Build According To The Spirit
When the armies of Babylon made their final invasion of Jerusalem, they took many captives into exile and completely destroyed the temple – destroyed God’s dwelling among His chosen people. After many years, a group of Israelites were allowed to return to Jerusalem and rebuild. This group began the work with great excitement: “With praise […]

The Promised Land

Mientras las guerras continúan alrededor del mundo, debemos recordar que nuestras verdaderas batallas no son contra carne ni sangre – no contra el terrorismo o armas de destrucción masiva, ni contra un jefe opresor o una pareja desagradecida – sino “contra huestes espirituales de maldad en las regiones celestes” (Efesios 6:12). Las verdaderas batallas ocurren […]
