"GO UNTO THE WORLD 3"

“And he said unto them: Go ye unto the world and preach the
gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized
shall be saved; but he that believeth not, shall be dammed.”
Mark 16-15.
But the apostles died centuries ago, then, who will take the
Gospel to the world?
The believers! You!
Me?
Yes! You! Listen:
I know it is good to congregate in the churches to praise the
Lord together, and learn more about Christ; but, what for?
Just for us?
No! It shouldn’t be for us only, but to tell everyone: God
loves you, and sent his Son to save you!
He is our only chance to go to heaven, because He cleanses
us out of sin when we believe and deposit in Him our faith
and our confidence because when we believe that Jesus is
the Son of God, He is pleased with us and places his Holy
Spirit in us so by his power gives us strength, knowledge,
and wisdom to talk to the people about Christ who is
anxious to know you and bless you, so you too could bless
people instead of cursing them.
God loves you and sent his Son to save you!
Praise Him and help others to know Him.
This is the best way to show God your love for all what
He does for us!
What is to walk in the Spirit?
To walk in the Spirit is to have a friendship with Him,
is not to ignore Him but to work together to help people.
“Walk in the Spirit and you not fulfill the lust of the flesh”
Galatians 5-16.
To walk in the Spirit is to let Him use our mind, our
mouth, and our hands to proclaim the kingdom of God
through us and filled with the Spirit of God, we could say
to the world: God loves you! Open up your heart to Him!

GLORY TO THE LORD!

"GO YE UNTO THE WORLD 2"

But who could do this?
Who else? God himself!
He came down from heaven as a man, born from a virgin,
He became the Son of the Almighty God to give his life
to save us.
Now with Him, the world has an opportunity of salvation,
because by receiving God’s Son into our hearts we receive
forgiveness of our sins, the only way we could enter heaven.
Christ is the Lamb of God who was sacrificed for us, to be
able to obtain God’s mercy.
He took our sins for himself to clean us and present us to
His Father who does not tolerate sin because He is Saint.
Christ is the Lamb of God who takes the sin of the world!
Our Savior!
“Go ye unto the world to preach the Gospel”
And this is the message:
“For God so loved 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 said unto them: Thus it is written, and thus it behoved
Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day;
And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached
in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.”
Luke 24-46 and 47.

"GO YE UNTO THE WORLD"

Go ye unto the world and preach the gospel to every creature,
Jesus told to his disciples, but why? Maybe the world didn’t
have any “gods” to worship, right?
Wrong! They had all kinds of gods to worship: gods of stone,
wood, paper, they were worshiping the sun, the moon stars
and so on, things prohibited by The Almighty.
The world is corrupt and they love the easy living, and thinking
that their gods won’t punish them, they commit all kind of crimes
making the world everyday worse and worse.
“Thou shalt have no other gods before me,
Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness
of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath,
or that is in the water under the earth:
thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them for I
the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the
fathers upon the children unto the third generation of them
that hate me;
and shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me,
and keep my commandments.
Exodus 20-3 to 6.
But people preferred to have idols that permit them to do
everything they want without prohibitions of any kind bringing
to themselves the wrath of God for their disobedience,
walking away from the living God.
The world was lost and they needed a Savior, someone who
could remove from us the penalty of our sins bringing to us
forgiveness placing us back on the track to God.
But who could do this?

"HALF LIFE 2"

Oh good! Then, I’m not going to worry about it!
If I still have fifty more years to live, I’ve got time to repent
later, now is time to enjoy life!
Do you thing so, who guarantee you that you’re going to live
fifty more years?
Do you know for sure when your other half starts?
What? I don’t understand!
Yes! I’m telling you that only God knows for sure how many
more years we have ahead to live! Look: If your second half
started thirty years ago, you only have twenty more to live,
if started forty years ago, then you only have ten more,
and you don’t want to know if started fifty years ago, right?
Oh, don’t scare me!
No, I won’t!
Do you know that when we accept Christ as our Lord, we
die with Him and come back to life when He resurrected?
Colossians 3-1.
Then, if we already die and resurrected, we are living a new
life, a never ending life! Do you understand?
Wait, could you show mi in what part of the Bible says that?
Of course! Listen to what Jesus say:
“Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that believeth on me
has everlasting life.” John 6 -47.
“I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I,
but Christ liveth in me; and the life which now live, in the
flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God who love me,
and gave himself for me.” Galatians 2-20.
“These things have I written unto you that believe on the
name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have
eternal life, and ye may believe on the name of the Son
of God.” I John 5 - 13.
Christ is the Life Eternal, and this life can be yours in
the instant you tell Him: Lord: I believe in you!
Come to my heart!

