Dealing with Difficult People in the World and Handling it as a Christian

Dealing with Difficult People in the World and Handling it as a Christian

Blog, Daily Life
Life is full of unpredictable encounters, and sometimes, they are far from pleasant. I live in Lima, Peru, it is a city that thrives on chaos, disorder, constant noise, imprudence, informality, etc.. and it can be very frustrating as a Christian. One such situation recently occurred during a morning walk with my dog which is a regular thing for me and I pray every morning to the Lord that we are safe as sometimes things can happen with the world and people not living for Jesus but for there own egos, narcicism, chaos, there own Gods, there greed, etc.. etc.. typical Lima. So in this case, this typical morning walk turned into a bit of frustrating experience within a second acually with an imprudent neighbor. This incident not only tested…

Why You Need to Be Fully Armed — At Work, in Life, and Against the Enemy Imagine stepping into a battlefield in nothing but pajamas — completely vulnerable, defenseless, and unprepared.

Overcoming Toxic Family Attacks: A Spiritual Battle and How to Stand Firm in Christ

Overcoming Toxic Family Attacks: A Spiritual Battle and How to Stand Firm in Christ

Blog, Daily Life, Spiritual Growth
Navigating relationships with toxic family members can be one of the most challenging trials for a believer. When manipulation, lies, and betrayal become a pattern, it is essential to recognize that these are not just personal or emotional issues — they are spiritual battles. Many people find themselves caught in cycles of abuse, deception, and psychological warfare at the hands of their own relatives. As Christians, we must learn how to identify these attacks, protect ourselves spiritually, and stand firm in our faith without being drawn into the enemy’s schemes. 1. Recognizing the Enemy’s Attacks Through Family For many believers, the hardest battles come not from strangers, but from those who should be our closest supporters — our family. Some individuals experience: False accusations — Being unjustly blamed for actions never…

Overcoming Fear and Walking in God’s Authority: A Go-To Guide for Christians in Dangerous Times

Overcoming Fear and Walking in God’s Authority: A Go-To Guide for Christians in Dangerous Times

Blog, Daily Life, Spiritual Growth
Living in a world filled with violence, crime, and uncertainty can be overwhelming. It’s natural to feel fear when you constantly hear of killings, corruption, and danger all around you. Especially when you live in a country that has corrupt governments which don’t help but are part of the problem. This can be a drain for citizen’s to constantly watch on the news horrible stories of criminals taking control of the streets and commiting horrible acts to innocent people. But as Christians, we are not powerless — God has given us authority, protection, and strength to overcome fear and stand firm in His promises. One of the most powerful verses to hold onto in times of fear is Luke 10:19: “Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power…

When the Light Hurts: Navigating a Secular Workplace as a Christian

When the Light Hurts: Navigating a Secular Workplace as a Christian

Daily Life, Technology
There’s a subtle shift that often goes unspoken when someone becomes a follower of Christ, one that changes how we experience the world around us, especially in the workplace. For many Christians working in secular industries, particularly in fields like tech, media, or corporate settings, there comes a moment when you realize: “I don’t feel at home here anymore.” This isn’t just about office politics or stress. It’s deeper. It’s the awareness of egos clashing, deceit being rewarded, narcissism being normalized, and competition overshadowing integrity. It’s the sinking feeling that things that once seemed normal now feel… off. And for Christians who are told to “love your enemies” and “bless them that curse you,” this inner conflict can be incredibly disorienting. This seems to be happening to me now more and…

The Hidden Trap of Secular Bible Documentaries: A Warning for Christians

The Hidden Trap of Secular Bible Documentaries: A Warning for Christians

Blog, News & Discernment
Whle browsing around Yout Tube with my wife recently looking for a nice Christian documentary to enjoy, we stumbled into this one. It looked interesting and since we are big fans of documentaries and offcourse our love for Jesus Christ, that seemed like a nice watch to enjoy. Little did we know we were wrong. While watching this so called “documentary” Bible Secrets Revealed from the History Channel, we started to notice the narrative of the people in the videos, these so called scholars who started to make comments about the Gospel, New and Old Testament that didn’t really make sense in truth. The reason I say this is because we have been recently very heavily involved in studying Christian Apologetics so we know by now, along with our deep…

The Danger of Self-Love: Deny Yourself and Follow Christ

The Danger of Self-Love: Deny Yourself and Follow Christ

Blog, Daily Life, Spiritual Growth
In today’s world, we are constantly told to believe in ourselves, to love ourselves above all, and to put our desires first. This message is everywhere — in self-help books, social media, and even popular culture. However, as followers of Christ, we must ask: Is this the message that God teaches us? The Word of God provides a very different instruction — one of self-denial, trust in Him, and total devotion to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. The First Commandment: Love God Above All Jesus made it clear that our first and greatest commandment is to love God with all our heart, soul, and mind: “Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy…

The New Testament: Apologetics’ Greatest Weapon for Defending the Faith

The New Testament: Apologetics’ Greatest Weapon for Defending the Faith

Apologetics, Blog
In a world filled with skepticism, spiritual confusion, and constant questions about truth, few things are more powerful in defending Christianity than this fact: The New Testament is the best-preserved and most-attested document in all of ancient history. That’s not a religious slogan — it’s a historical reality. And it changes the way we respond to some of the most pressing doubts people have today about the Bible, Jesus, and the Christian faith. In this post, we’ll unpack why this is such a cornerstone of Christian apologetics — and why you can trust the New Testament not just theologically, but historically.   Why It Matters in Apologetics Christian apologetics isn’t about winning arguments — it’s about removing obstacles to faith by providing truth with grace and reason. And one of the most common…

Defending the Faith: Solid Arguments for God’s Existence and the Truth of Christianity

Defending the Faith: Solid Arguments for God’s Existence and the Truth of Christianity

Apologetics, Blog
In a world filled with skepticism, atheism, and relativism, Christians are increasingly challenged to defend their faith. Many unbelievers ask, “How do you know God exists? Where is your proof? Why would a good God allow evil?” These are not new questions, but they deserve clear, biblical, and rational answers. This article presents solid arguments for the existence of God and the truth of Christianity, equipping believers to stand firm and speak boldly. 1. The Universe Demands a Creator (Cosmological Argument) Everything that begins to exist must have a cause. The universe began to exist, as even science confirms through the Big Bang theory. Therefore, the universe must have a cause that is outside of time, space, and matter. That cause must be eternal, powerful, and intelligent. The Bible affirms:…

The Battle for Truth: Reflections from a Protestant Evangelical Christian on Today’s Bookstores

The Battle for Truth: Reflections from a Protestant Evangelical Christian on Today’s Bookstores

Blog, News & Discernment
While walking past a well-known bookstore during the Mother’s Day season, I stopped to look at their front window display with my wife. Dozens of books, colorful and full of emotional messages, were proudly showcased. But as I examined the content with spiritual discernment, what I saw was deeply troubling: a clear and growing spiritual deception in our modern culture. God without Christ. Faith without the Cross. False Light in Plain Sight. One book caught my eye: “New Scientific Evidence of the Existence of God” by José Carlos González-Hurtado. As a committed Evangelical Protestant Christian, I initially hoped it might be similar to books by Lee Strobel or J. Warner Wallace — books that defend the Christian faith with clarity and boldness. I bought it with that expectation. Also with the excitement…
