U vs U - Part II

When countries are at war, their primary objective is to identify their enemies weak spot so they can point all their guns at the area.

It happens in the Spiritual realm too. Our enemy is always lurking around looking for ways to makes stumble, fall and even get killed.

He won't give up. He'll keep trying and trying and trying. 

That's what he did to Samson. You see, though he was the most respected and feared man at the time the devil did not rest. He kept devising plans to catch Samson. And he eventually succeed.

The devil teamed up with man's weakest spot, the HEART.

And in order to accomplish that plan he introduced Delilah, a beautiful woman by the way. Small detail.

Likewise, our enemy will also use girls, guys, 'friends', family, media, music, Hollywood and so many other things in order to weaken our defenses and get to us.

Friends, you are strong by nature. You are smart, clever, your mind is sharp and fresh. Our enemy knows that very well. He'll do everything in his power to overpower you.

Outsmart him. Make him look like a fool. Don't give him that taste. Remain strong in God and you'll beat him up, badly.

U vs U

Do you know Samson, strong guy from the Bible? Many people think his power was in his hair. WRONG. It was in his pact with God. 


Also, many people blame delilah for Samson's fall. WRONG again. It was Samson himself. 


Let's go back in time.


Samson received his strength from God. According to bible, "the Spirit of the LORD began to move upon him".


Through his immense strength and power Samson tore down the gates of a city, he tore up a lion with his bare hands and killed 1,000 enemy soldiers with the swing of a jawbone of a donkey. The type of thing that you only see in movies today. But here is the thing, he actually DID IT. It was like Samson was the Thor, or the Superman at the time, but for real. No special effects. No fantasy.


He was a hero for the Israelites.


Now, as we already know, the devil is always looking for ways to get to us. No matter who we are, the position we hold, if we're rich or poor. He doesn't care. All he wants is to impede God's people from succeeding.


And that's exactly what he did to Samson. He found a way to get to him. And it was Samson's heart. The devil knows very well that “the heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked." 


You see, Samson was so strong, bold, courageous, audacious, but he was defeated by his own heart. Delilah was just an instrument in the devil's hands.


I'll get in to that next week.

Jobs' Legacy

Jobs' legacy will live on.

We can undoubtedly say that he stood out

in the revolutionary computer market.

He is was an unequaled genius.

But that leaves us, YPG comrades, with a question: What about us?

What about us who fight for a greater cause?

What legacy will be left for those who come after us?

Computers will deteriorate one day, but not the human soul.

Stop & think?

WHEN... is the right time? (part II)

Let's do some math:


If when COURTING (dating) I come to the conclusion that the person I'm dating is really the one for me  then I shouldn't take too long to get married otherwise I'll surrender myself to temptation.


Okay. That's clear. Now, what if then I'm not planning to marry that person right now because I'm only 17 years old and also because I have barely started college? 


Does this mean that I'll date this person for another 3, 4 years? Isn't it dangerous to my hormones?


Moreover, I haven't accomplished much in my finances, got a decent job, nor built a solid foundation yet. 


Well, if I'm using my intelligence and not my emotions (you can't do maths using your emotions anyways), neither following the impulses of my heart, I can conclude that it's too early for me to commit myself to a relationship at this time of my life.


Ha-ha... gotcha! The question now is: Who is brave enough to use the MIND and not the HEART to solve this love equation?

WHEN... is the right time? (part I)

In the last post we explained how to know who is the right person for you to spend the rest of your life with and avoid any type of surprises.

Today I would like to talk about WHEN is the right time to start thinking about your love life. Of course, to not think about it is quite impossible, I know. However, I hope to make you understand that it's not a problem to think about it, unless you think with your heart and not with your gray mass.

I'd like to start off talking about DATE and COURTING (you probably never heard of this one before).

According to the dictionary:

DATE - 2 informal a social or romantic appointment or engagement.

COURTING - be involved with romantically, typically with the intention of marrying.

Can you spot the difference? COURTING is no longer part of our street-like vocabulary. It's kind old fashioned. Hence the problems caused by DATING.

Today it's all about DATING. You meet, kiss, sleep together, have a baby and if so, you get married. It's completely the opposite from what we heard from our ancestors (I say ancestors because even our recent ones, such as our parents, failed on this one).

COURTING is all about getting to know the person so you can move on and get married, and not to kiss and roll in the sack. You're interested in what you two might have in common or any dissimilarity. This isn't cool nowadays, I know. Would rather be cool than be sure? It's your call.



To be continued.