PRAISE HIM HE LOVES YOU!

"HALF LIFE"

If we consider one hundred years as the average span of life
of a human being, fifty, would be its half.
Well, most of us who live on this beautiful world, already
lived one half or more of our lives.
We already spent most of this time, living in sin, but …
don’t worry, all of us are sinners!
However, the question is this:
Have you made plans for the other half?
Are you planning to make a one hundred and eighty degrees
turn living sin behind?
Or to continue riding on the train with straight railings
all the way until the end of the trip?
In the name of Christ, stop!
The train is running and is not easy to stop, we have to jump,
and even if we have to walk our way back to God; we will
be happy just by knowing we are facing God, and sin is back,
way, way, back! Every effort brings its rewards, and Christ
will not leave us alone!
If you accept Him as your Lord, He will walk with you what
is left to get to our home in heaven! Isn’t it nice? Listen:
We cannot go back in time to fix our wrong doing, but we
can repent from all the bad things we did, and God in Christ
is ready to forgive us, He is ready to clean our past, and begin
living on a future that will last forever! Look:
We have the power in us to stop the train and get down!
Just say: In the name of Christ, stop!
And when it stops, don’t go back on that train again!
Get off the train of sin! And…
Welcome back to God!

LOVE HIM WITH ALL YOUR HEART!

"THE RICH MAN AND LAZARUS 2"

Then he said: I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest
send him to my father’s house:
For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest
they also come into this place of torment.
Abraham said unto him, they have Moses and the prophets;
let them hear them.
And he said, Nay, father Abraham; but if one went unto them
from the dead, they will repent.
And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets,
neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.
Luke 16-19.
The rich man sadly awakened among the flames when it was
to late to repent and change the direction of his life, and he
wished that his brothers could repent and avoid to fall in
such place. And Abraham told him that if they don’t listen
to Moses and the prophets, they won’t listen neither if
someone is sent from the dead.
God listened the concern of the rich man for his brothers but
did not tell Abraham to send Lazarus to tell them about Hades,
instead, God sent his beloved Son who rose among the dead
to tell all of us about this horrendous place, avoiding it by
repenting of our sins, and tell Jesus to save us, because with
his death he paid for all our sins.
We may not be rich, but after a party, we throw away lots
of food, like the rich man, instead of saving some money
to help so many hungry people that don’t have a crust
of bread to take to their mouths. Listen:
“As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous
therefore, and repent.
Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: If any man hear
my voice, and open the door, I will come to him, and will
sup with him, and he with me.
Revelation 3-19.

PRAISE THE LORD!

José Salazar

"THE RICH MAN AND LAZARUS"

This is an illustration of Jesus in which it is recognized that hell
exists; so we could knowing it, we could do even the impossible
to avoid to fall in it.
I beg you to loan me a few minutes of your time, of that precious
time God grant it to you.
A friend of mine read in Luke 16-19 this story, and asked me if
I think that the rich man and Lazarus knew each other before the
rich man were rich, and this is what we found:
The story begins like this:
There was a certain rich man, which was clothed with purple and
fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day.
And there was a certain beggar name Lazarus, which was laid at
his gate, full of sores.
And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich
man’s table ; moreover the dogs came and lick his sores.(pause)
It is logical that they didn’t know each other before he was rich,
because otherwise, he would have invited Lazarus to his parties,
but I think that the presence of Lazarus at the rich man’s home,
were not pleasant at all for him, and I also believe that he did not
gave him any alimony, because this may attracted more beggars
to his house in which Lazarus patiently waited for the food waste
to eat and feed the dogs that loved him and licked his sores.
Continues verse 22:
And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by
the angels into Abraham bosom: the rich man also died, and
was buried;
And in hell he lifted his eyes, being in torments, and seeth
Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
And he cried and said, father Abraham, have mercy on me,
and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water,
and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.
But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy life time
receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things:
but now he is comforted, and thou tormented.
And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf
fixed; so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot;
neither can they pass to us, that would come from hence.

