"HAPPY NEW YEAR"

The World spins on its “axle” to allow the Sun to bath it with its warm light,
the part that was exposed to the cold whether, and the darkness of the night.

Suddenly, a brilliant star appears on the sky that seems to say:
Wake up! Dawn its coming! It is beginning the day!

Let’s open up the windows!
Let get rid of all this cold!
Let’s enjoy this blessing,
It is as precious as gold!

Poor Earth, she still has a longer path to run,
A round trip around the Sun!

Obeying the orders of our great General,
Without fear! Without laziness, and for our amaze!
Always returns with precision,
Exactly to the same place!

Taking over her shoulders the small, but vanity full moon,
that wanted to see her face again and again on the lagoon!

The Earth got scared when she saw very close coming a comet,
the Sun smiles when he sees passing our lovely blue planet!

When she was taking a star shower,
one got stuck into her ear,
In the meantime she removes it,
I WISH YOU A HAPPY NEW YEAR!

PRAISE THE LORD!

Read the Bible!
Let Christ illuminate you with his Light,
Share with others!
He will open up your sight!

"WHAT IS LOVE?"

Love is Goodness
Love is Mercy
Love is Charity!

Share your love,
forget about loneliness,
Don’t be sad with emptiness,
Love will bring you happiness!

False love will make you feel insecure
Away from sincerity
false love is an enmity.

True Love,
Cannot be bought with money
True Love is not bitter,
It is sweet as honey!

If you doubt about Love,
Always remember Christ!
He will give you security,
He will give you Liberty!

True Love was hung on the cross
Open wide your eyes and see,
Jesus Christ will set you free!

“gods” are many!
But God that became a man.. .
There is only ONE!

Charity is to help!
Charity is to Bless!
CHARITY IS TO LOVE!

"WHAT PRESENT CAN I GIVE YOU?"

“Wherever two or three people were reunited in my name, I will be in the
middle of them” Mathew 18-20.

“WHAT PRESENT CAN I GIVE YOU?”

We were very happy exchanging presents in a Christmas day,
Jesus Christ was very quiet observing how the people were opening
their presents!

The party was because of Him, but nobody bought Him a thing!
Somebody noticed his presence and he thought He was watching him,
And very deep inside he was thinking:

Lord: What kind of present can I buy for you?
If I give you a check, you cannot cash it!
If I give you cash, you cannot spend it!
If I give you toys, I don’t think you want to play with them! Then,
What present can I give you?

Your eyes are so powerful that anything I do you know it!
You know all my sins and I cannot go back to fix them!
But if we come to you in pain,
You forgive us again!

Lord: What present can I buy?
I know! I know what I can do!
I want to begin to obey you!

And if you help me.....
I will start loving people truthfully since today!
And I won’t be able to sin that way!

Sincerely I wish you through all eternity,
A wonderful Nativity!

Happy Birthday Jesus!

"THE ROOT AND THE FRUIT"

The root of plants and trees are to absorb from the soil all the necessary
nutrients to make the plant to grow up healthy and strong.
They are a great variety of plants, some produces fruits and others do not!
Human beings, produce good fruits and bad ones!
Are we like trees?
No! We are not trees or like trees! Believe it or not: We are Soil!
What???
Do you remember: “We are dust, and we are going back to the dust?”
When God created man, He made him from the ground, in our bodies
we have most if not all kind of minerals the earth contains!
In the Garden of Eden or Paradise if you please, they were, or still are,
a huge amount of trees that bear fruits.
God told Adam and Eve that they could eat from all of them, except
from the one at the center of the garden called:
The tree of good and evil, if they do, God said, they will surly die!
Then, the serpent showed up, and told Eve that they would not die, and
will be like “gods ”and they will be able to know about good and evil.
Eve was convinced by the serpent and ate from the fruit!
She gave it to Adam and he ate!
THE SEED WAS PLANTED! The seed became a plant, grew up, and
converted into a big tree, a tree that produces bad fruits!
We did not plant the seed, it was already there! But we fed it, and took
good care of it, while the good seed, remained a small plant that never
grew up! And in most cases, it withered and died!
We could sow in us good seeds! But, where could we get some?
The Bible is a “Farm” full of good seeds to be planted inside of us!
Good seeds that will produce sweet fruits to give to people!
They are only two kinds of fruits: Good and Bad!
Good fruits are LOVE AND CARE! Bad fruits are the ones that make
people: HATE, HURT AND KILL!
If we sow in us the good seeds and produce good fruits,
What do we need Christ for?
Good question! Christ is the Word of God!
When He Resurrected He went back to heaven but, He left with us,
HIS WORD! SO WE COULD LEARN ABOUT HIM!
JESUS CHRIST IS THE GOOD SOWER!
He is the only one that can soften the heart of rock we now have,
and prepare it to receive the good seeds, He will gladly sow in us!
He will send his Holy Spirit to live within us to teach us and make
us to understand what we are reading, and when we are ready,
we will be filled with good fruits!
The good fruits for people’s enjoyment!
Jesus told us that there is a good and bad soil as well.
The bad soil, is full of rocks that prevents the roots from adhering
to the floor.
Without food, the plant gets weak, and with the hot sun, dies!
But the good soil is the one that allows the plant to become a tree
and produce good fruits at thirty, sixty or one hundred percent.
We could be the good soil that grows a great percentage of trees
to convert the deserts into forests that produce good fruits to feed
the whole world if we let Jesus Christ to soften our hearts just by
asking Him to sow in us, the good seeds we obtained in His Word!

IN A LITTLE TOWN OF JUDEA A LITTLE BABY WAS BORN
TO BECOME THE SAVIOR OF THE WORLD!
HIS NAME IS EMANUEL!
GOD WITH US!

PRAISE THE LORD!

"MARRIAGE"

We would like to ask you for an advice because we are getting married!
If you already decided to get married what do you need the advice for?
Oh! Because we are not really sure everything is going to be right,
that is why!
Well I think nobody is really sure of that, but, the most important think is: Do you love each other?
Very much! But.. ..
But what?
That is what we are trying to find out!
Hey! What is the matter with you? Are you trying to make me crazy?
If you two are not really sure what you want, how am I going to be able
to help you?
If we were sure, we wouldn’t be asking for counseling!
Don’t you think so?
Yes! It is true! I’m sorry!
I ‘m going to explain you something, and God please, help me!
Men are just one half of a “machine” women are the other half!
Both were made different, think different act different!
For both, certain things have greater priorities than others, however, the
most important for women are not always the most important for men.
And of course, it will be an error to try to make the women priorities
the same ones for men, do you understand?
No! Not very well!
All right! I am going to explain it in another way:
We should not force them to be like us!
Or let them make us to think like them! Because we both are different!
We both were made for different purposes!
And to change it is not healthy! It is not recommended for the couple,
because this won’t help anyone!
And what if this happens,
Well, it happens that no one is happy!
It begins and unbalanced situation! One person dominating the other!
For their own defeat! Of course!
Yes! Now we understood! Thank you!
Let me give you an example:
Take for instance a Duet, a couple of persons singing at the same time,
One person sings in a tone and the other in a lower or a higher one,
and sounds very nice, because they harmonize and make it a pleasant
sound for the ones that are listening, but if they both sing in the same
tone, without harmony it sounds horrible!
A marriage without harmony does not function right and both suffer!
One should respect the tone of the other person and not grab both,
because when this happens, he or she will be neither of the two!
Something else:
Men and women, we both have bad habits, and if we thing we could
correct them after we get married we are in a big error, if we could
not correct them before, after marriage it is practically impossible!
This is also a mistake!
We should accept each other as we are and not as we should be!
and not try to change each other repeating every day the same thing!
Probably with love, they change by themselves!
Oh God! When are you going to change him, or her, and God answers:
After you change!
Because it is very easy to see the errors in other people but very hard
to see our own errors and bad habits!
We should not get married to be happy!
But to make happy our couple!
The Bible says that when we get married we stop to be two people
And begin to be ONE! Genesis 2-24.
I becomes we, mine becomes ours!
When I persist, marriage won’t resist! It breaks apart!
When a couple is united in one, there is nothing impossible!
The two halves together assemble into a powerful machine!
But if one try to dominate the other, the machine stops working!
We should not get married just for not to be lonesome,
Or just for sex, or for beauty or only to form a family, we should
get married before anything else, to make our couple happy!
Everything else comes by itself!
If you think you could be able to do this trough the years to come,
GO AHEAD DO IT!
Otherwise, the sweet dream of marriage results in a horrible
nightmare, that culminates into a divorce.
Just for an error!
Error? What error?
The error of thinking that the duty to make happy belongs to the
“other” person, and both seat down to wait, and never shows up!
It is the duty of both! If one fails, both suffer!
There is more pleasure in giving that in receiving, said Jesus,
And that means: Happiness comes to us, not when we restrain it,
but when we give it away!
Oh! I was forgetting something:
Respect is a very important issue! Everything bad starts when we
stop respecting our couple!
I hope I have helped you!
Oh yes! We are going to be very happy! Because, I am going to buy
everything for her, and she is going to buy everything for me!
That is not right!
Material things won’t buy happiness! Happiness come trough little
things, nice words, kindness, a little token of love!
Flowers, your favorite dish, something that makes your heart happy!
A golden cage won’t make the bird happy!
Yes! You are right!
Marriage is a couple united with a string, and this string should be used
to help each other to ascend the highest mountains of life and not to try
to hang up each other with it!
I think that when this happens, the best should be to cut the rope,
to avoid a tragedy!
Material things don’t change the feelings of people!
The only thing that can change the feelings of the whole world:
Is LOVE!

HAPPINESS IS TO GIVE!
IT IS TO LOVE!
MY BEST WISHES TO BOTH
AND MAY GOD BLESS YOU!

