The first documented instance of social enterprise activity arose as a result of the plague (Black Death) epidemic of 1665. As wealthy families fled London, many poor people were left unemployed.  Thomas Firmin provided the unemployed with raw materials for continuing their usual occupations and set up a factory scheme to provide employment for 1700 people. Firmin argued that these enterprises need not be wholly profit-making, the element of profit being there merely to mitigate and make more efficient the input of charitable funds (”the loss of two pence in the shilling as money well spent”).

Now is this what we look for today? By no means, it’s about what is going to bring a profit in return. What’s in it for me? I wise gentleman told me recently oh which by the way had nothing to do with Christianity, “Now look at your name. Before I even see what you look like I read your name Adrian Sandoval, and already stereo-type and label you.” I thought for a minute, and thought you know what your right. He said by your name alone thoughts run through my mind, “he’s mexican, he’s poor, he’s uneducated and so on…”.

When I think about being ‘Missional’ I’m not looking forward to using the buzzword “MISSIONAL”. It’s a scary thought to know that if we are actually suppose to reach the world including our local cities, the kingdoms, than I would rather use the word “MULTI-ETHNIC MISSION”. I want to make sure my people and your’s can have equal opportunity to hear the message of reconciliation without discrimination. Again, what I have to bring to the table is rooted deep in my roots of spiritual history, rooted deep in my soul of fighting for what’s right, having equal opportunity. I don’t want to take my kids to a conference that lead by all whites! If my kids are going to be interested, my people including adults, I want to see people that look like me included as well. Not just a black worship leader, not just a immigrant from mexico leading the only Mexican/spanish workshop to spanish speaking only. I want to see “Multi-Ethnicity” in charge. We need to wake up. We have a black president, and a Latino pope, but when it comes to evangelical circles, it’s only one dominant culture presiding. Let’s MYX IT UP!

I thirst for the ‘Body of Christ’ to be kingdom reflected. My word for the year is ‘Multi-Ethnicty Ministry’. I pray this blog finds you challenged and encouraged because let’s face it. Our churches are growing, our people are excited, and we are on ‘Multi-Ethnic’ MISSION!

Pastor AGE
Tha MYX Denver

We are not under the law, not under a performance based system that first demands duty and then offers blessing. Instead we are under grace, which freely bestows the blessing first, knowing that the blessing will cause fruit to follow naturally.

It is our identification with Christ at Calvary that frees us from sin. In Romans 6, we learn that our freedom from sin is based on the fact that we have been crucified with Christ.

(Romans 6:6-7 KJV) Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. {7} For he that is dead is freed from sin.
In Romans 7, we learn that same identification with Christ at Calvary had made us free from the law.

(Romans 7:3-4 KJV) So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man. {4} Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God.

To be “free from the law” means that Christ delivered us from trying to “be good” in order to be accepted by God – no longer is it necessary to be under external enactment, under certain conditions of performance and duty.

“In Christ” we have an eternal standing.

(1 Corinthians 15:56 KJV) The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.

Living Under Grace

(Titus 2:11-12 KJV) For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, {12} Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;

The Christian life is not earning credits and blessings from the Lord. Instead it is the grateful response to what He has already done for us in that He had given us everything in Christ.

WITHOUT IT we resort to self-protection, erect defensive walls, remain forever on guard.

TRUST IS ALSO the essence of FAITH. We believe in a God we cannot see. We pledge ourselves to a community charged with demonstrating selfless love for one another. The interests of others are to be held above our own.

Learning to trust one another, to be trustworthy in our relationships, is the foundation upon which such community flourishes.

You can’t move forward in any relationship with broken down trust. TRUST IS A MUST!

MAYBE TODAY, YOU NEED TO DEVELOP A TRUST RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD. MAYBE YOU HAVE PUT UP A WALL BETWEEN YOU AND GOD AND HAVEN’T EVEN NOTICED.

Here today we will find out that David had some major trust going on with God. His father, His source, his life!

Even in the midst of his circumstance. Even in the midst of struggle, he knew that he could depend on God. Even when he knew that people wanted to take him out. Even when he thought all hell was going to break loose.