"CIRCLES"

All who have the Spirit of Christ in their hearts…
Are Christians! Listen:
“Now, if any man have not the Spirit of Christ,
he is none of his.” Romans 8-9.
Christ came to this world to give all sinners, the
opportunity of repentance, receive forgiveness of
our sins and life eternal when we believe in Him!
All religions trace a circle around them and say that
within their circle, we can reach heaven. However,
the Bible says that there is only one “Way” to God:
Jesus Christ! John 14-16.
The circle Jesus Christ outlined from heaven, covers
the whole world! Jesus said to his apostles:
“Go ye unto all the world, and preach the gospel to
every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall
be saved; but he that believeth not, shall be damned.”
Mark 16-15.
God wants to give us all, the Way of salvation by
means of his beloved Son, but cannot force us to
believe on Him!
Our faith in God increases when we listen the Good
News of Christ, and when we know Him better, we
begin to believe in Him! Listen:
“Jesus is the Lamb of God which takes away the sin
of the world.” John 1-29.
We all are part of the world! Of course! Including you!
The Spirit of the Lord rejoices when hears you talking
about his Son to others. Don’t hesitate! Do it!
If you have Him in your heart, share Him!
But if you think you don’t have Him…
Open it up and invite Him to enter!
Accepting Christ as your Savior, will put you in a
greater circumference far beyond the earth’s circle,
a place, where eternal life begins.
Far away from sin! Closer, much closer to God!

PRAISE HIM!
HE LOVES YOU!

"LET'S COOK SOMETHING" 2.

The opposite of Temperance is lack of self control!
It is to let us take by an impetuous wave into the Ocean without
having the will to row in our small boat to the place we would
like to go, and because we allowed the alcohol , drugs, to take
control of our lives, we land in hell, instead of Paradise.
And because of sin, we are an insipid pot of meat and water,
without the fruits that could give us the flavor and taste,
to our lives.
But, how could we obtain the fruits of the Spirit?
Good question!
The Bible tells us this:
“For the fruits of the Spirit is in all Goodness, righteousness,
and Truth” Ephesians 5-9.
Tell me:
If somebody comes to you with an empty plate, and asks you
to give him something that you have, what would you give him?
Nobody wants to eat from a pot that is full of hatred, or pride,
or doubt, etc.
What can we do?
Change!
Change your doubts into faith, your hatred in love,
and put them at the feet of Jesus.
Open up your heart!
And begin a new life loving God and people!
Don’t forget!
God loves you! Invite Him to live in you!

I LOVE YOU JESUS!
COME INTO MY HEART!

"LET'S COOK SOMETHING"

Cook?
If I’m in this page is to listen or read something about God, and,
certainly not about cooking!
Calm down my friend, we will talk about God, but first tell me:
How good a food would it taste if for example a chunk of beef
is placed in a pot with water, and boil it without any condiments,
no salt, pepper, onions, or vegetables? Just meat and water!
Oh, it would taste awful, anybody knows that, but you said that
you were going to talk about God and not about food!
Yes! It’s true! Listen:
The fruits of the Spirit are nine: Love, Joy, Peace, Long suffering,
Gentleness, Goodness, Faith, Meekness, and Temperance.
Galatians 5-22.
People are like meat and water, just like the pot we were cooking
without all the necessary ingredients to have a good taste,
and be nutritious.
But, what all these things have to do with the fruits of the Spirit?
Look: A person without them is as cold as ice, insensitive, without
peace, patience, or faith, insecure, unfriendly, without self control,
without love for God or others, he is like a pot of meat cooked
just with water, tasteless, and so sour and bitter, that nobody wants
to get close to him.
Listen: Hate is the opposite of Love, sadness the opposite of Joy.
Faith is the opposite of doubt, which makes us insecure, unable
to reach what we always are following.
The opposite of Peace is an interior war within us, fighting to
stabilize our boat to keep it from sinking.
The opposite of Longsuffering (Patience) is desperation,
It is to try to finish something we have never started.
The opposite of Gentleness and Goodness is evil doing,
is to have the desire to curse, and hurt people.
The opposite of Meekness (Humbleness) is Pride, Haughtiness,
is to think we are far better that any other person.

"THE INVENTORY"

We are not eternal…Sooner or later …
We have to give account to God for everything we do!
We have to make an inventory of all the good and bad things
we have done during our lives, and how much better will be to do
it now than waiting until the end of our lives and confront us with
a huge debt that even if we want it to, we could not pay it off!
We have to ask God for the forgiveness of our sins, and once and
for all begin a new life trying to amortize our debt with God!
But how?
How are we going to pay back for all the damages we have done?
Would somebody could be able to return all that have stolen?
Could somebody bring back to life somebody if they have killed?
How are we going to repair all damages caused by our lies?
How could we return to God after going so far away from him?
Our whole life won’t be enough to liquidate our debt if we don’t
begin to make our installments now!
But, wait a minute, God, is not asking for your money,
He wants your faith in his Son!
Everything could change if we recognize that Jesus Christ on
the cross, paid with his blood for all our debts…
If you believe, it is done!
Make your inventory!
Put it at the feet of Jesus and ask Him to forgive you!
Your debt will be paid in full!
You will be free!
Free to begin loving, not to continue sinning!
If your debt now shows cero, keep it that way!
From now on, good deeds will be your goal!

