Are you a Christian person?
I think so!
Does that mean you are not sure?
I guess so!
Do you love Jesus Christ?
I think so!
C’mon man, do you love Him or not?
I guess so!
Do you know He died for you to forgive you?
I think so!
For God sake! You are going to make me crazy!
Do you believe He is the Son of God?
I guess so!
You guess so! You guess so! How come you are not sure??
Because nobody had talked to me about Him!
Now I know why you are not sure! I am going to explain you
the most essentials of Christianity, listen:
In order to forgive the sins of the world, God had to die!
But, God is a Spirit and spirits cannot die! So God thru a miracle,
made a virgin conceive in her womb his Son! Without a man,
the virgin became pregnant by a miracle of the Holy Spirit
so the child that was conceived by God was His Son! JESUS!
C’mon, c’mon, keep going it’s interesting!
The rest is very simple to understand:
Non Christians killed Him on a cross!
Christians took Him down from the cross and put Him in a tomb!
God his Father brought Him back to life to live eternally with Him!
And now He is seating at the right hand of God His Father to listen
and forgive the sins of all the people that believe in his conception,
His life his death and in his resurrection! And also that:
He will give eternal life to all who believe!
Do you believe in Him???
YES I DO!
WOW! Now you sound like a Christian!
Are you a Christian?
Yes! I am a Christian! Thanks to Jesus Christ …
I'VE JUST BORN AGAIN TO LOVE GOD AND PEOPLE!
THANK YOU LORD!

"HOME SWEET HOME"
If you were living in a house of many rooms,
with natural lighting, crystal water rivers,
wonderful mountains, and an ocean view.
Air conditioning, an awesome landscaping
with flowers and trees. Would you sale it?
We were living in this house for many years
And we don’t know if it is high or it is low
Do we have some neighbors?
We may never know!
Its color is brown with plushy green carpets
all around the house, the ceiling is velvet,
with silver coins accents, hanging everywhere!
Just check thru the window,
You could see the shadows,
you could see the lagoon glowing with the moon!
If you have a house like this…. Would you destroy it?
No Sir! I will keep it nice!
I wish I could have a house like that!
Well, your wish was granted!
Don’t move, don’t seat, It’s under your feet!
The true owner is upset with us, because
we don’t take good care of it!
He could get us an advice, or an eviction!
It is true! Not science fiction!
ARE YOU LISTENNING???
The air is polluted!
The seas are a mess!
Her fuel tank is empty!
She is really in stress!
This is our home!
It is not a toy!
Stop making weapons,
That could it destroy!
God please help us all!
As we were one nation!
Where are we going to go…
Without your Salvation?
PRAY TO THE LORD!

"WAKE UP AND LIVE"
Listen José:
Why don’t you talk to us about sex?
What?? I ‘m sorry my friend but I think you are in the wrong “channel”
You’ve got to go somewhere else!
No! I’m sorry, because I did not explain myself right!
What we want is that you talk to us about the adulteration of marriage!
About the prohibited sex by God!
I read in something you wrote that the first sin was not sexual because God
told Adam and Eve to populate earth, then, if sex is not prohibited, we could do with it anything we want without a punishment from God!
If sex is not prohibited, prostitution would not be a sin, homosexuality would not be criticized, or pedophilia persecuted and…..
Stop! Stop! Stop! You are completely wrong! God made for human beings
sex, it is true, but, He also instituted the union between a man and a woman and blessed it! However, He prohibited to adultery it!
What is adultery?
Wow! We could had begun right there!
Adultery is to remove the purity of something pure! For example:
If we consider a gallon of pure milk and we add water to earn more money
We are adulterine it!
Do you mean water is impure?
No! Water could be pure, but it is not milk! If you take a gallon of water and add to it a drop of mud, it will not be pure anymore!
Mud made it impure! SIN is the “mud” we add to the purity of the water fountain of the Truth of God! Everything conceived sexually speaking, outside of Marriage between a man and a woman it is prohibited by God!
And everything we do against his will, it is SIN!
Sin is the mud with which we contaminate the purity of our bodies, our minds,our souls our hearts, however, God gives us the opportunity to change! The opportunity to repent of our sins, and straighten out our
path toward Him!
We could continue our path to sin against his will, and wait its consequences,or to ask Him with all our strength to help us to stop
in the path of sin and turn to Him, beginning a new life of love
at his side! We receive this life, when we decide once and for all
to get close to His Son!
THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH! TO ACCEPT CHRIST IS LIFE!
We have two roads to choose from: TO LIVE OR TO DIE!
And because we are already death because of sin in us, we only have one:
TO WAKE UP AND LIVE!
TO LIVE ETERNALLY WITH HIM! To:
PRAISE THE LORD!

