If I were to ask you this: Would you like to taste this C8-H10-N4-02.+H2O+C12.H22.O11+H2FCI ? You would definitely be very skeptical about it, unless I tell you that these are chemical formulas. Even after me telling you that, you would still be wondering “formulas for what?” But, if I was to offer you a cup of coffee with sugar and milk, it would make the difference in the world for you wouldn’t it?

When it comes to the gospel of Jesus, we might be doing the same thing to people… Continue

There’s something that I would like to share with you; the more I meet people, the more I notice this problem in them (stress). One definition of Stress is: physical, mental, or emotional tension.

We all have experienced the symptoms of stress. Sometimes we choose to ignore them, and sometimes we do something about them. Here’s something that most of us have not even given a thought to. You might know it or you might not, but for those of you that don’t… pay attention to this; Stress can… Continue

Have you ever thought about why there is so much fear in life?

If you have, you’re not alone. This is a very relevant question in every society, because every one of us has felt fear at some point in our lives. The question is, why? I believe that it starts when we are little kids. I had the opportunity to see one of my nephews grow up. I remember paying close attention to what he feared the most. Surprisingly, the kid was not afraid of anything, until the parents and siblings started to… Continue

When was the last time you had a real good laugh? Was it because some one told you a good joke? Was it because of a comedy movie, or was it a comedian you saw on television? Was it something your three year old kid did?

It has been proven by doctors and psychologists that a good dose of laughter a day helps you stay healthy. Somehow laughter helps you release some of the tension of a stressful day, and it also keeps you in a positive attitude.

It’s 2:17am, and I’m laughing at the fact… Continue

Remember when you were 14 years old and wished you were 16, so that you could get your permit to drive! How about when you were 18 and couldn’t wait till you turned 21. Then all of a sudden, the years started going so fast that you wished that you could slow them down.

It’s so amazing how this affects a lot of people. The young want to get old, and the old want to be young again. This might sound crazy to you but it is true! Try telling a young kid that he/she looks young, you’ll offend… Continue

Throughout history we read of many men and women of God who trusted the Lord in the midst of trials, persecutions, jails, lions, bad people, etc. While reading the Word of God you can’t miss a very important statement that comes out of the very mouth of God "I Will be with you". It is a life changing experience when you believe Him at His Word. Let me take you to couple of scripture so you can understand it better.

Take a look at what God told Gideon (Judges 6:16) GOD said to… Continue

Have you ever noticed how someone’s behavior might change in a matter of seconds? Have you ever asked yourself why?

Let me start by telling you this important fact; it is not in seconds that a person changes moods. It might seem like it, but it’s not.

Every person is different; I’m talking about different attitudes, characters, emotions, feelings, believes, motives, etc. It’s very difficult to judge a person, much less try to analyze his/her behavior.

Here are some other reasons… Continue

While meditating on God’s Word, a couple of passages kept coming to mind. I read both passages in different translations and it ministered to my life in such an awesome way. Let me share them with you all. John 15:16-17 says, ”You didn’t choose me, remember; I chose you, and put you in the world to bear fruit, fruit that won’t spoil. As fruit bearer, whatever you ask the Father in relation to me, He gives you. But remember the root command: Love one another.”

Isaiah 43:1 …” But now,… Continue

When I found out the real meaning of Grace, I literally got really excited. It gave me a sense of comfort that I never felt before. I felt as if wasn’t guilty about anything anymore. It gave me a new desire to really worship God with all my heart. Man, Grace is amazing! Where would we be if it wasn’t for God’s grace?

The other side of the coin is that if we are not careful, we might become passive Christians; totally contrary to what our heavenly Father expects of us. Let me share couple… Continue

While sleeping on a hot midsummer night in 2007, I had a learning experience… it, huh! … Well! Let me find the right words... It was about 11:15pm I had just gotten to bed, the lights were off, when suddenly!!! I heard a mosquito buzzing over my ear. I didn’t think of anything, until it kept happening more and more. Then I thought “This guy is going to have a picnic tonight if I don’t stop him”. So, I turned the light on and started to look for the mosquito. I had made up my mind that I wasn’t… Continue

It’s Monday night, the game is on, the score is 24-14 and only 1:40 minutes left in the game. Your team is loosing, you think it’s a waste of time to keep watching the game, so, you go on and switch channels thinking the game is almost over and your team is about to loose. Five minutes later you decide to check the final score… to your surprise; your team made a miraculous comeback and won 28-24. Every athlete knows that the game is not over until the referee blows the whistle. Regardless of… Continue

If you were to turn on your television and watch the news, you would probably be very discouraged and disappointed. Sadly, most of the news is not news; it is mostly bad news. Just to name a few: wars, natural disasters, riots, and financial collapses.

The problem with this is that we tend to pay too much attention to bad news, and whether we admit it or not, it affects us and every decision that we make in life.

But here is the good news; you don’t have to live your life according to… Continue
