    Is that two white people in blackface front and centered? Just say you are celebrating the culture and you can get away with it.

    11 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.

    12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.

    13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.

    14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city

        I am saying that you do whatever you want to do according to your will but know that God has a will for us all and reveling is not part of it. If we just surrender to the Holy Spirit so much more will come out of Dominica, the region and the world.
        I feel so sorry that some people don’t understand the love of God and intent of His goodness. He really doesn’t need us you know, but He created us in His likeness and image and really wants to share what He has with us.
        The Angels have free will and 1/3 left, much more for us who were created to be with God almighty.
        He doesn’t need all those things because He is God but just wants to share what He has with us through His son Jesus but He has a formula…. and nothing will work without His formula. Repent, (turn your life around), Pray, read His word, do His will..
        You Have to do nothing but surrender and He does the rest! That’s all!
        Think about it!
        May His name be praised.
