I am enjoying this book and agreeing with it (like "yes!", "write on"...laughing that Jesus wouldn't get hired because he was single...silly but prob would be true). There are some parts that uses particular language to describe leadersh...

God has Good Plans for You
In a previous post I shared about how Israel was sent to captivity by God for refusing to obey him. But God didn’t give up on Israel. God promises his people that when the seventy years are over (70 years was the years Babylon would rule) he would “visit” them, and give them his good […]

When God Ruins Your Plans
When God Ruins Your Plans (or Life) Matthew 1:18-25 God has “ruined my plans” or “God ruined our whole family…” as Aggie’s Dad said to her about his missionary experience where his 27 year old wife died. See video below. Yes, God does ruin our plans. Often. He has in my life. But His plans […]

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 […]

God Sovereignly Protects – Acts 23:12-35
Here is the audio recording for Acts 23:12-35 taught during our Sunday School hour at Village Bible Church. This section shows that even though men appear to be in control, God is sovereign over all. He has a plan and will do His will. Isaiah 46:10; Proverbs 21:30 For Paul, now in chains, God is at work. He […]

Moses, Redemption and The Plan of God Part 2: The Need of Redemption
In my previous post here I started to share what I am learning from the book of Exodus. The book of Exodus in Hebrew begins with “And these are the names.” “And” here is important because it connects the ending of the book of Genesis with it. It connects God’s story of redemption. God had […]

Moses, Redemption and The Plan of God
The book of Exodus is foundational in understanding God’s plan of redemption (salvation) through His Son Jesus Christ. It is in Exodus that we find how Israel, God’s people becomes a nation governed by The Great I AM. Through Israel, the Savior would come to redeem us at God’s due time (some 1500 years later). […]

God’s Workings Amidst Man’s Doing
I was thinking through the story of Joseph in Genesis 37-50. It is an amazing story of God’s sovereign will working out his purpose in spite of man’s evil doings. It is easy to see the evil done to Joseph when his brothers, out of jealosy for being their father’s favorite, decide to kill him […]

His Story, My Story (Not My Story!)
I have been a believer in Christ for almost thirty years now. The road hasn’t been easy. But looking back the path I’ve taken, I realize (yes, this late) that “my” life hasn’t gone as I have planned it. And that’s the problem. As a young Christian, I thought I knew what God wanted for […]