"THE BIBLE LIKE A CAKE"

The Bible is God’s Book!
He inspired it to be written and read by his sons, and then, little by little they could be able to know their Father: The Supreme Creator!
However, for one or another reason, people don’t read it, they just put it
away on top of the closet’s shelve where it gathers dust!

One day I was passing by a christian church, and I saw a sign which says:
DUSTY BIBLE CROOKED WAYS!
How true is that! Because the Bible teaches us right ways!

If the Bible were a Cake, the only way to know its taste, and sweetness is:
Eating it! The same thing happens with the Bible, the only way to know it’s
treasures and sweetness is by reading it!

I don’t have my Bible dusty, said a man, I clean it every week!
Me neither said another man, because I don’t have one!
Well, I think it is time to buy us one! Or start dusting it out and begin
to read it everyday to start tasting it’s flavor!

This way we will begin straightening out our road to God!

Nobody buys a cake and make it an altar and sanctify himself, every time
He passes close to it, (To sanctify is to make the sign of the cross)
But he buys it, admire it, smell it, cut a slice of it, eat it, and invite others to sweeten their mouths with it!
It should be the same with the Bible, instead of just sanctify us with it,
We should open it up, read it, share with others our lectures, sweeten
with this, our souls, our hearts, our minds and of course: our spirit!

We will never be able to know all treasures and blessings God has prepare
for us, if we do not decide once and for all, to “eat”such a delicious “Cake”

God is always ready to be with you, every time you want to read his Book!
And help you to understand what you are reading!

Knowledge is our duty as human beings!
The desire to know our God it’s a pleasure!
GOD BLESS YOU!

"THREE GREAT LADIES"

HOPE: Is a “dove” who wants to fly south
when winter weather is coming.

CHARITY: Strong wings to reach out destiny!

FAITH: Is to believe she came back,
and spring already started!

FAITH Is liberty! It is life! Future is ours!
Without Faith there is no life!
Our spirit is dead!

FAITH: Is confidence! It is certainty!
Faith always leads!

HOPE: Is a young girl with insecure steps!
Charity is the cane in which she leans!

Without Charity there is no Hope!
Without Hope there is no Faith!
Without Faith there is nothing to Hope for!

Charity follows up Faith without
forgetting Hope and hurrying her up!

Hope is a spark ignited by Charity!
With Charity and Hope.. ..
The fire of Faith it’s born!

Our Hope is Jesus, when we want to go heaven!
Charity for us: His death on the cross!
Faith: To believe we are sharing paradise with Him!

These three Ladies always go together,
They are inseparable friends!
When one of them is missing…
Stop! And look for her!

Faith, Hope and Charity, take us to the cross!
The cross takes us to Jesus,
And Jesus take us to God!
Praise the Lord!

"WHAT DO YOU SEE?"

I was looking at a crucifix with a great desire to ask Him for help, but I,
did not have the courage to do it!
Suddenly, a person approached me, and very kindly said:
Pardon me sir, what are you looking at?
Oh! I’m sorry I said, I was so amazed looking at the crucifix, that I did not realized ,that somebody else was here!
Many people told me he does wonders, and grants people what they want
If the ask Him with Faith, but, I could only see a good person that has been victimized with great cruelty! I see a person that trying to help people, was condemn to die on a cross in which he died with all his good intentions!
And the truth is that how is he going to help me with his hands and feet
nailed down on the cross?
How is He going to help me if he couldn’t help himself?
I do need help! Yes! But I think he could not be able to do it!
Oh! I’m sorry! I’m very sorry to hear you talking that way about Him!
What you are looking at, is just only a small part of his past!
His life is in all three dimensions of time: Past, resent and Future!
Are you trying to tell me that his life does not end on the cross?
You are exactly right! Listen:
The Past of Jesus, begins when his people where asking everyday to God
for a Messiah, a Savior, somebody that could be able to end with their
sufferings and to free them from their enemies!
God had Mercy on them, and sent his beloved Son to help them out,
but they did not believe He was sent by God, and they rejected Him,
and did not rest until they saw Him crucified thinking that it was going to be the end of the story, but it was not!
After his death, He was buried and at the third day, He rose!
He came back to life to never die again! He woke up to an everlasting life!
Jesus was taken to heaven and NOW Present tense, He is seating down at
the right hand of God his Father, ready to listen to all people that tired of being captives of sin, they wish to become free and get rid of their chains!
And by opening their hearts to Jesus Christ, they receive his Holy Spirit
to begin a new life at the service of God and people, in the mean time
they wait for His Glorious return bringing for us, Salvation and also
to judge everyone that rejected Him!
When we see the crucifix, we are not looking at a weak person but,
at the Almighty God, we are not looking at a looser but at a Conqueror!
We are not looking at a person punished for sinner or bad behavior,
We are looking at Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior!
Repent for your past! Receive Him now! And live forever!
Thank You Jesus!
Tell me: What do you see?

"MAN IN ETERNITY"

Have you read the Bible?
No! To tell you the truth, no! I haven‘t!
Why?
Well, because I tried, and fell to sleep!
Because it is hard to understand!
Because I don’t have time!
Because I have a lot of other things to do! That is why!
Let me ask you another question if you don’t mind:
Do you read the news papers?
Don’t you turn the pages over and over until you get tired?
Yes! But.. That is different!
Why?
Because I need to know all that happened yesterday!
Yes! You are right about that! Yesterday belongs to the past!
That means it is wrong to call it News, because there is nothing new in it!
God’s book the Bible, let you know about the past, the present and the future. Won’t you like to know about the future?
It tells you everything since God created the world, (Past)
Until He is going to renew it! (Future) and also tells you how to remove from you all sin have been accumulated inside since the Past, until the Present so you could have a better future!
And no “News paper” is going to tell you that!
How ever, all these are in the book you don’t want to read The Bible!
I have a question: If I don’t read the Bible, I can not be saved?
Good question! But let me tell you something.. ..
There is no book in the world that can save anybody! No! Not one!
The only thing they can do is to point out where to find The Savior!
And our job as a believer is to find Him!
Are they many “saviors”?
What a question! I want to answer it with another question?
ARE THERE MANY CREATORS OF THE UNIVERSE?
No! there is only ONE!
Then, YOU ANSWERD YOUR OWN QUESTION!
THE Bible tells us who and where He is, and when you find Him,
fall on your knees and beg Him with all your heart to save you!
The Bible tells us all, God has done and will do for us!
I don’t understand! Could you explain me better?
Sure! Look:
God created everything for our enjoyment!
He created the human being to exist forever!
But the devil put his feet inside the plan and spoil it all!
He deceived Eve, who gave Adam to eat from the prohibited fruit,
and then, because of disobedience to God, sin came to the world!
Changing the plan for eternal life to eternal doom!
I, I still don’t understand! Could you explain it better?
Yes! I will! I will explain it in another way:
Just imagine that God made a “movie” called: “Man in Eternity”
This would be a movie in which the human being created at the image and
Likeness of God, will live forever in paradise without any need to work,
just worshiping our Lord and Holy God and procreating until filling up
all the planet with people!
I understand but, living forever, the planet will be full in no time and people won’t have any place to live isn’t it?
Yes! But without having any wars, hate or envies, people could live very happy,and loving themselves, they could live in friendship with God and obtain from Him, greater minds so they could develop other means for example to inhabit other worlds from the millions and millions of planets that could support human life!
If separated from God, man has been able to conquered the moon, and have sent satellites to explore other worlds, next to God, the human being could have made many more wonderful things than they have done now!
Don’t you thing so?
Yes! I agree! But.. ..
What ever happen with the “movie” you were talking about?
Oh! Yes! I’m sorry! I was going some place else!
I was saying that when Adam and Eve disobeyed God, the “movie” stopped!
Because of the devil’s work, God changed the plan and allowed the devil to put his own production named : “The eternal doom of man!
In this movie, man is punished by God removing them from paradise and living from the product of their sweat until the end of his days, and then.. .. For all his sins, man will receive death forever, because they were nobody that could save him from damnation of sin! But God in his infinite Mercy, sent his only Son to destroy the devil’s work!
And by means of his Love for us,He offered himself in sacrifice
to be able to be:
THE SAVIOR OF THE HUMAN RACE!
With his blood, He bought freedom from sin of all who deposit their love and faith in Him ! Faith that believes He is what He says He is:
THE HOLY SON OF GOD!
Faith that make us to believe He died to forgive us and He resurrected
to conquer eternal life for us!
Restoring the friendship with his Father!
Friendship that was broken up by sin!
Jesus Christ practically cold stops the devil’s “movie” and restores the original movie made by God: “MAN IN ETERNITY”
The devil’s movie, will keep playing and playing in us bringing for us all the consequences that comes with it : Sin and condemnation!
Unless we decide to look for Christ to change it and BE SAVED!
SAVED FROM ETERNAL DOOM!
Remember: No book can save us! Not one!
Only Christ can!
And where is He?
He is knocking at the door of your heart!
OPEN IT UP, AND LET HIM IN!

Jose Salazar
S. de C.

"WILL MAN CONQUER THE UNIVERSE?"

