  • Do you like giving advice or help people? Listen to this. Episode #16

    We live in a loud and confusing world. Have you ever looked around and cried? What can we do to improve our lives and the culture? Listen to this podcast if this is your desire.

    Are you backing your words with wisdom? If you are not living what you are saying, then your words are empty. I need to go to the spring everyday.

    Proverbs 2

    My son, if you accept my words

    and store up my commands within you,
    turning your ear to wisdom
    and applying your heart to understanding—
    indeed, if you call out for insight
    and cry aloud for understanding,
    and if you look for it as for silver
    and search for it as for hidden treasure,
    then you will understand the fear of the Lord
    and find the knowledge of God.
    For the Lord gives wisdom;
    from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.
    He holds success in store for the upright,
    he is a shield to those whose walk is blameless,
    for he guards the course of the just
    and protects the way of his faithful ones.

    Then you will understand what is right and just

    and fair—every good path.
    For wisdom will enter your heart,
    and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul.
    Discretion will protect you,
    and understanding will guard you.

    Wisdom will save you from the ways of wicked men,

    from men whose words are perverse,
    who have left the straight paths
    to walk in dark ways,
    who delight in doing wrong
    and rejoice in the perverseness of evil,
    whose paths are crooked
    and who are devious in their ways.

    Wisdom will save you also from the adulterous woman,

    from the wayward woman with her seductive words,
    who has left the partner of her youth
    and ignored the covenant she made before God.
    Surely her house leads down to death
    and her paths to the spirits of the dead.
    None who go to her return
    or attain the paths of life.

    Thus you will walk in the ways of the good

    and keep to the paths of the righteous.
    For the upright will live in the land,
    and the blameless will remain in it;
    but the wicked will be cut off from the land,
    and the unfaithful will be torn from it.

  • My grandmother died on December 6th, 2019, I was happy and sad. Episode #15

    The holidays can be tough. Death is a fact of life and we have to face sadness. My grandmother died on December 6th, 2019. I do not have any living grandparents left.

    My previous three grandparents knew Jesus for most of their lives. My grandmother that passed last year was stubborn. She didn't want Jesus, then she took a fall. She was in bad health and  soon would die.  God humbled her and she repented before Jesus.

    All my grandparents are in heaven now. I want to encourage all the believers to keep praying for your loved that don't know Jesus. There is hope 'til they die.

    If you don't know Jesus, you don't know when you will die. Is hell worth it for sin?

    Psalm 116:15 says, "Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints."

  • Do good people go to hell? Episode #14

    Are we good people that don't deserve hell? I know that some of you don't believe in the Bible or God, but play with me. Are you good people that don't deserve hell?

    You just died and you are talking to to God. You say to God that you are a good person. Let us dive in.

    First Commandment: "You shall have no other gods before me?"

    If we put anything over God, then we have broken this Commandment.

    Third Commandment: "You shall not take the name of God in vain."

    We all have used God's name in a bad way.

    Fifth Commandments: Honor your father and your mother."

    We have been monsters towards our parents.

    Sixth Commandment: "You shall not murder."

    You think that you are safe. If you have hated someone in your heart, then you have murder.

    Jesus said, "Everyone who is angry with his brother shall be guilty before the court....and whoever says, 'You fool,' shall be guilty enough to go into the fiery hell."

    Seventh Commandments: "You shall not commit adultery."

    Jesus said:

    "You have heard that it was said, 'You Shall not commit adultery'; but I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lust for her already committed adultery with her in his heart."

    Read romance novels or looked at porn. You are in trouble.

    Ninth Commandment:  "You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor."

    Have you lied? We all had.

    We deserve hell, so read the book of Romans in the Bible.

  • Is there a God? Is it really important? Episode #13

    Is there issues for not believing in God? If we reject Genesis 1:1-2 says, "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.  Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters."

    If you are person says there is no God, then I have to show you these words. Psalm 14:1 says, "The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, their deeds are vile;

    there is no one who does good."  The sinful nature will rule if a person believes there is no God by bad science or a bad desire. God can clean the desire of people. Repent from your sins and follow Jesus.

    I have few words for you. The culture like the idea of no God because God is not there. Sex outside of marriage is fine without the God of the Bible. This causes issues in the family and future families.

    Evolutionism is racist. Charles Darwin wrote in 1881: "The more civilized so-called Caucasian races have beaten the Turkish hollow in the struggle for existence. Looking to the world at very distant date, what an endless number of the lower races will have been eliminated by the higher civilized races throughout the world."