"JOHN 3 :16."
“For so God loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son to save
all Born again believers!
No! It is not like that!
No? How does it go then?
“For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that
whosoever believeth in Him will not perish but have everlasting life”
Very good! You learn it by heart!
Yes! I practice it until became part of me!
That is good! But do you know what it means?
Of course! God sent his Son to save all believers in Him!
Yes! That is true, but… Do you know that born again believers are about
two per cent of all humanity? Maybe less?
No! I didn’t know!
Go back to John 3:16 It says: FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD!
ALLTHE WORLD! Not just two percent of it!
What do you mean?
I mean that we as Christians are not doing our job!
We not supposed to be saved and just wait for the coming of Christ,
WE SUPPOSE TO BE PREPARING HIS WAY!
We suppose to be telling others what Christ did for us and that He
could also do for them!
God wants to save all people! Christians, Catholics, Protestants,
Evangelists, Jehovah’s witnesses, Jews, Arabs, Moslems, Indians,
Buddhists, Gnostics, Agnostics, Atheists, and even the devil if he is
willing to get rid of his pride and on his knees worship Christ!
Christ said: I didn’t come to save Just people but to give all sinners
the opportunity to repent and turn to God for Salvation.
As you can see, we are doing very little, but they are organizations
that proclaim the Good News of Christ all over the world in almost
every language, hopping they believe, and be saved!
If we cooperate with them, we will be working for God’s cause!
WE WILL BE WORKING TO MAKE John 3: 16 a REALITY!
Every one has to have the opportunity to accept Christ!
God created man to worship Him! And He gets upset when he sees us
ON OUR KNEES WORSHIPING…… A PIECE OF WOOD!
“Who form a “god” of molted or graven image that is good for nothing?
All his fellows shall be ashamed, because the workman are men.
Let them all be gather together, let them stand up; yet they shall fear
and they shall be ashamed together.” Isaiah Chapter 44: 10 and 11.
Christ is not death! He is seating at the right hand of his Father listen
to our prayers and help us with our needs, but, we are not praying!
We think that after we were saved, there is nothing else to do!
Just to enjoy life and wait for death to come and go to heaven!
C’mon! Wake up! Start praying!
Dear God: Fill me up with your Spirit of Love so I can go to others
and share your Love with them! Your Love is Jesus!

