" If u declare with your mouth,  

“Jesus is Lord,”  &  believe in your HEART

 that God raised Him  

 from the dead, 

u will be saved" 

Romans 10.9

"Si lo declaras con tu boca,

 "Jesus es el Señor,"y cree en tu CORAZON que 

Dios lo levantó de los muertos,

serás salvado "

 Romanos 10.9

GREETINGS ! I INVITE U2 accept JESUS CHRIST  AS YOUR LORD & SAVIOR TODAY, RIGHT NOW, OR ANYTIME, & BE SAVED ! Don't wait until it is TOO LATE. Don't Hesitate. The consequences are TOO GREAT.! Humble yourself. You CANNOT do it alone. None of us can. Guaranteed 100% FAILURE RATE for those who try to GO IT ALONE. Kneel down now and say to Jesus, "Sorry & Thank you, I surrender to YOU, LORD, & Commit my LIFE 2 U, now & forever"

 Feliz Navidad !! gran desfile, como de costumbre, y tal vez ALGUNOS de ustedes no conocen a Jesucristo como Salvador. SI NO, sigue leyendo (si es así, mantén la fe y continúa contándonos las BUENAS NOTICIAS de nuestro Salvador):

*******

SALUDOS ! ¡INVITO A U2 a aceptar a JESUCRISTO COMO SU SEÑOR Y SALVADOR HOY, AHORA MISMO O EN CUALQUIER MOMENTO, Y SEA SALVO! No espere hasta que sea demasiado tarde. No dude ¡Las consecuencias son DEMASIADAS GRANDES! Sé humilde. NO PUEDES hacerlo solo. Ninguno de nosotros puede. TASA DE FALLA 100% garantizada para aquellos que intentan IR SOLO. Arrodíllate ahora y dile a Jesús, "Lo siento y gracias, me entrego a TI, SEÑOR, y me comprometo mi VIDA 2 U, ahora y para siempre"

JESUS SAVES !!

JESUS SAVES !!

JESUS SAVES !!

TO THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE ALREADY CHRISTIANS, KEEP THE FAITH MY FRIENDS  ! keep growing ! Be an GREAT COMMISSION EVANGELIST...this is NOT an option as Christians, it is an obligation AND a privilege. You cannot call yourself a Christian IF U R ASHAMED of the gospel. We ALL must shine our light in a  way that befits OUR God-given personalitIes & according to the culture & environment around you.

 4 THINGS TO DO ASAP

1) START TALKING & LISTENING  TO GOD: 

WE CALL this ‘PRAYER’

2) START READING

the WORD of GOD: 

WE CALL this the ‘BIBLE’

3) START HAVING FELLOWSHIP with OTHER BELIEVERS IN GOD

 (FATHER-SON-SPIRIT):

 USUALLY WE CALL THIS

‘GOING TO CHURCH’

4) START TELLING OTHERS ABOUT GOD & the SALVATION STORY: 

OFTEN CALLED

 ‘EVANGELISM’

-- 

JESUS SAVES !!

ALSO, Make sure you KNOW the MEANING of

‘GREAT COMMISSION’,

Rick Fignetti, Shane Dorian, Skip Frye

WELCOME ! I am not an official representative of the Huntington Beach Surfers Hall-of-Fame nor in any way a sponsor nor associate of the Hall or the City, et al. I am just a surfing fan and supporter of the sport and am posting a few pics & videos here for your enjoyment and information. The induction coincides with the US Open Surf Championship across the street in the Pacific Ocean, which attracts almost 1 million people annually. This year the three inductees were Shane Dorian, Rick Fignetti ("Rockin Fig"), and Skip Frye (also see http://www.hsssurf.com/shof/ )

 the chaplain opened with a nice prayer "
in the name of Jesus Christ" (yes!)

 I think they said he is the founder
of the HB Surfers Hall-of-Fame

 one of the HB politicians (mayor pro-tem?)

 above & below: before the BIG 3 they also honored some of the rising amateur surfing stars, the names of whom I did not catch

 above: Rick Fignetti

“Since the creation of the world, God's invisible qualities -- his eternal power and divine nature -- have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse. “
