Over the past few years, I have made it my aim to know God more. We can have a relationship with Christ but many times not even know Him. Our prayer life, for instance, many times is talking and talking, but never listening for His voice. We feel good when we pray, we know we’re supposed to,
As I study the Scriptures, the more I realize that God’s desire is for us to know Him intimately. All throughout the Bible God invites us to know Him personally. Salvation is not just about accepting Jesus into your heart, but rather, living for Him every day. He doesn’t just want you to say the ‘sinner’s prayer’,
Most Christians don’t think that God is out to harm them; however, many seem to believe that God is out to harm others, especially people who are disobedient. People think if you don’t do the thing the way God wants it; He’s going to cause destruction over your life. People won’t confess these things exactly this way,
As I have been reading God’s Word lately, I’ve noticed that God truly is after our whole heart. I’ve mentioned in other blogs how God doesn’t want just a fraction of it, His desire is all or nothing. We must give our lives over to Him, because there is a dedication that Jesus asked for.
Today, October 31, 2016 marks the 499th anniversary of the day Martin Luther posted his famous 95 thesis on the Catholic Church. He wanted to make a statement against the things that were wrong with the Catholic church of his day. They were selling indulgences and promising things that they could in no way fulfill. A special
Are you going through a difficult time right now? You may even feel like giving up. A breakthrough is necessary. You know that God has given you a promise, but it seems that everything is falling on top of you. So many struggles and difficulties and there seems to be no way around them. The thoughts of
The other day I was walking through one of my favourite places in Guatemala. It’s the favourite place of most tourists and missionaries. It’s called Antigua, but not to be confused with the island of the same name. In Antigua you see many things from Mayans in their typical dress, markets filled with merchandise/souvenirs, cobblestone roads, people from
The more I read the Bible and especially the Gospels; I see that Jesus called us to a new way of radical living. It’s much different than what we are seeing in the lives of Christians today. Jesus wants us to raise a higher standard. When Jesus came to earth and lived as a human, He raised
Recently, I’ve talked about wanting to live a life completely surrendered to Jesus. A life where I can truly say it’s not my own. I want to make a difference everywhere I go. I hear people often say, speaking of others, “he/she says they’re a Christian but they really aren’t”. This is because here in Guatemala it’s
I’ve started deeper into a journey. It’s not a journey that ‘no man has gone before’. Although, it’s one that very few have taken and even fewer dare to take today. It’s a journey of complete surrender to Jesus. It will require all of our effort to “count all things as lost for Christ”. (Philippians 3:7) My