He will!
He will? But you just told me that he never will, because he is weak and
always attached to the umbilical cord of mother earth!
What made you change your mind?
No! I haven’t changed my mind! Man in his earthly body never will!
But I read something in the Bible that made me happy! Very happy!
What is that?
Have you read the part in the Bible in which the apostle Paul is talking
about the return of Jesus Christ to earth?
No! I am not sure! What does he say?
He says that when Jesus returns it is going to be a sound of a trumpet
And at the last sound, it will be a change, it will be a transformation of
our bodies, they will be replaced for ones that do not die!
Bodies that will live forever! Because flesh and blood are not suitable
to live in heaven! That means we will not have the necessity of air or
water, it is important to note that he is not talking of a spirit life, but
a super body that does not decay and die like the one we now have!
“In the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall
sound, and the death shall raised incorruptible and we shall be changed!...
Thanks to God which gave us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!
Corinthians 52 and 57.
Only one “problem”:
All will have new bodies, yes! All could live eternally, yes!
But the ones that did not believe in the salvation of Jesus Christ,
will be eternally doomed! (Eternal damnation)
In Christ we will be eternally free,
To praise our Lord forever!
Through Christ we will have victory over death!
With Him we will conquer the Universe!
Life forever!, Death forever!
The choice is yours!
Choose right!
And God Bless You!

"THE DEVILS AND THE ANGELS"

The devils and the angels are two teams in the “game” called:
“Life or death forever” They are playing against each other furiously because
the prize is a great one: YOURSELF!
We have been playing with the devil’s team longer that we can remember, we
practically were born with the team because the sin of Adam and Eve!
We were born in sin, and we will keep living in sin because we do not know
a better way!
Both teams want you t o play with them because they know you are the “star”
of the game, and which ever team you choose, they will the winner!
The after the game party, will be at the place which the team comes from!
And they can’t wait to finish with your game to start celebrating their victory!
The Angel’s team tells us the truth so we could join them and make them the
winners! While the Devil’s team, tells a lot of lies, offering us excitement, sex,
wealth and artificial happiness to make us to stay in their team.
They are not worried because they know we cannot leave them unless we pay
our debt in full, and we just can’t! What are we going to do?
The game lasts all our life, but while we are still alive, we have the chance to be
Hired for the other team: “THE ANGELS”
We have on our debt a long list of bad things we done to hurt people, and the
Amount of our bill is enormous, so we have to remain slaves of this team forever!
Unless God has pity on us, and helps us! God: will you please?
Yes! God already sent help for you! Don’t worry!
He is willing and able to help you! He had so much pity and mercy for you, me,
and all the people of the world, that He sent His only Son to sacrifice himself to
save us! He wants to pay your debt in full to make you free!
Your debt are offenses, to God and nobody can remove them from us, and the
penalty is death! Only one man can remove them and his name is Jesus Christ!
He died on the cross for you! Just to save you!
With Him: Your debt is paid off! Free and clear!
He paid it to rescue from the devils team, o you could play in the Angel’s team!
The manager’s name of the Angel’s team is Jesus and He is waiting for you!
What do I have to do to accept Him?
Very simple: Just say it! He died for us, and resurrected to give us life Eternal!
ASK HIM TO SAVE YOU AND YOU WILL BE FREE! But remember.. ..
We still are in the game! The game ends if you choose the Angels, or.. ..
YOU HAVE TO CHOOSE! C’MON, IS GETTING LATE!
YOU ARE CHOOSING DEATH IF YOU DON’T CHOOSE THE ANGELS!
SAY IT MY FRIEND! SAY IT! WE ARE LOOSING! YOU WILL BE NEXT!
DEAR GOD: PLEASE SAVE ME! I NEED YOU! IN JESUS NAME I PRAY!
THANK YOU JESUS! FOR DYING ON THE CROSS FOR ME!
THANKS TO YOU.. I AM SAVED AND FREE!
PRAISE THE LORD!

"THE TENANT"

Since we were born there is somebody that takes over inside our hearts,
He is the one that teaches us to lie, to curse, and all the bad things he
wants us to do! And we do not even seem to realize it because, he has
always been there and we don’t even remember since when,
he became our room made!

The room is trashed! The walls dirty, spider webs, roaches everywhere!
And a bad smell! A really stinky smell that even when we take a bath
and rub on our body the most expensive perfume, our heart, which is
the place he lives, STINKS!

We have become, thanks to him, a bad habits person with a hardened
heart inclined to the material things and the pleasures and vices of the
world, irresponsables of our duties, as people should be, insensibles
of the pain of others, and so full of hate that corrodes our souls.
Is it ever going to be an end of this?
Our life is not eternal! We need help! But nobody can help us!
This “Tenant” of ours, is not satisfied dirtying our hearts, but also
dirties our minds, and our souls.
Drink! Smoke!He says, steal! Curse! Lie!
ENJOY LIFE BECAUSE IS SHORT! Don’t worry!
Tomorrow you will die and everything comes to an end!

We trust him, and we let him take control of our lives, not realizing
that obeying him, will make our lives shorter, because alcohol, drugs,
cigarrets, and having sex with different people could end our lives
with terrible illnesses like cancer and A.I.D.S.

It would be nice if we could see all the damage this tenant of us is
causing in our lives and kick him out and close the door so he could
never come back to us, but is not that easy, because he has been with
us for so long, that he thinks we are his property, he thinks we are
his slaves, and to tell you the truth, he may be right!

Why?

Well, because we haven’t done anything at all to get rid of him!
Some times, we see all the filth in us and we try to fix it sweeping
dusting, and putting everything in order to have some rest, but.. ..
as soon as the tenant comes back, starts throwing away everything
and starts dirtying the walls of our being again!
Our happiness comes to an end!
And we start over, doing the bad things, without any hope of liberty!
ARE WE ALWAYS GOING TO BE SLAVES OF OUR TENANT?
WHAT CAN WE DO TO EVICT HIM AND BE FREE?
OH! DEAR LORD! CAN YOU HELP US?

We have been faithful and obedient to our tenant whom little by little
has been converted into our “Master”, when we obey him, we become
his slaves, and we always will, unless we have in us the intense desire
to brake these heavy chains !
Lie, Pride, Hate, are some of the chain links that joins us to him!
And when we obey him, we disobey God!
God has always wanted to help us since He sent his Beloved Son
to die on a cross to rescue and give us freedom! To clean our hearts of
so much filth,and begin a new life serving Him instead, but.. ..
Jesus Christ is a Gentleman and as such, He does not enter into a place
That He has not be invited!
We cannot serve two masters said the Bible, because when we serve one,
we give our backs to the other!
When we deny obedience to the tenant, he becomes our enemy!
But God becomes our Friend!
HOW COULD WE INVITE JESUS CHRIST TO COME TO LIVE
INOUR HEARTS IF THE PLACE IS ALREADY OCCUPIED?
Do it!
When we do, Jesus Christ cleans our hearts, of all filth that we have
Gathered during all our life, and gives us weapons to fight against
The enemy, the tenant, and when he realize his end, he uses his “Hook”
and uses as bait, the things we like the most, so we could open the door
back to him, but if we resist his temptations, and we attack him with
the Word of God, he goes away and let us to live in peace!
If you invite Jesus Christ to live in your heart, you ask Him for forgive-
ness for all your sins, you will feel inside of you, the fragrance that
only exist, in Christ’s Love! Give Thanks to God and share His Love!
Dear Jesus:
Thank You for giving your life on a cross for us!
Come into my life! Into my soul! Into my heart! And never leave!
I repent of everything bad I have made and I would like to change!
I BELIEVE IN YOU LORD!
I Believe in your Resurrection an in your Salvation!
I believe in the present of life eternal that you give to your believers!
Come! Come to my life! I would like to be born again!

GOD LOVES YOU! AND WANTS YOU TO BE FREE!
RAISE YOUR ARMS AND OPEN UP YOUR HEART TO HIM!
SMILE! YOU ARE FREE!
PRAISE THE LORD!

"DOES HELL EXIST?"

“Don’t be afraid of those who can kill only your bodies, but can’t touch
your souls! Fear only God that can destroy both, soul and body in hell!”
Mathew 10-28.

“DOES HELL EXIST?”

Does hell exist?
I think so! Otherwise Jesus wouldn’t have mentioned it in the Bible!
I agree with you, but… I ‘m a little confused!
Why did God make something so ugly like that? God is good and I
sincerely believe He won’t send us to such an horrible place, right?
Yes! it is true! But hell was not created specifically for us, but for
the angels that rebel against Him!
These angels, follow the devil who wanted to be like God!
An he is not as ugly as they paint him, but a beautiful one!
An angel of light, however, he was not happy with all that God has
gave him, and he wanted more and more!
He not only wanted to be like God, but he wanted to be Himself!
This upset God and made a lake of fire that never extinguishes to put
The devil and all his fallen angels and also to destroy the souls of all
those who wanted to follow them!
The devil wants to fight against God but God will defeat them!
Just like Jesus Christ won against death, and resurrected to stay alive
and never die again! After the devil’s defeat he will be sent to the lake
of fire that never quenches along with his followers and everyone else
that wanted to go after them!
I’ve got a question:
If the devil had repented, could he have been forgiven by God?
Oh! What a question!
I think the answer is yes! But, The devil is so rebel and proud, that
he believes cannot loose! He thinks he is stronger and will win!
He is defeated beforehand, because:
“By their own pride, people are defeated!”
GOD ALMIGHTY IS UNIQUE AND TRUTHFUL!
THE DEVIL HAS ALWAYS BEEN A LIAR!
That is why God sent his Son, to free us from the devil’s chains!
These chains are SIN! And for many people it is a sweet fruit!
But without a doubt, some day we all will pay our debt to God!
Don’t you think so?
I think God is good and He won’t send anybody to hell!
Look there is something I wanted to tell you:
God does not send people to hell for something bad they did,
but for something good they refuse to do!
something good they refuse to do? I don’t understand!
Yes! Look: Jesus is the door to enter heaven! Everybody has
the chance, but not everybody takes advantage of it!
Only accepting Christ in our lives we could be able to enter!
Why?
Because only by accept Him we could stop producing bad “fruits”
I am going to say it in another way:
We were following the devil ever since we were born, producing
bad fruits, and is not until we decide to stop following him, and
begin to follow Jesus that we could make the change!
We have to renounce from the devil’s army, and join Jesus as
good soldiers and start producing good fruits, or continue to be
producing bad fruits chained to the devil!
I understand!
I think is time to stop and begin a new life next to Jesus!
Jesus: please set me free!
I want to be with you!
Forever!