TRUST WAS THE KEY! Psalms 63 Psalm 63: Thirst for the Water of Life (God). Chrysostom says that the early church sang this psalm every morning. It is a psalm of David, as also are 64 and 65.

1 O God, You are my God; 

a. trust; You believe in something you don’t see

Early will I seek You;

b. No one can make you seek anything but yourself. David had a desire to do so. He was up early in the morning seeking His father. He was dedicated to spending the early morning with Him.

My soul thirsts for You;

c. Thirsts; My soul is TO BE THIRSTY for you

My flesh longs for You d. I’m dry, I need to be hydrated with you God In a dry and thirsty land Where there is no water. c. A weary place, and a weary heart make the presence of God more desirable.

i. Verses 1-8 David expresses his holy desires after God, and his confidence in him.

Blessings, Pastor AGE-

Our families in the urban community are broken. 84% children are being born without a father in the home, 71% of children that are born are born out of wed lock. This is a stream to the jail system, prison. 90% of all the children in jail come from families who have no father.

Being that we serve such a community that’s broken, there are many young ladies, single women, single moms and the life are searching for a mate. Possibly for acceptance, love, security and more. We often find that there are predators in our community searching out vulnerable women. Women who have been taken advantage of all their lives.

I thought I would share some helpful thoughts on what it looks like for a single woman of God and what it is she should look for in a man who might be the right person for her.

There are a lot of guys in the world – 3.4 billion to be exact. That’s a lot of guys to wade through, which doesn’t help when you’re dating. Thankfully, those options narrows down quite a bit because any potential date has to be a believer. But dating can still be a challenge. Sometimes it’s hard to know who you should give a chance or who you should commit to after several dates. As Christian women, we know a guy we’re dating or possibly marrying has to be a Christ-follower… but how else are you supposed to know if he’s for you?

How do you know if he’s a keeper?

1. He’s A Servant

When wondering if you should keep dating a guy – look at how he spends his time: does he serve his church? Is he the kind of guy that helps his neighbors or friends when they have a need? A keeper is a hard worker, not only in his job, but everywhere else. He serves others as an act of worship to the Lord (Rom.12:11;Gal.5:13; 1 Pet. 4:10).

2. He’s Always Honest….Even When It May Hurt

A guy that’s a keeper is one that will kindly tell you the truth, ALL the time. If you ask him if those pants make your butt look big, he will tell you the truth. It may not always be what you want to hear every time but it’s for the best. Not only is his truthfulness obedience to the Lord (Prov. 12:17;14:25; 2 Cor. 6:7; Eph. 4:15,25) but it’s for your benefit too. When a guy is honest then you always know what to expect from him…the truth. If he says he’s working late then he’s really working late. He’ll always be someone you can count on for loving honesty.

3. He Takes the Lead

One of the hardest things about dating is wondering about the future. Are you both on the same page about where things are going? Will he be okay with the physical boundaries I’ve committed to?

No, he doesn’t boss you around, or try to control your every move, but a keeper does take initiative in the relationship. You won’t have to bring up the DTR after a month or two of dating, because he’s already done it (Eph. 5; 1 Pet. 3:7). You don’t have to talk with him about physical boundaries, because he’s already set them (Acts. 15:20,29; Rom. 13:13). He communicates with you, respects you, and let’s you know exactly what’s going on in the relationship so you’re not constantly wondering. He’s the leader.

4. He Only Has Eyes For You

One of the things that helped me know that I had a keeper when I was dating my husband was that he didn’t check girls out. He even did everything he could to avoid situations that might tempt him. He cared and respected me enough to keeps his eyes from wandering, but more importantly he knew that God had asked him to abstain from it (Prov.6:25; Matt.5:28 . His fear of the Lord and desire to live a life above reproach kept his eyes only for me. That’s the kind of guy you want to keep around!

5. He’s Got A Plan For His Life

Exceptional guys (which is the type you want to be with) have goals. They have ambition, they are seeking God’s guidance for their life and are doing what it takes to get where the Lord is leading them. And if they don’t know God’s exact plan for them yet, keepers are actively learning. They’re seeking the Lord to direct their future paths and then they’re taking the steps in walking that way (Prov. 3:5-6).

