The joy of judgment
Have you heard, "For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ," (2 Cor. 5:10), and, "And it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment" (Heb. 9:27)? Admittedly, judgment tends to evoke a sense of fear and consternation with many - and for obvious reasons. The very name judgment conjures up trial, investigation, sentence and of course the attending questions, "How w...

Reverend Dr. Robert Colebrook Celebrates 25 yrs in Ministry
He's a man who never considered himself to be "in perfect standing" with the Lord. Still, for a quarter of a century, Reverend Dr Robert Lerond Colebrook has trained ministers of the gospel and church musicians in his bid to win souls for Christ...

She is not your helper
As we celebrate National Women's Week in our country, I pause to remind us that God did not create women to "help men out" but to be their equal partners and companions everywhere on earth. God's original design was not for men to be in a leadership position while women just came along to help them as assistant leaders. I know this has been the notion for thousands of years, but it is a misinter...
Redemption through Christ

Redemption through Christ
For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by h...

The rise of 'moral' anarchy
Dear Editor,
Judges 21:25 : "... And the children of Israel did what was right in their own eyes."
One of the most dangerous philosophies, be it Christian, political, cultural or moral, is the presupposition that every man needs to live according to his theology or practice what you preach. It is an inescapable fact that we are all, each individual being, in the least or most significant way, a ...

Why Bahamians are fascinated with 'The Preachers of L.A.'
Dear Editor,
The great United States of America continues to have an immense influence on Bahamians. This has been the case since the turn of the 20th century, and even more so since World Wars I and II.
Most of what we consume is imported from America. We have even imported America's pop culture. For instance, America's obsession with reality TV shows such as "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" ha...

That was not the Lord talking to you
More and more, I am coming across people who claim to be doing things because God told them to do it. Several years ago, I wrote this about the subject: The phrase, "The Lord told me to tell you", is perhaps one of the most overused, misused and abused phrases in the Christian world. Other phrases such as "God gave me a vision for you ..." "I have a prophecy about you ..." or "I have a message fr...

God's word trumps all human rules
But now a righteousness from God, apart from law, has been made known, to which the law and the prophets testify. This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. God presented him as a sacrifice o...

Possible candidates for president of COB
Chairman of the COB Council Alfred Sears should generally be applauded for insisting that the next president of the college should be a Bahamian.
Still, this columnist believes that the search should be open to other Caribbean nationals. By example, what if we are able to find a Caribbean national of the caliber of Sir Hilary Beckles, professor of history and pro-vice-chancellor and principal at ...