PRAISE THE LORD!

"HELLO,DO YOU BELIEVE IN GOD?"

“Enter by the narrow gate! Wide is the gate and broad is the way that
leads to destruction! And many prefer it! Mathew 7-13.

“HELLO! DO YOU BELIEVE IN GOD?”

Hello my friend! Where are you going so fast?
Can I make you a question?
I am going for a date! And I am late! What do you want?
In the meantime, a huge amount of people were boarding one of the
many escalators that slowly were going down with us on one of them!
What were you asking me?
Oh! I Just said: Do you believe in God?
Of course I do!
I do believe that God exist! Why?
Look around! I want you to see one thing, these escalators only go
down one level and then, there is a wide and long hall like a big cave,
in which people are pushing up themselves!
Look! Look what I am telling you!
People were smoking, drinking, using drugs, cursing, fighting, lying,
All kinds of people were pushing themselves trying to get there first!
Monosexuals, bisexuals, homosexuals, prostitutes, sex offenders, etc.
Witches, fortunetellers, idol worshipers, people that worship stone,
wood, paintings and any other materials as if they were “gods”
Idols that can not walk, can not listen, can not see, can not love!
They adore all this things instead of worshiping the true God!
All of them were very happy, joyfully were jumping, laughing,
just as if they were not doing anything wrong!
Most of these people, believe that God exist, but they do not stop
they’re wrong doing to thank God for His life! To thank God
for His help, and to ask Him to change the way they live!
If people could be saved just for believing that God exist, the road
To heaven would be so full that people would be struggling to be
able to pass, just like they do right here!
But people do not thank God for His blessings because they are
very busy trying to live a life full of pleasures and material things
living just to please themselves, without caring for anybody else!
Busy people! Just living “the crazy life” “la vida loca” without
thinking on the consequences .. .. ..
Where did you say you were going?
To a date! A love date!
A love date my friend?
Don’t you love your wife?
Yes but, what does this has to do with it?
Everybody does the same thing! Right
The way all things are going, you may be right, but not yet!
This road on which we are walking, is making itself narrower
until it ends in a big trench called the bottomless pit, and on it’s
surface there is a fire that never extinguishes! Did you hear me?
Are you trying to tell me that this is the road to hell?
You got that right! But there is still time to avoid it!
As we were getting closer to the abyss, we could hear people
Screaming very loud before they were pushed into the hole!
I’ve got scared! What can I do! What can I do, tell me please!
You have to comeback from your evil ways! Ask God for
forgiveness, and start a relationship with Him! You have to
believe in Him and when you do, tell Him you love Him!
And that you want to change!
Come on! Come on! Push! Push hard!
You have to return!
I started to push away people trying to open up a space so I could
pass, but the people, that were many, did not want to give me
any chance at all! However, little by little, I was gaining terrain,
until I was able to reach to the electrical escalators!
I am almost there I said! Just above the escalators and Ill be out!
I tried to find one that goes up but they were none!
I’ve got into one of them and started to push like before, but,
the escalators seem to me that they were going faster, I’ve got
very tired, and I said: I can’t! I can’t do it no more!
I t is like swimming against the water stream!
I looked for my friend, and he was not there!
And trembling I looked for a little space on a corner and I’ve
got on my knees and started to pray:
My God! My God I said! I believe in You!
I believe in Your Holy Son You sent to the world to help us!
I need You! Please help me! Get me out of here!
Suddenly, the escalators stopped! And I said: My chance!
And started to squeeze between people and finally got out!
And I realized that just right in front of me, it was a narrow road
full of thorns, and a big cross marking the place!
Next to the cross was a man with a big sign that said:
I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE!
The sign was on the hands of a man that seating on a stone at the
foot of the cross, was weeping!
He had his hands and feet with marks of nails in them, and was
wearing as a hat, a crown of thorns!
He was sadly watching all the people going into the wide road!
I recognize Him immediately and I said:
HE IS THE SAVIOR OF THE WORLD GOD SENT US!
I fell on my knees and told Him: Thank You Lord!
Thank You for saving me!
I would like to begin a new life with You!
I was so excited, that did not realized that they were many people
with signs to advise all from the dangers of the road of perdition!
But nobody seemed to care! Without thinking about it twice,
I’ve got close to a person and told him not to enter! But he did not
listen to me, and continued walking to the wide road.
Then I’ve got back to Christ and told Him: Lord, please:
Grant me one of your “Gifts” so I could be able to talk to people
about your salvation! And He told me: Go on, my son,
you have with you the most precious of my Gifts: LOVE!
Go and share it with all!
Then I got near to another person and I told him:
Hello my friend!
Where are you going in such a hurry?
Can I ask you a question?
Do you believe in God?

I turned my head toward the Christ, He was watching me!
And I saw Him smiling!

PRAISE THE LORD!

God makes the rules, we obey them!
If you have a complaint,
Talk to Him!
He would like to listen your voice!
Tell Him you love Him!
He would love you more!
Ask Him to save you!
And you will be saved!
GOD BLESS YOU ALL!

"AND HE ROSE"

A drunkard was walking on the streets and passed near a church and entered!
As soon as he sat down on the bench, all the people next to him, started to move away from him as fast as they could.
He was watching at the big crucifix with tears in his eyes.
He was thinking:
Oh, how painful should it be to be crucified for so many years!
And with those nails piercing his hands and feet, no wonder He can’t move!
I wouldn’t be able to support so much pain! And on top of that, they made
A crown of thorns and buried them into his head.. .. and started sobbing!
In the mean time, two old ladies in front of him, where whispering:
Look at the priest! Oh my, how handsome he is! And young said the other,
Behind him, two young men where saying: Hey dude: check her out!
Isn’t she cute! Awesome! said the other one, nice miniskirt isn’t it?
The drunkard, continued thinking: I can’t stand it anymore! So many
years past already and nobody has had the guts to bring Him down
from the cross! I think I’ll do it!
He stood up to go to the cross, but the priest started talking:
He died on the cross, the same day they buried Him, and at the third day,
He resurrected!
He came back to life and went back to heaven, and now,He is seating down at the right hand of God His Father!
This crucifix is not really Him, it is only a remembrance, something to
remember what happened more than two thousand years ago! Because....
The Priest continued: HE IS ALIVE!
And He will comeback to judge the world! BE READY!
Oh God! Said the drunkard! Thanks God! He is not suffering anymore!
The two old ladies in front of him, kept talking very quiet:
Say: Do you have change from a dollar? Today they are going to pass
to collect the alimony twice and I have to brake it!
The drunkard stood up, and in an a pray he said:
Dear God:
I thank you very much, for giving me understanding!
I am lost! It is true! But I want to change!
Now I know your Son is not suffering at the cross anymore!
And that makes me happy!
And I also thank you for not making me like these couple of people
that only come to church to waste their time!

GIVE ME LOVE! GIVE STRENGHT!
AND I WILL MAKE YOU A VOW:
IF YOU HELP ME.. .. I WON’T DRINK AGAIN!

PRAISE THE LORD!

"TURN AROUND"

The road to hell is like riding in a vehicle with sunglasses on, so we could avoid looking at the many, signs posted everywhere we go,
warning us of the perils and dangerous things it could happen when we do not obey the law! Slow down! People crossing! Curves ahead!
Do not drive under influence: D.U.I. STOP.
But the dark glasses don’t let us to see them and we keep going!
As we are riding, we could see all kind of things happening on the road:
People getting drunk, prostitution, drugs inviting everybody to join them!
I saw a stop sign coming, I slowed down, and look at the right, then to the
left, nothing was coming, and ran through the red light.
I was laughing because I violated the law, but who cares, nobody saw me!
Suddenly before I stopped laughing, a black and white car with its lights
turning, was right behind me and asked me to stop!
A policeman came down, and asked me for car insurance and license,
And he said: Why did you run through the red light?
How did you see me? Nobody was around!
It was a message from above said the policeman!
Did God tell you?
No! It was not God!
It was a police car above the bridge checking for persons like you!
I am sorry I said! I won’t do it again!
O. K. I am going to let you go this time, but, keep your promise!
Yes Sir! I will!
The police got into his car and left, and I step in the gas pedal and went
back to the road, at a speed faster than the limit and crossing red lights!
What am I doing? The policeman was helping me to prevent accidents!
For my stupidity I could have killed someone!
I took my sunglasses off, and I started to see a lot of signs, some said:
Stop! Wrong way! Road of perdition! Turn around!
I’ve got scared and made a full turn, everything changed!
The wide road became narrow and full of holes and thorns,
But I did not care! Everything looked nice to me! No lights! No signs!
No hurry! Just one little sign: Do not turn back!
I saw a car coming toward me at full speed, I had to move fast to let
him pass, right behind him three police cars were chasing him,
and then I heard the screeching sound of tires and a crash!
I did not turn my head, and kept going, then, I saw an ambulance
coming ,and a little bit after very slow, a coroner’s car!
Oh My God I said! It could’ve been me!
I stepped down from the car, got some cardboard and made signs:
Slow down! Life is precious! God loves you! Turn around!
God is waiting for you!

