Basil Johnson* said he has been doing his best, despite life’s circumstances, to have a merry heart. He does this by training himself to focus on the positive.
With all the bad news con stantly being spread through the media in today, and with so many people dealing with mounting challenges in their lives, this scripture resonates more than ever. Some Chris tians have declared that they are determined to follow the Bible’s urging and strive for a merry heart.Geron Smith told Tribune Religion when he first read Proverbs 17:22 he was amazed that the Bible gave such practi cal advice on how to live day by day.“Every word of it is true.
How to have a merry heart
17:22 states: “A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.”

“In order to apply this scrip ture practically to their lives people must understand and know what things make their hearts feel merry and go and do it. Faith without works is dead.”
merry heart, especially when I am feeling down, is to certainly expose myself to the Word of God and mediate on the Word. When I do this, I exchange my thoughts and perspective on what I have been going through for God’s thoughts and God’s perspective. And doing this almost instantly puts me in a betterMichealamood.”Munroe said this proverb is one of her favourites as it is one of many that gives believers a key to feeling good and having a good attitude.

Bible offers pieces wisdom on many practical areas of life concerning spiritual growth, exhibiting godly character, loving others and relationships. One thing it also encourages is for people to prioritise having joy in their life, laughter and a merryProverbsheart.
Rev Dr Strachan demit ted office in May this year after nearly two decades of service.Atpresent, the congre gation is in the process of seeking his successor. The Tribune apologises for the mistake.
“Focusing on the good in every situation can become natural to you, but it takes a dili gent effort to train yourself to focus on the things that are good instead of the bad,” he said. “In every circumstance you can look at the good or at the bad. It’s a matter of training yourself what to look for. What you look for is what you will find.”
But praise is not all she engages“Havingin. a merry heart is also determined by the things that I do outside of my daily devo tions.

“I do not take it lightly when the Bible says a merry heart does good like medicine. You ever took note of how you feel on the inside when you enjoyed a really good laugh or someone told you a really good joke? It’s almost like your insides come alive. It’s truly refreshing and puts you in a good mood,” she said.Micheala’s first step to achiev ing a merry heart when she’s not in the best spirit is to turn to spiritual music.

Suggesting he felt Russia was the victim of a smear campaign, he denounced the spread of mis information and the “distortion of historical facts” and “manipu lation of mass consciousness” to spread messages of “hatred towards entire peoples, cultures andInreligions.”addition to the Russian Orthodox delegation, the reli gious leaders included Sheikh Ahmed al-Tayeb, the grand imam of Al-Azhar, the seat of Sunni learning in Cairo, who warmly greeted Francis with a kiss on the cheek when the pope arrived in a wheelchair.
In the conference audience of imams, patriarchs, rabbis and muftis was Metropolitan Anthony, in charge of foreign relations for the Russian Ortho dox Church, which has firmly backed Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. His boss, Patriarch Kirill, was supposed to have

The Russian patriarch has blasted the West’s secular men tality and claimed the seeds of the Ukraine conflict were sown by foreign threats to Russia’s borders. He has depicted the conflict as a struggle against a foreign liberal establishment pur portedly demanding countries hold “gay parades” as the price of admission to a world of excess consumption and freedom.
POPE Francis told the Rus sian Orthodox hierarchy and other faith leaders Wednesday that religion must never be used to justify the “evil” of war, and asked at an outdoor Mass in Kazakhstan, “How many deaths will it take?” for peace to prevail in Ukraine.An increasingly frail Francis made the appeal during his first full day in the former Soviet republic of Kazakhstan, where he opened a global inter faith conference and ministered to the tiny Catholic community in the majority Muslim country.
HOW MANY MUST DIE? POPE BLASTS RUSSIA WAR, APPEALS FOR PEACE
Kirill sent a message to the congress read aloud by Anthony. In it, the Russian patriarch didn’t refer to the war but in general to problems over the past two decades caused by “attempts to build a world without relying on moral values.”
“These attempts have led not only to the loss of the concept of justice in international relations, but also to brutal confrontation, military conflicts, the spread of terrorism and extremism in dif ferent parts of the world,” Kirill said in his message.
Al-Tayeb used his speech to the conference to complain that traditional religions had been replaced by a culture of lust and gay marriage. “This is not accept able, not even for animals and beasts, let alone for people with pure hearts and sound minds,” he said.
“May we never justify vio lence. May we never allow the sacred to be exploited by the profane. The sacred must never be a prop for power, nor power a prop for the sacred!”

