A God of Convenience
Paul had been arrested and sent to Caesarea to stand trial before Governor Felix. During his trial, Paul spoke of his worship of God and belief in His Word. Felix kept Paul in prison but often talked with him about his faith. Acts 24:24-25 “He sent for Paul and listened to him as he spoke […]
Un Dios de Conveniencia
Pablo había sido arrestado y enviado a Cesarea a prueba ante el Gobernador Felix. Durante el juicio él habló de su adoración a Dios y la creencia de Su Palabra. Felix mantuvo a Pablo en prisión, pero a menudo habló con el acerca de la fe. Hechos 24:24-25 “Algunos días después llegó Félix con su […]
The Sin of Arrogance
In the message “Give Him All The Glory” we considered how Joseph recognized his ability to interpret dreams was only by God’s grace; “God will give Pharaoh the answer he desires” (Genesis 41:16). We were also reminded of Paul’s words to the Corinthians, “What do you have that you did not receive?” (1 Corinthians 4:7), […]
El Pecado de la Arrogancia
En el mansaje “Demosle Toda la Gloria” consideramos como José se dio cuenta que su habilidad para interpretar los sueños era solo por la gracia de Dios; “Dios quien le dará al faraón una respuesta favorable” (Genesis 41:16). También se nos recordó las palabras de Pablo a los Corintios,”¿Qué tienes que no hayas recibido?” (1 […]
So The World May Know
In the message “The Mind of Christ” we considered our call to walk according to the new life we have already been given. We then looked at several aspects of the life of Christ as our solid example to follow. We saw His walk of humility as well as His desire to serve and glorify […]
Para Que El Mundo Reconozca
En el mensaje “La Mente de Cristo” consideramos nuestro llamado de caminar de acuerdo a la nueva vida que se nos ha dado. Después vimos varios aspectos de la vida de Jesús como un solido ejemplo a seguir. Vimos Su deseo de servir y glorificar al Padre; pero probablemente los aspectos más desafiantes de la […]
The Mind of Christ
In the message “Stand Our Ground” we began with a statement that our Christian walk involves a process of renewing our mind. Paul wrote to the Romans about this renewal as an on-going process of transformation (Romans 12:2). He also wrote about a renewed mind as something which has already occurred; “But we have the […]
La Mente de Cristo
En el mensaje “Parémonos Firmes” comenzamos estableciendo que nuestro caminar Cristiano involucra un proceso de renovación de nuestra mente. Pablo escribió a los Romanos acerca de esta renovación como una transformación en marcha (Romanos 12:2). El también escribió acerca de las mentes renovadas como algo que ya sucedió; “Mas nosotros tenemos la mente de Cristo” […]
Stand Our Ground
Our Christian walk of growing closer to God and becoming more like His Son involves a process of “renewing our mind” (Romans 12:2). Our mind is renewed as we begin to consider things of eternal value rather than the fading things of the world. But no matter how far we mature in our walk, distractions […]
Parémonos Firmes
Nuestro caminar Cristiano, mientras nos acercamos a Dios y estamos transformados a la semejanza de Su Hijo, involucra un proceso de “renovar nuestra mente” (Romanos 12:2). Nuestra mente se renueva de la manera que comenzamos a considerar las cosas con valor eterno en vez de las cosas del mundo que se desvanecen. Pero no importa […]
Live Above The Noise
[Note: This message was originally sent out in 2009 when our family was traveling in a camper trailer through the northern and western United States. However, I recognize this as a message I need to hear again and again!] Today is day thirty-two of our traveling “journey.” I put journey in quotes because I’m not […]
Give Him All The Glory
Joseph had some difficult times in his early years. His brothers tried to kill him and then sold him to the Midianites. The Midianites, in turn, sold him as a slave to Potiphar who was one of Pharaoh’s officials. Joseph was then falsely accused by Potiphar’s wife and thrown in prison where he sat for […]
