For several years there's been a proliferation
of apocalyptic novels, films, and other end-time stories. However,
Christians should always ask, "How does the literature square with the
Bible?" This week the Adventist Review presents a series articles on
prophecy and end-time events.

| Landrail
Point is a small village located on the north end of
the beautiful island of Crooked Island. All the
residents in the village, except two families, are
Adventists.
Crooked Island is located 275 miles
southeast of New Providence with a population of 500.
It is over one hour and fifteen minutes by plane.
Only one Adventist Church is on the island. The
nearest Adventist church is located on the island of Acklins, more than fifty miles south of Landrail Point.
Lowe Sound is just
twenty minutes by plane east of New Providence. It is a
little town on the Northern tip of the largest island in
The Bahamas,
Andros
(104 miles long and 2300 square
miles). There are five Adventist
Churches on the island of Andros. Four of them are located
in South Andros more than 80 miles
south of Lowe Sound.
Blackwood Village is
a small tourist town located near Bluff Eleuthera.
Eleuthera
is a long (90 miles long), beautiful island located east of
Nassau. There are four Adventist Churches on the
Island of Eleuthera.
Steven's is a little town on the long, narrow
island of Long Island. It is located near the
center of the island. This is an agriculture and
fishing island. It is interesting to note the the
Tropic of Cancer passing right through the Long Island.
Long Island is not only long (60 miles), it is also
narrow--no more than 4 miles at its widest point. It is
indeed a land of eloquent contrasts in geography,
architecture and enterprise. There are two
Adventist Church on Long Island.
Matthew Town is a
small town on the island of
Inagua. There is a small Adventist company on
the island. Pastor Adderley is the non-resident
pastor. Inagua is over t325 miles south of Nassau
and has a population of about 1200. It is the home
of Morton Salt Company where more than one million tons
of solar salt is produced each year. It is also
the home of the second largest flock of flamingos in the
world. Inagua is also known for its wild donkeys
and lovely parrots. |

- Let the Crime Roll On
- By Barrington Brennen
|
|
 “Let the
Crime Roll On!” Is this what we really want? Before you make a
judgment on the intent of this article, I encourage you to read on.
As Christians we cannot stand by and be found guilty of passive
violence (turning our heads from what is happening around us). I
hope this article will remove the numbness and the notable state of
amnesia. Read on.
“There is too
much crime.” “Things are bad.” “It’s terrible around here.” “We
must do something about the crime.” These sentiments can be heard
on the streets, talk shows, church halls, board rooms, living rooms,
etc. But that’s all they are, sentiments, and empty words that
lead down the road of do nothingness. It seems as though we have
national
amnesia.
Crime was also at a painful level five and ten years ago.
If there is
one thing the church should not be guilty of, it is amnesia. We
must remember the past so we will not repeat it. I am challenging
all of us, all Adventists and Christians everywhere to stand up,
speak up, and make a difference. That’s our God given
responsibility. We are to be the “salt and light
to the world.”
We so easily
forget the pain of the past. Perhaps we have forgotten when a
popular political activist was murdered in our country, and from
everywhere people were pledging to do something about the crime
level. The murder shocked the nation. Some of you might remember
that I predicted in one of my articles at that time that in six
months it would be as though that bad, painful incident never
occurred, and we would forget about it. My prediction came to
pass. We never learn. We are passive, stubborn, and somewhat
docile as a nation. Amnesia is ridiculously our greatest strength,
and it’s making things worse.
Yes, we are
all perturbed about the crime level in our country. But are we
going to allow ourselves to continue in this state of deep stupor
and grave amnesia. We do have many questions for which we want
answers. I don’t think we really want to listen to the answers.
Some of the questions are: Why is the crime escalating? Why does
there seem to be no solution to this national scourge? Why does it
seem as though nobody cares? Is there really a solution to the
dilemma?
It is my belief that there are
solutions to the problem. I am not sure that we are truly ready as a
nation to go beyond the questioning and start the doing. Could we
reduce the murder rate from 80 each year to 10, or even zero? I
believe we can. The painful truth is that we all are in someway
contributing to the increasing crime level in our country. We ignore
the cries for help from hurting people. We turn our heads and close
our eyes when we know something is wrong. Maybe we should let the
crime "roll on," since so many are "benefiting" from it. Why stop
crime when it is putting money in our pockets and food on our
tables? The following is an absurd poem I published in 2001 in
response to the crime at that time. It was written to help us to
take a painful look at this problem of crime in our country. At the
end of the poem I present what I believe is a fundamental reason why
we do not have the power to stop the crime. Read it with an open
mind from beginning to the end. (The poem below might
make you angry, embarrassed, or unset with the writer. Just
read it)

