Get it right

Good morning Scripture reading: St. Matthew 5:17-48 Worship song: Make It Right \\ Meditation:      Have you heard the saying that "things and time change, and what applied and worked for past generations does not work for today's generation"? Even if there is any truth to that, the Word of God remains unchanged; it never changes, and His law remains the same. The Constitution of Jamaica or any other country can be amended or appealed, but the Bible cannot be altered or revoked; its truth is permanent and eternal. As verse 18 states: "Till heaven and earth pass, not one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. This clearly shows that God's law is unwavering and all generations are called to uphold it; they are expected to abide by and adhere to the word of God.       The Bible also teaches that to enter heaven, our righteousness should surpass that of the Scribes and Pharisees. These religious leaders appeared ...

Bound by Shackles

By

Good morning Scripture reading: Mark 5:1-20 Praise song: Shackles Are Broken   Meditation;      Several years ago, the Court Administration Division (CAD) summoned me to serve as a juror. Nothing has touched me more deeply than seeing prisoners entering the courtroom chained together with shackles on their hands and feet. In that moment, I realized that serving in such a role was not something I was mentally prepared to do, so I kindly petitioned to be excused.       Observing the state of confinement prompted me to ponder the shackles that have restricted us spiritually. I reflected on the factors we permitted to dominate our minds and hinder us from experiencing the freedom and blessings of Almighty God. Emotional pain, stress, poor choices, or guilt can leave us feeling trapped and isolated.       When these heavy chains hinder us from living fully or connecting with others, remember that faith in Jesus has the power...
