He taught the right thing to do from the Bible and he taught us what to do in life,

[Speaking of inspiration, the Bible has long been a source of rich stories that emphasize the importance of faith. The Prodigal Son has been one of the most trusted parables in the Good Book, used extensively in Westerns and war, but not from the perspective of a church background, with a plot tweak that pits former best friends against each other in so dramatic a way. Packer recognized this early as the storyline unfolded:] It's about really having the inner fortitude to overcome anything that's in front of you, and doing that with the help of God. It's a faith-based, inspiration-themed film, one we've wanted to do for some time. ... You see the character Boris plays of David, who's raised in the church, goes away, gets into a life of fame, money, women, wealth, drugs and sex. As he journeys back, it's the redemption that he finds, it's the hope that he finds, it's the salvation that he finds.

This is a golden opportunity for us to show our Baptist distinctives of believing the Bible and lifting up the Lord Jesus in ministry and reaching people for Jesus Christ.

The Bible tells us: Blessed are the peacemakers. I invite you all to be peacemakers for Fiji, throughout the elections and beyond.

The Bible warns us clearly that we must not attack men of God no matter how sinful they may have become or wicked in our eyes.

While I respect everything they did for us, I truly believe what the Bible says comes first. What we're trying to do is protect society.
