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

Author: Jerry Baca Galatians 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is … Joy Joy unspeakable and full of glory. This kind of joy is top level supernatural joy from God. How do you define this kind of joy? It is indescribable but the best way I found to describe it is holy joy, glorious joy, or sanctified joy. God is our EXCEEDING JOY. Joy comes from a relationship with Jesus. Just like love has a name, joy has a name, it is JESUS. Joy is the second fruit of the Spirit spoken of in

Author: Jerry Baca Galatians 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is Love. .+- As I started typing this, our beloved mascot/pet Riot the cat, unexpectedly jumped on my lap and stabbed my leg with his back claw. I yelled in pain and said,” the fruit of the Spirit is love”, so that I remember not to kill him. I noticed that with his front paw, he added a plus sign, which is his contribution to this blog, a cross. Thank you Riot and thank you Jesus. John 3:16 For God so loved the wo

Fruit of the Spirit Weekly Recap Author: Karen Romero-Baca Hello again! Jerry asked me to kick off our weekly recap for the studies, so here I am once more. We are starting the year with a series to go deeper into the fruits of the Spirit. As mentioned in my last blog, we did a series in 2025 on the gifts of the Spirit which you can review in our Archive . For those that were unaware, we host a free live Bible Study three Saturdays per month. The schedule for these is found o

Author: Karen Romero-Baca “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11 NIV So how did we get here? I just wanted to take a moment to thank the Lord for all He has given and done for us over the past year as well as discuss our vision for the future of Baca Bibleland. Normally, this area will be used by Jerry to recap prior studies (attaching Zoom videos/PowerPoints), g
