Pastor Raul Granillo: Christianity 101

By Pastor RAUL GRANILLO
Los Alamos

Christianity 101.

“I will sing of your love and justice; to you, LORD, I will sing praise” (Ps. 101: 1).

I was reminded this week, by a new friend, that the simplicity of the Bible is the most powerful means of bringing life into this world. Too often we overcomplicate what God says or what Christianity is supposed to be about. We may get hung up in how to attract new people to our church and forget that all the world really needs is for us to live Christ-like lives.

The 101st Psalm is a great message of the simplicity of Christian living. Within this short work of David, you Read More

Pastor Raul Granillo: Seeking God

Pastor Raul Granillo
Los Alamos

Seeking God.

“O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water.” (Psalm 63:1 NIV).

When was the last time you earnestly sought something? For some it may have been a certain person that they found themselves attracted to. For others, it may have been that desperately needed new job. Maybe you just sought after a friendship. Or perhaps you simply find yourself earnestly seeking happiness in your life. We all find ourselves seeking after something at one point or another.

Pastor Raul Granillo: Looking To The Father

By Pastor RAUL GRANILLO
Los Alamos
 
Looking to the Father.

“Fatherhood is a vocation in God’s service, to be not held lightly or frivolously, but with the serious determination of serious men.” –Father Lawrence Lovasik

The first time I held my oldest child, I was absolutely overwhelmed. I suddenly realized that another human being would be directly affected by anything that I did. This precious little girl was completely dependent upon others to provide her with food, protection and love. I was determined to do just that. I was convinced that my love for her would guarantee that I would succeed Read More