"SHEEP OR WOLF?"
“Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted : But the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away.”
James Chapter 1 verses 9 and 10.
Do you read the Bible?
No! I don’t!
Could you tell me why?
Sure! Because I found it very hard to understand!
I have tried a couple of times, and I fell to sleep! I think is boring!
I read the part in which Jesus said He was the Door of the sheep!
Could Jesus be a Door? And then He said his sheep obey Him!
I am not an animal! Who wants to be a sheep?
Let me to explain you something: what you read is in John 10: 7:
“Jesus told them: Very verily I tell you: I am the door of the sheep”
“…..They shall go in and out and find pastures.” John 10:9
“My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me”
I understand that these verses have a two fold meanings:
1.- On earth Jesus Christ is the Door to the Word of God: The Bible!
He is the Good Shepherd that allows his sheep to enter in and out and
find “Pastures” Sheep are very humble and obedient creatures!
The “Green pastures” Are food for the soul! The Word of God!
When we open the Bible, we enter God’s kingdom, we feed our souls
with the pastures of God and obtain by believing in Jesus: Life Eternal!
2.- The other meaning is the Door of heaven and it is going to be open
for the ones that persevere until the end! (According to the Bible.)
When you accept Christ as your Lord and Savior, you don’t care if
Salvation it is going to come in one minute or in one hundred years!
We feel we are all ready saved with Him in us!
As you can see there is no PRIDE involved in this commitment,
just FAITH! And Faith comes with the KNOWLEDGE of God!
“I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine”
John 10:14 Just imagine: A man all dressed up with a tuxedo, inside an
extra long limousine honking to saint Peter to open up the Pearly Gates!
Saint peter may tell him: I don’t know how you’ve got here, but if you
want to get in, you have to get out the car, and leave inside of it…
YOUR PRIDE! Then, very humble on your knees you have to repent
of all your sins, and ask God for forgiveness!
The man dominated by his PRIDE, very angry, turned around and left
at high speed on the highway that conduces to hell!
THAT IS PRIDE AT ITS MAXIMUM EXPONENT!
HUMBLENESS: Is to recognize we cannot be saved with our own efforts
and we need a Redeemer to bail us out from the penalties of our sins!
I heard that the devil also quoted verses from the Bible to Jesus when he
was tempting Him! Is that true? How come he did not believe?
The devil reads the Bible but does not believe it because of his PRIDE!
His pride makes him feel he is greater than his Creator!
PRIDE IS TO ELEVATE ONESELF TO THE HIGHTS!
HUMBLENESS IS TO LOW ONESELF TO THE GROUNDS!
“Humble yourself in the sight of the Lord and He shall lift you up!”
“But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord!” II Corinthians 10:17.
“Be clothed with humbleness for God resisteth the proud and giveth
Grace to the humble.” I Peter 5:5.
To read the Bible is not difficult if you ask God for understanding!
And understanding leads you to believe! That is called: Faith!
GO AHEAD! ENTER TO THE PASTURES OF GOD! AND THEN..
INVITE HIM TO COME INTO YOUR HEART!
GLORY TO OUR ETERNAL CREATOR!

"GRACE OR THE LAW 3"
When Christ came to earth, He took all Ten Commandments and
converted in just two: Love God with all your heart…
Love people as you love yourself.
If we obey the second one, we are automatically obeying the first
one because that is what God wants from us!
That left us just one Commandment to obey:
Love people as you love yourself! Love does not break the Laws!
Now we just have one step to climb! How nice! Isn’t it?
But braking just this one Commandment, we break all of them!
Loving people is not easy to do! We need to have a special power
from above! This Power, we receive it when we accept Christ
as our Lord and Savior! He does not just repairs the holes in the
aerostatic balloon but reinforces them!
He does not just repairs the steps, but makes them stronger!
Besides, when we put our trust in Him, He comes so close to us,
that we won’t need any balloons or steps to get to heaven!
JUST TO OPEN OUR HEARTS TO HIM! He is the Door of heaven!
And will allow us to enter in and go out as we please!
Are you kidding me?
No! Not at all!
Then show me where in the Bible says so!
All right, go to John chapter 10: Verse 7.
“Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily I say unto you,
I am the Door of the sheep. All that ever come before me are thieves
and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.”
“I am the Door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall
go in and out, and find pasture.”
“The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy:
I am come that they might have life, and that might have it abundantly.
I am the Good shepherd: The good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.”
John 10- 7 to 11.
“And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit over all flesh:……” Acts of the Apostles Chapter 2: 17.
How do we receive the Spirit of God?
WHEN WE RECEIVE CHRIST AS OUR LORD AND SAVIOR!
He will remove all hate from our hearts and minds,
And will fill them up with LOVE! So we could begin a new life!
BORN AGAIN TO SERVE GOD AND PEOPLE FOR EVER
AND EVER! AMEN!
PRAISE THE LORD!

