¿Chistoso verdad?

“Chistoso, ¿verdad?” Chistoso, ¿verdad? – Lo mucho que es $20 cuando se da en la Iglesia y tan poco cuando estamos en la tienda. Chistoso, ¿verdad? – Lo mucho que es una hora sirviendo a Dios, y lo poco que es cuando estamos jugando fútbol u otro deporte favorito. Chistoso, ¿verdad? – Cuan difícil es […]

Lo […]

A church for Hispanics whose most dominant language is English.  I grew up in a Spanish speaking church and consider myself a second generation Hispanic.  I am bicultural and biliterate. But as the years have passed I notice that I […]

Life For A Life, Yet Not Equal Trade

I was thinking how often we say “my life,” and found that it is pervasive. I found it very difficult to say life without using “my.” I tried saying “the life” but it sounded weird. In the United States we believe in the “American Dream,” whatever it means depends on the individual. But it is […]

On Wednesday we reach a milestone in our marriage, our 20th year, and yet it feels like time has passed so fast.  Reflecting back on the journey, many things are different than when we started.  For the first time we are technically alone.

Notas de Estudio Viernes

Vivir la vida cristiana es imposible. Es imposible con nuestros esfuerzos.     Hay personas que viven pretendiendo ser cristianos pero no lo son.     Hay otros que piensan que pueden ganarse el título de cristiano y viven tratando de hacer buenas obras para salvarse. Hay muchas sectas falsas que hacen esto.     Hay también verdaderos […]
