Isn’t this a Barbados festival and wasn’t this guy a guest chef at the Barbados Festival for many years. What gives. St, Lucia copies whatever Barbados does they didn’t even bother to at least alter the name.
Last I checked, this festival isn’t a patent. St Lucia has had this going on over a decade and under the exact name. If you cared to read, the article says it’s returning. Furthermore, nobody’s copying anyone. I’m sure there were no complaints when they assisted Barbados with their own Jazz Festival.
And if you are offended by the word of God, to God be the glory. He is truth and His word will last for ever! Food and Rum! Food and rum! The pleasures of this world! Isn’t this what the people were doing in the days of Noah when the flood came? We have eyes but not to see, ears, but not to hear, a mind but we don’t understand.
What does it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul?
Look around us, its all about our business, house, car, party, selfishness, violence……. For everything in the world–the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life–comes not from the Father but from the world (1 John 2:16) Do we realize that time is coming to a close?
Listen to our leaders, the television… it’s one language! Globalization!
People, Satan does not care whether you worship him or not; as long as you are distracted from God!Think about it! As long as you are not with God satan has you anyway so why bother!
People! take heed.
Praise the…
I am doing what i am supposed to do in this regard. If you reject God’s will for your life you are doing it by choice, but still you are alive and there is room at the cross for you.
