By Pastor Raul GranilloLos Alamos
It should be of no surprise that the “true love” we have is our Creator who “so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him” (John 3:16-17).

Happy Holidays everyone!
As we slide into the remaining week of 2016, it’s time for pause and reflection.

While a lot of people want to speed ahead to Read More

The eight-day Jewish celebration known as Hanukkah or Chanukah commemorates the rededication during the second century B.C. of the Second Temple in Jerusalem, where according to legend Jews had risen up against their Greek-Syrian oppressors in the Maccabean Revolt.
Hanukkah, which means “dedication” in Hebrew, begins on the 25th of Kislev on the Hebrew calendar and usually falls in November or December. Often called the Festival of Lights, the holiday is celebrated with the lighting of the menorah, traditional foods, games and gifts.

By CARY NEEPERIn our family, Christmas included dogs. It started when my brother and I were told to “pull gently” on a long string the Christmas morning when I had just turned three years old. In waddled a black and gold ball of fluff paddling along on four stubby white legs. We called her Boots.

I’m sure of this because I have heard others express the same sentiment—that some actions even God cannot forgive. While it is true that we live in a world that generally believes some things are not only unforgiveable, but should be unforgivable, Read More
