Hurry up

Well, after more than a week of our first post, I've got an interesting one now.

I already knew that but never thought it would apply to me. Its the principle of opportunity. Here it goes:
If you think you have a brilliant idea, hurry up, because there are about 70 people think about exactly the same thing right now and getting ready to launch that idea. Why am I saying this?

Well, the whole idea behind the help2save project is to advertise the message of Christ through the methods normally overtaken by the world, by other words, TV, radio and stuff. This week I met a couple who does exactly the same thing, the difference, they do it in such a small scale that is not even noticed, however it's there.

well, that pushed me more and I decided to give one more step forward and this week I'm starting to tell people personally all about it. Great stuff, so keep an eye on it because we are about to launch the rocket and it's going to be massive!

in the mean time, for my virtual readers, I'll give you an overwhelming thought. That impacted me this week and also showed me how God is step by step preparing me to the biggest stage of my life. here it goes:

"You know someone's character by their REaction and not by their actions"

Think about it: YOu can paint a "You"totally different when you're conscious or when you know what you want, like on a job interview or on a daily basis relationship with staff members, friends, spouse, etc. But when you are put on to test, and sometimes you loose the obvious control of the environment, you react to some things, like on a car accident, or when someone treats you in a disrespectful way, so your angry answers come up, and then, there it is: REaction. And I'm not talking about the whole blablabla in the business world of being proactive instead of reactive. I agree with that, however, every single person goes through moments where they are put to test and they have to REact because they didn't predict that, of course they are not God so they are not aware of the future, they can not predict that. Even Jesus had that moments, and what a moments?!?!?!?!

Imagine if when the enemy tempted Jesus while he was fasting for 40 days promising the world to Jesus, if he did not had control over the reactions what would the story be like? Jesus stood up for his values (because as a man, and not just as God he had to believe in something) and took control over his REactions. (Read the whole story in Mt 4).

Now a very important thing: I'm not telling you that we can be perfect and never be upset. Not at all. That's part of our nature, but what I'm trying to say is: It is possible to control the REactions. Sometimes you may want to say something bad, or REact in a violent way, but if you keep in mind that Jesus overcame, and as we a His image and similarity, we can do it! I know it sounds cliche, but that's reality, whether you like it or not. So, make sure that next time it happens (because it will) you take a good deep breath and SHOW'EM SOME LOVE!!!

That is it for this week. Next week hopefully I'll bring a short message on REactions with more biblical passages and things to read through.

God bless you all and have a great weekend at church, and remember, one drop of water alone is like nothing, but millions and millions of them together can form and ocean!

Help 2 Save

My name's Pedro and I'll be blogging and sharing with you some ideas about what I think could help to change the world

Before I start I'd like to make it clear. This is a Christian blog and all the subjects here concern in one way or another to Jesus, so if you considered yourself a christian, follower of Christ you are more than welcome to read it and comment and if you are not a christian, or follower of Christ, I really recommend you read and encourage you to comment.

Well, Help 2 Save is an organization created to find alternative ways to bring Jesus and the message of the gospels to the world through the media and ways of communications they are used to. Help 2 Save uses strategies to reach people outside of the wall of the churches and inspires us to be doers and not just hearers of the word of God.

The foundation of this organization is a self sustained business, partnered with business people around the world willing to invest and reach the same goals which is more people for Christ.

So, As I believe it's useless to talk by myself, why don't you think about what I'm going t o propose and let me know by comments what yo think.

Would you support a business where you invest $50/ month to design and advertise campaigns, outdoors, tv commercials in order to advertise Jesus Christ in a modern way?
And what if you were not just involved in the part of investing, but if this project could involve you as an investor who receives financial return for his investments? What if someone could offer you an opportunity to be part of an enterprise where you invest in the kingdom of God and in return you are paid for?

Think about it, everything in the world is following these steps. phones one day (If not in our generation) will be free as long as you agree to listen to some advertising. Sky Tv and all of that will be free as long as you tune in some ads every now and then. Public transport (just for the record I don't know why it's called public if we pay for it but anyway) will be free as long as you can watch TV or listen to ads on the radio or be starring at a advertising in front of you at the next bench head spot. Even Apple, the great Empire is thinking about surrendering themselves to the advertising world with their Ipods. So, if people are doing this right now, why not can't we do that within the faith subject. Why can't we build an empire of advertise where people will see Jesus spread all over and in return, if you invested you shoul be eligible for a return?

Let me know your thoughts.
See you next time and God bless you
