The Bright Side of Life. . .

Wanna Go To Heaven?

2011-05-15T20:28:00.000-07:00

The Bible says there is only one way to Heaven

Jesus said: "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father but by me."

(John 14:6)

Good works CANNOT save you.

"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast."

(Ephesians 2:8-9)

Trust Jesus Christ today!

Here's what you must do:

1. Admit you are a sinner.

"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;"

(Romans 3:23)

"Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:"

(Romans 5:12)

"If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us."

(1 John 1:10)

2. Be willing to turn from sin (repent).

Jesus said: "I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish."

(Luke 13:5)

"And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:"

(Acts 17:30)

3. Believe that Jesus Christ died for you, was buried, and rose from the dead.

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

(John 3:16)

"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners. Christ died for us."

(Romans 5:8)

"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved."

(Romans 10:9)

4. Through prayer, invite Jesus into your life to become your personal Saviour.

"For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."

(Romans 10:10)

"For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."

(Romans 10:13)

What to pray:

Dear God, I am a sinner and need forgiveness. I believe that Jesus Christ shed His precious blood and died for my sins. I am willing to turn from sin. I now invite Christ to come into my heart and life as my personal Saviour.

"But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even t o them that believe on his name:"

(John 1:12)

"Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new."

(2 Corinthians 5:17)

If you have received Jesus Christ as your Saviour, as a Christian you should:

1. Read your Bible every day to get to know Christ better.

"Stufy to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth."

(2 Timothy 2:15)

"Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path."

(Psalms 119:105)

2. Talk to God in prayer every day.

"And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing ye shall receive."

(Matthew 21:22)

"Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God."

(Phillippians 4:6)

3. Be baaptized, worship, fellowship, and serve with other Christians in a church where Christ is preached and the Bible is the final authority.

"Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name if the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:"

(Matthew 28:19)

"Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching."

(Hebrews 10:25)

"All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:"

(2 Timothy 3:16)

4. Tell others about Christ.

"And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature."

(Mark 16:15)

"For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yeah, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel!"

(1 Corinthians 9:16)

"For I am not shamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek."

(Romans 1:16)

Don't keep him waiting.........

Oh Brother.. (Best Friends Part 1)

Hello!

This post here.. is dedicated to my big brother Milo :)

He is one of the most amazing peeps in my life, I think anyone that knows him would agree, he is such an awesome poi-son!

He is not just a "brother" he's more like a friend.... a BEST friend.. =)

He is 5 years older than me, and growing up, we were always close, we were kind of like partners in crime..

I remember when we would play with cars in the sandbox when I was around 3 years old, I vividly remember making a sand hill, and calling it "Morgan Hill" cause that was where our dads work route was haha..

How sad was I when I discovered Morgan Hill, CA wasn't a hill at all.. hahaha.

So as we got older there was a period of time where we didn't hang out as often... he was busy being a teenager and I was busy being a kid.. :p During my junior year in highschool, that changed, and we were PIC's.

It seemed like we had our craziest little adventures in a car...

-flat tires-

-vehicle vandalism (I guess we pissed a hobo off)-

-a fender bender-

-feeding the poor... xD-

-and of course, "eeking"-

to name a few...

we've had some very good times, and gazillions of laughs.

I suppose it's safe to say he's been the "father figure" in my life.. He's taught me so much and for that I am eternally grateful.

One of the greatest life changing things he's ever done for me, was re-introduce me to God..

You see me and God, never had a relationship, even though we grew up as J-dubs, (which is a whole other post) I never knew God, I learned a few things about the guy... but not much, nor did I really care to know..

After about 8 years of NOTHINGNESS, (the gap from J-dubbin to now) My brother became a Christian, and almost immediately I noticed a change in him. He was so much happier.. it was even kinda weird.. haha. He invited us to his church, and he made it very clear that he didn't want to force it on us, it was simply an invitation.. The first time I went to church with him, I was out the night before till about 4 AM.. so halfway through it I became insanely drowsy and I left the church and waited in the car... (fail)

THEN, something amazing happened, I went with him to see the Kings Kids on St. Patty's day, and The guitarist, Josh, told a little story that touched my soul, and changed my life forever, I swear! That was when my hunger to know God started,..

A year later I am now a Christian, Thanks to my brother for planting the seed of faith,., =]]]]

which is the greatest thing he could and will have ever given me.

I am so blessed to have such a cool, talented brother.

He's the guy that taught me bad words when we were kids, (LoL) and now, he's taught me and still teaches me the word of God. Thanks for saving my life bro! :D (win)

one of my favorite things about him is he stands for truth, he will always keep it real, honest, and POW in your face with ze TRUTH!

I could go on and on about how cool the guy is,,.. but I won't haha

I'll end this by saying that he is an amazing:

Brother

Son

Husband

Father

Friend

Musician

An amazing everything

I wish everyone had a brother like him :)

Here he is back when he was the singer of Wasted Noise

And here he is drumming for The Kings Kids

(the band he is in now)

Enjoy!

Brothers are the best!!

Whats your brother like? =)

Hello Blog..

So I am a newbie to this blogging deal..

anywho, i'd like to share a few things.. with myself i suppose, being that no one will read this.. =P

I wonder now if any of my friends have a blogger account...hmmm..

So, I recently decided that i want to give screen printing a try.. well, actually it was heat pressing at first

but then the thought of me working with something that heats up soo frickin hot would end in

something quite disasterous. So THATS when i decided screen printing was the way to go..

A relative and friend both told me about the "amazing" YUDU... so i looked into it..

watched videos online and it seemed pretty rad so i bought one at Michaels.. yep $330 somethin dollars...

I tried it once and it was ok.. i had it for about 2 weeks.. when i realized that big hunk of plastic was too expensive... i had doubts about keeping it...Also, the fact that the supplies are very expensive and hard to find i was beginning to be very annoyed by this YUDU...

i was browsing the net and came across the hobby kit on www.silkscreeningsupplies.com and I heard angels singing and harps being strummed hehe. I knew that was the kit for me..

I actually upgraded to the hobby kit plus.. this was $100 bucks cheaper than the YUDU

and came with waaay more supplies, that of a professional..

so all in all the YUDONT is whack...

my kit just got here the day before yesterday and I can't wait till i have a full day off so I

can play with it. :)
