Much respect for Bajans and VIslanders.

Garbage talking people, pray for the territory, that people will seek God, and runaway from Satan and his deceptions. The first human born killed his brother. We flow from that same connection and murder lies in every one that speaks evil of another. The Bible says that if we committed one breach of the law we’re guilty of all. Our problem is our evil heart, turn to Christ and love. Let Christ alone be your example. Parents raise your children in the fear of God. Post the word of God throughout your home, pray with them daily and love God before and behind them.
