On Seducers of the Soul

 "Seducers are more dangerous enemies to the church than persecutors". Matthew Henry


Be careful of people that will come to you, and pretend to be Christians or attending the church because are brought by their parents.. but be always aware that your eyes must be fixed in Christ not on men. There will be many that will try to seduce you away from your faith, it is easy if you are not with your guard up. Be careful of those that with kind words and will entice you to sin.

Run away from those companies, find others that will encourage you to continue on the path you were taught since young, do not listen to the advice of sinners because it will take little, for you to listen about it, desire  and sin to the point of being proud about it.  Be careful to listen only to good advice, advice that is only supported by God's Word.

Remember the whirlpool in the ocean, many great ships get sucked in it and never seen again. It never starts very quickly, it is always slow, a simple gentle turn, but little by little, they are pulled closer to the center and sucked in with no mercy. Stay as far as you can from any of this whirlpools of seducing companies so that you may not be pulled by their sin.

Persecutors in the church, often will make your faith stronger, because it will force you on your knees to pray to your God... but the seductors, will come very softly, using nice words, and language that you are used to, they will be wolves dressed in sheep skin, so they will try to trick you into thinking that they  belong to Christ. Be aware, do not sleep or slumber about your faith, but always keep watch. Be alert and always in prayer. If you pray often, your life will show and with God's grace, you will be able to discern between the wolf and the sheep.

On the Story of Faith(fulness)

Image
(I wrote this 8 months after Erica Faith died) Not too long ago, I felt complete. I felt with my hands full and missing nothing. I never saw myself like I was missing someone to hold or to hug. I was complete with the children God gave us. Two wonderful boys that filled my house with laughs, those boys that make me smile every time I see them. Those boys that are growing to be godly men.. O what a joy and satisfaction that is! I always teased that all I ever was going to be, was the "mother in law" because I had no daughters to "plan" the wedding with, but it was fine!, I was happy and said that I was going to spoil my daughters in laws so much so that I would be not just the dreaded "mother in law"... it was fine, really, It was a very happy and complete life, we were 4 in my house and 4 was great! And then, I had the privilege of having a daughter with me for very little time, yet, I got to hug and kiss, to love and cherish, to fill my...

On Redeeming your Time

Image
 Sons, Time is one of the things that once it is not used, you cannot get back. No wonder why the Bible tells us to redeem our time. To use it wisely. Focus on what is important and use it with whom you love and for His service which will not be in vain .  We learn that from king David and how he fell into sin.  2 Samuel 11 " In the spring, at the time when kings go off to war , David sent Joab out with the king’s men and the whole Israelite army. They destroyed the Ammonites and besieged Rabbah. But David remained in Jerusalem ." Kings (as he was), went to battle, but he stayed. That was his first mistake! Not doing what he was supposed to be doing. He stayed, and so boredom, idleness, and time, became his enemy! Learn from him! -Identify what are the things that matter in life most (Bible reading, private prayer, family time) -Be intentional! if we are not (I had to learn this), we fall very easily in killing time instead of using time! Killing time is so easy - it take...

On Battling Sin

Image
Dear sons,    I just wanted to write to you quickly today!  I want you to know that you are NOT alone in this battle!  Do not be discouraged by your sin... look to Christ. His forgiveness, grace and power to save and forgive are WAY WAY bigger than your sin. You may think that you are "trying hard to become a Christian" but your reoccurring sin makes you doubt your salvation - I have good news for you. One who is not born again, whose heart has not been made new by the power of the Spirit, does not even want to become one. His heart is hardened towards God and hates even the though of being cleansed and resemble Christ in any way shape or form.  "The child of God has 2 great marks about him...." How would you finish this sentence? Faith and repentance? Praise and thanksgiving? Humility and joy? ...?? I am not sure what I would have said - but not this: J.C. Ryle, in his book "Holiness" says: The child of God has 2 great marks about him. He may be known by...