6. He Knows When He’s Wrong

A guy who is a keeper is teachable. That means he let’s the Lord mold him into a godly man and is able to let others teach him (Ps. 25:4-5; Prov. 1:7; 9:9; 13:1;15:33;19:20). He’s humble enough to know when he’s wrong and admits it. A keeper says “I’m sorry,” learns from his mistakes and changes to become more like Christ.

7. His Life Goals Match Well With Yours

When thinking about who to date, or continue dating, you need to figure out if you both have the same future goals. If he’s led to be a missionary in South Asia and you feel strongly about being a lawyer in Boston, well then that probably isn’t a match made in heaven. If your number one goal to serve the Lord anywhere he asks, and your date’s top priority is being with family, you are going to hit some rough patches. It doesn’t mean that God’s can change his priorities, or call you to the mission field with him, but it does need to be prayerfully considered.

When Alex and I were dating, I knew I was going to be in women’s ministry and had a heart for missions, while Alex was called to be a full-time missionary. After some time of dating, the Lord confirmed that I was going to minister to women and be a missionary. The life goals the Lord had given Alex matched well with mine and I knew I should keep him around for a bit longer!Being equally yoked doesn’t just mean that you share the same beliefs; it also means that you’re both heading in the same life direction (2 Cor. 6:13-15). A keeper’s goals lead you closer to where the Lord is leading you, not further away.

8. He Protects Your Heart

A keeper looks out for the best interests of the girl he’s dating. He’ll do everything he can to make sure that he’s not leading her on (this is where #2 and #3 come in) or that things are going at the appropriate level emotionally (Phil.4:7). He’s wise enough and cares enough to keeps things slow and helps to protect your heart (Prov.4:23), emotionally and spiritually, so that it remains reserved and focused on Christ above all else.

9. He Protects Your Reputation/Witness

He’s also careful to not lead her into circumstances that might put her reputation and Christian witness in jeopardy (Phil.2:3-5). He’ll avoid situations that might make people think less of her or are not above reproach (Eph. 5:3; Rom. 13:13). He’s her brother in Christ and he acts like it by putting his selfish desires aside to protect the heart and reputation of his sister in Christ. Because his primary goal is that God be glorified through their time together.

10. He Loves God More Than You

Wait, aren’t we always told that a guy needs to love you more than anything?! That’s what I used to think, too. But a guy that loves God more than you is a guy that will treat you far better than if he loved you above all else.

If a guy loves God first, then he’ll reflect Christ and desire godliness. A keeper loves God, follows God’s commands, and is continually desiring to please God. He’s going to be put your needs above his own because God, the one he loves above all else, has asked him too (Phil. 2:3-5). So that means, if you become his wife, that you’ll end up getting treated really well because God has commanded your guy to love you, serve you, and give himself up for you (Eph. 5:25-33).

There’s a lot more to choosing a guy than his height, job, or hobbies but godliness should be the #1 criteria.If he’s not seeking God then he’s not for you. And that’s not you being judgmental; it’s you being wise and discerning like God wants (Prov. 13:20; Rom. 12:2).

God has set a high standard of holiness for the guys you date for a reason; it’s for your best and it brings Him glory through your dating life (1 Cor.10:31). God desires for you to have a healthy dating life that glorifies the Gospel but that can only happen when you choose guys that are in line with God’s standards.

God has called His sons to certain standards but He’s done the same for His daughters. For a dating relationship to glorify Christ, it takes a godly guy and a godly girl. So before you begin going down the next dating path consider this: Am I the female counterpart of this list? Am I a woman that reflects Christ in my life and loves Him more than my desires for a guy’s love?

Hey all-

Since it’s been forever since I have jumped on here and blogged, I thought I would discipline myself to keep this up to date. I want to share information that I have written, researched as well as share information from some of the best practitioners out there in Theology as well as Christian Community Development. So here we go.

Today I start us off with a blog a friend of mine posted. It’s on Facebook Etiquette in my opinion. Today we have this misrepresentation of the POWER OF OUR LORD JESUS!

We post such things that would show the world in a sense, there is no hope…and leads to things said such as; “I would not want to be a Christian, there’s no hope in that Christianity.”

So hope you enjoy. Check back often for the update!!!

