Who I am

Hello Readers,

I just wanted to briefly discuss how important it is to do what we are called to do…..

 

I started to post many things on different types of blog sites and Facebook and eventually realized that God had a bigger plan. God gave me a way with words and opened up many things through my daily walks with him. So I decided to make my own Blog site that way I can help people learn about Jesus Christ and his truth.

Many people want to believe in God but lack the true knowledge. Many people are skeptical, and don’t know what to believe, others believe and lack the foundation. Well, my goal is to help people, get to know, grow, and show Gods true divinity.

So here we are….

Enjoy!

Why do people repent and fall in sin- Repeatedly? Part 2

Yesterday I discussed how many people repent and sin, repent and sin...on this vicious cycle. I wanted to further discuss this issue. I wanted to discuss how it doesn't have to be this way. I wanted to tell you, that it is possible to not sin. Okay, so I talked about how important it is for us to make a decision to stay committed, now as we further get into the theology I wanted to explain that it isn't impossible In the Old Testament, yes, it was impossible not to sin. But the sole purpose of Jesus's coming was to clean the slate, to remove the burden of sin off of our blood. To send the counselor, the divine power, the advocate who is the Holy Spirit to allow man to stay away from sin (sin from Adam and Eve which caused the fall of man). So for those that have fully…

Why do people repent and fall into sin- repeatedly?

I noticed growing up this was a common theme among lots of young people. I would constantly hear things like; "oh, I am a Christian now.... I quit partying, I follow Jesus now." Only to either see or hear about them a few short months later, how they were seen drunk, or swearing like a sailor at the local Bowling alley. What happens to people after they repent? Is this repentance authentic? When young people repent are they born again?... These are all very good questions when you approach the topic of repentance... I too haven't lived a very solidly paved Christian lifestyle my entire life. I have walked away from God, I have fallen into sin, and I have even been upset with God. So what happens after you repent? Well, people repent for different reasons. This may be because of guilt, shame, hating their life, or being pressured…

Disappointment- Dealing with Rejection

Have you dealt with disappointment in the last few months? If you haven't then you aren't reaching high enough. The truth is we will all deal with disappointment, rejection, fear, anxiety, or pain in our lifespan- its inevitable. You must remember though, if it happened then God allowed it, therefore it has a purpose. You may not know the reason now, but you will eventually. God is incapable of making mistakes. We as humans have a huge desire to be accepted. From an early age we are conditioned to look for acceptance. As early as grade school we try to impress everyone we can, although we are told to be ourselves, we ignore that as we try and impress that one girl, that one boy, or that one teacher. We spend our lives trying to impress our parents, we as kids love to hear our parents so- good job son,…

God’s Timing vs. Our Timing

How many people have a hard time waiting for something they want. I remember as a kid I had the hardest time in the world waiting for some sort of event. I would get so anxious. I would stay up at night and not be able to sleep. We measure everything based on time; how long we work, how often we eat, when to go to bed....and so forth. So the idea of time is our livelihood. So when we want something in life its no surprise we want to attach time to its outcome. The correlation between time and events is the only way we process things in our brain. The reason why solitaire confinement in prisons is cruel and unusual punishment is because the person is unaware how long he has been sitting in there. He is unaware if its day or night, summer or winter, lunch or dinner.…

The Tongue of a Serpent- Gossip, Slander, Rumors

This topic must be addressed because I think many people underestimate the severity of its power! I have noticed among the Slavic culture (not only of course, but mainly) the idea of gossip and bad mouthing people is a norm. Sadly, this happens among the so called Christian circles. If you sit down and have a cup of tea at a Russian household its just a matter of time before someone will say something negative about someone else.... People love doing this. So whats so bad about saying something that's already true, right? If a person is in sin why not address that sin in front of all your friends, or family...? What harm can it cause, Right? This mentality is precisely what gets people in trouble. People simply do not understand the power of the tongue. They think that bad mouthing someone will not bite back. Ironically, I experienced this first…

Spiritually Empty

I think as Christians we have all gone through this at one point, and for those that aren't Christian just yet...just wait, you will eventually . I have to admit something- for the last few weeks I have been mentally in autopilot. I have been doing the bare minimum in life....it seems like a routine that we need to do over and over again. I have done the bare minimum at work, in my personal life and in my spiritual life. The last few weeks, I go to church on Sunday, I pray practically everyday. And I read the Bible when I have time....Well this sort of routine will eventually leave you spiritually empty. This mainly happens in life when we are either disappointed in a certain outcome (didn't get a job that you wanted, didn't go on that vacation that you needed, didn't date that girl you liked, etc...)…

Dealing with Ourselves- The Rough, the tough, and the Ugly

This topic is one that I've been meaning to talk about for weeks now. Its a topic that everyone should hear, and definitely something we all need to work on. We as humans were created by an all mighty God that has emotions. This is precisely why we all experience emotions too. However, most of our emotions are based on our moods. If we are hungry we get cranky, if sleepy we get irritable, if we get sick we feel frustrated...and want to be taken care of. However, God ins't controlled by a flesh that produces irrational responses. I'm sure most of us have felt this at one point or another..... I grew up in a family of 4 kids, we grew up in a middle class family...where we didn't necessarily need to pass down sneakers, but my parents were definitely savers.  I remember my little sister being so spoiled- being…

Gods Beautiful Creation

The last several days I have been preoccupied with an amazing new addition to my family...He is actually a K9. This is partially why I haven't been able to get to my blogging. Among all other things of course. The day I went and picked up my new dog- I was driving down the street couldn't believe how excited I was. I was actually nervous, as if I was picking up a date. I shortly realized how much I truly loved dogs. I think the anticipation really killed me, I had been waiting 8 weeks to finally get this little guy. However, the day had come...As I drove him home, I sat and observed his behavior. I was fascinated how different he was from the other dogs I had owned. I was intrigued by how unique he was. He was just sitting there starring at me with his gorgeous blue eyes,…

We Are a Shallow Breed: Fitting in Society

This topic really grinds my gears..I look around and see what makes the world tick. I see what drives people..what inspires people and I think to myself, what happened to society. We live in a time where people will only call you if they need something, they will never ever waste any of their time helping others, unless there's an incentive. People live for themselves, they drown themselves in useless activities, just to make an excuse that they are busy. Where does this originate from? Why are people so careless, so selfish, so Godless? As I look around, I see this entire society conditioned to think as certain way...I see media feeding everyone how they should perceive the world. I know this perception very well, because I was taught this strategy. One of the Majors I graduated in is marketing. Marketing is a very interesting field. It essentially makes or…

Decisions of Life: The Good with the Bad- Part 1

I have always been a bad decision maker, this goes probably for most of us... How many of us are proud of everything we have ever done? How many of us recall a very specific bad decision we have made in our life? Oh man, If making bad decisions was a sport I would be a professional.....It seems that no matter how hard I try I still cannot overcome bad decisions in life. Let me recall one very bad decision in my life that still haunts me to this day. As a young adolescent, I grew up in Fresno California, for those that have no idea where that's at...? Good. Its a terrible place, somewhere between San Francisco and Mexico...where the Gangs are like street performers on the main strip in Vegas. When I was roughly 10 years old, I was walking to school with one of my best friends Ryan.…
