About a year ago Elements had only one youth member. I wasn't sure if there would ever be any other teens. Now we have a few more than a handfull of teens. During our first meeting we came up with a couple possible names for our youth group, Elements Second Generation (E2G) was chosen. Last month E2G had their second youth meeting! It was lots of fun hanging out with everyone and getting to

For those of you who have been asking about the t-shirts we debuted at Rap Fest '09 last year, guess what? They're in!

Some of you might know I love football. I played football for the Chargers in El Barrio throughout my high school years (my school didn’t have a team). Being short and chubby, my opportunities were somewhat limited. I played offensive tackle, defensive tackle and center regularly. I played linebacker once or twice and even spent one game playing tight end…where I actually caught a ball and ran

I wish we could remember that real church happens when we get together. Not just AT church. Wherever 2 or more gather in His name. That verse says "wherever" not when they "gather at church." Have church whenever you gather! But...you must gather. Don't waste opportunities to gather. When things r good, when things r bad, gather. I've found that when I'm jacked up, when I am lost, when I

If you follow me on Twitter or have me on Facebook, you know I write "Eyes on the 2 Train" where I write about something I literally see on the subway. It’s also a shout-out to my “2 Train” people…you know who you are! I don't write daily because I don't see something interesting every day. I also sometimes change it to "Eyes on the MTA" if I'm taking a bus. Well today it's... Eyes on Our

Beautiful service, great friends and family and God showed up.   The last time we had 4 mothers.  This year, 14.  And the testimony of what it means to be a mother, along with the videos and thought...legacy, pass it on.  What a beautiful time!

Also on Sunday, January 31, 2009, the worship team from Sanctuary Fellowship came and spent some time with us.  It was a beautiful time as they just played music and sang songs freely.  By the end of worship, no one wanted it to end.  Jay Cabassa got to sing with them and Melodie sang a song as well.  Beautiful time!  BIG shout out to Sanctuary Fellowship, Pastor Jorge Martinez, his whole crew

On January 31st we had the honor of dedicating Jayda Rodriguez to the Lord.  Jayda is the daughter of Josh and Liz Rodriguez. This was our 2nd baby dedication and I had the honor of not only presenting her, but standing in as her God father, along with Jayda's two God mothers, Erika and Christie.  Jayda is so loved!

1. The Bible is God’s word to man, written by human authors, under the divine guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is the supreme source of truth for Christian beliefs and living. Because it is inspired by God, it is truth without error. (2 Timothy 3:16 | 2 Peter 1:20,21 | 2 Timothy 1:13 | Psalm 119:105,160, 12:6 | Proverbs 30:5) 2. God is the Creator and Ruler of the universe. He exists eternally

Accountability - We believe that we will be held accountable for how we use the gifts and resources with which God has entrusted us. Our desire is to be accountable to God and to one another in striving to be wise stewards of His gifts. - Matthew 5:13-16 / Matthew 25:14-30 / 1 Corinthians 4:2 Commitment - We believe that becoming an extraordinary follower of Christ is normal for every Christ

So this is my blog right? I have every right to say what I feel right? Great!!! Folks, that phrase that you hear in church on the regular...that you hear from our pastors on the regular...that you hear in Gospel songs of EVERY genre...that you hear on radio shows...that you hear at awards shows...that phrase is just anti-Biblical. I challenge anyone to find that phrase, or anything close

As 2009 unfolds a few things have become apparent to me and my wife...there's movement. You might be saying, "Duh E, of course there's movement." But I mean movement in terms of getting closer to people, to dates, to purpose. First, I'm so happy to say that Erika and I have begun a process of getting closer. We spend much time together and for whatever reason have begun to cling to on
