The forbidden tree and the exercise of our free will
Forbidden trees. They have existed since the beginning. Why did God place that forbidden tree there? Have you ever asked that question? Why was there a necessity for a forbidden tree in the first place?
God leaves the door open when you divorce yourself from Him
A divorce occurs where a covenant had been previously established. A divorce occurs where two had become one flesh. A divorce occurs when in the absence of each other, the husband and wife begin to receive instructions that are set out to bring about contention and division.
Solomon's wisdom needed to correct Bermuda's ills
The turning point of the Bible is wrapped up in the love of God. The pure and redeeming love of God is the axis upon which the Bible spins; it is the catalyst that initiates and indeed instigates the hand of God moving on behalf of mankind.
Realise your potential and put yourself on the front cover
Two of my favourite terms are “potential” and “perspective”. I firmly believe that based on your personal perspective on life you will either cause your potential to become manifest or you will allow your present circumstances to cause your potential to fester, and therefore never become manifest.
God has not given up on Bermuda
The world of today is very much scientifically driven as it pertains to all aspects of life. Hence, when it comes to the spiritual area, the scientific and the spiritual are involved in a head-on collision, resulting in many deaths.

'Street Jacobs' would benefit from a name change
Bermuda is on the verge of major change (at least it is hoped). Let me put it another way. The “family” of Bermuda is about to experience a change in headship.
When in pain remember how Hannah coped in agony
There is a fallacy in believing that Christians should not be sad, have sad moments, or that all should be well in their life all of the time if they are truly a child of God.
Raising Cain: Bermuda males bearing some of his traits
Cain has risen in far too many males of our society. What do I mean by that? Well, let's examine the original Cain. Genesis 4: 5 But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell...
Troubled parents turn to Jesus on your children's behalf
As you read through the Word of God, you discover that the Bible is all about over-comers. From page to page and from book to book, you are introduced to someone who faced troubles and trials in his or her life. For sure, trouble knows no distinction.
Not following Jesus is contributing to island's woes
Christians are earthly advocates. That is, they stand representing the Kingdom of Heaven. In a time when the earth is so ungodly and so unkind, there is rest in knowing that there are still those who desire to stand in the gap.

It was the right time for Jesus to challenge priesthood
Life is about times and seasons. Literally, to everything there is a season, and it becomes important for all to take advantage of the season you are in. The old-timers would say, “make hay while the sun shines” or “strike while the iron is hot”.
Salvation awaits, no matter how pitiful your situation
One thing that many Bermudians are familiar with is a pit — a cesspit. Just the thought of it may bring to memory the day the cesspit got full. Well, it is this image that I desire you keep in mind as I share how God will deliver you from …
Be careful what you offer up to God
There is a set criterion for what you offer to God. An “any old you” will not do. No, you must strive to be found acceptable to God. You must be willing to give up something in order to place God first in your life.
No fooling God when you praise Him
There are consequences to coming into the House of God and giving false worship, or not being in the right place spiritually with God. Two examples of this can be seen in the Old Testament.
Moral standards of a community cannot be legislated for
Government and law enforcement cannot mandate moral control over the people. The moral standard of a society cannot be legislated by Government or manipulated by the religious leaders. Even God will not impute His moral expectation of behaviour upon a people.
