Dear citizens of StMaarten our national security of our little country is in great danger. In the last 48 hours we have recorded 3 murders as we can see evil is on the rampage in StMaarten.. It is crystal clear that love for another and values respect for human life is of little significance for our fellow man. I stress and expound greatly we must go back to our traditional values to make StMaarten a nation of love and respect under God.. Here is where our leaders should lead with example by making sure their personal life is seen as a good manner of living. It is imperative we see our leaders together more often out with their husbands or wives and with their children. Let me go in-depth to explain what values are. Values are those things that really matter to each of us ... the ideas and beliefs we hold as special. Caring for others, for example, is a value; so is the freedom to express our opinions. Most of us learned our values - or morals, if you prefer - at home, at church or synagogue, at school. But, where are our children learning their values? Maybe from parents, teachers and religious leaders, but society has changed. Too often young people today are most influenced by what they see and hear on television or on the street. God has said that sin is sin. The Bible does not glamorize or rationalize sin. Sin is presented as terrible. Sin alienates man from his God, is deceiving, and enslaving (Isa. 59: 1, 2; Heb. 11: 25; Jn. 8: 32). The end result of sin is spiritual death and ruination (Rom. 6: 23). Notwithstanding what God has said about sin, man often apologizes for sin. "Sin is just a result of man's fallen nature, transmitted to him by Adam," Sin, God says, is lawlessness or acting without the authority of God's word. Sin is degrading and will keep those sinning from heaven. "Mortal" and "venial" are terms that man applies to sin, in an effort to maximize and minimize sins. God says it does matter what one believes religiously. The truth makes free, sanctifies, and purifies, according to God. Man must "worship in spirit and in truth" in order for his worship to be acceptable to God. Original StMaarten people values was always church is a must, respect is a must and human life was the most precious resource on this earth. It was ok to curse but never to hit and definitely you should never kill. That was our StMaarten value. I must admit this but our churches has failed us; they do not have the backbone to call sin bad or evil bad. They too are getting involved in political correctness. Casinos have become a way of life to make a living. Steeling and acting as gangster has become a way of life for many of our young boys.. Young girls prefer to sell the body to make quick money. These people are our children, we must blame ourselves. That is why we must go back to our original StMaarten culture and life style; you see why identity and recognition of our original StMaarten people is a must. Our traditional life style is a success. We all will be hold accountable for not getting involved in the development of StMaarten. And if we turn the blind eye to the events that are affecting others and do not show concern, when we get struck then to late shall be our cry. What is sin, sin is the breaking of God law, some examples are murder, abortion, homosexuality, pornography, steeling etc. If you believe doing these things is not sin you are already spiritually dead destine to hell. So you now understand when God is not our master evil becomes our master.
