When we waist time that is of the Lord, we are being disrespectful and selfish. Everything that exist is because of Him and thru Him. We live to bring honor and glory to His Great Name. God is the supplier of our everyday needs, from Him we get our strength and vigor. God must be the number 1 person in your life, before family, work and friends. I have not read the Bible for a whole week and I am feelings the consequences, which are physical and mental. When we are right with God, He sets everything straight; everything that we do will prosper. The clue here is being right with God, to being in His Will and obeying it.

Life is going fast for me; its good to have God by your side when the horizon looks bleak. Soon I will turn 25 and I'm thinking, where did those 25 years went? They just went away without me knowing. I'm remembering my first years in High School and the first years with Gethsemane Baptist Church and I'm longing for them; to live them all over again and redo my life. I don't have regrets, but its worth remembering. The first years of anything is where one enjoys, its where  the routine doesn't exist and time slows. I remember the first time i met people who really caught my attention and especially those people that I made friends with. I remember my first real friend, I remember my first relationship, which sadly changed how i approach girls. Its a good feeling knowing that our past will no longer bother us and its a good feeling we can hold onto precious memories and discard those that made a dent in our lives. Life exist to live it and to enjoy it, life is ...

   When one cannot confront his addictions, be it small or big; something is really wrong. You doing this; letting  the addiction consume your soul; well,  you're just saying that this addiction is bigger than God and that is one big lie.     God oversees everything, He's bigger than life, literally. One must stop whining and face this addiction face to face. If one doesn't do this, it will follow you thru the rest of your life. One must accept and recognize that something is gone terribly gone when God is not first in everything. One must take care of his soul, of his body because its on a lease from God. Everything in life is a lease, nothing is guarantee  to last for ever.    You can't face this addiction, be it small or big alone. You must have God on your side and a very close person by your other side. If you can't believe or accept this addiction that has taken over your life, God will surely call your ...

In all my life, I have never tried to gain the attention of a girl, I never did anything to impress a girl. For me, liking a girl is tough to do if she's not in the same page as me. Sometimes it will not be the case, they'll be some times when being in the same page is not all important. Remember the movie “Never been kissed”?, well to me its “Never been a first date” and as a christian, dating is hard. I dont have a car, money is scarce for me (sometimes I have, sometimes I dont, depends on the hours) and I'm super shy when it comes to girls, cause I can't express my feelings. Do you know why I can't express my feelings? Its not all about my shyness, but telling point blank to girl that I like her? Just like that? It gives me the chills. Well, what do I got to lose telling a girl that I like her, when in fact I got everything to win if she respond positively; but its not necessarily important to express your feelings to her early. Wait a while, gain h...

Half a year has passed now, And my heart still wonders what happen. It wonders and questions the path that it took: the path full of vanity and sorrow. Where the light is no more and where darkness reigns. Oh dear soul, blame no one for your misfortune. Look and examine your steps, that took you to your spiritual demise. Look for strength where light is power, where hope is the key to every door, where happiness is the element of life, where joy is the strength and where life is just beautiful. Oh dear soul, Don't fret on the what ifs of life, Don't fret on the past, Don't be hard on yourself, Let God do his job: by keeping you safe and secure. Oh beautiful soul, no one or nothing should influence you, only the One who created you has that power. Don't worry about this world, which is full of vanity and of itself. Worry about your inner you, about your inner child: Where in your child...

The backslider and its acronyms : B is for bitterness . A is for absence. C is for carelessness. K is for ______________. S is for selfish . L is for lazyness. I is for impolitle. D is for disapproval. E is for egocentric R is for rebellious. BITTERNESS. A backslider looses the joy of his salvation but his soul is saved from damnation. He can't see how wonderful it is to live under God's watchful eyes. His eyes are covered with sin and he can't see straight, spiritual talking. He feels that people are nagging, that they can't leave him alone. He feels that the whole world is up in arms against him, but its the other way around; is the devil who's doing all the damages to his soul. His bitterness if not controlled, if not killed will take over his intellectual mind and his soul. He'll be bitter everyday till he's death. ABSENCE. The Holy Spirit is absent, because somehow he can't hear his inner voi...

Recently I've been  thinking about my calling, I'm thinking about the reasons why I left it. Life teaches you to stop thinking and start living. I haven't been right with God this past days and weeks, I haven't read His Word, for in His Word there are answers to my questions. One questions that stills plagues my mind is this: Should I really go back to the instituto and finish my pastoral studies? Do I really need to do something with my life? Duh yeah. God knows my weakness and my strengths. He knows my limits. But that doesn't stop him and it shouldn't stop me from restarting 2012.
