My Spiritual Upbringing

God knew of me since i was born, He was always there for me.
I got to know about Him at the age of 10/11 years old. I really loved the church that i was going to.
"North County Baptist Church, did you hear that AMEN!!!" Everyone in the bus would scream that, and whoever was the loudest would get a dollar.

During service, the second hour; whoever sat still, would get a dollar and most of the time, i would get that dollar. I remember one day that i saw from the corner of my eye, people coming out from a small building, back then,  I didn't knew who they were but now, I'm a member of that group of people that now are 300 hundred or so every Sunday.

Who would've thought that i would end up as a member of baptist church!! Only God knew about that.
Anyways, that point in life in my childhood i cherish it in my heart. I had a whole lot of fun going to Pastor's Millers church when i was just a boy.


Now, when I was 16 going to 17, i got saved, it was summer of '05, the only person that i remember was Bro. Alfonso Martinez testifying me on Hickory street, right after i said yes and prayed; i tagged along with him. I followed him wherever he went. That is why  I'm fond him, he has a special spot in my heart.
It was February "Dia del Amigo" when my aunt invited me to this church.

There are two people that i want to give thanks, Bro. Charlie and Pastor Arturo, i love them both to death. Bro. Charlie for teaching me about baptism, about being member of this great church of mine and Pastor Arturo for baptizing me; it was a cold baptism, the water COLD, but it was worth it.


Bro. Alfonso, Bro. Charlie and Pastor Arturo, three great people that God allowed me to meet.
Thy work is not in vain.

Being a Conservative Christian. (Part 1)

The "C" is for "Conscience." Are you always conscience about God when you live about your life? Do you confide in God about your decisions and pray to Him about it? Do you take time to listen to that little voice that keeps you from sinning against God? The "O" for for "Opportunity" Always look for the opportunity to do the right thing, not so people can you see; doing the right thing means that people get to see God in you. Don't call attention to yourself, call attention to God; to what He can do when we are willing to be used. The "N" is for "Neutral" No Christian should be neutral, your either with or against God. We can't root for everything that we think is good. We shouldn't be dragged to the ideology of humanism. Being neutral and a Christian is a oxymoron. The "S" is for "Self" Our "self" should've when we believed in God, when we accepted his gift of eternal lif...

A must....

What have I done? What have you done? Are we really serving our Lord with all our heart and soul? Are we really in love with our Lord? Has our priority changed? Has our values changed? have our focus in life changed? And if so, who made us changed it? Why can't we just accept God's will and stop making excuses, who are trying to hide from? To whom do our hearts belong to to? I must stop making excuses and start living the life that God wants me to live. We must stop making excuses and start living for God and not for ourselves.

Jesus Last Passover. from Bible Analyser

 By the time of Jesus, the Passover had developed into a set form with a number of added rituals. Although people killed the lamb at the temple, they ate the meal privately with friends and relatives (Luk 22:8-13). Among the additions to the meal was a cup of wine, for which the head of the household offered a prayer of thanks (or blessing; 1Co 10:16), and which he passed around among the participants, both before and after the eating of unleavened bread (Mar 14:22-24; Luk 22:15-20). Singing also became part of the celebration, the participants singing a collection of psalms known as the Hallel (Psa 113-118). They usually sang the first two psalms before eating the lamb, the other psalms after (Mar 14:26). It appears that on the occasion of Jesus' last Passover, he and his disciples ate the meal a day earlier than the official time, and probably without a lamb (Luk 22:15; Joh 13:1). If this was so, the reason was probably that Jesus knew that he himself was now the Passover lamb. O...
