Pastor Granillo: Hosanna In Our Fears!
By Pastor RAUL GRANILLOHosanna In Our Fears!
Every year, when Palm Sunday comes around, I am reminded of my childhood. As a Catholic, it was a day on which we would certainly go to mass. It meant that I would get to come home with a palm leaf; and it meant Easter was around the corner and Spring was upon us.
I loved Palm Sunday—I still do, but today, Palm Sunday reminds me of something else, something less innocent; Palm Sunday also reminds me of how much influence fear has upon us.
Palm Sunday celebrates the triumphal entry of Jesus; He rode a donkey into Jerusalem and the people were so excited Read More

Pastor Granillo: Cognitive Dissonance
By Pastor RAUL GRANILLOCognitive Dissonance.
Cognitive Dissonance – The state of having inconsistent thoughts, beliefs, or attitudes, especially as relating to behavioral decisions and attitude change.
As a small child, I remember taking sips from my dad’s beer at every opportunity I could; I watched him get drunk countless times and scare me with who he would become. I took a drink so that I could be more like him.
I remember the first time I took a chew of Copenhagen; a guy with half his face gone had recently spoken at the school about the dangers of tobacco. I took a chew and thought, Read More

Pastor Granillo: My Worst Enemy
By Pastor RAUL GRANILLO Growing up with siblings, being married, and even just being a part of the general public has caused me to realize that we fight a lot of different battles in our lives.
As I looked back at the many battles I’ve fought, I realized that there were more than a few that got me nowhere or even caused me to lose ground. In most of those battles, my opponent and I were fighting about two entirely different matters and didn’t even realize it. We named the war similarly, but there was no hope of resolution because even our disagreement didn’t actually have a common ground.
The others,
Pastor Granillo: Write Them On Your Doorframes
Pastor RAUL GRANILLOThere was a popular question that used to pop up in Christian circles, “If you were accused of being a Christian, would a jury of your peers find you guilty?” In other words, do you really live your life as if you believe what you claim to believe?
