By Pastor RAUL GRANILLO“Hope in reality is the worst of all evils because it prolongs the torments of man.” – Friedrich Nietzsche
In a godless world, this would be true. In a godless world, there would truly be no purpose for life. If you lived and then died, upon your death nothing else would matter and so your life would have made no lasting difference.
If you were never born, it still wouldn’t matter because there was no real purpose for your existence to affect. Certainly the godless world can invent a purpose, say to affect the future; but for what reason? When you really think about Read More

Staff Report
The Northern New Mexico Revival Center (NNMRC) continues to settle in to its relatively new space at 134-A N.M. 4 in White Rock.
The NNMRC is orthodox with respect to Christian theology and doctrine, but takes a non-traditional approach to “church” in both organization and practice. They normally meet at 4 p.m. Sundays for worship, teaching, fellowship, discussion, personal ministry – or even the unexpected – as the Holy Spirit leads, and at 6:30 p.m. Fridays Read More
Pastor Granillo: Applied Wisdom
By PASTOR GRANILLOWe all know that every day, life happens. It happens in our homes, in our work, with our relationships, in our school, with our health, with everything that we know—life happens. And as life happens we are forced to make decisions that we know will impact the rest of how life happens.
How often have we made a decision just hoping we don’t mess things up worse than they already are? None of us want to make bad decisions, but all too often we do; and so we seek wisdom in various places, hoping to find the secret to good decision making.
Wisdom is how we think our knowledge should Read More

Pastor Granillo: Fearless Love
By Pastor RAUL GRANILLOHave you ever wondered what it would be like to love fearlessly? By that, I mean to love without the fears of disappointment, betrayal, rejection, or anything else that could hinder or prevent love.
Being open to love is scary because we know that it makes us vulnerable. And we know that people are capable of hurting us if we don’t set up guards—guards that protect us from getting hurt by others, but that can also prevent us from reaching out.
I spend a week every year at a youth camp, helping teens work through the everyday issues of life. And it seems like every year teens Read More

Faith & Science: Everyone who accepts the Hebrew Scriptures as revealed truth believes in intelligent design of the universe and its inhabitants. But, what is this Intelligent Design (ID) Theory?
To its proponents, a few scientists and groups in the UK and US, it’s a scientific conclusion and method based on observations and logical deductions. To its detractors, including many scientists of faith and a Pennsylvania court, it’s not science and does not belong in science classrooms. This talk will explore these points of view and encourage each person to decide Read More
Pastor Granillo: Connectivity
By Pastor RAUL GRANILLOI noticed a sign this week that reads, “Everything in life is connected!” I believe that to be a true statement, and I think most people would agree.
We are all connected to each other through many channels including family, work, or school. Today social media has ensured that we are connected or connectable to anyone anywhere. Of course the sign implies a deeper connection than just everyday relationships; it reminds us that our lives intersect with the lives of others and all of creation in countless ways that we may never see but exist all the same.
I find it curious Read More
Pastor Granillo: Freedom To Live
By Pastor RAUL GRANILLO“Do you have any regrets?”
I can’t tell you how many times I have been asked that question. I hear it asked of people all the time. We seem to be very interested in how people feel about their choices. And why not? After all, how they feel about a choice they’ve made helps us decide if it a path is worth the effort or not.
For the longest time when asked, I would always answer, “No, of course not. My decisions created the path that got me where I am.” (I think this is the most common answer I hear from others.) Today when I consider my past before I met Christ, I look at it more holistically Read More