Facebook, Jesus, and your church

As at ten thousand other churches, use of Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, online forums and email affect the fellowship at Denver Bible Church. Consider these pastor’s tips for etiquette regarding online demeanor, the percentage of a congregation that “friends” one another, email use, and public ‘counseling.’

Online Demeanor & Your Church Witness: People are so much more polite to one another in grocery-store checkout lines than behind the wheel in traffic and on Internet forums. It’s not that automobiles and the web are sources of bad behavior. (Of course the horrendous temptation of pornography floods the Internet and every family should protect itself with a filter like Net Nanny.) Though as Jesus said, a man is not defiled “from outside… [but] what comes out of a man, that defiles a man. For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts… pride, foolishness” (Mark 7:18, 20-22). Of course healthy evangelism and discipleship include debate and confrontation, and some have tried to water down Christianity, and unintentionally advocate being nicer than God. But the relative anonymity of online forums daily brings out bad behavior in millions of web users. When Christians and others put on their “web face” and post on Facebook, it is so easy to be abrupt, sarcastic, and plain rude to people you would treat in person with great respect.

Recommendation: when possible, immediately or very quickly, bring disagreements and rebukes offline and in person, and avoid unnecessary taking sides and “piling on.”

Percent of Congregation: Sixty percent of churches in America have fewer than 100 weekly attendees and at the other end of the spectrum, one hundredth of one percent of churches (only 40 of them) have an attendance of more than 10,000. In a small church, if a dozen families “friend” one another, their Facebook posts, for example, appear on the web pages of most of the members in the church, and as a result, whatever they write has apparent approval of the church. For example, imagine a church member posting a joke about the murder of an abortionist, or a positive review of a movie he saw that weekend, even though the film had seductive immorality. If the member belonged to a large fellowship, his post would not seem to have the inherent approval of the whole church. Whereas, in a small church, as the percentage of attendees who “friend” each other increases, the presumption of church approval for each “posting” increases. (By the way, movies with sexual nudity harm everyone, and no one should recommend such films; Mark 9:42; 1 Cor. 6:18.)

Recommendation: regardless of the size of your church, ask God to help you avoid being a bad influence; consider “unfriending” those who lack wisdom in some post, not as a condemnation but as a way of limiting the distribution of that post; don’t flaunt the liberty you have in Christ; and realize that you are an ambassador of the Lord Jesus.

Email: Don’t be a Christian spammer. The world doesn’t need Christian thieves, Christian drunkards, nor Christian spammers. Increasingly, automatic filters delete emails with non-descript subjects like: “Read This,” “Don’t miss,” etc. Forward emails only after careful thought. If you forward a false rumor, you are responsible for harm it may produce. Check out questionable stories before sharing them, otherwise you will lose credibility, and that will harm your testimony. Don’t put the burden on your friends to check out the truthfulness of the email you send. You check it out first. And if it’s not worth your time to personalize the subject, it might not be worth your friend’s time to open it, which now he must do just to find out the topic. Consider being similarly helpful by describing a link in an email rather than sending just a raw link. Also, if you email a group of people, use “Bcc” (blind carbon copy) to “hide” their identities because otherwise, you will be distributing their email IDs in a single, easy-to-copy list that will possibly multiply the spam they receive and might even facilitate harmful emails going to a wide group.

Recommendation: learn to recognize and avoid spam; don’t spread rumors; and be thoughtful of your recipient’s time.

Public Counseling: an Internet forum hardly even qualifies as a poor man’s counseling couch. If someone reveals online their own destructive beliefs or behavior, a proper response will often depend on your geographic locations. If you will never meet this person, who perhaps lives half-way around the world, and you decide according to biblical standards to correct, confront, or rebuke him, you may have to do so publicly. (Of course, you might have more success if you minister through a private instant message or email.) But if you regularly see this person you care about at church, twitter-like counseling can easily be the result of laziness or even cowardice, leading to online rather than in-person dialogue. As Jesus said, “Moreover if your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone” (Mat. 18:15-17). As much of the New Testament consists of epistles, Jesus could have said, “Send him a letter.” But He did not. And of course the Lord’s instruction applies to private sin. Public sin and wrongdoing by leaders often requires public confrontation as occurs in Scripture. For otherwise, such misapplication of the Lord’s teaching would effectively insulate generally inaccessible leaders of large ministries from accountability to their flock.

