Everything that I will write in here it's how God has been working in my heart through this tool or I will say, book. I thank God for His word and the people who uses His word with knowledge to teach and help me grow throughout this journey. I have learned many things and I know He will show me many more things as I keep walking with Him with persistence. I pray to God for those who also need help in their marriage. There are many people, who are almost hanging their boxing gloves from bad choices in their relationship with their loved one and have no idea what to do, and there are others who projects their marriage as a perfectly fine relationship with their loved one, but when they are alone with each other it's a different story. I thought my marriage was the best until I start reading Love Dare, together with the Bible, let me tell you, I had no idea how bad I was doing.
We born with a conscious and we use it continuously in every decision we make. Most of the time, by my experiences, I have done many things in my marriage that I though it was right, but for my wife was totally not right at all. I overlooked many signs that was telling me to stop abusing other priorities instead of be present for the important ones. See, we born not knowing anything, we start from zero, same as marriage, we born in a new relationship with someone new in our lives and we grow together in a fantasy that everything is possible and we can make it with no problems and no difficulties and the reality is that we fall in our own selfishness. At this point we find 2 doors, one goes to live the way I want and the other goes to establish a healthy relationship with your loved one. This is how love can come to be your own decision and it can rule your house, not only with the wife or husband, but with the rest of the family.
We all want an easy way to do things, but the easy things can be unsatisfactory, I am talking about not confronting the problem and turning away from it. Think about an army's front line, they are prepared for battle, trained to not turn back and to defend their values. They will do their best to push forward to conclude with their objective. Are you prepared and looking forward to manage the problems in your marriage. Are you conscious that you have to change some things in your life like, priorities, as an example? In our house, as man and woman, have to be ready for the battle. We will have many problems like economic, work related, stress, and many, many...many more. I pray that you can have time with your family to watch the movie Fireproof and read Love Dare after. I say to watch the movie first so you can have an understanding of the book. They will show you real life problems and then how it ends when we do things in love. The book have steps to help us understand love. Please, take the time to do it and make sure you don't stop following those steps, because if you do stop, you will not have the benefits of it, and like war, will fall back. Be proud of what you have and fight for it.
“Love is not a fight, but is something worth fighting for”. - Warren Barfield
1 Corinthians 13:1-13
1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal.
2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.
3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned,[a] but have not love, it profits me nothing.
4 Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up;
5 does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; 6 does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth;
7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
8 Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away.
9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part.
10 But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away.
11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
12 For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known.
13 And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

Thanking the Lord
It is a blessing that the Lord is working with my family and giving them the chance to be saved. I thank Him for His mercy to all of us. I used to say "I cannot believe that I converted to be one of those annoying and fanatic Hallelujahs." That was when I first met Christ. Now I say that I am more than joyful to be one of them and I am so proud to be God's child, because I know for a fact that He love me and His is righteous. I thought that real Christians were there to judge humanity, I was totally wrong, we are judged already by Him. He wrote His Law in our hearts and by comparing it with what the Bible say it matches perfectly. Why should I destroy my body by drinking or using drugs, that is a slow process of committing suicide. Why blaspheming His holy name, hate others, lie, steal, dishonor my parents, coveting...Why do I want money, lust, cars, evolution, images, earth, etc to be my god? God promised provision and what better provision than salvation. A miracle like no other. Judgment is coming soon and we cannot play like there is no heaven and hell. People don't want to believe in that because they know for sure that by God's standard they will be guilty and will end up in hell. They only want to listen what they want, like I used to be. By believing in Buddha, Allah, Yoga, Mother Earth, New Age, Jehovah Witness, or any sect or religion will not change the reality of God, there is a Judgment Day and that day will be very hard for those who thought that God was a fake or for those who professed to be Christians and lived for the world(“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven." Mat 7:21). I pray to God for those who need His mercy, for those who won't accept the truth.
I did not accepted Jesus to be like any Christian celebrity, or to have a lifestyle religion or sect, or just to impress others with changes in my life or believe that I am perfect, or be better than anyone, no, but to have a relation that I never had with anyone. No one in this life can hold death, or can give life. No one can promise anything to anyone and fulfill it. No one can love, have compassion, be righteous and have mercy like Him. No one is good enough, no but one, only God is good.
Please, I beg you to analyze yourself by reading The Commandments and understand the grace of God. We lie, steal, blaspheme His holy name, we are adulterous, etc. That is our nature as sinners, but Jesus paid the price for you and me 2009 years ago on the cross so we don't have to do it. He ask from us to repent (Turn from our sins) and trust Him (have faith, follow Him), like if you trust in an airplane pilot or a parachute. Read the Bible daily and know this for a fact, God will never fail you, ever.
Don't think about it, do it quick, maybe the next hour your heart will stop forever. Remember this: 140,000 people die daily around the world.
God bless.

