Proverbs 16:18 Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall. The middle word of prIde is I ! In teaching through the Bible again, God always shows me completely different things. It takes a long time to teach the Bible. Families change, friends come and go. Donors as well. The […]

Demas
2 Timothy 4:9 For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world Just listened to Pastor David Rosales delivering an excellent message on Demas. https://resources.ccphilly.org/detail.asp?TopicID=123&Teaching=ECPC1804&fbclid=IwAR1v0XIgi5U5T_jSZEKuh0mo0jUkyg-d3ODrYaovF9nko-llPh3M4EFhc58 So good, it left me dwelling on it all day. Pastor David’s message covered everything about Demas. I could never do it justice. I don’t want to build upon […]
Mothers
Happy Nica Mother’s Day Winnie didn’t want to have her picture taken because she was sad (missing our own kids who are studying in the states). Jessica and Cindy, who basically were raised by Winnie, look at her as their mom. So they jumped in and saved the day. Winnie has lots and lots of […]
Puppy
1 Cor 13: 4 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, 5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; We just got a new puppy named Remi. She never gets angry. Never holds a grudge. 0 […]
Symphony or Sympathy
Are you seeking a Symphony for God or Sympathy from man? Acts 16:25 … at midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God (in prison) Suddenly an earthquake shook the prison, their shackles fell off, the walls came down, and they were free to go. Lots of churches teach (and correctly so) […]
Distractions
People keep asking me about ‘going and making disciples’. I don’t know if you know this but I’ve been leading an hour long Bible study for up to12 people 6 times a week for years now. I know how wonderful it feels to teach the Bible, exposition-ally, line upon line. I can never stop doing […]
Doin Nuttin
DoinNuttin isn’t a claim to innocence. We are called to be ‘DoinSumpin’ not ‘DoinNuttin’. Those who are obeying the call to do something, do so because they believe in the One who is calling them, and believe that the call is real. Million Friends Update – WE STILL ARE DOING EVERYTHING WE CAN TO […]
Influence
To influence others you have to be in their lives The following is a weekly blog of my missions experience and my take away from what I feel God has shown me this week. Also to help me to process the good the bad and the ugly. If it’s too long, or painful that’s […]
Better!
The same power that resurrected Jesus from the Tomb is available to all. Ecclesiastes 7:8 …….the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit. Easter is a time for new beginnings. Easter is on the 8th day of the week. (The number 8 in the Bible means Fresh Start) Evangelical Christians and Catholics […]
I am Afraid!
Not for myself I’m afraid! even worried Mark 4:40 He said to his disciples, “Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?” Faith and fear can’t be in the same vessel. Fear always takes over. Like just a drop of salt water mixed in a vase of sweet water makes the […]
Truth
THE TRUTH SHALL MAKE THEE FREE Here’s a funny story. When I first came here as a missionary I wore a goatee. (Since then, I was told a really funny joke about goatees, which made me shave it off immediately). But when I was down here with my goatee, Stone Cold Steve Austin was famous […]
Frontlines
There is never just one FrontLine 2 Samuel 11:15 David wrote: “Put Uriah on the front lines where the fighting is the hardest. Then leave him there alone, and let him be killed in battle.” EHV. We know the story. King David was on the roof top, sluffing off in a time when the […]
One World Order
There is only ONE good and lasting world order, JESUS! (The following prophesy is of Jesus ruling the world someday, the TRUE and EVERLASTING one world government! There is an evil and temporary one being proposed by politicians now.) Psalm 2:7-8 The LORD said to me, “You are my Son. Today I have become your […]
Two
2 choices, serve the devil or serve the Lord. Matt 22:40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Two can be combined or mixed. We just went over the 2 commandments which were basically the same. Salt water and fresh water mix, making all […]
I Was Wrong
Genesis 33:4 But Esau ran to meet Jacob and embraced him; he threw his arms around his neck and kissed him. And they wept. It is always really important to stay in the word. I just noticed this. I always thought Esau blew it forever when he sold his birthright for some soup. Sure sounded […]
Dry
Leviticus 7:10 And every meat offering, mingled with oil, and dry, shall all the sons of Aaron have, one as much as another. Our lives as a true believer in Jesus Christ are an offering. Just as we are, God accepts our offerings. He accepts our mercy to others, and what we know about Him […]
Tell
Psalm 78:3 We will not hide them from their children, but tell to the coming generation the glorious deeds of the Lord, and his might, and the wonders that he has done We are here to tell our story. That’s all the primitive church had. They told their ‘story’ as they were fleeing persecution. Their […]
4000 Weeks
Genesis 2:1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. 2. And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. 3. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: […]
Follower
Who are you following? Ephesians 5:1 Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children; 2 And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour. fol·low·er – an adherent or devotee of a particular person, cause, or […]
Pain
PAIN CAN BE A GOOD THING! Lament John 16:20Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy. A very dear friend and mentor asked me to elaborate on my take on complaining in the […]
Princess
Anyone who is saved is a child of the King of Kings *Disclaimer, computer’s still in shop, please forgive the quality of this missive* Life and death is in the power of the tongue…. God God spoke, and it was….As a man thinketh in his heart so is he……. What is in our heart comes […]
Sustainable
If it isn’t sustainable it probably isn’t from God Ecclesiastes 7:8 – Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit. *Disclaimer, computer’s still in shop, please forgive the quality of this missive* As of 0000, 01 Jan 2022 millions of […]
Plan
Proverbs 12:20 Deceit is in the heart of those who devise evil, but those who plan peace have joy. People think they sound spiritual when they say ‘make God laugh by telling Him your plans’. That’s wrong Thinking. God wants us to plan! god doesn’t laugh at plans. Even thePlans made by people who […]

Will
Psalm 9 KJV I will praise thee, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy marvelous works. I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise. We are going into the new year. A good time to change yourself. Start a yearly Bible reading plan. Get back to […]
Influence
Matthew 5:13-16“You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt has become tasteless, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled under foot by men. “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be […]
Replace
Habakkuk 2:16 The cup of wine in the Lord’s right hand is coming to you, and disgrace will replace your majestic glory! Replace is a scary word. When someone replaces you at work, you usually are unemployed. Also, to me, it seems that replacing something often refers trading down for less. For example, people seek […]
Obededom
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.” Obededom was from Gath. Gath was a city in Philistine. Philistine and Israel were and are always at war. People from Gath were called […]
Voodoo
Mark 16:17 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. That verse is talking about us. Nothing has changed since the Bible days, except us, and our faith. Voodoo is a reality in Nicaragua. Personally, […]
James
Jesus’ little brother! James 1:27 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world. ‘James the Just’ was Jesus’ little brother. Can you imagine growing up in that environment?? James had a unique understanding of Jesus, […]
Healing
Everyone believes in healing! Jeremia17:14 Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise. When someone wants to tell you in the future that they don’t believe in healing, ask them if they ever skinned their knee. If they say yes, ask them […]
MIRACLES
Just because you don´t believe in supernatural miracles doesn’t mean that they don´t happen! We live in an age of supernatural miracles!Miracles It is impossible to be a true believer and not believe in miracles. Hebrews 2:4 God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the […]
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 […]
