God Saves Even When We Think We're UnSaveable

Saints aren't born saved, just like homosexuals aren't born gay. We all make choices. What is your choice?

Just a thought - Change

God doesn't make any mistakes

Poem by Russell Kelfer


You are who you are for a reason.

You're part of an intricate plan.

You're a precious and perfect unique design,

Called God's special woman or man.



You look like you look for a reason.

Our God made no mistake.

He knit you together within the womb,

You're just what He wanted to make.



The parents you had were the ones he chose,

And no matter how you may feel,

They were custom-designed with God's plan in mind,

And they bear the Master's seal.



No, that trauma you faced was not easy.

And God wept that it hurt you so;

But it was allowed to shape your heart

So that into his likeness you'd grow.



You are who you are for a reason,

You've been formed by the Master's rod.

You are who you are, beloved,

Because there is a God!

A Practical Nugget

The way to make a small task seem hard and stressful is by procrastinating.

God is all I need

Your all that I need
Each and everyday I pray that you will be right by my side
Guiding me through night to fight the good fight
Lord, when pressure is all around and burdens get me down
Your always there to pick me up
Set me on my feet and set my soul free
Oh Lord, Your all that I need.

I love you Lord!!

In Christ Alone

A Young Lion's Moment: Acceptance, Submission, and Trust

A moment in my life right now (6/15/11):

Sometimes the journey you want to travel is the journey that God is protecting you from.

The journey (or place) I wanted to be surrounded by and embrace was filled with things, people, and culture. My inner spiritual community is there, my favorite restaurant is there, a couple of "church homes" are there. BUT that place isn't where God wants me to be. What do I do? Do I force myself to make things happen so I can go where I want to go or do I accept, submit, and trust God to lead me where I need to be for His glory? The answer is obvious, but often times the flesh desires to fulfill itself.

Perhaps, because of my limited vision, I can't see the dangers of going where I want to go. Perhaps there are traps on that journey that may separate, hinder, and even stop me from living out the purpose of God. I must accept, submit and trust.

God is directing me on the right journey which will set me up for what He is calling me to do in life. It does get difficult sometimes, but I must be about His agenda rather than my own. I must accept, submit and trust.

~ A Young Lion's moment

This is a prayer that I often heard a preacher pray while growing up. It has now become my prayer:



"Lord use me up doing good and send me home when your done. In Jesus name, Amen"


I must accept, submit, and trust this:

For I know the plans I have for you," says the LORD. "They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:11 - New Living Translation

The journey has been hard, exciting, reality checking, and most importantly God glorifying. As I strive to glorify God, God honored me by allowing my journey to be a ministry and a sermon to many people who have witness me go through this journey in my life. I may write a book. :)


If God and I can team up to accomplish this great endeavor in the physical, imagine what we can do in the Spiritual. ~ Peace, The Young Lion

CHRISTianity above our HUMANity

The phrase “I’m a Christian” has become a cliché in many circle within society. It is my belief that the phrase stated above has lost its significance, uniqueness, and most importantly its radicalness. It is my opinion that the convenientness of our HUMANity has slipped into our CHRISTianity and encouraged a more convenient Christianity rather than a radical Christianity. Christianity radically goes against our humanity. When I speak in terms of humanity, I speak of the standards and basic lifestyles of the human race that goes against the standards and lifestyle of Christ.

For example: Our humanity repays evil for evil, whereas Christianity promotes non-violent and love in the midst of violence and hatred.

Though this is such an exhaustive topic, I desire to address and encourage the attitude Christians should have in a time where the sovereignty of humanity is promoted in the society.

Yes Bin Ladan reaped what he sowed. He sowed war, murder, hatred, etc; therefore he reaped and is reaping what he has sown.
While the world celebrates the defeat of Bin Ladan, Christians should never do such a thing. Christians should never rejoice when someone reaps what they have sown OUTSIDE of the grace of God. There is a big difference in reaping what you sowed being OUTSIDE of Christ than that of being INSIDE of Christ.

The Bible still says that “… God so loved the world…” A world that is filled with hatred, liars, murderers, adulterers, homosexuals, atheists, and really people like YOU and I. But,GOD STILL LOVES US!

“… that He gave His one and only Son…” God’s love presented a gift that goes way beyond the worldly tolerance of sin. Some maybe despise Bin Ladan, homosexuals, murderers, atheists, and people like you and I; however the gift and the ransom was still presented for ALL sinners.

“…that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life…” As dirty as all of us were, are, and will be – it is through the grace of God that salvation is possible. I know Bin Ladan didn’t honor Christ, perhaps he even cursed Christ; but if the love of God was presented and exemplify in his life, if he decided to repent from the RADICAL Islamic faith, and turn to Christ, I believe he would be my brother in Christ.

If he entered into Christ, does that mean he wouldn’t have to reap what he sowed? NO, not at all, but he would of reaped what he sowed IN CHRIST JESUS.

Therefore, Christians who are saved by grace through faith, should never rejoice when a sinful individual die outside of Christ, but should have a sense of sorrow that the individual chose to reject the gift of God.

Let us rise and live in our radical CHRISTianity so that we can be a blessing, a salt, and a light in a HUMAN-ity elevated society.

While HUMANity promotes hatred, CHRISTianity promote love
While HUMANity promotes revenge, CHRISTianity promote forgiveness
While HUMANity promotes hell for those who are outside of the world’s tolerance level, CHRISTianity promote God’s grace for the dirtiest sinner in the world.
While HUMANity promotes humans, CHRISTianity promotes CHRIST!

Peace ~ The Young Lion

Inspiring Poetry

I RISE UP for Jesus and take my place in this race. I STAND UP for Jesus because satan has already been defeated. If I fight alone, I'm just a weakling, but if I fight in Jesus I'm undefeated

I may not be where I need to be right now



But at least I have life right now to get it right – right now!