"THE THREE LEGGED TABLE"

We were going to have a party and we needed a table to put all the
food and drinks we were going to consume.
We found one! But, it had a broken foot!
We did not have time to repair it, and it was easy for us to
leaned it against the wall to have support! It feels strong!
And we started to put everything on the table!
Don’t worry! It will be fine!
The party started, and somebody that did not know about the table,
tried to put it at the center of the room, and then, Surprise! Surprise!
Everything ended all over the floor!
Sometimes, we feel like we cannot support all the weight we have on
our shoulders, tired and fatigued, we leaned against the wall of drugs,
but after the effect ceases, we feel like a three legged table!
We feel like a ladder with a broken foot, that even resting on a big
wall, it will fall when somebody tries to use it!
But we did not go to God for help, once more, we went back to the
dangerous effect that causes alcohol and drugs! And we feel lost!
Jesus Christ offers us his arms wide open to receive us when tired
exhausted and in need for a place to rest, we could go to Him!
He will take good care of us! Mathew 11-26 says:
Come to me if you are tired, says Jesus, I will make you rest!
If we do, we will be strong to reject harmful things that hurt us!
We will feel happy!
We will be free! We will feel secure!
As when we were little, and rested on our mother’s bosom!
You can do it!
But if you think you cannot do it alone,
Get close to Jesus!
He will help you, and.. ..
You will never stumble and feel again,
like a three legged table!

Praise the Lord!

"HOW FAR AWAY FROM US IS GOD?"

Some people think that God is in heaven millions of light years
away from us! Others, that He is everywhere!
Many, that He is in churches, a few yards, or miles, of distance!
While just a few, think He is close! Very close from us!
The farthest we think God is, the bigger the space between Him and us,
and the greater the opportunity SIN has to interfere between God and us!
Sin is like smoke, when is thin is colorless, but as it becomes thicker
and dense, it acts like a heavy curtain that does not let us to see, what’s
ahead of us in our path to glory!
Christ died on a cross for us and went to heaven to be with his Father, but,He did not abandon us to our own luck, He sent his Holy Spirit to help us and to protect us from this sinful world!
But even when we accept Christ in our lives, SIN is so thin, that when we
embrace ourselves to a cross with all our strength, SIN, will stay between!
Our vision starts diminishing, and we begin to deviate from God’s path,
into perdition!
How far away is really God from us?
HE IS AS FAR OR CLOSE TO US, AS WE PERMIT HIM TO BE!
Jesus Christ has his heart always open for us!
Stop fighting alone against the world!
God with you, is Success, is Victory!
You already are inside his heart!
And He is knocking at the doors of yours!
Open it up and let Him in!
Having God inside of you, it does not matter how thin SIN could be,
CANNOT STAY ANYMORE BETWEEN GOD AND YOU!
The Spirit of Christ will be your company! He will be your Guide!
A new life has flourished inside of you! USE IT!
USE IT TO LOVE PEOPLE AS YOU LOVE YOURSELF!
And when somebody asks you: How far away is God?
You will answer them: HE IS CLOSE! VERY CLOSE!
HE IS IN MY HEART! BLESSED BE FOREVER!

PRAISE THE LORD!

"YESTERDAY,TODAY AND FOREVER"

The future is like an oven in which we cook the dough
that with our own efforts, prepared.

The colors and flavors enhance,
when the dough is fully cooked.

Everybody is ready to receive a better future!
But nobody is quite ready to begin preparing their dough!

Time passes, the oven door opens, and we get frustrated
When we found something different as expected!
We are the dough!

The future is like a time machine!
If yesterday we loaded it up with trash,
now, out of nowhere, right in front of our eyes.. .
Trash reappears!

The rule is clear and simple;
We will always harvest.. what we sown!
If we haven’t sown anything good.. ..
Nothing good we are going to harvest!

If you want to enjoy a good tomorrow..
You have to prepare it today!
Sow good seeds today!
Good fruits you will harvest!


Don’t let the world shape your dough!
Christ today, will bring heaven for you tomorrow!
He was yesterday! He is today!
And He will be forever!

PRAISE THE LORD!

"I AM THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD"

A man watching how they were lighting up candles in a church, to be able
to see the objects they were worshiping, got an idea!
He said: If I could build a candle, a gigantic candle, God will listen to me! He will forgive my sins, and I could go to heaven!
He was a rich man, and contracted people to make his dream come true!
He told them to put inside the candle, the biggest laser they could get!
A laser that could reach all the way to heaven!
When the structure was finally complete, he invited all his friends for the
opening ceremony, and bought a lot of wine, food, music, and anything
they could think of for their entertainment and enjoyment.
He was very happy!
This light he said: It’s going to shine in heaven were God is!
At night, he had a dream were God was telling him:
I appreciate your good intentions, but.. ..
I do not need that light, because, I AM THE LIGHT!
AND THERE IS NO DARKNESS IN HEAVEN!
Darkness is in the world!
That is why I sent my beloved Son to give them Light!
But it looks like they prefer to live in darkness!
Far away from His Light!
My Son’s Light are, His Life, His Death and His Resurrection
to save the world from sin, and receive eternal life!
His Light is His Testament, so the people could learn and fill up
themselves with it ,and serve as carriers of Light to enlighten
other people that are walking in darkness!
You should have helped the poor and hungry instead of spending so
much money in that thing! To me, the light you built, is the same as
the other candles in the churches, not to worship me!
The Light I am delighted with, is the Light of my Son shinning on the
faces of people that get filled with Him!
Wake up! Repent! Turn your back to sin, so I could see your face!
Get close to my Son to obtain forgiveness!
Read His Good News about salvation and talk everybody about Him!
He is my Word, and His Word is Light! Get filled with it and light up
The whole world! Tell me you love me! But better yet,
show it to me, loving people thoroughly!
The man jumped from his bed trembling, he ran to an old book shelve
he had in which a dusty old Bible was forgotten! He carefully dusted
it out, and with tears in his eyes started to read:
In the beginning God created the heaven’s and the earth.
And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the
face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the
waters, and God said: Let it be light; and there was light! Genesis 1-1.

"IS MAN KING OF THE UNIVERSE?"

Is man the king of the Universe?
No! He is not!
Why?
Because The Universe already has a King: Its Creator: God Almighty!
Then, could man be the king of earth?
Let me tell you something:
When God created the world, He crowned man as king, He gave him authority
to rule over it, to name the animals of the air, land and seas, and to eat from all the fruits except from the fruits of the tree of good and evil!
Man disobeyed and ate from that fruit and SIN came to this world making man
slaves of SIN, The devil practically removed from him the crown and crowned
himself as king of the world! God kicked man from paradise and punished them to work to pay for what he eats!
Just from a simple fruit?
No! It is not just the fruit, it is disobedience to God! And that means death!God created man to be able to live forever, but because of SIN, death came in!
That means that man brought death to himself! Eternal doom!
That is why Jesus came to this world, to end with the works of the devil and rescue man from slavery of sin, and recover the crown for God!
That sounds interesting! Is that a fairy tale? Or you just made it up?
No my friend! That is the truth! Read the Bible, find the truth you will be free!
I believe it! But, why are you laughing about?
Oh, I was just thinking something that made laugh and at the same time, makes me feel sad, very sad!
Why?
Well I was thinking of the wonderful work the scientists are doing, devoting their lives trying to find other planets that could support life, planets with water and air, those,are not going to be very easy to find!
Why? There are so many millions of them, that it may be one like our earth!
Yes! It is possible, but, it’s going to take time, a lot of time.
That is why I was laughing, because while the scientists are trying to find another“Earth” for man kind, we don’t realize we are standing on the planet we are looking for, and we are destroying it! We have air everywhere we go, we have water right at our finger tips, we have oceans full of life to provide us food!
We may not be aware of it but, we are destroying our blue planet!
We are thinning the ozone layer that protects us from the danger of the
ultraviolet and cosmic rays because of so much refrigeration!
We are polluting the air we breath because of so many vehicles that put carbon byproduct gases that mixed with our air makes it poisonous, we are polluting our seas with dangerous chemicals and radioactive materials that contaminates the marine fauna and then we ate them and get sick!
But we all are guilty! You may be riding your bike to save some gas, but as soon as you get home turn on your air conditioning full blast, fridge, television etc.
Some people probably would say: Thanks God for electricity! It is clean!

To obtain electricity is not as simple as it looks, just turn a generator and “Voila” There it is!
Electricity is withdrawn from the magnetic field of the earth, and honestly,I would like to know if by withdrawing too much of it, could bring an unbalance in it that could affect our earth some how!
Anyway, in case that, we could be able to find another planet similar to earth,is not going to be earth, and we may not be able to live in it!
Why?
Because according to the Bible, God made the world first, and then made man! He did not made man first and then the world!
I don’t get it! What is your point?
God made man from earth, to fit into the environment that already existed!
Water is a lot closer to us than any planet and we cannot live in it unless we adapt ourselves with some equipment to provide us the “Air” we breath.
My point is that we could do something to help our planet, for the benefit of man kind, our children and children’s children! And so on!
We could change something if we really want to!
We just need a little responsibility that is all!
Is it not something to laugh about? That while they are searching for
other worlds for us to live in, there are a lot of people trying to end their lives puffing smoke into their lungs, drugs into their blood, pornography into their brains, SIN into their souls! That makes me sad! And.. .. .. I am not laughing anymore!
It is very serious!
SIN is disobedience to God!
Disobedience of man’s Law, brings punishment by the Law!
Disobedience to God’s Law brings God’s punishment!
That is called: The wrath of God!
Jesus came to save us from the wrath of God when He (God) Decide to make
us pay for our sins, but Jesus Christ paid on the cross for the penalty that sin brings, so God could forgive us through Him!
Of course! When we believe Christ could save us!
Do you believe in Him?
If you do! Tell Him you love Him and that you need his help!
If you are sincere, You will be saved!

READ THE BIBLE, PRAISE THE LORD!

