Day by day, I'm discovering the cure to sin, to temptation, to every pitfall, downfall, every stronghold. The cure, Jesus.

I'm realizing that that the more I read the Bible, the more I'm reading and hearing the actual voice of God. And the more I hear the word of God, the less I want to hear about the world.

I'm realizing that the more I get into the presence of God, as I worship God, the more I want to Know God and less I want to know what going on with him or her.

I'm finally realizing that the more I listen to the Holy Spirit, God's Spirit, the more I am listening to God and less I'm listening to me.. to what I want.

And everyday, I make blunders. some small.  many large. Most stupid.  Sin that comes in all different kinds of shapes and sizes.  Honestly I'm not even close to who God called me to be. That is a blimp, a point, off in a far distant place from where I stand. But this is what I'm thinking, everyday, if I can step a little closer to that direction, everyday if I can walk a little closer towards God, I think I'll be a little closer to what Christ created me to be...


And that'll make everyday that I'm that much more closer to stepping into eternity...

    LOVED the last 2 paragraphs you said there... really ministered to me esp since I make a gagillion stupid mistakes every day. ;D So good to know that God is bigger than all of it, that He has an amazing plan, and He gives us the honor to be apart of the great things He's doing & going to do.
    You're a blessings, amiga!

An Open Letter -- Part 1

"Forever O Lord Your Word is settled in heaven" - Ps 119:105 "The grass withers, the flower fades But the word of our God stands forever" - Is 40:8 A few summers ago, we went to Paris and in our exploration of the city, we walked into the Pantheon in Paris. Beautiful architecture, white walls, high gothic arched ceilings with a heavy, murky vibe. The Pantheon is essentially a cemetery for notable French figures, leaders and philosophers. One of the first burial monuments we came upon was Voltaire, 18th century French philosopher and writer. Also a strong critic of Christianity and the Scriptures. He famously said that within 100 years of his death, the Bible would become obsolete,  'a museum piece'. Ironically, a century after his death, Voltaire's house and printing press were used to print Bibles by the Evangelical Society of Geneva.  The famous man that once uttered those words has himself became a museum piece. "The grass withers, the flower fad...

Lessons on Discipleship from an Unlikely Source

-
Can we ‘walk with Jesus’ and still go to hell? Yes!  That's harsh so let me explain: Judas Iscariot was a disciple of Jesus Christ. As a disciple, this man walked miles alongside Jesus, each and every day. He spent hours with Jesus, every day for three years.  He sat at the table and ate meals with Jesus.  He listened to Bible teachings, directly from the mouth of Jesus Christ.  Judas is a testament to the fact that we can ‘walk with Jesus’ and still be unsaved.  We can be ‘Christian’ by label, partake of Christian activities, hold impressive positions and titles (Judas was the treasurer of Jesus’s earthly ministry), hear solid Bible teaching and still be unchanged on the inside and be heading towards an eternity in hell, separated from God.  The tragic life of Judas has insights to offer us in correct discipleship with Jesus Christ. Here are three lessons we can put into practice in our walk with Christ: ·       ...

Lessons from the Empty Tomb

-
“ As evening approached, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who had himself become a disciple of Jesus.  Going to Pilate, he asked for Jesus’ body, and Pilate ordered that it be given to him.  Joseph took the body, wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, and placed it in his own new tomb that he had cut out of the rock. He rolled a big stone in front of the entrance to the tomb and went away.  Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were sitting there opposite the tomb. ” Matthew 27: 57-61 Some two thousand years ago, on a Friday evening that felt as ordinary as today, a man by the name of Joseph took Jesus off the cross where He hung. In the dusk, as night fell around him, he cleaned a limp, bruised body. I imagine there were tears running down his face as he washed the bloodied remains of Jesus’s short life. The sting of disappointment, the catch of hurt at the back of his throat. He had placed his reputation, his wealth, his respect on the line; ...
