“¿Sentido en la tragedia?”
Cuando ocurre una tragedia, es habitual que la gente se pregunte: “¿Qué significa esto?”. Cuando presenciamos alguna catástrofe o un asesinato colectivo, existe un sentimiento natural de que lo que ha sucedido no debería haber ocurrido. Esta sensación innata de “maldad” es una pista del significado de estos acontecimientos. Cuando tratamos de encontrar un sentido…
The danger of procrastination!
“Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.” Prov 27:1 By Adrian Rogers There is nobody so bad he or she cannot be saved. There is no one so good he or she need not be saved. There are many, however, who are going to be lost…
Unforgiveness and Hate
The sooner we confront hatred in our heart, the brighter our witness will shine. Ephesians 4:31-32 One of the most destructive attitudes a believer can display is hate. Think about it: How well can the light of Christ shine through a life that’s shrouded in anger, bitterness, and malice? Such a demeanor doesn’t reflect a…
God’s Unfailing Promises
God longs to comfort us when we are afraid, uncertain, or hurting. The Bible is filled with God’s promises, and together they’re woven into a beautiful tapestry depicting His goodness. Among the greatest of all the threads is the promise of God’s comfort. In 2 Corinthians 1:3-4, we learn that He is “the Father of…
Stand Fast in the Faith
If we want to withstand trials and evil temptations, we must plant ourselves on a foundation of faith. Ephesians 6:10-17 Did you know that you’re in a battle every day of your life? The enemy’s goal is to weaken, deceive, and lead believers astray. God protects all who belong to Him, so wicked forces can…
A Sure Foundation
Circumstances cannot shake a strong foundation of faith. Psalm 62:1-12 In a tumultuous world, where can stability be found? We can’t count on political leaders, financial institutions, healthcare providers, or any other human institution to keep us safe and secure. There is only one sure foundation, and that is the Lord our God. David, who…
Pregunta: “¿Por qué hay tantas diferentes interpretaciones cristianas?”
Respuesta: La Escritura dice que sólo hay “un Señor, una fe, un bautismo” (Efesios 4:5). Este pasaje enfatiza la unidad que debe existir en el Cuerpo de Cristo, puesto que en nosotros mora “un Espíritu” (versículo 4). En los versículos 2-3, Pablo hace un llamado a la humildad, mansedumbre, paciencia y amor; todo lo cual…
God can use my Testimony???
God can use any testimony, no matter how mundane, to inspire people. Psalm 26:1-12 Most of us have heard testimonies of believers who were saved from a lifestyle of horrendous sin. After listening to such accounts, have you ever felt that your less dramatic testimony is somehow not as valuable? In reality, the salvation God…
Power in Prayer
The true beauty of prayer is not a particular outcome but intimacy with the Father. Matthew 7:7-11 Have you become disillusioned with prayer? Perhaps you’ve been persistently asking, seeking, and knocking, but God hasn’t answered your request. If that’s the situation, you may be wondering why so many Christians speak about the power of prayer…
Are you taking advantage of your privilege?
In Jesus, we have access to the Father’s presence and confidence that He hears our prayers. Hebrews 7:11-28 Prayer is a truly remarkable privilege, and we must be careful to treat it as such. Have you ever paused to consider why a holy God would condescend to even listen to our petitions, let alone answer…
