Dupla Honra

This song means so much to me and The Lord used it and still uses it in a big way in my life..."Dupla Honra" means "Double Honor" in Portuguese and the chorus of this song says: "...It's you Lord, who divides waters, establish kings and also all makes them fall...who inclines from heaven just to hear my voice, Restores my soul when I think about giving up...and because I am attached to you, for every day of shame...Double Honor." May this words really find a place in our hearts. God Bless, Lucas Penido.

I'm a Christ Follower (Mac vs. PC Parody) Part 02

haha..posted the first part a long time ago, here is part 02. Hey...I'm not trying to be a legalist but this is still pretty funny! God Bless, L.P

In Christ alone...

So...during my devotional this morning, I read "My utmost for his highest" and what called my attention the most was that a book that was written almost 100 yrs ago (and has been continuosly in print since 1935) is still so relevant...this is what Brother Chambers said on todays reading:
"..The theme of the world’s religion today is to serve in a pleasant, non-confrontational manner." Wow...are you sure he's still not alive?! That deeply touches me because, yes, I've heard brothers and sisters talking about really hiding the Cross of Jesus and really saying that "hey...its all about love and almost no consequences." but to hear (read) that from someone some almost 100 yrs ago?! Now...something that touched me even more is how he puts a thought into perspective, he says "..If you think you are helping lost people with your sympathy and understanding, you are a traitor to Jesus Christ. You must have a right-standing relationship with Him yourself, and pour your life out in helping others in His way." It may sound simple and cliché but that to me translates into my theory that "Nobody changes Nobody" not acting nice, not showing them anything; afterall, only the spirit convinces. Simpathy and understanding is necessary but at the end of the day..."In Christ ALONE OUR hope is found". God Bless, Lucas Penido.

All In ( Letting Go) TobyMac

This is a video I made...the lyrics touched me so much that I was like...I gotta put some visual to this! Its lyrics represented the exact stage I was in like "this time I'm so for real, this time a I seal the deal..shut down my lame appeal...I'm letting go..." and then..."I'm letting go of everything I am and Im holding on to everything you are" May the Lord keeps us all in that stage...of always holding on to HIM. God Bless, L.P

I have decided...

...to follow Jesus, I have decided to follow Jesus...I have decided to follow Jesus, no turning back...no turning back.
Well...today there was a Bapitsm. There are somethings that never cease to amaze me and deeply touch me in a certain way...Baptisms are definitely one of them; The simbolic fact of someone telling the world that they are now "born again" amazes me and brings tears to my eyes; The testimonies by the people being baptized were very simple yet very touching and if I may...powerful. I can't help since we're almost days to the end of the year...to look back and reflect...Wow...this has been the best year of my life! I found Jesus, I found love, I found a family and friends, I mean...all around, emotionally, professionally, sentimentally and most importantly...spiritually, this has been the best! Cliché? Maybe; but one thing is true..."I could sing of your love forever".
If you used to follow my old blog, you know I always posted my "New Year's resolution". I still haven't posted the one for next years but I'll tell you what...it will be very similar to the one from this year. in other words...I'll rather be driven than drive...my pilot knows the road way too well! hehe...without any fake modesty...HE's the best!
I need to constantly remind my self of a few things though like..."I am crucified, HE lives for me", "Forgetting the things...I'll push on", "Seek the Kingdom first", "Where is your heart there's is your treasure" oh...I got something that will put this whole concept into a single sentence...
"The World Behind me...The Cross before me, The World Behind meeee..The Cross Before me...The World Behind meee...the Cross Before meee..NO TURNING BACK...NO TURNING BACK".
God Bless, Lucas Penido.