"GRACE OR THE LAW 2"
The paradox is this:
Contrary of what people believe:
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS DO NOT SAVE US!
IT CONDEMNS US TO DIE!
Grace is the forgiveness of sin, when we believe that:
Christ died instead of us to pay for our sins!
THE LAW DEMANDS OBEDIENCE!
GRACE JUST WANTS ITS ACEPTANCE!
We cannot be attached to the Law with one hand and with the
other to Grace in case that one fails, because we could fall!
When we violate God’s Law, it becomes a problem for us, so we
have to put it away in the mean time we found the solution, and
glue ourselves to Grace with both hands! Don’t take me wrong!
THE LAW IS PERFECT! BUT WE ARE NOT!
AND WE FAIL! So,
We could have them both attaching ourselves to one: GRACE!
OUR SALVATION IS NOT IN THE TEN COMMANDMENTS!
OUR SALVATION IS IN GRACE!
Let me illustrate a little bit so you could understand it better:
Just imagine that the Ten Commandments are like a special
aerostatic balloon that wants to take us to heaven if we obey
them all, and sin, like very sharp nails that will poke holes to
the balloon every time we violate any one of the Laws of God!
The more we sin, the more holes we put in the balloon, and the
faster the air will escape from it, and cannot fly, besides:
NOBODY CAN REPAIR THOSE “HOLES”.
It could also be compared with a ten steps ladder we could climb
to heaven! But any one of them we break….
WE BREAK THEM ALL!
So, our opportunity to go to heaven, VANISHES!
What can we do?
I’ll tell you in a bit, in the mean time….
KEEP PRAYING!
GOD ANSWERS PRAYERS!
To be continued….

"GRACE OR THE LAW"
“PARADOX”
Do you believe in the Bible?
Yes! I do!
Do you believe in The Ten Commandments?
Of course! If I believe in the Bible I have to believe also in God’s Law!
Don’t get upset with me, but I have to ask you another question,
Actually, two more!
Go ahead! What are they?
Do you believe in Jesus Christ?
Yes, I do believe in Him! Why?
Because not all the people that believe in The Ten Commandments,
believe in Jesus Christ! Further more, I have to ask you:
Do you believe in GRACE?
You got me right there! What is GRACE?
Grace is something that seems to oppose the Ten Commandments
But it does not! Actually, it helps us to comply with its demands!
It helps us to obey it!
I am sorry, but I don’t understand!
Let me explain it to you:
God’s Laws demand obedience from us, correct?
Yes! That is true! And?
Nobody obeys all the Law!
Nobody?
Yes! Nobody! That is why the world is upside down!
Pastors, Preachers, Priests of all religions, are tired telling their congregation not to lie, not to hate, not to steal, not to kill, not to commit adultery, but the people as soon as they leave their churches, they forget,and do it again! Why?
Because by nature, we are all sinners!
That is why Christ came to this world, because we do not obey the Ten
Commandments and Christ change them for GRACE.
Does that mean that if we don’t have them anymore, we can do anything
we want without God’s punishment?
Absolutely not! Nobody escapes from God’s Justice!
Remember this:
INSIDE SIN THE PUNISHMENT LAYS WITHIN
But there is something nice:
AFTER A GOOD DEED, THERE IS A PRIZE!
.
Grace is Pardon, it is forgiveness! Forgiveness of your past
Renewal of your heart and mind!
The beginning of a new life, serving God and helping people!
To be continued….
Do you believe in the Bible?
Yes! I do!
Do you believe in The Ten Commandments?
Of course! If I believe in the Bible I have to believe also in God’s Law!
Don’t get upset with me, but I have to ask you another question,
Actually, two more!
Go ahead! What are they?
Do you believe in Jesus Christ?
Yes, I do believe in Him! Why?
Because not all the people that believe in The Ten Commandments,
believe in Jesus Christ! Further more, I have to ask you:
Do you believe in GRACE?
You got me right there! What is GRACE?
Grace is something that seems to oppose the Ten Commandments
But it does not! Actually, it helps us to comply with its demands!
It helps us to obey it!
