Day of Remembrance
There are only a few more days to go! Only a few more days until…until what? Why is December 25th so special? What really is this day we call Christmas? The early church did not give much thought to the birth of Jesus. Of the four Gospels only Matthew and Luke even mention His birth, […]
Día de Conmemoración
Falta ahora pocos días hasta el 25 de Diciembre – solamente unos pocos días hasta – ¿hasta que? ¿Que es exactamente el 25 de Diciembre? ¿Que es este día que llamamos Navidad? La iglesia primitiva no pensó mucho del nacimiento de Jesús. De los cuatro evangelios solamente Mateo y Lucas hacen mención de Su nacimiento, […]
The First Move
In our celebration of the birth of Christ, we know the focus of Christmas should be the eternal gift given through the birth, life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. This season ought to irresistibly draw us nearer to God as we reflect on His wonderful gift of love. But perhaps there are times we need […]
El Primer Paso
En el mensaje “Día de Conmemoración” vimos que el enfoque de Navidad siempre debe estar en recordar el regalo dado a través del nacimiento, vida, muerte, y resurrección de Jesús. Esta época debe atraernos irresistiblemente a Dios mientras reflexionamos en Su regalo de amor. El nacimiento de Jesús nos da un conocimiento más profundo acerca […]
The Gift of True Forgiveness
It’s hard to believe there are only a few more days until Christmas. Yes, as the song says: “It’s the most wonderful time of the year!” It really is wonderful! We are flooded with Christmas music, Christmas lights, and lots of Christmas “activities.” And although the season contains many distractions which attempt to pull us […]
El Regalo del Perdón Verdadero
Si, como dice la canción: “Es el tiempo mas maravilloso del año!” Estamos inundados con música navideña, luces navideñas, y muchas “actividades” navideñas. Y aunque los “adornos” navideños son frecuentamente distracciones, la mayoría de nosotros somos capaces de ver mas allá de la brillantina. A pesar que el mundo intenta distraernos, generalmente hacemos tiempo para […]
Restore The Broken Arrows
On Friday I sent a Family Update message in which I wrote about how blessed I am by all my children. In that message I made use of the passage which refers to children as arrows in our quiver: “Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are children born in one’s youth. Blessed is […]
Consume The Word
In the message “When We Hear His Voice” we saw that despite many calls and pleas from Jeremiah, the people of Israel failed to repent of their sin and turn toward God. After many years of rejection, God finally turned them over to their own evil desires; “Even if Moses and Samuel were to stand […]
Consumir La Palabra
En el mensaje “Cuando Escuchamos Su Voz” vimos que a pesar de muchos llamados y suplicas de Jeremías, el pueblo de Israel nunca se arrepintieron ni volvieron a Dios. Después de muchos años de rechazo, Dios finalmente les entregó a sus propios deseos malos; “Aunque Moisés y Samuel se presentaran ante mí, no tendría compasión […]
When We Hear His Voice
In the message “No Shortcuts” we saw the importance of remaining on God’s path by obediently following His leading. There will always be temptations to take other paths to “get ahead,” but God’s ways are flawless and He calls us to follow Him with every step. Jeremiah was appointed God’s spokesman to call the people […]
Cuando Escuchamos Su Voz
En el mensaje “No Hay Atajos” vimos la importancia de mantenernos obedientemente en el camino de Dios siguiendo Su liderazgo. Siempre habrá tentaciones para tomar caminos que aparentan llevarnos “adelante” – pero los caminos de Dios son impecables y El nos llama a seguirlo en cada paso. Jeremías fue designado como el vocero de Dios […]
No Shortcuts
In the message “Look Back From Eternity” we saw how one day, when we stand with our Heavenly Father, we will see the awesome purpose in the path we have traveled. If we continue to trust and follow His leading, we will see how each twist and turn in His path was designed to navigate […]
