Pastor Raul Granillo: Christianity 101
By Pastor RAUL GRANILLOChristianity 101.
“I will sing of your love and justice; to you, LORD, I will sing praise” (Ps. 101: 1).
I was reminded this week, by a new friend, that the simplicity of the Bible is the most powerful means of bringing life into this world. Too often we overcomplicate what God says or what Christianity is supposed to be about. We may get hung up in how to attract new people to our church and forget that all the world really needs is for us to live Christ-like lives.
The 101st Psalm is a great message of the simplicity of Christian living. Within this short work of David, you Read More

Pastor Raul GranilloSeeking God.
“O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water.” (Psalm 63:1 NIV).
When was the last time you earnestly sought something? For some it may have been a certain person that they found themselves attracted to. For others, it may have been that desperately needed new job. Maybe you just sought after a friendship. Or perhaps you simply find yourself earnestly seeking happiness in your life. We all find ourselves seeking after something at one point or another.

Pastor Raul Granillo: Looking To The Father
By Pastor RAUL GRANILLO“Fatherhood is a vocation in God’s service, to be not held lightly or frivolously, but with the serious determination of serious men.” –Father Lawrence Lovasik
The first time I held my oldest child, I was absolutely overwhelmed. I suddenly realized that another human being would be directly affected by anything that I did. This precious little girl was completely dependent upon others to provide her with food, protection and love. I was determined to do just that. I was convinced that my love for her would guarantee that I would succeed Read More

BLC News:Pastor Raul Granillo: Questioning God
By Pastor RAUL GRANILLOQuestioning God.
I doubt anyone has not had at least one moment when they have questioned God. After all, we are human, and this world is full of things and pains that we just don’t understand. It has been that way since the fall. That is probably why the Bible is full of instances when man questions God, or struggles with what God is doing (Ps. 10,44,74,77; Hab. 1:2; Jdg. 6:36-40). It should be emphasized that there is nothing Biblically wrong with asking hard questions and putting them to the test. In fact, Paul writes,
“Test everything. Hold on to the good” (1 Thess. Read More