    Darwin attempted to persuade followers that "the chief distinction in the intellectual powers of the two sexes is shewn by man's attaining to higher eminence, in whatever he takes up, that can woman-whether requiring deep thoughts, reason, or imagination, or merely the use of the senses and hands....We  may also infer...the average mental power in man must be above that of woman."

  • There is trouble in the United States. Are we free? Episode #12

    The United States are in trouble. I don't know where you live but is your country in trouble.

    Israel was following the Lord then got tempted by sin. The sin got them in God's judgement.

    May the church repent from their sins and follow God. Revival starts with the church. If believers are not following God, then the world will not follow God.

    Lamentations 1:1-22.

  • Do you want the meaningless life? Episode #11

    Do you want the meaningless? Many people will go down this road.

    If you reject Jesus, then you will have a meaningless life. If you have accepted Jesus, but not following Jesus. That person has a meaningless life.

    Ecclesiastes 1:1-11

    The words of the Teacher, son of David, king in Jerusalem: “Meaningless! Meaningless!”  says the Teacher. “Utterly meaningless! Everything is meaningless.” What do people gain from all their labors at which they toil under the sun? Generations come and generations go, but the earth remains forever. The sun rises and the sun sets, hurries back to where it rises. The wind blows to the south and turns to the north; round and round it goes, ever returning on its course. All streams flow into the sea, yet the sea is never full. To the place the streams come from, there they return again. All things are wearisome, more than one can say. The eye never has enough of seeing, nor the ear its fill of hearing. What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun. Is there anything of which one can say, “Look! This is something new”? It was here already, long ago; it was here before our time. No one remembers the former generations, and even those yet to come will not be remembered by those who follow them."

  • Wisdom is calling, do you hear? Episode #10

    We long for wisdom. We read books, listen to podcasts and watch Netflix. We miss wisdom because we refuse to listen to God and the Bible. Your life will be sorry if you reject truth and think that you know better. Proverbs 1:20-33 talks about if wisdom had a personality. 

    Wisdom is calling out, the Holy Spirit is drawing mankind, do you want to hear truth?

    Proverbs 1:20-33

    Out in the open wisdom calls aloud,

    she raises her voice in the public square;
    top of the wall she cries out,
    at the city gate she makes her speech:

    “How long will you who are simple love your simple ways?

    How long will mockers delight in mockery
    and fools hate knowledge?
    Repent at my rebuke!
    Then I will pour out my thoughts to you,
    I will make known to you my teachings.
    But since you refuse to listen when I call
    and no one pays attention when I stretch out my hand,
    since you disregard all my advice
    and do not accept my rebuke,
    I in turn will laugh when disaster strikes you;
    I will mock when calamity overtakes you—
     when calamity overtakes you like a storm,
    when disaster sweeps over you like a whirlwind,
    when distress and trouble overwhelm you.

    “Then they will call to me but I will not answer;

    they will look for me but will not find me,
     since they hated knowledge
    and did not choose to fear the Lord.
    Since they would not accept my advice
    and spurned my rebuke,
     they will eat the fruit of their ways
    and be filled with the fruit of their schemes.
    For the waywardness of the simple will kill them,
    and the complacency of fools will destroy them;
    but whoever listens to me will live in safety
    and be at ease, without fear of harm.”

  • We live in a sick world, don't fall for lies! Episode #9

    We live in a sick world that lies are promoted. Many people don't have discernment. I will include many Born Again Christians. They lack the knowledge of the Bible and follow the world's idea. I want to be a God pleaser and not a man pleaser.

    Proverbs 1:10-19

    10 My son, if sinners entice you,

    Do not consent.
    11 If they say, “Come with us,
    Let us lie in wait for blood,
    Let us ambush the innocent without cause;
    12 Let us swallow them alive like Sheol,
    Even whole, as those who go down to the pit;
    13 We will find all kinds of precious wealth,
    We will fill our houses with spoil;
    14 Throw in your lot with us,
    We shall all have one purse,”
    15 My son, do not walk in the way with them.
    Keep your feet from their path,
    16 For their feet run to evil
    And they hasten to shed blood.
    17 Indeed, it is useless to spread the baited net
    In the sight of any bird;
    18 But they lie in wait for their own blood;
    They ambush their own lives.
    19 So are the ways of everyone who gains by violence;
    It takes away the life of its possessors.

  • Parents are important. Episode #8

    Parents are important. The family is important.  We need a biblically  view on marriage and the family.

    Proverbs 1:8-9

    Listen, my son, to your father’s instruction

    and do not forsake your mother’s teaching.
    They are a garland to grace your head
    and a chain to adorn your neck.
