Ask Seek Knock Matt 7:7-8 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asks receives; and he that seeks finds and to him that knocked it shall be opened. Lots of people know this.. But they stop at ask. […]
At School
Symphony
My definition of symphony was just boring music. I basically stopped listening to music when my Sr. Pastor came down and told me to stop leading praise and worship because I wasn’t very good (he was right). Haha. But I stopped listening to praise and worship music when I stopped leading praise and worship. […]
1/5 Second
2 Cor 10:5. Take every thought captive to obey Christ Encouraged by the VA, my son, my mission director and other close friends, I have been studying mindfulness. It is not woo woo yoga, or eastern religions. It is about not be a spastic shell shocked vet with adhd. I am studying it, I am […]
BORN AGAIN
John 3:3 Except a man is born again he can not see the kingdom of God I´ve been born again! Thank you Lord Jesus!BornAgain John 3:3 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. I went to church, and listened to Christian radio, for […]
Here
Isaiah 6:8. … Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me. We used to drive all the kids home after church. Once we forgot a little 3 year old girl named Gilma. Ever since then, when […]
Forgetting
Forgetting Philippians 3:13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, “I don’t want to see where I’ve been, I want to see How I look getting to where I am going” Fonzy from […]
Why?
Mark 11:3 if any man say unto you, Why do ye this? say ye that the Lord…. ‘Why’ is what makes us get up in the morning. ‘Why’ is what makes us move. ‘Why’ is what makes us do things. Many times we can’t put our finger on the reason we do things because it’s […]
Lover
Whats my job? Im a lover! Million Friends (Me about 3 decades ago, BCC (before I planted Calvary Chapel Managua) Lover 1 Corinthians 13:4 Love is kind, love does not envy, love does not boast, love is not conceited I heard a pastor recently say that when people ask him what his profession is, he […]
Standard
Gods standards are perfection, but not like youd think Million Friends Standards 2 Corinthians 3:2-3. You are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read by all men; clearly you are an epistle of Christ, ministered by us, written not with ink but by the Spirit of the living God, We are ‘read letters’ […]
Desire
Psalm 37:4Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart Many are dubious about this. ‘Desires of my heart?’ That seems to most like coloring with a jumbo crayon. Very vague. Lots of ´wiggle room´. Let’s look at it closer. You can control the desires of your heart […]
Reap
(pt 2 of 2 parts in Sowing/Reaping) Psalm 126:5 They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. Joy is unspeakable. This joy accompanies us when we reap what we sowed in tears. Joy is something that can not be explained. It only comes through loving Jesus, not fearing man. Joyful people are not coming […]
Sow
(pt 1 of 2 parts in Sow/Reap) Psalm 126:5 They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. These are tough times. Actually for many, this whole decade has been really tough so far, with no end in sight. Worldwide panic and paranoia. Distrust, lies and fake news abounding from all sides. Grandparents isolated from […]

Sometimes He protects us from ourselves and our prayers, but that is NOT […]
Pray
PRAY!Learning to PRAY is #3 out of 7 phases in spiritual growth. —— español abajo—— JOHN 16:23, Whatsoever ye shall ASK THE FATHER IN MY NAME, he will give it ‘to’ you. Most born again Christians pray every day. Many however, don’t really believe that it actually works. They pray because they are taught to. It’s […]
Forgive
TO FORGIVE #2 out of 7 phases in spiritual growth. —— español abajo——Ephesians 4:32 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you. Learning to FORGIVE is the 2nd step in growing spiritually. It is closely related to part 1,which was FORGET. They are intertwined. To […]
Shame
——-español abajo———- Hebrew 12:2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of [our] faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne. I gew up thinking that shame was a Christian word. Every self righteous person that […]
Obededom
OBEDEDOM—–SPANISH BELOW—— 1 Chronicles 13:14 “And the ark of God remained with the family of Obededom in his house three months. And the LORD blessed the house of Obededom, and all that he had.” This is my favorite story in the Bible. Everywhere that I teach it, lives are changed. I teach it because I […]
New Normal
(espanol abajo) Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert. 2020 can still be the best year of our lives! A landmark time of victory in our lives, where we […]

Still working towards and orpahange opening and more surprises to come. God is good, forever. (lessons from the plague, pt 7) God doesn’t […]
Say
(espanol abajo) “let the weak say I am strong” Joel 3:10 I really dislike the expression ‘I’m just saying’. Just like I also don’t like kids pointing toy guns at me and saying pow pow. It’s the same, kids use toy guns to practice murder, not having seen what a gun can do to someone […]
Covet
(espanol abajo) UPDATE ON MILLION FRIENDS BELOW Exodus 20:17 Thou SHALT NOT covet. A good question to ask yourself if you concerned about coveting something is, “AM I CONTENT WITHOUT IT?” If the answer is no, you are coveting something and coveting is 99% of the time a sin. If someone says they don’t sin, they […]
Carnal
(español below) I Corinthians 3:1-3 “And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ. I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able. For ye are yet […]
Natural
(ESPANOL ABAJO) “But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.” I Corinthians 2:14 There’s 3 types of man: (1) Natural man (non-believer) We were all there once, God has no grand children). (2) Carnal […]

Faithful
(español and progress @ Home for At-Risk children below) 1 Corinthians 4:2: It is required of stewards, that a man be found FAITHFUL! To be faithful you have to have faith. I find myself weak in faith sometimes. When I am low in that area, it is hard to be faithful. Invariably it’s when […]
Gracious
Our preschool opens again next Monday! We have the best teachers in the world, very gracious! Years ago Yovany Zuluaga and I were in a corner store in Medellin, Colombia. Theshop keeper got angry at me for something. (I have that effect on most people, believers or not). When we left, I was mad, but […]