THANK YOU JESUS!

"RISE UP"

“Pride goes before destruction and a haughty spirit before fall”
Proverbs 16-18.
We are proud to be called Christians, we feel separated from the
World, we feel sanctified for God and we think that we have to
keep ourselves away as far as we possible can from the ones that
for one or for other reason, they walked away from the church
and returned to sin, we called them: “The fallen ones”
How could they do that? We say, I don’t understand!
They are not like us! They are dammed, they are lost!
Does God forget the fallen ones? Of course not! Listen:
If a man lost one of his sheep, doesn’t he leave the ninety nine
in the sheep pen and goes to find the lost one? Mathew 18-12.
“I will seek that which was lost and bring again that it was
driven away and will bind up that which was broken, and will
strengthen that which was sick” Ezekiel 34-16.
Jesus raises the fallen ones!
Jesus asked a crippled man: Do you want to be whole?
Sir, the man answered, when the water is ready to heal, I can’t
find anybody to put me into the water. And Jesus said to him:
Rise, pick up your mat and walk!
The man was immediately made whole. John 5-2 to 8.
The prodigal son was forgiven after all he did!
God is our Father and the prodigal sons are us!
“Wherefore, lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble
knees, and make straight paths for your feet, lest that what is
lame be turn out of the way, but let it rather be healed.”
Hebrews 12-12.
“More Joy shall be in heaven over one sinner than repented
more than over ninety and nine that need no repentance.
Luke 15- 7.
Rise, and follow Jesus!
Walk in the paths of righteousness!
Walk in the paths of God!

PRAISE THE LORD!

"RIVERS OF LIFE"

Life is like a Majestic river of clean water, to give everyone
that with a dry mouth is looking for a little bit of that precious
liquid, to calm down their thirst, and continue living.
However, when the river is shaken, the mud setting at its bottom
contaminates it so much, that changes from crystalline to opaque,
and so smelly, that nobody can drink it.
Sin is the mud in our hearts, that does not allow us to see its
bottom, and when we get upset, the water mixes with the mud,
and the bad words begin to come afloat, converting us in enemies
of that wonderful being created in the image and likeness of God.
Tired of this awful life, we fall on our knees repenting of our sins
before the Son of the Almighty God, who sent him to the world
to save us. And Christ so happy to see us coming close to Him,
forgives us, cleanses us, and prepare us to make a change,
a wonderful change in our lives, far away from hate, and now
that we are closer to him, He begins teaching us his love.
Without the mud of sin in our lives, Christ illuminates all the
interior of our being, so we could see the very bottom of our
heart, now clean and pure, to use it as a temple for God.
Instead of the mud of sin in our hearts, we begin filling it up
with the Word of God, who blesses us when we give someone
to drink of the water of life, that Christ verted abundantly to
bless anyone that tired, decides to get closer to Christ and be
transformed into a new person to give Him glory.
Thanks be to God, for the tremendous victory against sin con-
quered for us through his Son, who suffered, died, and rose,
to give life to all of us who sincerely believe in Him,
in his Love, in his Mercy, in his Grace.
Blessed be our Lord who paid with his precious blood the
high price for us, so we could live eternally with Him.
Because… He truly loves us!

PRAISE HIM WITH ALL YOUR HEART!

"HIS NAME IS JEALOUS"

God came down to earth!
In the beginning was the Word (Christ) The Word was
With God, the Word was God.
He created everything, there is nothing that exists that He
had not created. Eternal life is in Him, and this life gives
light to all mankind.
And the light shined in darkness; and the darkness cannot
extinguish it. But although He made the world, the world
did not recognize Him when He came.
Even in his own land, and among his people, He was not
accepted. Only a few welcomed Him, but all who received
Him, all who believed in his name, He gave them the right
to become children of God.
All those who believed, are reborn, not a physical rebirth
resulting from human passion, but from the will of God…
And some of us have seen his glory, the glory of the
only Son. John 1-1 to 14. Listen:
“For thou shalt worship no other god: For the Lord, whose
name is Jealous, is a jealous God” Exodus 34-14.
Why is God jealous?
Simple: If He created everything that we can see, and that
we cannot see…
If He existed before anything becomes into existence…
Everything! Absolutely everything belongs to Him!
Even ourselves of course! Then…
Why do we have to worship something or someone
that is not Him?
He is jealous because He loves us, and don’t want us to
deviate away from Him!
If the universe disappears, God will continue existing!
And if we are in Him and He in us… we will continue
existing along with Him forever!

