Keep the Aflame the Gift God gave You

Paul wrote 2 Timothy as a personal letter to Timothy his son in the faith. He was a bit younger that Paul and had not only received a gift from God related to ministry but also learned ministry alongside of him. In the first verses, he reminds Timothy to keep aflame this gift he had […]

Ethnicity, Culture and My Identity

My ethnicity and my culture do not define who I am. I don’t recall I have ever written publicly on this subject with the except for writing a short biography many years ago when I was a teacher. But before I share my thoughts about that statement, here is a bit of my ethnic and […]

¡Maravillados! Mateo 28:1-10

Nada e es más maravilloso que el hecho de que Dios Hijo resucitó de entre los muertos. Tal cosa jamás a sido llevada a cabo por nadie. El concepto de resurrección (las personas muertas resucitando o resucitándose así mismas) era ajeno a las ideas contemporáneas de ese entonces. Historias y mitos de esta índole si […]

El Precio que Él pagó por Nosotros

Mas él herido fue por nuestras rebeliones, molido por nuestros pecados; el castigo de nuestra paz fue sobre él, y por su llaga fuimos nosotros curados. 6 Todos nosotros nos descarriamos como ovejas, cada cual se apartó por su camino; mas Jehová cargó en él el pecado de todos nosotros. (RV 1960) Este pasaje profético predijo […]

The Price He paid for us going Our Own way

But he was pierced for our transgressions,    he was crushed for our iniquities;the punishment that brought us peace was on him,    and by his wounds we are healed.6 We all, like sheep, have gone astray,    each of us has turned to our own way;and the Lord has laid on him    the iniquity of us all.  – Isaiah 53:5-6 (NIV) This prophetic passage foretold what the Lord Jesus […]

A Prayer: Light of my Life – John 8:12-19

Take time to read John 8:12-19, then pray the prayer below. Jesus once again addressed them: “I am the world’s Light. No one who follows me stumbles around in the darkness. I provide plenty of light to live in.”13 The Pharisees objected, “All we have is your word on this. We need more than this to […]

Viviendo en la Voluntad de Dios – 1 Tesalonicenses 5:16-28

Pablo en este pasaje nos da maneras de deleitarnos en la voluntad de Dios como iglesia (sin duda aplican individualmente, pero recordemos que es una carta para toda la iglesia). Esto nos ayudará a todo lo que Pablo a enseñado a través de esta carta. Nos da una triada para fomentar nuestra relación con el […]
