Can the Ethiopian change his skin or the leopard its spots? Jeremiah 13:23 Some people read today’s verse and assume it means that we’re incapable of change. First, I want to point out that this is an Old Testament verse. We live in New Testament times, and we benefit from what Jesus did for us. When you gave your life to Jesus, an incredible event took place. You became a child of God (Romans 8:14). So…what does a child of God look like? Barely getting by? Hanging in there until you make heaven one day? No, this Christian life is far more than we can imagine, and it’s not about you trying to become something. Second, today’s verse is actually about who you are inside, …
More than enough
But I fear, lest somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:3 (NKJV) Do you ever feel like something is lacking in your life? When Adam and Eve lived in the Garden of Eden, it was a perfect place. God walked and talked with them in the cool of each day. They were made in the likeness and image of God; they were like Him. They were God’s kids. When the devil tempted Eve to eat the fruit, he said it would make her like God (Genesis 3:4, NLT). He wanted her to think she lacked something that could only be found by disobeying God. The simple truth …
Unstoppable Vision
Vision is more than just a bunch of words on a page. Some think that their vision is just their mission statement or motto. Although these hint at vision, it’s much more. Vision is an actual picture of the future. And when it comes down to it, it all starts with a belief. What you believe is powerful. If you believe you can do something, you will develop the skills and attract the right team. Of course, skill development is important too. However, if you don’t believe something is possible, you won’t achieve it. Actually, the greatest battle you will fight on the road to success is the one that takes place in your own heart. I use the word ‘heart’ here and not ‘mind’ …
Más que Suficiente
But I fear, lest somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:3 (NKJV) ¿Siente a veces como si algo faltara en su vida? Cuando Adán y Eva vivían en el Jardín del Edén, era un lugar prefecto. Dios caminaba y hablaba con ellos en el frescor de cada día. Ellos fueron hechos a imagen y semejanza de Dios; ellos eran como Él. Ellos eran hijos de Dios. Cuando el demonio tentó a Eva a comer la fruta, le dijo que la haría como Dios (Génesis 3:4, La Biblia, Nueva Traducción Viviente). Él quería que ella pensara que carecía de algo que solo podría encontrar desobedeciendo a Dios. La …
Sobre la Obediencia de Cristo
And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow. Philippians 2:8–10 (NKJV) ¿Siente a veces como si no estuviera a la altura? En un punto de mi vida, vivía con una constante sensación de que nunca podría hacer lo suficiente. No importaba cuanto hiciera; siempre sentía como si eso no fuera suficiente para agradar a Dios. Cuando sentía que estaba lejos de lo que Él quería que yo hiciera, me mortificaba. Pensaba que podría mejorar mi comportamiento siendo duro conmigo mismo, pero …
