IAMFORGIVEN

Double Standards

I actually witnessed something pretty odd the other day. There was a guy who was pulling out of a side road onto Rosecrans and totally cut off this girl; to a point where she almost crashed her car. Luckily she was able to pump her brakes and avoid the accident. The man looked at her…

An Unfamiliar Face

He walked through the doors for the first time not knowing where to turn. Only finding himself with a strong desire to go to church. He had tried things of the world; a crazy lifestyle, parties, girls, drugs, sex and alcohol. Hopeless and unfulfilled turning to new territory with an open heart looking for true…

Loving Your City Through Prayer

There is something that happens when you pray. For the longest time I couldn’t figure out why I had this dry spell not really caring for my community. I have always had a great concept of wanting to reach out to those people that live in Hermosa Beach to bring the gospel but never had…

Motivations

Motivations can be a tricky thing… A lot of times we do things that look really good on the outside but on the inside we are doing them to exalt our self and make our self look good so we can feel good about our self. That is a lot of SELF! The hard part…

One of the HARDEST thing to do

Love THIS guy?

Jesus said, “Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.” You want me to do WHAT????? It was a beautiful early Saturday morning… The traffic was flowing on the 405; the smog was only half bad because of the previous rains, and the homeless people on the corner were holding signs that say…

Intentionally Being Missional

We live in an area populated by millions of people, in fact I just looked up online how many people live in Los Angeles County and there are close to 10 million people just in this area of Southern California. Everywhere we go there are humans! I wake up in the morning walk outside and…

Don’t wait

All of us have at one point in our lives have wanted to fake our death, go to our own funeral and see who would show up to hear what they would say about us. Would they be good experiences that we shared with others? Or more on the negative side? We all get that…

Does anybody Care?

I ran into a friend the other day and they asked how I was doing. At that point a thought came to me which made me wonder if they really cared or was this question just a friendly hello. So I began to tell them how I was doing and what was going on in…