Recommendation: don’t twitter away your opportunity to minister to a brother in need by unnecessary public rebuke; counsel your brother in person.

Online, as with all human interaction, we need God’s wisdom to honor Him through our words and deeds. Please ask God for discernment and to help you love Him and others. Bad behavior, even if somewhat unintentional on your part, can inflict great harm on another. Seek the Lord in everything and you will be a blessing to your physical and web neighbors! ]]> http://www.thamyx.org/http:/www.thamyx.org/events-news/newsblog/feed/ 0 http://www.thamyx.org/http:/www.thamyx.org/events-news/newsblog/ http://www.thamyx.org/http:/www.thamyx.org/events-news/newsblog/#comments Mon, 06 Dec 2010 20:05:10 +0000 admin http://www.thamyx.org/?p=1895

The church and the Sun Valley Homes Local Residents Council and the Sun Valley Coalition joined together to put on the event offering the community a safe celebration on Halloween. The event offered face painting, caramel apples, cupcakes and a hay ride through the Sun Valley neighborhood. Pastor Adrian Sandoval says, Bring the country to the 'hood, thats the opportunity for the youth. These kids dont get out of the neighborhood. Whats the chance of them seeing a horse like that? They dont even get to go downtown -- and thats just 3 minutes from Downtown!

Tis the Season!

As we are in the Holiday season, it is striking that there are so many families that are broken, struggling, torn apart, in need financially, hurting and the list goes on. In the midst of all this, the question is asked, “How do we get through this time in our life?
It’s not a easy one to answer. All I can say is that we are going to have to experience pain in order to get to joy and triumph through our trials and tribulations in life. So much is in store for each and everyone of us, and we are so Blessed as people to even be alive on this earth!

I was sharing in service on Sunday at tha MYX (’Lounge’ service) how we may experience turmoil, hurt, distress brokenness and that through all of it we also experience joy, comfort and triumph. When you think about how life plays itself out and all the things we go through, there is always a sense of hope, joy though the pain, comfort through the brokenness. Something that is greater than all, Jesus Christ, after all this is the reason for the season right? A time of laughter, peace and joy and yet through it all, there always seems to be a glimpse of sadness and pain.

Be encouraged my friend. In life, we will go through this exact process. You see there is some encouraging people in life that help us get through and see what this is all about. We see stories like myself who survived a roll over accident at 75 miles per hour down a interstate, rolling at least 6 times end over end and then coming out totally alive. See how through destruction, hurt, turmoil and distress there was victory and triumph as I walked away alive after being ejected through the windshield. It was in this time that God had given me a authentic conversion knowing that He is real!

Paul the apostle in the bible is a great person who has experienced many trials and turmoil in his life. As he lived his life going down his path, he was one who was religious, hateful toward Christians, and not walking with God. So he decides to take out all these new believers in Damascus and bring them back to in-prison and some kill. Men, women and children all being crushed because of their faith in Christ. So while on this road, Paul has this encounter with God. (Acts. 9) He is struck down by God, has authentic conversion and then is sent on a mission all given by God to reach the sinners of who Paul was chief of. Wow! You see there are 4 roads each of us travel in our life. Is it God who is divinely orchestrating the plan that He has laid out for YOU? You see, I believe that everything works out for the Good to those who Love God and are CALLED ACCORDING TO His purpose. God doesn’t want any to perish, but that all would come to repentance. Have you experienced what Paul experienced? A life of turmoil, pain, brokenness? Before we have this encounter with God, I believe He is already at work.