He made the appeal more explicit in an afternoon out door Mass for Kazakhstan’s tiny Catholic community, in which he asked for prayers for “beloved Ukraine.”“Howmany deaths will it still take before conflict yields to dialogue for the good of people, nations and all humanity?” he asked. “The one solution is peace and the only way to arrive at peace is through dialogue.”
participated in the congress but canceled last month.Kirill has supported Russia’s invasion on spiritual and ideological grounds, calling it a “metaphysical” battle with the West. He has blessed Russian soldiers going into war and invoked the idea that Rus sians and Ukrainians are one people.Francis didn’t mention Russia or Ukraine in his remarks to the Kazakh conference. But he insisted that faith leaders them selves must take the lead in promoting a culture of peace, since it would be hypocritical to expect that non-believers would promote peace if religious lead ers“Ifdon’t.the creator, to whom we have devoted our lives, is the author of human life, how can we who call ourselves believers consent to the destruction of that life?” he asked. “Mindful of the wrongs and errors of the past, let us unite our efforts to ensure that

off in the seat. First thing that came to my mind was that she had fallen asleep. I was thinking, ‘how could she fall asleep with the baby in her arms’.”Acloser look made him realise that the baby was wedged in between the car seat and the floor, having tumbled on her head. His wife, he discovered, was foaming at the mouth, her fists tightly clenched and a tear rolling down her face.“I wondered if the tear was from the pain she was feeling because her fists were clenched so tightly or if it was from concern that she was helpless and thinking Shekinah was on the floor and I was in the food store,” he told Tribune Weekend.“Iquickly grabbed Shekinah and reassured my wife that the baby was OK. At this time Donique’s body was twitching. She was not responding; her eyeballs were rolling and her tongue was out of her mouth. I told the security

Once they found a suitable walker, the family decided to go to the SuperValue food store in Golden Gates. He quickly dashed in to grab some fruit for his wife, whom he left in the car with their daughter. Upon returning to the car, he experienced a great shock.

In January of this year, a voice note of Pastor Wallace sharing the story of his wife’s passing and encouraging others in their time of pain went viral on Bahamian social media. Those who heard it said they were blown away by his strength and courage to speak so bravely and openly about the matter.
Donique had experi enced two miscarriages prior to successfully giving birth to the couple’s daugh ter, but otherwise had no known health issues. Doc tors determined that she died from a seizure which was caused by an enlarged heart, which had previ ously been undetected.
end of the day, after you have gone through all that you have gone, through God is still the God of res toration,” he said.
“The last two chap ters of the book deal with coping with tragedy. The very last chapter is about restoration. After all you had to go through, God will restore you. He will lift you high above the clouds. You have all you need to live this life in a victori ous way. Everything you need to fulfil your purpose is already inside of you in this life. You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only option you have. And that is what I want the reader to takeaway from the book.”
At the tender age of 8, he felt the call of God on his life and began to play the drums at his local church. As time passed, Pastor Wallace decided to pursue a career in ministry. He received formal training under the tute lage of his father, whom he succeeded. He ordained a minister of the gospel on March 30, 2018, and became the senior pastor of Church of the Lord Jesus Temple, headed by Bishop Dr David L Braynen, on March 28, 2021.Pastor Wallace, who is also a musician and teacher, lives by Isaiah 54:17: “No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgement thou shalt condemn.”
Pastor Wallace’s story has not only gained trac tion locally but also abroad.“People have been reaching out to me from Africa, Turks and Caicos, Barbados, Jamaica and the US. I just want people to know that there is pur pose in the pain that they are going through and that God is faithful. He will bring them through,” he said.Born on September 20, 1984 to the late Bishop Simeon Wallace and Sylvia Wallace, he was the fourth of five children.
THE COUPLE's daughter Shekinah was just four months old when her mother died of a sudden seizure.
Pastor Wallace shares this sad story in further detail in his new book, which he said he wrote to help people overcome life’s pains, disappoint ments, depression, losses and“Godbetrayals.gaveme this book in 2018. I kept starting and stopping. But after the passing of my dear wife I decided that I am going to finish the book. My dad also passed away before my wife. We were very close as he was grooming me for ministry. He was the bishop and I was assisting him for a while. He passed on June 8 while I was hos pitalised in 2020. And in 2021, while I was dealing with all of that, then my wife, who was also my best friend, passed away.”
