Attitude of Encouragement
EVERYONE needs encouragement. No matter how secure and confident someone may appear, everyone needs to be reassured, built up, and comforted. And we are all called to minister to one another, every day, with encouragement; “But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called Today” (Hebrews 3:13). Therefore, we are all called to […]
Actitud de Aliento
TODOS necesitamos ser animados. No importa que tan confiado y seguro alguien pueda parecer, todos necesitamos ser reafirmados, animados y confortados. Todos somos llamados a ministrar a otros, cada día, con estímulos; “Más bien, mientras dure ese ‘hoy,’ anímense unos a otros cada día, para que ninguno de ustedes se endurezca por el engaño del […]
Entrusted With His Secret
We have been given an incredible gift. Jesus Christ came into this world two thousand years ago to be the perfect sacrifice for our sin, and to bring us back into a relationship with our Heavenly Father. Jesus knew God’s plan of grace before the world was ever created; “This grace was given us in […]
Encargados de Administrar Sus Misterios
Se nos ha dado un increíble regalo. Jesucristo vino a este mundo hace dos mil años para ser el sacrificio perfecto por nuestros pecados y traernos de nuevo a una relación con nuestro Padre Celestial. Jesús sabía el plan de la gracia de Dios antes que el mundo fuera creado; “Nos concedió este favor en […]
Tested By Praise
The longer and closer we walk with God, the more we realize how He uses every opportunity to shape and mold us – to chip, file, and sand the rough edges – as we are gradually “conformed to the likeness of His Son” (Romans 8:29). This is His desire for everyone who trusts in Jesus […]
Probado por las Alabanzas
El mayor tiempo y lo mas cerca que caminemos con Dios, lo mas que nos damos cuenta como El utiliza cada oportunidad para formarnos y moldearnos – a picar, raspar, y lijar las orillas ásperas – mientras gradualmente estamos “transformados según la imagen de su Hijo” (Romanos 8:29). Este es Su deseo para todos que […]

Sow To Please The Spirit
In the spring, a farmer prepares the soil, plants the seed, and waits several days for the first signs of life. Many weeks pass before a few inches of growth occur and several months go by before it’s time to harvest. Much hard work and patience go into reaping a bountiful crop. The soil of […]
Sembremos Para Complacer al Espíritu
En la primavera, el granjero prepara el suelo, planta la semilla, y espera varios días hasta los primeros señales de vida. Muchas semanas pasan antes que unas pocas pulgadas de crecimiento ocurran y muchos meses pasan antes que sea tiempo de cosecha. Mucho trabajo duro y paciencia se pone en cosechar un cultivo generoso. El […]
Desires of Our Heart
We often talk about the gift of Salvation as a transformation of the heart. Jesus came to give us eternal life through faith in Him and His sacrifice on the cross. His death established a new covenant for all who would come to Him in faith; “This is My blood of the covenant, which is […]
Deseos de Nuestro Corazón
A menudo hablamos del regalo de la Salvación como una transformación del corazón. Jesús vino a darnos vida eterna por medio de la fe en El y su sacrificio en la cruz. Su muerte estableció un nuevo pacto para todo aquel que venga a El en fe; “Esto es mi sangre del pacto, que es […]
Prevent The Sparks
Every year, sparks from hot campfires or careless matches start fires which consume millions of trees in beautiful forests. Once begun, these fires move unrelentingly through hills and valleys – nothing is safe from the fury of the flames. Every year, sparks from hot tempers or careless words start fires which consume millions of lives […]