There are four roads  we experience or need to experience in our journey. 1. Damascus Road Experience: This is the road we are traveling before we have a encounter with God. We are evil, wicked, hateful, lost, and living our lives the way we choose fit to live them. Then all of the sudden we have a strike down encounter with God. We come to a point where He knocks us off our horse. Everyone is on this road in life. The next road is what God hopes everyone experiences. 2. Damascus Road Conversion: This is the road where we meet God face to face. We encounter His presence though our pain, hurt, turmoil, and brokenness. This is where He gets a hold of us and changes our life drastically. We feel joy, comfort and triumph through the Damascus Road experience. A change takes place. 3. Discipleship Road: This is where we are walking with one another, doing life together The bible was constantly making this a point. Disciples making disciples. 4. Jericho Road: This is the road of service. Paul was in and out of the building. Religious people didn’t like him. They were more concerned about what needed to be done inside the building(temple) than doing service to the community. Community wasn’t important to them. Paul did the will of God.

Do you know how to do the will of God. 2 Cor. 5 teaches that we are Ambassadors for Christ. Get out there and call all people to be reconciled to Christ. We need to do something now with we Got! This is the call of God in our lives.

When all said and done. It’s about God! It’s about what He has done. We will go through things in life, but there will always be a comforter to help us through. What we can take with us far greater than what the world can offer us. In this process we need to be 1. Vulnerable 2. Transparent 3. Have Unstoppable Passion. These three Paul had in life. 2 Cor 5 is a hand down of what we need to carry with us in our Christian walk.

Stay encouraged in this Christmas season. Know that through it all, God is watching over you, He will take of you, and never stop seeking His will for your life.

It seems, we are stopped in our tracks at times as fundamental evangelical followers of Christ. It seems that we are not growing any deeper in our relationship with God, our knowledge of who He is, and have no energy to even open the Bible and try to make sense of what it saying. I mean let’s face it, we have a lot in this world up against our time, resources, energy in Christianity. You have generations hooked on videos games, internet gaming, pop culture, rap music, and recreation time that just simply out powers the boredom of sitting down trying to understand God’s word. I HEAR YA MA PEEPS! It seems there might be need for a little change in our habits and I really feel it’s time to dig deep in what God really has for us. He’s given us His word for a reason. Word’s mean something and I believe when our eyes are enlightened to the Spiritual things of God, it sheds light on a whole new level in Christ! I decided to post a few helpful things that you might be able to take with you as when your sitting at home late at night, not watching t.v. maybe just looking to study, that you can apply when studying or reading God’s word.

When studying God’s word use this technique:

The “Sentence Within” Technique

While completely reading all quotations herein, learn to focus on core ideas contained in Scripture passages.  Verses that may seem familiar will almost certainly present new information previously overlooked, because every good Bible teacher will bring out new information from the Word.

In the quotations in the book, bold words will highlight a sentence within a sentence.  For example consider the footnote just referenced.

A sentence:

Therefore every scribe concerning the kingdom of heaven is like a householder who brings out of his treasure things new and old.

Notice that the bold words within that sentence highlight another sentence, drawing attention to a particular thought.

A sentence within a sentence:

Every scribe brings out of his treasure things new and old.

So the bold words not only form a sub-sentence, but they indicate exactly which words support the point being made by the writer using the technique.  Bold underlining brings into focus an even more basic idea, always forming a narrower sentence.

A sentence within a sentence within a sentence:

Every scribe brings out things new.

Techniques for studying the Bible, called hermeneutics, can be used properly or improperly.  If used properly, this system of bold words and underlining can precisely denote one particular truth within a verse.  The principle rule for using this technique properly is honesty.  For leaving out a single word, especially a condition or negation, could distort a text.  For example: “He who does believe is condemned” rather than Christ’s words “He who does not believe is condemned” would be dishonest.  Used correctly, however, the sentence-within technique greatly aids Bible study.  For example in Ephesians, Paul’s run-on, seven-verse sentence (Eph. 1:15-21) contains, “I give thanks for you,” which kernel of thought helps the student keep the rest of the passage in context.  The sub-sentence helps the user of the technique communicate his ideas to the reader.  The reader then considers whether the original author of the greater quote, say Paul or Jesus, also had in mind the same inner sentence.  If so, then honest use of language and consideration of the context has indicated the validity of the sub-sentence.

The sentence within a sentence technique is designed to highlight not individual words but complete thoughts.  Grammatical elements like subject, verb, and object help to constrain the range of interpretation and narrows the possible scope of the meaning of the passage.

I pray this helps you out when your studying and looking to FIND PEACE IN THE WORD OF GOD!
