The First Missionaries – Acts 13
The apostles were missionaries because they too were sent by our Lord Jesus Christ (Matthew 28:19; Acts 1:8).

I am a Highly Sensitive Person & So was King David
Not long ago I discovered that I am a highly sensitive person (HSP)[1] which means I process information and experiences in a different way than most people.[2] I am a deep thinker and tend to linger on things that I’m experiencing, often responding internally in an emotional way.

Security in Challenging Times – Acts 11:27-30-12
How to deal with these difficult situations? In today’s passage we saw that even though the church, the Christians, had already enjoyed some time without being persecuted for their faith, this was not the case with some of them. During the persecution instigated by Saul or Paul, the entire church had fled except for the […]

The Gospel is for Everyone – Acts 10:9-11:8
It’s normal when we think about those who need to know Christ, to think about the people who are in our circle or who are in our culture. It is difficult to think of others who are in other countries that we do not know. The truth is that the gospel, the good news of […]

My Childhood in El Salvador
Last November, after 43 years, I made the trek back to my birth country El Salvador. For months I thought about how it would be to go back. Would I be disappointed? Would I find the place I grew up the first ten years of my life? Would I find by best friend? I wrote […]

Many people have resolutions. Maybe you do. Many years ago, I started teaching about spiritual goals based on a well-known passage in Scripture. These are worth our time and effort the whole year. St. Paul in Philippians gives us five of them. These goals are not temporary, they are goals for the entire duration […]

It all Begins with God – Jeremiah 1
The truth of Scripture is clear: It all begins with God. This is exemplified for us in the life of Jeremiah in the first chapter. We learn that everything about us, even before we existed begins with God who calls us to follow him so that we can carry the tasks given to us. We […]