GOD BLESS YOU!

THE DEVILS AND THE ANGELS"

The devils and the angels are two teams in the “game” called:
“Life or death forever” They are playing against each other furiously because the prize is a great one: YOURSELF!
We have been playing with the devil’s team longer that we can remember, we
practically were born with the team because the sin of Adam and Eve!
We were born in sin, and we will keep living in sin because we do not know
a better way!
Both teams want you t o play with them because they know you are the “star”
Of the game, and which ever team you choose, they will the winner!
The after the game party, will be at the place which the team comes from!
And they can’t wait to finish with your game to start celebrating their victory!
The Angel’s team tells us the truth so we could join them and make them the
Winners! While the Devil’s team, tells a lot of lies, offering us excitement, sex,wealth and artificial happiness to make us to stay in their team.
They are not worried because they know we cannot leave them unless we pay
our debt in full, and we just can’t! What are we going to do?
The game lasts all our life, but while we are still alive, we have the chance to be hired for the other team: “THE ANGELS”
We have on our debt a long list of bad things we done to hurt people, and the amount of our bill is enormous, so we have to remain slaves of this team forever!
Unless God has pity on us, and helps us! God: will you please?
Yes! God already sent help for you! Don’t worry!
He is willing and able to help you! He had so much pity and mercy for you, me, and all the people of the world, that He sent His only Son to sacrifice himself to save us! He wants to pay your debt in full to make you free!
Your debt are offenses, to God and nobody can remove them from us, and the
penalty is death! Only one man can remove them and his name is Jesus Christ!
He died on the cross for you! Just to save you!
With Him: Your debt is paid off! Free and clear!
He paid it to rescue from the devils team, o you could play in the Angel’s team!
The manager’s name of the Angel’s team is Jesus and He is waiting for you!
What do I have to do to accept Him?
Very simple: Just say it! He died for us, and resurrected to give us life Eternal!
ASK HIM TO SAVE YOU AND YOU WILL BE FREE! But remember.. ..
We still are in the game! The game ends if you choose the Angels, or.. ..
YOU HAVE TO CHOOSE! C’MON, IS GETTING LATE!
YOU ARE CHOOSING DEATH IF YOU DON’T CHOOSE THE ANGELS!
SAY IT MY FRIEND! SAY IT! WE ARE LOOSING! YOU WILL BE NEXT!
DEAR GOD: PLEASE SAVE ME! I NEED YOU! IN JESUS NAME I PRAY!
THANK YOU JESUS! FOR DYING ON THE CROSS FOR ME!
THANKS TO YOU.. I AM SAVED AND FREE!

"THE BIBLE THE WORD OF GOD"

The Bible is the Light that floods our being,
Vanishes darkness in our inner depths
Comforts us, and warms up our soul.

We cannot swallow it to have it in us,
But we can slowly let it pass, through our eyes
And store it in our memory.

Allowing its music to vibrate in our ears
We illuminate our body, our mind and soul
And happiness starts bursting in our heart!

If we put together all we have learned
We could say nice things to suffering people
To alleviate the pain, from their heavy laden.

And at the same time,
We invite them to shine with the Bible, all their lives
Beginning a new one, closer to God!

With the Word of God
We light up our bodies, and obtain
life eternal for our souls.

The Word of God is a gift!
A delight for our sight!
The Word of God is Christ!

Blessed will be forever!

"TO THE OTHER SIDE"

God loves to multiply, although, sometimes He has to divide, I think
He likes to add, more than to subtract.
What in the world are you talking about?
Yes! Look: From a man and a woman, He made a huge amount of people!
He multiplied them to fill the world! From a chaotic mass in space, He made
suns, planets, and everything above and below and gave them the ability to
multiply themselves creating a vast Cosmos! How incredible is our God!
He created light and divided the dense darkness, giving place to nights and days.
He gathered the waters in one place and let the dry land appear.
He called the dry land Earth, and the gathering waters Seas. (Genesis)
He multiplied the inhabitants of Earth, Firmament and Seas.
But because of Adam and Eve’s sin, He separated, divided, put a great barrier
between Him and the human being!
Because the Saint and the sinner cannot live together! He removed them from
paradise so they cannot touch the tree of life and live forever!
Adam and Eve started a new life full of sorrow, pain, and work, and from then
on, nobody could reach God ! Man has been separated from God because of sin!
God divided:
Love from hate! Truth from lie! Life from death!
Time passed, and one day God chose, some people and made them His own!
And in order to sanctify them, He gave them a Law! His Law!
But nobody could really keep them all, and became violators of God’s Law!
If the people living closer to God could not jump over the great barrier of the Law
to reach God, much less the rest of the world who were further apart from Him!
But God with His great Wisdom, Mercy and Love, already had a plan of Salvation
for the whole world, ending with this, the enmity with Him trough the Sacrifice
of His holy Son : Jesus the Christ the only Way to get to the Father! John 14-6.
He, Christ, has the power to remove sin from our shoulders!
Sin is a heavy load that won’t let us to reach God!
Jesus Christ is the only Mediator between God and people! Timothy 2-5.
God hates to see us with anxieties, fear, sadness and pain because of our lies,
sin and crooked ways, He would like to see us instead, with peace, love, tranquility,
happiness! Walking in righteous ways loving His Son!
With Christ, we could cross to the “other side” where God is!
God would like to “add” us to His list, and multiply His sons, instead of subtracting
or dividing the people He loves!
Get close to Him! Read the Bible!
And God Bless You!

"IN GOD HANDS"

Tired of so much sin, we cry aloud to God for forgiveness,
He sends us to his Son in whom He deposited the power to remove it all,
when we believe in him, and put all our faith at His feet!
“Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God” Romans 10-17.
Jesus takes our faith and through it.. .. He forgives us!
And on top of it, He puts his Spirit in us to end once and for all with all the
bad “programs” that had inflicted in us so much pain!
He fills us up with “Virtues” Programs with Values, programs that help us
to understand the true meaning of Life!
He teaches us that Charity is Love, and there is no Love without Charity!
Love is for God and Charity is to Love people!
He fills our heart with Love, and shows us how to increase it loving others!
He removes HATE and fills the emptiness with LOVE!
He removes FEAR and gives us COURAGE!
He removes PRIDE and turns it into HUMBLENESS!
He removes ANXIETY, DEPRESSION, SADNESS, and in it’s place,
He fills us up with PATIENCE, JOY and PEACE!
He exchanges BITTERNESS and REVENGE, for FORGIVENESS!
He pulls us out from the cold arms of DEATH, and gives us LIFE!
With Love, our soul does not have to choose between Good and evil
Because, THERE IS NO EVIL IN LOVE!
Love does not hurt anyone!
Our soul does not have to be judged for God, because it has been forgiven!
The bad “programs” we had before, do not exist anymore!
God eliminated them from us completely! HE CHANGED US!
We have nothing to fear!
GOD IS POWER!
Now we belong to Him! We belong to God! We belong to Love and we should
share His Love with everybody specially those who are walking in darkness
tying to find with the touch of their hands.. The exit door!
No more fear! No more hate, bitterness or revenge! Only LOVE!
Pray with all your soul!
No more quick sands!
We are not alone!
We are in God hands!

PRAISE THE LORD!

"FORGIVE ME BUT I CAN NOT FORGIVE YOU"

“FORGIVE ME, BUT I CAN NOT FORGIVE YOU”

Forgive me, but I cannot forgive you!
Why?
Because I am not God! And if you want forgiveness, go to Him!
Look my friend: All of us can forgive!
Further more: ALL OF US MUST FORGIVE.. ..
IF WE WANT TO BE FORGIVEN BY GOD!
Have you ever read the Bible?
No! To tell you the truth no! I haven’t!
But, you already have read or listen the Lord’s Prayer don’t you?
Yes, of course I have! That is my favorite prayer, and I say it everyday!
Is that true?
Yes it is!
Well, then you will remember the part in which says:
“AND FORGIVE MY TRESPASSES AS I FORGIVE THE ONES THAT
TRESPASSES UNTO US”
As you see, every time we are praying this prayer, we are telling God:
FORGIVE ME JUST THE SAME WAY I FORGIVE!
That means that if we do not want to forgive, we are not going to be forgiven!
Can you see that?
Yes! But, you don’t have any idea what they have done to me!
Then why you don’t pray: FORGIVE ME EVEN WHEN I REFUSE TO FORGIVE?
Because it would not be right!
What is it right then?
TO FORGIVE!
THEN, DO IT!
Every night before we go to bed we should recall all the events during the day and
forgive everybody that willingly or not they offended us! And then ask God to
forgive us for offending others! That way we are going to have a good sleep!
If we do not forgive, we will keep all resentment and hate in us that will bring us
a life full of sorrows, sadness, pain and nightmares!
But if we forgive, we will begin a new day helping others instead of hurting them!
We will have a clean page in our life full of happiness peace and love!
Some people believe that apologizing is a sign of weakness and they don’t do it!
I think that apologizing is a sign of strength, confidence and security in one self!
Time passes by and people get old and die without ever forgive and being forgiven!
Closing to them, the door of opportunity for friendship once again!

FATHER, FORGIVE US!
TEACH US TO FORGIVE AND FORGET AS YOU DO!
JESUS CHRIST YOUR SON IS OUR FORGIVENESS,
WHEN WE BELIEVE IN HIM AND ACCEPT HIM AS OUR LORD AND SAVIOR!
THANK YOU LORD!

"CHAINED"

“Who will make me free from this mortal sin nature?
Thanks God it’s been done by Jesus Christ! He has set me free!” Rom. 7-24.

