By Jerry Baca Ephesians 6:17 And take the helmet of salvation ...NLT -Put on salvation as your helmet. Contemporary English -Let God’s saving power be like a helmet ... Good News- And accept salvation as a helmet .... Youngs- and the helmet of salvation receive ... Romans 13:11 And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. Ephesians 2:8,9 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not

By Jerry Baca Buckler up butter cup! How big is your faith shield? The Bible says that we only need faith the size of a mustard seed to move a mountain. However, to battle the enemy, we need our shield to be big. We can lock shields together with other believers and push the enemy back. Having said that, there is something called the buckler in the word of God. In ancient times the buckler was a small shield that they used in close hand to hand combat. It was for protection,

By Jerry Baca There are many ways to view this passage of Scripture. Be ready to go; put on the right shoes to go where God wants you to; when you get there, share the good news of the Gospel; what Gospel? The Gospel of Peace. Paul saw that the uniform of the Roman soldier could be used to see what God’s armor for us looks like. When we put on His armor, we have truth, righteousness, peace, salvation, faith, and the Spirit of the Word of God. We must be prepared, with the rig

By Jerry Baca There is light, and there is dark. There is truth, and there are lies. There is right, and there is wrong. If you walk in the light, the blood of Jesus will cleanse you from all unrighteousness. If you know the truth, it will set you free. And if you do what is right, you will live and not die. If Adam and Eve had obeyed God, they would not have sinned. If Cain did what was right, he would not have killed his brother. The Bible says in Genesis 4:5 that Cain was

By Jerry Baca Wearing a belt is essential to me. Finding a belt that might fit me is another matter. I am over the weight limit so to speak. If I think I lost some weight, the belt of truth tells me a different story. The belt is at the center of my wardrobe, but it is hopefully hidden under what I call ‘long shirt’. There are many different kinds of belts. Have you ever thought about that? There are belts for fashion, dress or casual. Waist and cinch belts, skinny or wide, b

By Jerry Baca The ultimate form of persecution is to become a martyr for JESUS CHRIST. God uses persecution of the saints to further the Gospel. Tertullian said, “The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the Church. I believe we saw a form of this when they killed Charlie Kirk. More people saw what Charlie was about after he died when they saw his videos and how he stood for Jesus. He reminded me of Stephen in the Bible who was stoned to death. Prior to Stephen’s martyrdom, th

By Jerry Baca The great poet Rodney King said it all, “Can’t we all just get along?” The Bible says pursue peace with all men. Not just our brethren. To be a peacemaker is a high calling. We should pray for world peace. Announcing the birth of Christ, the angels proclaimed peace and goodwill to all men. Before his death on the cross, Jesus told his men, “Peace I leave with you, My peace I give unto you: not as the world gives, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled,

By Karen Romero-Baca And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. (Revelation 22:1) Yes, Jerry talked me into writing the Blog this week! Because of this, I started with the Scripture that we forgot to add to our Power Point. Although SPOILER ALERT (for those who have not seen it), he does mention it toward the end of the video. He also insisted on mentioning my name. As everyone is aware, “Karen” has b

By Jerry Baca And it came to pass, that as he had come nigh unto Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the wayside begging: And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it meant. And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passes by. And he cried, saying, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me. (Luke 18:35-38) I used to think of mercy as forgiveness. Although that is part of it, there is more to being merciful. Jesus healed this man, thus showing him mercy. The Bible says

By Jerry Baca This week we talked about spiritual hunger and thirst for God. We all have a God shaped hole in our hearts that only God can fill and satisfy. In this world, we try to fill this void with anything and everything you can think of, but ultimately only God can satisfy. People will go after money, power, fame, sex, drugs, alcohol, entertainment of every kind. At sixty years of age, I feel like I’ve been there done that, got all the hats and T-shirts, they just don’t

By Jerry Baca Welcome to Baca Bibleland Ministries! My dad’s birthday is always a few days from Father’s Day, and my mom’s birthday was close to Mother’s Day, (she is in heaven with Jesus now). They were married for 58 years and were together for 60. He just turned 87 and was in town recently to celebrate. I am truly blessed to still have him. Both of my grandfathers lived into their 90’s, so I plan on being on the planet for a while, unless the good Lord takes me home first.