pain, loneliness, and fear?
- Why think of the
tragedy our children bear?
- Why think of life
loss if life isn’t much?
- Why think of
dysfunctional families if family isn’t much?
-
- Could it be that we
were poisoned through generation in time
- By the greed and
lust of power hungry minds?
- What is the antidote
to the poison of passivity and greed?
- It must be a mental
metamorphosis to take the lead.
-
-
If we continue to be poised by the greed for power,
-
Our nation will die and we would not even realize it’s a goner;
-
Because a crime isn’t a crime to the unchanged mind,
-
Unless there is a re-creation of our lives and minds.
-
Then, and only then, will we find the power to stop the crime.
-
Ecclesiastes 8:11
-
"When a crime is not punished quickly,
-
people feel it is safe to do wrong."

- Good
Behavior
- By Patrice Williams-Gordon,
February 26, 2008
But now God has
shown us a different way to heaven --not by "being good enough"
and trying to keep his laws, but by a new way (though not new,
really, for the Scriptures told about it long ago). Now God says
he will accept and acquit us-declare us "not guilty"-if we trust
Jesus Christ to take away our sins. And we all can be saved in
this sam e
way, by coming to Christ, no matter who we are or what we have
been like. Rom 3:21,22 Today's Living Bible
Things were
really going great! For at least the past two weeks, I was
abiding by everything that I had taught as a health educator.
·
Eight glasses of water? Done!
·
Daily exercise? Done!
·
Lots of fruits and vegetables?
Done!
·
Adequate rest? Done!
·
Quiet time with God? Done!
·
Good time management? Done!
The list went on
and so did my feeling of pride in a job well done.Then it
started; itchy throat, runny eyes and nose, chills, aches and
pains. “Not now, Lord, when I should be experiencing perfect
health after all that I had done!” I thought, “How could I
possibly get the flu now?” After a brief period of denial, I
finally got to accepting that I was sick despite all my efforts.
It got me
thinking of so many times when we have patted ourselves on the
back on how good we have been. Like the rich young ruler, we
measure our works against the Ten Commandments and wow! don’t we
look good.
·
Stealing? None!
·
Murder? None!
·
Bearing false witness? None!
·
Neglect of the Sabbath? None!
And the list goes
on and so does our pride in our own self-righteousness. Despite
all our efforts, even our best attempts may have been prompted
by the wrong motives. How many times have you been on your best
behavior, primarily to influence others opinions of you? How
often have you abstained from a moment of immoral pleasure only
from fear of being caught? Close inspection of our boasted
integrity, reveals that our ‘righteousness is like dirty rags’
as described by Isaiah in Isaiah 64:6.Even when we cannot trace
the role of selfish motives in our goodness, our honorable deeds
are still tainted with sin. The judgment will reveal that fear
and not a pure heart, have built the good reputation of many.
If my future is
dependent on my goodness, I may as well give up now. For
the best of us, irrespective of how much good we do, we will
never be deserving of the gift of salvation, for that is what it
is, a gift. However, thanks be to God, He has made provisions
for me, despite my unworthiness .God has indeed given me much
more than I am deserving of. Every opportunity, every blessing,
every challenge, every tragedy sent my way is far more desirous
than all my work has earned. Paul states in Phil 3:9-10
…I no longer have a righteousness
of my own, the kind that is gained by obeying the Law. I now
have the righteousness that is given through faith in Christ,
the righteousness that comes from God and is based on faith.
So, yes, I have
the flu and I also have a life stained with sin, but today I can
claim God’s

forgiveness and be happy as I accept the marvelous gift of His
Salvation. Even more thrilling is the promise that at the end of
the struggle through this life you and I can shout:
I have fought the good fight, I
have finished the race, I have kept the faith. 8 Now there is in
store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord,

to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing. ( 2

This Week's Meditation
- Blessed Amnesia
- By Patrice Williams-Gordon,
February 15, 2008

