The other day I heard this godly man saying that the church is like a marriage, that you don't give up on the first fight, immediately in my thoughts I agree with him....but then I star to think about it, and it took me back to a experience a had some time ago about a couple that was getting a divorce….
when I star to analyze how came a so potential marriage came to an end I realize few things; first of all, they were very blessed, they were healthy and strong people, God bless then with a house…

I remember long time ago when i used to teach Sunday school, i had had a very good teacher who saw a gift in me and promptly send me on ministering to others.....one day, this fellow came to me and say something like this: " did you know why Hitler used to get so excited when he was speaking ? because he like to be in control "....
I thought to myself what is the problem with this guy, what does this have to this class?!
Sometimes God uses ungodly people to talk to us....later on I came to und…

Sometimes is hard for me to understand the way we see each other in a church, i mean Jesus Christ was the "Green tree" Luke 23:31 and he was treat like dirt , and we many times want to be recognized by people...Yes the bible talks about reconizing the ones among you, but like Jesus and Paul and some others, they were the first ones to pull up theis sleves and go to work...
I think the reason the early Church groom so far was because they had a real view of Leadership, Jesus was the one whom mot…

On our daily walk God, we many times forget the He is still in charge of the "situation"...
Jesus said in Mattheus 28:18 ".....I have been given
all authority in haven and on earth"
I believe have read this passage so many times, but my focus was always on the next verse: "Therefore, go and make disciples......."
I confess having a hard time " trying" to make disciples.
How can I make disciples when the focus is always on my performance, my abilities, my skills or on my way of communi…

I was listening to a pastor this morning, and what he said made me think about where was I on my Spiritual walk with the Lord;
he mention a story about a baseball player, that after riting the ball and run for the base, was desqualified, was OUT, just because one simple thing:
" he forgot the first base ".....
Many times we do go to church, " PAY " our tithes, do our duty, but in the end we are heading straight to hell....
The biblie said we can not enter the kingdon of haven if we are not BORN…

When I think about Thanksgiving, i can't let go of the thought of a great feast with a lots of food, specially desert's, I love it..
But when i give a second though, the only worthy , logical, sensible thing to do is to thank God!
I see so many people falling apart, so many Church's forgetting their purpose, so many people getting so involved with the commotion of the Holiday, they even forget about people, about friends, about the tools and opportunities we have to get closer and to touch lif…

Some people think being contagious is something that happens over night....
I think being contagious is just to make yourself available to be used by God...
God start these in Abrahan's heart few thousands years ago, and he passed it to Isac, whom pass it to Jacob, and so on....
In Hebrews 11....i see what being contagious means ; and I think there is only one way to be contagious, and it is to be available, is to love God to the point of be willing to be used by Him...
In may case it start ab…

As I was reading Acts 27: 30-31 " Then the sailors tried to abandon the ship; ......31 but Paul said to the commanding officer and the soldiers, " You will all die unless the sailors stay aboard"...
It is not a surprise to almost anyone at West Kendall Baptist, that our church is going through a financial difficulty time, but its know that we have to stick together...
Some of those sailors would be better of ( at least that was what they though), if they abandoned the ship and went on with the…

I really have a bad time when it came to '" giving"...many times it seams to me that we are doing God a favor by giving back to Him, what is already His.
And it only works by conviction and the Bible says that by listening (reading) the word of God, is that I will have faith, and only the Holy Spirit can convict us of the things of the Spirit and giving only starts with a spiritual conviction.
I also think giving is an act or "worship", I have a friend that sometimes she comes to church just t…

Need “MONEY”
It’s easy how we can get distracted when it comes for money….Its so easy to forget what God say that HE “is” our Jehovah Jireh!!!!
We worship Him on Sunday morning and then by Sunday afternoon we start to worry about His provision…
But please do NOT take me wrong, I’m just human as anyone else...
Sometimes I fear about my future, my daughter’s well being, if I will be there to care for all her needs, I worry if I will have a job tomorrow, but then I remember where do I have to go f…

but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord.
How?
Be joyful in hope,
Put your hope in Christ as if your life depended on it.... it does
Your joy will come when you are fully trusting him...No body can take the Joy of your salvation from you... because when you belong to Him, nothing can separate you from his love: neither angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come. Christ wants you eternally secure so that you can focus on your purpose
patient in affliction,
Affli…

I was in my car driving home, when these words came to me.
I saw a seed being planted. I saw His strong caring rough hands with tender emotion make the hole. Then gently He put the seed deep in the soil.
I asked, what is this? Softly He spoke to my heart and I heard; “ I personally planted you.
You were in my bag of seeds for a little time. I purposely picked you for what I needed you to do and be. The place where I planted you is the environment I desired you to be so that you can grow.
At firs…

Hello everyone!
I pray this finds you well.
I just wanted to share a page from my journal with you.
It started two months before my February Guatemala trip.
I hope it helps you as it helped me.
Before I went to Guatemala I was at a roadblock in my life. Everything I tried to do and accomplish seemed to dry up and not lead to anything. I prayed, I fasted, I tithe and gave offerings but nothing changed.
When the opportunity to go to Guatemala came up, I said to myself maybe I could meet God in t…

If being Christians meant we were the most real people on earth rather than the most religious, evangelism as a program would disappear forever.
Why you may ask?
Simply because the people Jesus misses most would be exposed to His message through the very natural means of friendship, kindness, concern, and listening ears.
This kind of reality would surprise and mystify them instead of confusing them. Perhaps then the missing would seek the found to find out more about what motivates the caring n…