“CHAINED”

I found myself in a jail paying for a life sentence! The place is dark, it is dirty,
and in order to increase my sufferings, I am bounded to a long and heavy chain.
I tried to escape climbing up the tall wall, but I slipped and hit the hard floor!
What can I do?
Alone and without hope of a near day of freedom!
Suddenly, in the neighbor cell, it was a newcomer!
Who are you? I asked him!
What are you doing?
The same as you he answered, to pay for my sentence!
Are you for life also?
Yes! he said but I.. .. I am going to find the way out!
Are you kidding me? I said!
There is no way out in this prison!
Yes! There is, he answered!
Oh, yeah? I said! Do you know a black smith to cut from us these chains?
No, he replied but they told me that it could set us free, the Son of a carpenter!
A carpenter’s Son?, I said, I don’t understand!
Yes! Look:
His name is Jesus!
And in order to give us freedom He gave his life on a cross to pay for all our sins.
If we believe in him, even that we still be here bound to these chains, we will be
happier, and when we complete in the world our condemn, our souls will be
good and healthy and in heaven forever we will live!
The liberty of our souls will bring us peace and calm, and even that our bodies
In the jail of the world remain secluded, deep inside of us, we will be free!
Many people live outside with their souls bound to sin preparing for themselves
to dwell in hell forever!
But with Jesus help, and thanks to his mercy.. ..
For all eternity.. ..
We will be free!

Glory to God!

"COME INTO MY HEART"

We could be sad, we could get angry or mad!
We could get down and cry,
or shout with all our strength up high,
Saying: Why, my God: WHY?

The truth gives us stress!
We are sinners! We are a mess!
We need compassion to cure our illness!
We need Love, we need forgiveness!

Be smart!
Open your heart to Christ!

He is not far! He is close!
If you don’t know what to do.. .. .
Tell Him you love Him!
He will come to live within you!

Just say:
Jesus, forgive me!
Come into my heart
Don’t you live me ever!

You will be saved!
You will be free!
You will live forever!

Thank you Jesus!

"KEEP GOING"

“But they wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run,
and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint” Isaiah 40-31.

“KEEP GOING”
To be Christian is fun,
It is to praise and not to damn,
It is to smile, and not to frown
It is to go up, not down!
It is to give, not to steal!
It is to be true, not fake!
It is to love, not to hate!
It is to be honest and have Faith!
It is to be with hope and joy!
It is to construct, not to destroy!
It is to be humble, to stand for God!
Not to stumble!
It is to grow up wings!
Not to cripple!
It is to tell the truth, not to lie!
It is to keep going without faint!
It is to walk with God within.. .. ..
And then, alone with Him..
To fly!

Jose Salazar
S. de C.

To be a Christian is to invite Christ to live in your heart!
If you haven’t done it, Do it!
God will love you more!

"TEETER TOTTER"

Life is like a tether totter in which hate rock us up and down, up and down as it pleases through our lives and with so much tottering we feel dizzy, we feel anxious, we feel tired and depressed, we need to rest a little, but we refuse to stop hating, and with that much practice, we became masters in the ugly sin of HATE!
This causes a severe insecurity in us, we feel sad, we feel lonesome and some times, we may have had insane thoughts thinking in ending our story trying to take something that does not belong to us: Our lives!
We have always thought that we have the absolute ownership of our lives!
We say: IT IS MY LIFE! And I can do what ever I like to do with it!
IT IS MINE!
But that it is not true! Life is like a candle that God made and light it up for us to Illuminate other people lives, but IF WE ARE FULL OF HATE, we can only irradiate a “Hate light” that does not help anyone!
This “candle” made and lighted by God, gives Him and only Him the right to blow it out, whenever He pleases because it is His and not ours!
This unique opportunity of life in us, should be used to give light to others, not to quench other people lives, but to revive them, and put them at God’s service.
Oh Lord! What can I do? Is it something you can do to help me?
Magic words! Of course He can!
How many times have we received His help, but as soon as we overcome the problem we go back to the “See Saw” in which HATE on the other end of the board, continues rocking us without mercy, until we sincerely chose to jump off the tether totter and run into the warm and loving care arms of God and decide once and for all, to remain in them!
God is Love! And He wants to share His Love in us with others!
In His arms are not ups and downs!
Our faith in Him, keep us secure and invites us to know Him more trough His Word!
Our faith is like the anchor that keeps the ship in the dock in which we live secure and able to convert all the hate we have into LOVE for people!
Our anxieties will turn into patience, our insecurities, fears, depression, sadness,will change into peace, tranquility, humbleness, courage, happiness!
God practically, yank us out from the tether totter, and deposit us on firm grounds,beginning a new life with Him, that will continue forever!
But.. .. What if we do all that you say and still continue suffering?
Well, the whole world is suffering,we were born to suffer,but it's better to suffer doing good, than to suffer doing evil! Big and small, handsome and ugly, rich and poor from all races and colors, we all, suffer and have pain, but all these sufferings are much less when we LOVE!
Even God in the flesh, suffered until death to give us His Love!
Our life belongs to Him and to Him only!
If you put your lofe at the feet of Christ, along with your faith, you could say good bye to the tether totter!
And begin a new life thanks to Jesus Christ!
Blessed Be forever!

"JUST TO THINK IS NOT ENOUGH"

And God thought: Let there be light, and there was light!
Wait! It is not like that!
No? Tell me then how should it be!
And God said: Let there be light and there was light!
True! You are paying attention! I like that!
The bible says: ASK and it shall be given to you!
SEEK and you will find!
KNOCK and shall be open to you! Mathew 7-7.
It is not just to think about it! It needs to be said, and done!
Because salvation that is obtained trusting Christ that is the one we preach,
It is so close to us as our hearts and our mouth is! And if with your own lips
You confess that Jesus is the Lord; and you believe it in your heart that God
Raised Him from the dead, you will be saved! Because believing in the heart
Is for justice! But with our mouth we confess for salvation! Romans 10-9.
That means that it is not only to think that God exists, or just to think we
want Him to help us! It is not just to think that we love Him and we want to
accept Him in our lives, but.. .. ..
WE HAVE TO SAY IT!
To read in silence as you probably are doing, is PASSIVE!
And in order to surrender ourselves to Christ, we need: ACTION!
For God sake! What are you waiting for?
Stop thinking!
OPEN YOUR MOUTH AND SAY IT! God is listening to you!
Lord Jesus:
I believe in you!
I know you die on a cross to save me!
And You were risen to give me eternal life!
Do with me, what ever You have planned for me to do!
I repent from all my sins!
And I accept you!
I accept You as my Lord and Savior!
Blessed You will be forever!

PRAISE THE LORD!

"THE POPPET"

Head down in the corner of an old closet, I found myself sad, depressed, and lonely without anybody that remembers me and wishes to give me, a little bit of love.

The only thing I have is my owner, a kid who is full of hate and bitterness!

When he comes to see me, it’s just to pick me up and stamp me on the wall with all his strength, or to let me submerged into the tub and later, he holds me by my strings and drag me all over the house!

He puts me to fight with other toys and then later, he makes me to pull their heads apart! He makes me do things I don’t want to do!

How I would like to repair the broken toys, to put their heads back and mend their arms and legs so they can walk again and smile!

Fix the broken nose of the little clown that does not stop crying!
Or to glue back in place the broken leg of the horse I love so much!

But with these strings my owner is always pulling, I will never be able to repair them!
The only thing I can do is to wait until one day when he gets mad, take me apart and throw me into the trash barrel!

Who could be like the human being, that always have the privilege to choose!
Their God died on a cross to save them, when tired of living in sin……
They want to change!

All that accept Him in their hearts, receive from Him their liberty from sin,they begin a new life and the promise of a life eternal with Him!
He cuts their strings that join them to sin, and prepare them to serve God and their fellow men.

I cannot understand that after being set to freedom, they are some of them that want to return to sin and by themselves, put back their strings on them!
I wonder if could be someone that can talk to this kid about Jesus Christ,
otherwise, when he grows up, what he does to me, to others he would like to do!

If nobody teaches him, how is he going to learn?

Suddenly, I saw the kid coming toward me with a bible in his arms and very
kindly he picked me up and hug me!
I cannot believe it I said! If by myself I hadn’t seen it!
This is a miracle!
The kid was reading, The Good News of Christ!
Praise the Lord!

"THE TRUE VALUE OF THINGS"

acknowledgment of the mystery of God, and the Father, and of Christ
in whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. Colossians. 2-2.

“THE TRUE VALUE OF THINGS”

I am poor, but I have always wanted to be rich to have all things money can buy!
To get all things I always wanted, to stop complaining about life!
If I were a millionaire, I could have a new car every day, I could dress with the
best cloths and have from life many, many pleasures.. .. Love, fame, fortune .. ..
and thinking about all these things.. ..
I fell into a very deep sleep .. ..
I found myself into a golden mine surrounded with a great treasure!
Pearls, diamonds, and of course, gold! Lots of gold!
Nuggets the size of an apple! It’s value: A fortune!
I passed all day admiring on my hands these precious metals and jewels and
suddenly I heard a growling noise! It was my empty stomach starving to death!
I don’t understand I said!
Being submerged in such richness and having nothing to eat?
If I could be able to convert this gold into a piece of bread or fruit, I will stop
thinking in richness any more!
The more I dig the ground for food, the more jewels and gold come out!
And I started to think: It does not worth at all to care so much wealth!
Without food, riches has no value!
If I don’t find something to eat, in this cave, I will surely die!
Gold increases SIN, Malice, and Covetousness!
Food enjoys our souls nourishes our bodies and brings us calm!
Why do I need to be so rich, and be able to buy the whole world,
if I can not even eat what I want?
Gold, fame, and fortune, transports us to the moon!
Love, Charity God made for us will take us to paradise!
Gold has not any attraction for me anymore!
I went on my knees and started claiming to God for help!
Lord I said and started sobbing! Give us our daily bread!
And forgive our trespasses and .. . I don’t want any gold, I need food!
Life is departing from me!
Suddenly I heard a sweet voice that said: Wake up! Wake up love! Food is ready!
It was my wife! I stood up as fast as I could I gave her a kiss, and began to eat!
Greater treasures with God we have in our very homes,
For riches, fame and money I stopped to be mean!
Thank You Lord!
It was only a dream!

