Refuse To Be Afraid
As wars continue around the world, we must remember our true battles are not against flesh and blood – not against terrorism or deceptive governments, not against an oppressive boss or unappreciative spouse, not even against attacks on our health – but “against the spiritual forces of evil in the Heavenly realms” (Ephesians 6:12). The […]
Rehusar a Ser Temerosos
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 […]
Gifts To Be Returned
After Joshua led the Israelites into the promised land, the nation was governed by a series of judges. The period of the judges lasted several hundred years and ended with the prophet Samuel. Samuel lived his entire life dedicated to God. In fact, Samuel’s mother dedicated him to God before he was even born. For […]
Regalos Para Retornar
Después que Josué dirigió a los Israelitas a la tierra prometida, la nación fue gobernada por una serie de jueces. El período de los jueces duró varios cientos de años y terminó con el profeta Samuel. Samuel vivió su vida entera dedicado a Dios. De hecho, la madre de Samuel lo dedicó a Dios aún […]
Kenya School Update
I am resending the message from last week. We have raised $5000 this week. Thanks so much! We still need $20K to purchase the plot. Except for a little painting which will be accomplished during school breaks, our school in Mathare, outside of Nairobi, Kenya, is complete. The facility is four floors, with classrooms for […]
A Taste of Eternity
In the message “An Eternal Perspective” we saw the need to consider our life on an eternal time scale and to weigh our current burdens against the eternal glory of Heaven. But there are many believers who are unable to gain strength or comfort from this view of life. Although they know the concept, they […]
Una Prueba de la Eternidad
En el mensaje “Una Perspectiva Eterna” vimos la necesidad de considerar nuestras vidas en una escala eterna de tiempo y medir nuestras cargas de ahora contra la gloria eterna del Cielo. Pero hay muchos creyentes que son incapaces de renovar fuerzas o de ser consolados desde esta perspectiva de la vida. Aunque conocen el concepto, […]
An Eternal Perspective
The path of a “successful” Christian walk is one of daily commitment to Christ and submission to the leading of His Spirit. Jesus said, “If anyone would come after Me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow Me” (Luke 9:23). Paul understood this commitment when he said, “I die every […]
Una Perspectiva Eterna
El caminar de un Cristiano “exitoso” es de compromiso diario a Cristo y de sumisión a la guianza de Su Espíritu. Jesús dijo: “Si alguien quiere ser mi discípulo, que se niegue a sí mismo, lleve su cruz cada día y me siga” (Lucas 9:23). Pablo entendió este compromiso cuando dijo: “cada día muero” (1 […]
Be Clean
The term leprosy, as used in the Bible, actually refers to a whole variety of skin conditions ranging from rashes, to open sores, to various infectious diseases, and includes true leprosy as we know it today. According to God’s Law given through Moses, a person with leprosy was ceremonially unclean and not allowed to take […]
Sé Limpio
El termino lepra, de la manera que se usa en la Biblia, realmente se refiere a una gran variedad de condiciones de la piel que van desde inflamaciones, hasta llagas abiertas, y varias enfermedades infecciosas; e incluye la verdadera lepra como la que conocemos ahora. De acuerdo a la ley de Dios dada a través […]
Immeasurably More
Prayer is a vitally important part of our Christian walk, but it is often greatly misunderstood. Prayer is how we talk with our Heavenly Father. It can never be used to manipulate God or cause Him to do anything outside His perfect will. God is not ours to command; He is not obligated to grant […]
