The Reason For My Faith

A Journey To Bethlehem

What I’m going to write will upset a lot of people, especially Christians who have bought into the lie that we, not God, have rightful control of our reproductive systems. We do this by claiming God cannot bless us if we have too many children. However, when we live as He tells us to, then He will supply us with all we need. Sadly, the faith of most Christians is so weak that they don’t believe in God’s promises. God tells us to trust in Him, and He will bless us. One of the ways we show how much faith we have in God is to give Him complete control of our reproduction system.

Ruth Notes & Outlines

Please join me in my new study in the book of Ruth.
Ruth is a poignant story of faithless disobedience, that leads to death, sorrow, bitterness, and then loyalty and finally redemption. It’s my prayer that you will realize that if an inconspicuous Moabite peasant woman could achieve royalty for her descendants in Israel, then anyone can gain Salvation.

Get on the Man Scale

Ken Graves, the senior pastor of Calvary Chapel Bangor ME, offers up his opinion of the, “Man Scale”. Ken’s scale has men like Mr Rogers on one end, and men like to Mr T on the other end. His advice to all men is to get on the man scale and be a man. So, are you some place between Mr Rogers and Mr T? If not, then you better look to God through Christ to find out where you are lacking, because God wants all men to be men.

Did Jesus Truly Say,
“I Will Build My Church Upon Peter?”

The Catholic Church has been making a mockery of Scripture for many years. There are many beliefs the Catholic Church holds that I have problems with, but for now I will explain why they are wrong in their interpretation that Peter is the rock upon which Christ has built His church.

  • God’s Not Dead

    “God is Dead” was proclaimed by Nietzsche in the Nineteenth century. He was an atheist for his adult life and by his statement, he wasn’t saying that there was a God who had actually died, rather that our idea of one had. He believed that men wouldn’t be able to handle a world without a…

Hi, my name is Jose, and I asked Jesus into my heart in 1992 and have been walking with Him, not always faithful, but by His grace still walking. I have been married for 29 years, and have 3 kids and 7 grandkids. I have played worship music at Main Place Christian Fellowship, Living Hope Friends Church and 12 years at Calvary Chapel Lakewood. I have taught a few sermons and have written a daily devotional in the past. I currently post a scripture and a small statement with picture to help encourage and have people think.

My Book “Sleuthing The Scriptures”

In my book I added many commentaries I have written over the years. Many are posted here, but in the book I go into more detail. These are topics I have dove deeply into for the purpose of helping others understand GOD’s Word. It has long been my passion to open up the Scriptures and explain them in a way most Christians can understand. Too often theologians write in a way that only seminary students and other theological professors can grasp.

Many who have read my work, understand that I try to write in such a way that it makes it easier for Christians who are still drinking milk to understand. I try my best to explain things in a way where the reader will not need a lexicon or dictionary handy to understand what I am conveying. If something needs a deeper explanation, I will do so with proper notes to help bring the point to a solid understandable conclusion.