The Atheist Starter Kit
If you are a beginner atheist, there's a belief system you should embrace and a language you should learn, or you will find yourself in trouble. Here are ten suggestions for the novice:
1. Whenever you are presented with credible evidence for God's existence, call it a "straw man argument," or "circular reasoning." If something is quoted from somewhere, label it "quote mining."
2. When a Christian says that creation proves that there is a Creator, dismiss such common sense by saying "That's just the old watchmaker argument."
3. When you hear that you have everything to gain and nothing to lose (the pleasures of Heaven, and the endurance of Hell) by obeying the Gospel, say "That's just the old 'Pascal wager.'"
4. You can also deal with the "whoever looks on a woman to lust for her, has committed adultery with her already in his heart," by saying that there is no evidence that Jesus existed. None.
5. Believe that the Bible is full of mistakes, and actually says things like the world is flat. Do not read it for yourself. That is a big mistake. Instead, read, believe, and imitate Richard Dawkins. Learn and practice the use of big words. "Megalo-maniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully" is a good phrase to learn.
6. Say that you were once a genuine Christian, and that you found it to be false. (The cool thing about being an atheist is that you can lie through your teeth, because you believe that are no moral absolutes.) Additionally, if a Christian points out that this is impossible (simply due to the very definition of Christianity as one who knows the Lord), just reply "That's the 'no true Scotsman fallacy.'" PLEASE NOTE: It cannot be overly emphasized how learning and using these little phrases can help you feel secure in dismissing common sense.
7. Believe that nothing is 100% certain, except the theory of Darwinian evolution. Do not question it. Believe with all of your heart that there is credible scientific evidence for species-to-species transitional forms. When you make any argument, pat yourself on the back by concluding with "Man, are you busted!" That will make you feel good about yourself.
8. Deal with the threat of eternal punishment by saying that you don't believe in the existence of Hell. Then convince yourself that because you don't believe in something, it therefore doesn't exist. Don't follow that logic onto a railway line and an oncoming train.
9. Blame Christianity for the atrocities of the Roman Catholic church--when it tortured Christians through the Spanish Inquisition, imprisoned Galileo for his beliefs, or when it murdered Moslems in the Crusades.
10. Finally, keep in fellowship with other like-minded atheists who believe as you believe, and encourage each other in your beliefs. Build up your faith. Never doubt for a moment. Remember, the key to atheism is to be unreasonable. Fall back on that when you feel threatened. Think shallow, and keep telling yourself that you are intelligent. Remember, an atheist is someone who pretends there is no God.

CC: Whoever says there is no God; the Bible is not true and I want to live the life my way, nobody can say what I should or should not do, not even God is living a religion. Whoever stands firm in evolution's theory lives in a religion. If someone says to you that he or she believes in something beyond this earth and thinks that we will be trees, cows, roaches, birds, or whatever else, definitely lives in a religious and contradictory life. The Bible have all the answers for all of these different kind of people. The Bible definition of these kind will be idolatry; Exodus 20:4-6: “You shall have no other gods before Me. “You shall not make for yourself a carved image—any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.
God bless all of you.
