Rant II

Why is it that Christians seem afraid or unwilling to take part in politics? Aren't we the salt of the earth? There are so many things in the Bible telling us of our worth but few Christians read the Bible! That's so embarassing. What's the point of following a belief system if you don't read the manual? If more Christians were in positions of power, then that would mean that satan's power would be hampered. It's been said (I'll paraphrase) "...when good men keep silent, evil runs riot." Why should we stand idly by and let sin take over? It's in God's will but He didn't say "Roll over and play dead." did He? I thought He said, "I give you authority to cast out demons in my Name. (paraphrased)." If we have so much power as Christians, why don't we use it? It's so annoying! Anyway more later. I'm so pissed. I hate being a Christian because God keeps calling dunce people to Him and they seem to want to remain dunce and nonprogressive. I need company of Christians willing to stand up for their God and to know what they are talking about. Anyone out there?


This is me. I hate taking pictures. My skin isn't photogenic. Oh well, I don't plan to be a model anyway.


This is me and my future wife. I'm finally getting used to the idea of settling down (must be God)

Jericho

Went to Jericho Baptist tonight. They are in Linstead. It was a "choirs in praise" function for their youth week. It was very good. Spoke to soime of my kids concerning their choice of friends. Hope they take heed. Was thinking about God and His church. Why are Christians such cowards? Whenever the world attacks their way of life or legislates immorally, there is not even a whimper. They seem to just love singing and having meetings. So dumb. We need to start attacking satan's kingdom. I believe the best defense is an offense but most Christians seem to believe that staying quiet is what God wants. What God do they know? Not the one who went in the temple and overturned temples and chastised the merchants? I really wonder what God is thinking about us now. Also, I believe the church needs a radical overhaul in its management. The ones in charge, by and large, seem to have no vision and that's robbing the church of the progress they need to make in getting people. anyway, no more rants yet. see you later. I'll continue in the next post.


This is the youth cell group I am in charge of.

F.Y.I.

My name is Mel. I live in Spanish Town, Jamaica. I am 27 years old. I am on the road to engagement/marriage. I have no children. I am an only child. I used to be in telecommunications but I am trying to branch out so I am freelancing by networking computers. I drive a toyota townace which I love since it's turbocharged and accelerates like a dream. I like yellow and blue. that's it. nothing else I can think of now to tell. some other time.

I am learning a lot

I am learning a lot about this God thing. And that's the rub. I've been a Christian for 5 years or so and I am still learning. I am not used to this. Am I so dumb? Or maybe is God so big? I'll stick with the latter (makes more sense). I love God. He's taking good care of me. Concerning my most recent post, I might have come off a bit aggressive so I apologize. If u disagree with my views, feel free to engage in CONSTRUCTIVE discussion. I don't pretend to know everything about Christian beliefs but at the same time I am sticking to what I believe. hope I'll learn from you too.

In defence of God

Much has been said to malign Christianity so much so that I personally believe that it is the most attacked faith system on EARTH (no stats to back it up so don't ask). Why? maybe cause it's the real thing? I don't know what you think, but I believe in God represented as the TRINITY and I believe Jesus is God AND I believe the ONLY way to reach heaven is through JESUS Christ. these are my beliefs. If you don't share those beliefs, then feel free to ignore this blog and leave me alone. For those who do believe, then welcome as we journey together in my life as I try to live for God in this unGodly world.

I am now on the friends network!

Hey guys, i am now on the network! you can link to me at http://www.hi5.com/i?l=8PJSYVV whenever you want. I have no idea how it works yet but I like trying out new stuff (like this blog!). Later, hope you are having a Godly day.

My class

I have 14 people in my youth cell group. I am their teacher and I plan to take them to the next level. I hope I do well and I won't let God down. If you are a Christian, please pray FOR me and the group's success. I hope to live to see the day when they all achieve something spiritually. Later. I'll give more details in a next post.

I lost my baby

One of  my protegees decided to give the God thing a break. She said that she thought that what I had to offer was irrelevant to her. I am concerned about the friends she's keeping but I am powerless to stop her. I am so worried  about her. I just hope that she knows I love her no matter what. Anyway, bye for now.

A little about me

I am 27 years old. I am a member of the  Open Bible Church in Jamaica for the past 5 years. It's a real church. I feel God in it but I just can't stand the people sometimes. I'm getting there though. I'm currently a student and am planning to get my MCSE soon. God is real to me. He's come through many times. I hope He continues. Anyway, I'll continue later. I'm sleepy.

Life as a Jamaican Christian

Hi there. This is my first post ever! I am a bit unsure what to write at this point but that'll soon change. This blog will document my journey as a Christian. Hope you'll support and understand it.