 Blessed
be the Lord, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth. Our
soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare
is broken, and we are escaped. Our help is in the name of the Lord,
who made heaven and earth. Ps 124:6-8 (KJV)
“These are not our trees! Where are we?
Have we missed our road?” These words interrupted our pleasant
conversation as we made our way home from a fact-finding excursion
to plan for an upcoming Singles Ministries Retreat. The u-turn
revealed we had been on the wrong road for about 5 kilometers. We
joked for a while about the driver’s ‘senior moment’, but soon
regained the pace of our conversation. It was not long before we
again noticed that there was something strange about our road. Were
we heading in ‘another’ wrong direction? Someone insisted we were on
the right road this time because the sea was to our right. Was it?
No one seemed sure.
About 5 kilometers (3.2 Miles)
away we identified a landmark that removed all doubts of being in
the wrong direction; the sea was definitely to our left. With that
discovery we made our second u- turn, but this time in silence. Our
driver, Joan, was now close to tears. This was a road she had
traveled many times over and never had a miss. There were only three
roads at the roundabout, how could this have happened? Was she
losing it? Fear was turning into panic as she wondered aloud what
was happening to her; how could she explain to her husband that she
was losing her mind?
In the darkness of the night, I was
prompted to allay her fears by suggesting that God was trying
desperately to save us from danger. In desperation, Joan retorted,
“couldn’t He find another way than to tamper with my sanity?” To
this I responded, “If God had spoken audibly to you, you may have
jumped out of the car, leaving us in greater danger”. We all
chuckled at that thought.
Then, as if by inspiration again, I
shouted “there is our accident; here is what God has saved us from.”
To our left were the flashing blue lights of police cars and a fast
growing crowd. Our emotions were too high for a single word, as the
Spirit, simultaneously, spoke to each of us of our timely
deliverance. It soon became clear to all of us that God had struck,
not one, but four university lecturers with amnesia so as to detour
us from the snare of the devil. Rounds of hallelujah, Praise the
Lord filled the car at the realization of God’s care and tender
mercies toward four trusting women and the safe return from blessed
amnesia.
God has innumerable ways of sparing us
from danger. You may be able to account for what hindsight now
presents as timely escapes, but at that time, may have appeared to
be major inconveniences. Ask Ruth McKinney, who yielded to the
Spirit’s suggestion against her own logics. The sun was just about
setting and making another stop was not in her plans, however, she
could not shake the urge to get air for the tires and petrol for the
car. The inclination made no sense, especially when the gauges
indicated she really did not need to. After the attendant delivered
the petrol, she asked him to check the tires and put in air if
needed. While he was putting in the air in one of the tires, a loud
explosion was heard coming from the engine of her car, which
subsequently rendering it

immobile. Can you imagine her relief
to find that it happened where she could access assistance, instead
of on the lonely road ahead, just at twilight? God had delivered
yet again.
So count your blessings again, and as you
do, be sure to include the many inconveniences that were actually
blessings in disguise. Your days will find you less stressed by
irritating delays, as you look for the blessings that follow in
quick pursuit.

- Media Council In Miami
-
- [February 11, 2008] Barrington
Brennen is currently in Miami, Florida, attending a Media Council at the
headquarters of Inter-American Division of Seventh-day Adventists.
Communication Directors and technicians (web specialists) from all of
the fifteen Union fields in the Division are attending the Council.
Barrington is attending the Council as a technician with the Nigel Coke,
the Communication Director of the West Indies Union Conference. At
the Council the new software for Adventist church web sites
construction, netAdventist, is being introduced and technicians are
being trained to use it so that they will in turn train the leaders and
technicians in their territories. The goal of the Inter-American
Division is for all Adventist churches and schools to use the same
platform (netAdventist) that will be a driving engine to unite the
Adventist Church. At the West Indies Union Ministerial Retreat in August
2008, the field technicians and pastors will be introduced to the new
software. The goal of the West Indies Union is for all 650 churches in
the Union to have a vibrant website. netAdventist will make this
possible and easy to accomplish.

Boarding Fishes
- By Patrice Williams-Gordon, February 5,
2008
For six months, my family ran a boarding school
for some fish. My friends were going off on vacation for a while and asked
us to keep their pets until they returned. My husband had made for our
fishes a long narrow aquarium with more than enough space for the ‘homees’.
The kids were ecstatic with the "new kids on the block" , the boarding
fishes, which were significantly bigger than the home ones; that is all
except the Guramiah, approximately a third the size of its closet rival .
Then something strange begun to happen, all the
fishes except for the guramih would stay to two-thirds of the tank and the
Guramiah would occupy the remaining third. Upon close investigation we
noticed that some of the other fish had chunk of their fins and tails
missing and it did not take long for us to put the pieces together. The
Guramiah was antagonistic to all the others and they had learnt by now that
it was safer to keep out of its way. Three weeks later , having returned the
fishes about two week before ,I was pleasantly surprised to see the home
fishes utilizing the full length of the tank. The tyrant Guramih was removed.
It made me think about man and his dilemma.
Earth was created for us but after Satan was put out of heaven, our freedom
on Earth became restricted Do you long to explore the beauty of the woods
yet fear the lurking danger in the form of wild animals? Does the thought of
a late night stroll remain only a thought for the fear of men gone crazy
with wicked intension?

Maybe pain and illness curtails your ability to
play and frolic with the younger members of your family! Does lack of money
and long distances keep you separated you’re your loved ones?
There are so many things which God planned for
us which we cannot now enjoy in full. Soon, however the tyrant will be
removed and once again we will be able to enjoy in full the
provisions of the Earth made new….without restrictions!