"THE SLAVE"

“AND THERE IS JOY IN HEAVEN WHEN A SINNER REPENTS”
Luke 15-9
“THE SLAVE”

A slave of sin, tired of his evil ways,
With tears in his eyes was asking God, to have Mercy on him!

Weeping and sobbing he was praying, to see if God from heavens
Forgive him from all his sins.

And God from heaven told him:
That is why, I sent to the world my Son!

He is of the world the Light!
And in order to forgive you, on a cross He gave his life!
And when at the third day He resurrected in the cave,
Obtained for all that believe in Him
Life Eternal!

With his blood bought your freedom!
If you obey Him, you will be able to walk away from sin!

After you accept Christ in you life,
You will not be bonded to sin, you will be truly free!

If walking with sin you had to sin,
When you walk along with Love
You have to love!

If because of all your sins, you feel ashamed,
When you receive Christ in your heart,
You will be forgiven and born again!

When you welcome Love in your heart!
Hate will flee out of your sight!
And you will start living a new life
Loving people!

The forgiven heart, a great happiness feels inside!
The little flame of love bursts into a blessing fire!
And there is joy!

There is joy in heaven when a sinner repents!
GLORY TO GOD!

"THE BIBLE MEDICINE FOR THE SOUL"

The world is sick from a terminal illness called SIN!
Somebody recommended me a very famous Doctor that can cure us all!
He could save us from this terrible sickness!
Without thinking about it twice, I rushed to Him and fell on my knees,
begging Him to cure me!
He had Mercy on me and said: Come closer! And He asked me a question:
Do you really want to get cured?
Yes Sir I said, I do!
He took my faith on Him and use it to remove the virus that was causing
all the trouble, He gave me a prescription and said:
Well, you are cured! Now you have to be careful not to catch the“virus”again
and to prevent it, I am going to give you a prescription: To read a book!
A book? I said!
Yes! a book! But this book is special, it will teach you all you need to know
so you don’t get sick again! It is just like a “bottle” of medicine you need to
take everyday for the rest of your life, so you could be able to crush SIN,
and prevent it from sprouting again! Understand?
Yes Doctor! Thank You! I will read it everyday for as long as I live!
What is the name of that book?
Its name is The Word of God! Many call it: The Bible!
It is a book of Love! And it will awake the love still is dormant in you!
Tell the pharmacist, I mean the librarian, to give you a book easy to
understand, if this book were a bottle of pills, you must have to take them
all throughout your live, so the virus of sin could be controlled and die!
I thanked Him kindly and left, by after a little while, I came back and said:
Doctor please: Cure me! Get rid of this illness that is killing me again!
What do you mean? Are you taking the prescription daily as I indicated?
Yes! Yes! I said! Daily!
The Doctor knew I was lying and said: THEN, DOUBLE THE DOSE!
SIN IS HATE! AND HATE NEEDS TO BE REMOVED WITH LOVE!
And there is no bigger Love, than the one God showed us when He sent
His beloved Son, to die for us to save us!
Our faith on Him increases when we read the Bible!
Jesus Christ is The Word! And The Bible is His Word!
Look for Him! He is waiting for you!
Yes! For You! Don’t you want to be cured? Don’t you want to be saved?
Are you taking your prescription daily? Or just started and put it aside
as many of us called Christians, but we do not want to obey the Lord?
The Bible, “Medicine for the souls” of all people they want to get cured!
And at the same time get closer to God to obtain Salvation!
Read it!
Give Glory to God!

"HOW WONDERFUL IS TO TRUST CHRIST"

Part of the world we are, and all of us are sinners!
I thank God with all my soul, that to cure our bad behavior,
He sent his beloved Son,
Our Lord! Our God, and Savior!

He lived, suffered and died, to forgive our trespasses,
To give us eternal life, to put end to our sorrows!
To all races, of all colors!

Even I know that sinners deserve not to be saved,
I deposited under his feet my love, my confidence, my faith!
And when the waters are high, I ask him for a big favor.. ..
Don’t let me drown Jesus! My Lord and my precious Savior!

We could have cataclysms,
It could shake violently the earth,
We may have hurricanes or overflowing the sea,
My confidence in Jesus, always going to be with me!

It could change my luck,
Death could be lurking around,
But my trust in thee,
Will never abandon me!

Love is faith!
Doubt is the end of the rope,
Faith is confidence!
Doubt the end of all hope!

Listen to what He said:
I will be with you until the end!
He will never live us alone!
He is our Beloved Friend!

If you have days cloudy and dark,
Don’t let yourself to come apart!
When your faith is in Christ.. ..
He will shine inside your heart!

PRAISE THE LORD!

"HARDENED HEART"

Lord: Why are you insisting in knocking on the hardened heart,
of somebody that does not respond?
Somebody full of hate and sinful?

Why did you put your eyes on him?

Can’t you see he is faking?
Always involve in hating?
And honor the material things of this world?

Spiritual things he said are not for him!
He cares only for pleasure, money and fame!
He loves to disobey your commandments!
Why do you waste your time on him?

You sacrifice yourself to save us! It is true!
But, you are always knocking at his door and never answer!
You are always calling him and never listen!
He loves to be alone in his own world, that enjoy your company!

I cannot understand!

Prideful, arrogant, and egoist,
he may think he is a saint but is a nobody!
He does not even remember you for a split second!

Forget all about him!

Having so many valuable people in the world
that can respond to your Word!
That when you call them, they listen!
That when you knock they will open!

But this man cares for nobody!
He is interested in fame and money!
He does not even listen to a bell!
Let him go straight to hell!

Son: Please! Calm down! Stop!

Come and open up your ears!
I don’t want you to stumble!
You have to be friendly and humble!
Put your pride aside!

All you said, with the wind it’s gone!
The hardened heart you are talking about.. ..
It’s your own!

Open it up! And let me in!

Praise the Lord!

"GLASSES OF LOVE"

God is Love! The contrary of Love is Hate!
Hate acts as a pair of sunglasses so dark and distorted that won’t let us see
the true value of people!
Love is exactly the opposite, its lenses are so clear and perfectly polished
that not only allow us to see people values, but also show us what they hide in
the deepest part of their hearts and we could praise and share their virtues!

Everybody sees the world in a different manner!
We don’t see it as it is, but as we are!
They are a lot of bad people in the world! It is true,
But they are a lot of good people also!
The Bible is a pair of glasses of love so we could see people as they really are!
We see it according to the quantity of sin we have inside of us!
The more sin we have in us, the darker and distorted we see it!
The lesser the sin, the bigger the virtue!
The bigger the virtue, the clearer we see! Understand?
That is why we need to change!
God changes our heart to love people!
Come on! Get closer to Him!
I am going to start reading to you this wonderful book of love so you could
consider to stop hating and start loving as God demands!
God is Love, and the Bible is his Book!
Remove from you all that hate you carry inside of you.. ..
And fill it up with Love!
Seat down and listen:
For God so love the world, that He gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever
believeth in Him, should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3-16.

And Jesus told them: It is written that the Christ should suffer, and rise from
the dead the third day, and repentance and forgiveness of sins should be preached
in his name, among all nations beginning at Jerusalem. Luke 24-46.

Glory to God!

“THE GREATEST MIRACLE IN THE WORLD”

God left His palace in heavens to transform Himself through a miracle in the
Virgin Mary’s womb, to convert into a human: GOD IN HUMAN FLESH
His name is Jesus Christ who came to this world to save it by offering his life
in sacrifice to forgive the sin of the world, and when He resurrected at the third
day after his death, He proved to be the Almighty and conqueror of Life Eternal,
for all that without a shadow of a doubt: BELIEVE IN HIM!
Miracles need FAITH, HOPE and CHARITY To make our dreams come true!
HOPE is: To wish for something we want!
CHARITY: TO PAY FOR IT!
FAITH: To obtain it!
That is why, people fail to obtain what they want! Because HOPE is not enough!
FAITH and CHARITY by themselves are not enough, but the union of all three!
ALL THREE IN ACCORD! ALL THREE IN HARMONY!
CHARITY is: TO LOVE PEOPLE! TO LOVE PEOPLE IS TO OBEY GOD!
When we OBEY God, we obtain what we HOPE if we BELIEVE!
Hold it! Hold it! I think you are contradicting yourself! You are saying that
we need HOPE to wish for a miracle! CHARITY to pay for it, and by
BELIEVING that it will come, we obtain it, correct?
Correct! Then, what?
Then, salvation of our soul if we wish to have it, we have to pay for it with Charity
and then, to receive it if we have FAITH right??
No! It is not right! Salvation is free! It is a present from God!
Look: When Jesus died on the cross: HE PAID WITH HIS PRECIOUS BLOOD
ALL OUR DEBTS! ALL!

OUR (HOPE) IS CHRIST! THE PAYMENT IT IS ALREADY DONE! (HIS CHARITY)
There is only one thing left: YOUR FAITH! IF YOU PUT YOUR FAITH IN HIM!
YOU WILL WITNESS THE GREATEST MIRACLE IN THE WORLD:
THE SALVATION OF YOUR SOUL!
SALVATION IS CHRIST HIMSELF!
RECEIVE HIM IN YOUR HEART! And.. ..
PRAISE THE LORD!