PRAISE HIM HE LOVES YOU!

"COME UNTO ME"

God separated his people from other towns so they don’t worship
other “gods” besides” Him, however, some of them, merry women
of other places and they taught them to worship material gods,
gods of stone, wood metal, etc. disobeying the true God.
Ezra 9.
The world was lost with so much sin, however, in order to save it…
God sent his Son! Listen:
“For God so loved the world that, he gave his only begotten
Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish,
but have everlasting life.” John 3-16.
The only Son of God Jesus Christ, sacrificed himself for us,
offering his body as a living sacrifice for the forgiveness of sin,
but He also asks us to walk away from idol worshiping and get
closer to the living God that lives and rules forever. Hear this:
“Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I
will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and
lowly in heart; and ye, shall find rest unto your souls.”
Mathew 11- 28 and 29.
Our faith in the Son of the Almighty God, is our salvation!
He is he forgiveness of our sins, through his grace. Look:
“Because the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is
eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Romans 6-23.
Jesus died for us, so we could keep living!
And if we believe He resurrected among the death…
We will live forever!.
Come to me, says Jesus! If you are tired…
What are you waiting for? Get closer to Him!
Don’t you make Him wait any longer!

PRAISE HIM HE LOVES YOU!

"HE IS RISEN"

to give us his love eternally!

He is risen!
Praise Him
with all your heart!


He is risen; He is my Lord,
my God, my Savior!
He is risen to save my soul!

Thank You Jesus for your life,
your death and resurrection.

You’re the King!

"WHAT A BEAUTIFUL DAY"

What am I going to do with this lovely day God grant me?
Will I use it to criticize, hate, or make people mad?
Of course not!
This is a day of light, peace and love, we should not convert
it into darkness doing what God hates, upsetting the One
who without thinking about it twice, gives us everything.
Instead, let’s show Him our love!
“This is the day which the Lord hath made;
we will rejoice and be glad in it.” Psalm 118-24.
Forgive and forget! Be happy!
Let’s rejoice, sing hymns praising the Lord!
Let’s glorify the Almighty!
Glory to the Lord of the Universe!
Glorify his lovely Name!
Tell Him you love Him!
“And thou shalt love the Lord thy God
with all thy heart, and with all thy soul,
and with all thy mind, and with all
thy strength…
And thou shalt love thy neighbor as thy self.”
There is no other Commandment greater than these.
Mark 12-30.
Thank you Lord for this magnificent day!
Thank you Jesus!

"MISSION ACCOMPLISHED?"

We all have a mission to fulfill during our lives in this world.
Do you know what’s yours?
Yes?, No?, Maybe?
I think they’re only two: Love, and Hate!
Love builds up, Hate, destroys!
We will hate and destroy if our mission is not to love!
We cannot achieve our mission just by letting ourselves to be
guided by the river flow to an unknown destiny, and then be
pushed out of the boat without knowing about our mission.
Is that bad?
Of course is bad! With our arms crossed, we cannot do a thing,
we cannot accomplished anything, we won’t be able to conquer
something we never knew we have to.
Hate is cheap! Listen:
“It has always been easy to hate and destroy. To build and to
cherish is much more difficult.” Queen Elizabeth II.
True! Very true, but, it is completely up to us to love or hate,
to build or destroy as a part of our mission, is a strong issue!
Wake up! Can’t you see where the river is taking you?
Get off the boat! Go back! God is alive and waiting for you!
Let me tell you something: We have to have God inside of us!
It is not enough to have an image on the wall, or a crucifix
hanging on your neck to have Him, God wants to live in your
heart, so you could feel Him alive!
When you believe He died for us, He forgives your sins, and
when you believe He rose again among the death to give us
eternal life… This life becomes yours, and as a proof of it,
He will dwell in your heart from then on, to forever more.
Put your hands together! Bend your knees and say: Come!
Come Lord Jesus, to save me! The Spirit of God and yours
will join to work on a great mission:
Talk to others of the glory of his name.
Help us Lord to accomplish this noble Mission.
