El Amor Echa Fuera El Temor

Leon FontaineEntregate

No hay temor en el amor [temor no existe], sino que el amor perfecto (completo, perfecto) expulsa todo rastro de temor! Porque el temor trae consigo la idea de castigo, y [por tanto] el que teme no ha llegado a la plena madurez del amor [aún no crece en la completa perfección del amor]. 1 Juan 4:18 (AMPC) ¿Cómo puede saber que su amor por Dios ha crecido? Una forma de saberlo es si usted experimenta menos miedo. En la medida en que crece en la Palabra de Dios y desarrolla el camino del amor, se echa fuera el temor. Si usted lucha con el miedo de lo que la gente piensa de usted, la respuesta es desarrollar su camino de amor con Dios. Si …

Love Drives out Fear

Leon FontaineDevoted

There is no fear in love [dread does not exist], but full-grown (complete, perfect) love turns fear out of doors and expels every trace of terror! For fear brings with it the thought of punishment, and [so] he who is afraid has not reached the full maturity of love [is not yet grown into love’s complete perfection]. 1 John 4:18 (AMPC) How can you tell when your love for God has grown? One way to know is if you’re experiencing less fear. You see, as you grow in God’s Word and develop in this love walk, you push out fear. If you struggle with being afraid of what people think about you, the answer is to develop your love walk with God. If you’re worried …

No Importa Qué Pase

¿Quién nos apartará del amor de Cristo? La tribulación, o la angustia, la persecución, el hambre, la indigencia, el peligro o la violencia? Romanos 8:35 (NVI) ¿Cuánto tiempo le tomaría a usted desviarse de los caminos de Dios? No estoy pidiendo que haga algo para renunciar a su relación con Jesús. Pero ¿qué lo llevaría a hacer que se doblegara su moral? Algún tipo de dificultad o tentación causaría que usted dejara de vivir una vida de integridad? Creo que el apóstol Pablo pudo haber estado contemplando esto cuando escribió el versículo de hoy. Que podría causar que nos alejemos del amor de Cristo? Podrían los problemas, la angustia, la persecución, hacernos buscar fuera de los límites de los principios de Dios las respuestas? Si …

No Matter What

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? Romans 8:35 (NIV) How much would it take for you to deviate from God’s ways? I’m not asking what would make you renounce your relationship with Jesus. But what would it take to make you bend your morals? Would some sort of hardship or temptation cause you to stop living a life of integrity? I believe the Apostle Paul may have been contemplating this as he wrote today’s verse. What could cause us to pull away from Christ’s love? Would trouble, hardship or persecution make us want to look outside the boundaries of God’s principles for answers? If you read the story …

How to See More Miracles in Your Everyday Life

Leon FontaineSpirit Contemporary Life

With God, ordinary people can do extraordinary things. It started out as a day like any other. I was helping out in the emergency room at the hospital where I worked at the time, as I did whenever I wasn’t out on a call with the ambulance. A few patients had come in, so I was busy starting an IV when a coworker told me that a woman I knew had been admitted with a broken hip. After finishing up the IV, I made my way over to see her, but I was completely unprepared for what I was about to encounter. I had seen my share of shockers, but this one sent shivers up my spine. Immediately my eyes darted from one of the …
