Great websites and great pastors.

Do you like preachings? Well you're going to like this blog. The purpose of this post is to share with you Pastors and websites that I greatly benefit from. They are Gospel-soaked preachers that preach great Biblical truths and seek to glorify God. You can listen to their sermons on their website or by searching for them on iTunes for their free podcast.

Pastors and their website with sermons and blogs:

There's more but this would be a very long post, lol. But on my next post I will let you know which blogs and other ministries that God has used to draw me closer to Him and to know Him more. So which pastor/s do you listen to?


Verse of the blog;
"Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you blameless before the presence of His glory with great joy, to the only God, our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen." - Jude 24-25

The Holiday Season is among us!!!

This is truly my favorite time of the year. Starting from Oct to Jan is what I look most forward too, but this year it's extra special because not only is my child coming in these months but I also get to spend it with my parents.

I moved to California over a year ago and I can honestly say this has been one of my favorite years. This was a year that I found my home church(with the best Pastors a guy can have & lots of new bros and sis'), found out my wife was pregnant, and moved into our own house. Pretty sweet huh?

I know that the one that I have to thank is my Lord and Savior Jesus, He is faithful.

Father's Day.

Well it's been awhile since I've posted anything up and I know that all of you were desperately waiting for my next post. Haha!!

Well since I've last posted I have some pretty huge news, I will be a practicing Father around Jan 15th (means that my wife is pregnant!!) I'm so excited about it. It's a weird feeling knowing that there's gonna be a kid that has some of your feature and attitudes (hopefully more like my wife's! Lol) but he/she will be depending on us for love, care and protection. It's an awesome and scary thought but I know that all is well because I have a great wife and a great God that will always be with me. Until next time.

Happy Father's Day!! God bless you.

Verse of the blog:
In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory.- Eph 1:13-14

What does Justified Rebel mean?

For those of you who do know me, I am sure that me coming up with a name like this doesn't surprise you. But I will explain it for those who don't.

The word Justified come from the theological term meaning that every human being on earth is unrighteous including me. The only human to live and be completely perfectly righteous was the God-Man Jesus Christ. Now when He died He took on the Wrath from God that was for sinners like you and me and when we come to believe and trust in Christ then we recieve His Righteousness. In short, Jesus took the wrath of His people and His people put on His Righteousness meaning we are now Justified.

The word Rebel should be easier to explain, lol. Well as the Bible us that we are rebellious in nature because since we are in darkness we hate the Light which is Christ. But since I am now saved by the Grace of God, I can I rebel against the worlds standards and desire by the power of the Holy Spirit for the Glory of Jesus Christ.

Don't think now that I am super strong or that I claim to be perfect. But with God's help I can resist temptation more then fall for it. I thank God everyday for His new mercies.

Verse of the Blog
" There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus"- Romans 8:1

Soli Deo Gloria

Purpose

Well I'm in the blogging world now which is pretty exciting. My purpose of this is to share thoughts about God to what gave me a stomach ache ( The sky is the limit, lol ). But mostly is to provide a place where I can grow in Christian maturity and maybe help people along the way. So welcome to my small little world of .... In a Rebel's mind.
