The Splendored Wisdom of God Revealed Through The Church
I have been reading, meditating and thinking on the book of Ephesians. Paul wrote this book to the believers in Ephesus (Jews and Gentile). He planted the church in his third missionary journey and spent three years there. (Acts 19; 20:31) Paul’s desire was to take the Gospel to the Gentiles all over the Roman […]

If You Could Have One Thing or Desire
If you could have one thing, what would it be? I know I said thing, but it doesn’t have to be a thing, but anything. I was thinking about this as I was running and meditating on Scripture. Here are some things that people tend to make their pursuit in their lives. Some want to […]

Living with Urgency for the Kingdom of God
Paul lived his life with an urgency for the Kingdom of God. From his calling in Acts 9 he lived a life of urgency in what God called him to do. He did have a time of preparation which are often called the “lost” years in the desert after his conversion. But even there, it […]

Who has Your Heart?
There have only three times that I have moved. The first time happened when I was ten years old. We left El Salvador to come to America. I remember our departure. The feelings are somewhat nostalgic. This move opened a new life for me and my family. The best of it was the fact that […]
