 'at risk ' young men in workshops. Any effort is better than sitting on your hands and seemingly just looking on.

When people who live in glass houses throw stones you should duck and get out the way. Because if you don't get hit by stones you may get cut by flying glass. And when you see Bradley Roberts and the PLP constantly throwing stones at the same person, trust me the reason run deeper than you think.

The Bahamas has had at least a decade of elite, high performance athletes keeping us in the international spotlight. Unfortunately a lot of them are moving off the scene to start families or go into other careers. Then many of the younger athletes who perform well in high school or at Carifta do not make that transition from high school to college. In the US the competition is different and unless they have strong discipline many don't make it past the second year. Some get into problems with grades and end up coming back home to do nothing. But on the other hand some high school coaches do keep track of their athletes and encourage them to finish college and to continue competing.

If Perry son represented Bah mar on the real estate part of the deal he was entitled to 2% of the real estate deal (before Bah Mar was built). And since they say that part of the deal was valued at $1 billion you all should be slapping Perry son side he head for only taking $5 million when he was clearly entitled to $20 million. Go get the rest of your money Perry son. Don't mind your pa being the prim minister. He doesn't pay all your bills.
