Dance of Thanksgiving
Today is Thanksgiving in the United States. I know this isn’t a global holiday, but perhaps you will forgive me if I use this day to write a special Thanksgiving message. This has been a difficult year for our family. In fact, the first five months were the most difficult of my life. Many of […]
A Childlike Amazement
In the message “Remember The Basics” we saw the importance of returning often to the fundamental truths of our faith. We are called to grow and mature, but never to “grow” such that we are led away from the simple and unchanging truth: God loves us so much that He provided a way to restore […]
Un Asombro Infantil
En el mensaje “Recordemos Lo Básico” vimos la importancia de regresar a menudo a las verdades fundamentales de nuestra fe. Somos llamados a crecer y madurar, pero nunca a “crecer” de tal manera que seamos conducidos lejos de la simple e inmutable verdad: Dios nos ama tanto que proveyó una manera de restaurar la relación […]
Remember The Basics
As we continue down God’s path of sanctification, “being transformed into His likeness” (2 Corinthians 3:18), moving from milk to solid food (Hebrews 5:12), and growing in grace and “all spiritual wisdom and understanding” (Colossians 1:9), it’s wise to return often to the basics of our faith. As we learn more of our Heavenly Father […]
Recordemos lo Básico
Mientras continuamos en el camino de Dios de la santificación, siendo “transformados en Su misma imagen” (2 Corintios 3:18), pasando de la leche a los alimentos sólidos (Hebreos 5:12), y creciendo en gracia y en “conocimiento de su voluntad en toda sabiduría e inteligencia espiritual” (Colosenses 1:9), es prudente regresar a lo básico de nuestra […]
All His Energy
When the Apostle Paul met Jesus on the road to Damascus, his life was forever changed. Prior to meeting Jesus, Paul was “breathing out murderous threats against the Lord’s disciples” (Acts 9:1). After the encounter with Jesus, and being filled with the Holy Spirit, Paul “began to preach in the synagogues that Jesus is the […]
Toda Su Energía
Cuando el Apóstol Pablo se encontró a Jesús en el camino a Damasco, su vida fue cambiada para siempre. Antes de encontrarse con Jesús, Pablo estaba “respirando aún amenazas y muerte contra los discípulos del Señor” (Hechos 9:1). Después del encuentro con Jesús y siendo llenado con el Espíritu Santo, Pablo “predicaba a Cristo en […]
Our Unconditional Love
When we become a Child of God, through faith in Jesus for the forgiveness of sin, He loves us in spite of our failures – in spite of the way we stumble and sometimes fall. But what type of love do we give in return? Do we have a continual love which remains through good […]
Nuestro Amor Incondicional
Cuando nos volvemos Hijos de Dios, por medio de la fe en Jesús para el perdón de pecados, El nos ama a pesar de nuestras fallas – sin importar la forma en que tambaleamos y aveces caemos. ¿Pero que clase de amor es el que damos a cambio? Tenemos una clase de amor continuo que […]
Walk Humbly
Seven hundred years before Jesus walked the earth, the prophet Micah wrote words given to him by God; words that tell what God expects from His Children. Micah 6:8 “He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to […]
Andar Humildemente
Setecientos años antes que Jesús caminara por esta tierra, el profeta Miqueas escribió algunas palabras dadas por Dios; palabras que hablan de lo que Dios espera de Sus Hijos. Miqueas 6:8 “El te ha declarado, oh hombre, lo que es bueno. ¿Y qué es lo que demanda el SEÑOR de ti? Sino sólo practicar la […]
All For His Glory
A few years ago I visited a planetarium and remember coming away with a renewed wonder of God’s creation. I saw many pictures taken from large telescopes and even many taken from space. The stars are fascinating! I’ve often looked into the night sky and wondered about God’s promise to Abraham: “‘Look up at the […]
