Freedom in Repentance

Last night as I was praying God revealed something else to me that started to make sense to me even more so, it was about repentance. What is this repentance? Why should we repent? Repentance is realizing how bad your imperfections and sins are, despising them so much that you never want to do them…

As one door closes…

So a lot of you have heard the news about God closing the door at Hope Chapel… Let me just explain the full story so everybody knows how amazing God is! I had just finished up school at Vanguard and wanted to get away to sit with God and just pray for the next step…

Is this Possibile?

You, Lord, give true peace to those who depend on you, because they trust you. Isaiah 26:3 This is pretty funny because this scripture has been in my email footer for a couple years now as a way to give comfort to those that do not know Jesus. It is only RECENTLY beginning to make…

An Interesting Encounter

I went into Starbucks to get into word last night but as I walked in, it was packed. There didn’t seem to be a good spot to sit down, lay out my books and read. So I went ahead and ordered my large vanilla spice latte in hopes that a seat would open up and…

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…

Do you Trust Him?

Do you Trust Him? Yeah.. Yeah I trust Him. No. Do you Trust Him? Yes, I trust Him. No, Think about this Question… Do you REALLY TRUST HIM? This is a question that we answer without really thinking about, and don’t find out until our trust is challenged. In life we are faced with daily…

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…

Look Familiar?

There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy,without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— having a form of godliness but denying…

Grace is not an excuse to sin.

What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? By no means! Romans 6:1-2 We are saved by grace and if we believe the True Gospel Message of Jesus Christ, our salvation is secure through our repentance and trust in Jesus taking on our sins at the Cross. But…

I can’t believe an innocent man died for me

I have to confess that I have broken the law countless times and have murdered, lied, committed adultery, and many other things that are unthinkable. I have done all these things and more and know deep down in my heart that they were wrong and deserve severe punishment… even death. All I could do is…