By Jerry Baca Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted. I like the blessed part, and I like the comfort part. I don’t know about the mourn. But remember, weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the mourning. Or is that morning? Either way, comfort and joy are coming both in the spiritual as is meant here (mourning sin) or even in the natural (mourning loss). So even if we don’t want to mourn, we live here in this world which is wonderful, but there ar

By Karen Romero-Baca Yes, it is I again! Jerry asked me if I wanted to write one and so I’m letting him off the hook this week. Although, I assured him that everyone loves his blogs, so I can’t wait to read his next one. This week we began a new series on the beatitudes. In the gospel of Matthew chapter 5, we read all about the sermon on the mount that Jesus delivered to his disciples. Within this there are eight beatitudes. If you are like me, I learned about them when I was

By Jerry Baca Today is Memorial Day 2026. I moved to Las Vegas on Memorial weekend 1983. So today is my 43rd anniversary of living in Las Vegas. For over 40 years I have mostly wandered the desert. But I came to Jesus here. I met my wife here. All of our kids were born here. Most of our grandkids were born here. One of my sisters with her grown kids and grandkids lives here and one of Karen’s brothers lives in Las Vegas with his grown kids and grandkids as well (presently). O

By Jerry Baca The Bible says in Numbers 12:3 that Moses was the meekest man on the face of the earth. Of course, Moses wrote that didn’t he? If the Bible says that Moses was the humblest man on the planet, I believe it. Meekness is not weakness; it is quiet strength. So how did Moses become so meek? After he tried taking matters into his own hands by killing an Egyptian, he had to flee Egypt to escape. For the next 40 years, he not only lived in the desert, but it was in the

Author: Jerry Baca Revelation 19:11 After that I saw heaven opened and behold a white horse (appeared)! The One Who was riding it is called Faithful (trustworthy, loyal, incorruptible, steady) and True, and He passes judgement and wages war in righteousness – holiness, justice and uprightness. God’s Word is eternal, and He shows His faithfulness to us. We are to trust that God’s commitments endure even if your circumstances change. God is faithful even when we are not. His f

Author Jerry Baca We forgot to hit record on this particular Bible study. Maybe it’s for the good. We know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose. (Romans 8:28) KJV God is good all the time, and all the time, God is absolutely good. This was a very special Bible study to me as we were graced with Steve, Maureen, and Carlos in house as well as Guido, Becca, and Jeff on zoom, joining me, Karen and Gabe.

Author: Jerry Baca In the Bible, there are many examples of people that showed kindness, compassion, and generosity. We covered some of them in the Bible study. We are told to show kindness to strangers, (they might be angels) kindness to one another, and to be kind to animals. Abraham showed kindness to strangers, Ruth showed kindness to her family, David showed kindness to Mephibosheth. We also learned a little about the Good Samaritan, who went out of his way to show kindn

By Jerry Baca I asked God for patience, and He said wait. That was a joke ha-ha. Now I say be careful what you ask for. If we want patience, we better ask God for His supernatural patience, because our own patience will run out. I like to think that I learned patience in my job. As a cab driver, I wait for people all day long. When a person walks out of a hotel and comes to my cab, they have no idea how long I have waited for them. If the cab line is long, chances are I have

We have been studying the fruit of the Spirit. In the gospel of St. John chapter 15, we read that Jesus is the true Vine. We are the branches that are supposed to bear fruit. If you do not bear fruit, He takes the branch away and if you do bear fruit He purges the branch. This did not sound too friendly until I looked up synonyms of the word purge: Restore, cleanse, purify, heal, sanctify, amend, improve, refine, regenerate, clear, acquit, elevate, uplift, vindicate, and exon
