| The very moment we depart from God is the very moment we fall into sin, death, confusion, and pain. (Read “We’ve forgotten God!”) |
| Jesus is Lord over all mankind! And, Jesus is Lord whether one believes it or not, knows it or not, and likes it or not. He was crucified and sacrificed for the sins of the world. He was buried and He resurrected from the dead after three days in the grave… and now He lives forevermore! His Lordship over all is not dependent upon your approval, your belief, or your acceptance of Him. I stress this because these days this truth does NOT need to be debated as much as it needs to be declared. And today, throughout the world, all faiths and beliefs can be categorized into one of two groups. Either 1) God is God, or 2) Man is God. For necessary clarification, when I mention God, I am referring to the God Who has a Son named Jesus. So, for the record, if anyone’s beliefs, philosophies, values, lifestyles, or truth-claims do not include the Word of God, it is godless. Hence, it’s humanism – man is God. And Humanism is everywhere, but Jesus is Lord! I submit: – History taught without God = Humanism (Man is God) – Politicians and political parties without God = Humanism (Man is God) – Judicial systems without God = Humanism (Man is God) – Laws and Policies without God = Humanism (Man is God) – Education systems without God = Humanism (Man is God) – Medical/Psychological systems without God = Humanism (Man is God) – Counseling without God = Humanism (Man is God) – Financial systems without God = Humanism (Man is God) – Businesses and Economies without God = Humanism (Man is God) – Communism, Socialism, Marxism, Capitalism without God = Humanism (Man is God) – Social media without God = Humanism (Man is God) – Podcasts (Andrew Tate, Myron Gaines) without God = Humanism (Man is God) – Celebrities (Actors/Singers/Musicians) without God = Humanism (Man is God) – Entertainment, Movies, Music, Books without God = Humanism (Man is God) – Sports/Athletes without God = Humanism (Man is God) – Churches without God = Humanism (Man is God) – Marriages without God = Humanism (Man is God) – Lives, Goals, Desires, Endeavors without God = Humanism (Man is God) (Read “Where is God in that _____?”) The globe is being drenched in godlessness! Even America, with her godly origins, has lost her way! It’s been said that, “People get the kind of government they deserve.” Read that again! This explains so much! Mankind is destined to make a mess of things. This is the inevitable and calculable consequences of humanism. Loss, pain, confusion, and death. This is what happens when man attempts to replace a perfect God. FYI! Spoiler alert! “Reveal Party” in the Bible! Someone else wanted to be God. His name is Lucifer. ▪(Isa 14:12) How you are fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How you are cut down to the ground—mighty though you were against the nations of the world. (vs.13) For you said to yourself, “I will ascend to heaven and rule the angels. I will take the highest throne. I will preside on the Mount of Assembly far away in the north. (vs.14) I will climb to the highest heavens and be like the Most High.” (vs.15) But instead, you will be brought down to the pit of hell, down to its lowest depths. Lucifer wanted to be like God and look how things turned out for him. Yet here we are, not just ignorant of God, but unabashedly rejecting God, thus choosing and sealing our own condemnation. ▪(Jn 3:16) “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. (vs.17) For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. (vs.18) Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. (vs.19) And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil. (vs.20) For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed.” As I close, I must propose that the two greatest events in the history of mankind were 1) The birth of Christ, and 2) the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ. The first event split history and the second event split mankind’s eternal destiny. Because of His love towards mankind, God provided the perfect sacrifice for the sins of the world. So when I share the gospel with folks and they hem-and-haw, I point out to them, “You’re literally rejecting God right now! Why? Who does that? Who in their right mind literally rejects a savior?!!” They quickly deny this, but the real answer is 1) Someone who doesn’t/can’t see their need for salvation, or 2) They simply choose something, anything besides God. Humanism (Man is God). Regardless, Jesus is Lord! (Php 2:9-11) (Watch: How to Share the Gospel) ▪Share this Newsletter ▪(Make a Donation) |
Beach-Service & Bonfire!
| One of the last teaching 3/4 will get before they graduate Zebulun next week. God has given each of us a set amount of time. Btw, what is time? Watch “Spend your time wisely!” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKA1_LImfys&t=16s) |
| One of my burdens is to immerse these men and women in the Word of God. The degree to which you know the Word of God is the degree to which you can better represent Him. The opposite is also true. How sad that the majority of Christians don’t know the Words of God. (Read “By what authority do you speak?”) |
| Are Christians required to attend Church? Absolutely! But isn’t God everywhere? You know, where two or more are gathered, God is there, right? There’s so much more to the story! (Read “It’s still His Bride!”) |
| Every time we gather, I ask these men and women to show me their works. (Jms 2:17-18) I believe the majority of Christians are guilty of stolen valor. (Read “Stolen Valor”) |
Baptisms!
| Alex was so eager to be baptized that it made my heart swell with joy. This man has a warrior’s heart and is hungry to know how to fight the good fight. (Read “Do you wrestle?”) |
| Julian is a new person. He has been ignited into the things of God. It seems that the degree to which he legit craves God, is the degree to which God fills and satisfies him. Julian is being set apart. (Read “You must think we’re equal!”) |
| Ryan is hungry and desperate for the presence of God. Overwhelm him, Lord. The Holy Spirit is teaching Ryan how to battle is the spirit realm. (Read “It’s your move!”) |
| Whitney craves the things of God, and she is a “fisher of men!” She doesn’t leave her works for another Christian to accomplish. (Read “leaving it for someone else?”) |
| Bobby wants more of the Lord in her life! She knows with God she can see more clearly. (Read “Goggles much?”) |
“Divine Design for Sex”

| Am I pursuing God more, or is God pursuing me more? It’s definitely not us. Haha! But where’s the proof that God is chasing us? (Read “God is pursuing you!”) |

| Sandy and I choose daily to be out here on the mission field. It’s quite challenging, labor intensive, full of opposition and resistance, and very expensive. But we press on and hold this crossroads because this is the mission God has placed on our lives. So much work. So many souls. You can help us with your financial support. When you sow into these works, you literally become a benefactor of the Kingdom fruit being harvested here. Make a Donation (https://cinami.org/missionary/guerra-nick-sandy/) |
In closing…
| I can’t help myself. I’m so in love with Sandy that I tell her how much I love her every morning and throughout the day. How is it that my words foster greater love, trust, security, and affirmation? As we’ve sown into each other with our words and acts of love, it definitely reaps a harvest. Galatians 6:7-8 put into motion! Watch “The power of words in your marriage!” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2lti8smVn4&t=2s) |
| Saints, I continue to pray that you prosper and be in health even as your soul prospers. (3Jn 1:2) Thank you also for your prayers and support. You encourage us greatly! So week in and week out, Sandy and I remain faithful to the Lord’s works and the souls here. (So many souls.) We provoke and confront people (Believers and non-Believers) into greater thought about Christ and His salvation. In the power of the Holy Ghost and the love of God, we engage the multitudes. And there is always Kingdom increase and fruit! Honestly though, we need your help. Financial support has dropped while ministerial demands have not. Your support directly enables us to continue making disciples and also minister to the lost and hurting. Please consider partnering with us seeing folks saved and discipled for the glory of the Lord.
