Fr. Glenn: The Best Policy
By Rev. Glenn JonesWhen I was in the Marines, one trait that was pounded into our “brain housing groups” was the virtue of integrity.
Integrity…honesty…truthfulness…trustworthiness; these are essential especially in combat situations because lives are on the line, and so these virtues were insisted upon also in training and daily life. Even in training situations, if someone tries to cover a fault or failure by lying, it could cascade quickly into losing Marines. The insistence upon integrity was so adamant that I recall vividly one officer Read More

Pastor Granillo: Talented Servers
By Pastor Raul GranilloAll who are skilled among you are to come and make everything the LORD has commanded. (Exodus 35:10 NIV)
I received a gift this week from a local artisan. I was looking for a functional and elegant communion goblet; something nice that also said “New Mexico” with a hint of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. The cottonwood goblet that he made was absolutely perfect. Upon seeing it, it became quite obvious to me that this person had a gift that many of us do not have. His love of wood and artistic hand are truly gifts and talents given by God. What really stood

Fr. Glenn: Guilty!
By Rev. Glenn JonesYou know … guilt gets quite the bad rap. And “sin”? Hooo-boy! … don’t even bring THAT one up. That’ll make you persona non grata even in many Christian circles these days. But what IS sin? … that bugaboo word that even Christians in our day often disdain to utter? It is a short sharp word often ridiculed … yet certainly not by Jesus and the apostles, who spoke of sin often.
For us Christians, sin can be simply defined primarily as the purposeful departure from the will and teaching of God, and therefore from the Read More
Pastor Granillo: Healing Hatred
By Pastor Raul GranilloAll my friends are heathens, take it slow
Wait for them to ask you who you know
Please don’t make any sudden moves
You don’t know the half of the abuse – 21 Pilots, “Heathen”
Every person in this world has a narrative. We all have a story about who we are, where we came from, and what we have gone through to get to where we are. Each person would be rightfully hurt if another were to presume what their story was, or presume where they come from or what they have been through. Every person in this world has a narrative—it is the story, Read More

Fr. Glenn: One People Under God
By Rev. Glenn JonesThis last week we were treated to yet another example of the truth of scripture—that “there is nothing new under the sun.” (Ecclesiastes 1:9) The wall-to-wall coverage about the Charlottesville and subsequent protests and counter-protests reminded of the riots of the 60’s and 70’s. Sigh. Perhaps the birthing pains of eventually moving toward a more civilized society, we can only hope.
Predictably, there were myriad reactions over the Charlottesville protests and events. One wonders whether simply ignoring groups

Youth Helping Refugee Youth Drive Huge Success

Statement From La Vista ChurchThe ideologies of any organization or individual that claim the superiority of race over another is absolutely incompatible with the message of the Christian Bible.
Racism is an abhorrent sin against humanity and God. Entities such as the KKK, white nationalists, neo-Nazi’s, or other such racist organizations are evil and in complete opposition to the Christian Bible.
You can be racist. You can be a Christian. You cannot be both. Read More

Pastor Granillo: Commitment Part 2
By Pastor Raul Granillo
The secret of a good sermon is to have a good beginning and a good ending, then having the two as close together as possible. –George Burns
As a pastor, I understand the importance of the economy of words; I think that most pastors do. We realize that we only have a limited amount of time to convey an infinitely important biblical message. (No pressure!) For most people, the adage is correct and the mind can only absorb what the seat can endure. This, of course, presents a challenge for the preacher—how to pack the most bang into a message Read More
