"BUT IN VAIN DO THEY WORSHIP ME, TEACHING AS DOCTRINES THE PRECEPTS OF MEN.'" Matthew 15:9
There are many people worshiping today based on the doctrines of men. Caught in the shadow of the dark one, they profess to be of God, while teach falsehood, leading the lost to hell. Colossians 2:22 warns us about this, "These are all destined to perish with use, because they are based on human commands and teachings." Mankind cannot take the place of God in anything.
Man is called to worship God at all times. God has been so good to us that we must worship him. We should worship him in the good times and in the bad times. No where are we called to worship man or his doctrines. We cannot serve two masters, either we worship God or no one else.
Some people who profess to be Christians pretend to worship God but by their works they are defined. They are only sayers but not doers. I was once at that place saying nice things, but my worship to God was a shamble. In the end, we cannot hide from Almighty God. If we decide not to worship God the way he has commanded us to, then how can we expect to go to heaven. We need to recognize that our worship here on earth is preparing us for our worship in heaven.
When we worship God, our minds should be clear, focusing only on God. Often times when we go to God, our minds are racing with the troubles of the world, so we are not in sync with God. God expects us to lay everything at his feet in worship, and to trust him to work all things out. If we think that we can solve our problems by ourselves, we are very wrong. True worship with God will bring us closer to his true will for us.
I am learning daily that I need to spend more time in worship to God. I need to blot out the words of man, and do God's will. It's never easy, but that is what God requires of us. Man's teachings and doctrines will only lead us in one direction, away from God. We have two roads to choose when it comes on to God, which one will we take? The question is there for all of us...
Jamaica College left it to the last race to secure the 2011 Boys Championship. JC won by 11 points over Kingston College. Going into the 4X400 relays, JC just needed to beat KC to win. In a nerve-racking race, JC and KC were head to head. On the second leg, the JC and KC athlete's collided bringing more drama to the race. However both athletes picked themselves up and continued in their earnest battle. On the final leg, JC held on against a strong surge by KC to win the Mortimer trophy.
JC was able to win the Boys Champs, without their influential 200 and 400 meters specialist, Rohan Walker, who was disqualified due to poor academics.
It has been a remarkable 2010 and 2011 for JC. In 2010 they captured the triple in schoolboy football. All credit must go to the entire school body and the old boys association for their hard work. Under the leadersip of Principal Reid, JC has been transformed and the best is still to come.
Congrats JC..Fervet Opis In Campis...work is burning in the fields...
At the time of this writing Kingston College was leading Jamaica College in 2011 Boys Championship. With the 200 meters and relays to go it will be a fight to the end.
I was shocked to be able to watch Boy Champs this year on Sportsmax. I am really thankful to them for taking this bold step to showcase one of the greatest shows in high school athletics anywhere in the world.
Whoever wins it is going to be one of the greatest finishes in Boys Champs history....

The Tokyo Electric Power Co. is still a major concern. Attempts to plug a leak in their cracked concrete shaft is resulting in more radioactive material seeping into the ocean off Japan. This poses serious threat for sea life and human life.
The US is sending the world's largest concrete pump to help in bridging the leak. We all need to monitor this seriously.
Let's pray for the people of Japan in this trying time.
My life has gone through many journeys, from sickness and sadness, to happiness and gladness, but through it all God has been the tower I look to when all is said and done...
