Like newborn babies you should crave (thirst for, earnestly desire) the pure (unadulterated) spiritual milk, that by it you may be nurtured and grow unto [completed] salvation. 1 Peter 2:2 (AMPC) The Spirit of God is calling you. He speaks to every believer, and He’s always communicating. He is call- ing you to rise up and move on. As 1 Peter 2:2 teaches, He’s calling you to pursue and crave Him and His teaching the way newborn babies crave milk with all their being. And He’s calling you to act on the wisdom and direction you’re getting from Him and from His Word. If you’re in a comfortable place in life, you may be tempted to just stay where you are, but the Spirit of …
Called to a new season
For many are called, but few are chosen. Matthew 22:14 (NKJV) When Jesus said that many are called but few are chosen, what did He mean? Some think it means that God predestined only some people to go to heaven. This explanation just doesn’t make sense because we can find several verses saying that God wants everyone to be saved (See 2 Peter 3:9, Matthew 18:14, 1 Timothy 2:4). The truth is He’s calling every person on the planet to a relationship with Himself, and everyone who chooses to follow Jesus becomes one of His chosen ones—members of His family.

Start with why, but don’t stop there
Every leader knows that communication is key. But not all communication produces the desired result. A common mistake leaders make is they don’t cover all the bases. To get results, you need to start with the why, but don’t stop there. Communicate the ‘why’ Before you go into anything else, make sure that you’re clear on the ‘why’ behind what you are proposing. If you jump straight into the details of what you want people to do or how you want them to do it, you’ll lose people. They need to be inspired, motivated and encouraged to want to hear what you have to say. It’s not good enough to say, “Do it because I say so.” When someone joins your team or gets involved …
Llamado Para Una Nueva Temporada
Porque muchos son los llamados, pero pocos los escogidos. Mateo 22:14 (NKJV) Cuando Jesús dijo que muchos son los llamados pero pocos los escogidos, ¿qué quiso decir? Algunos piensan que significa que Dios predestinó sólo a algunas personas para ir al cielo. Esta explicación simplemente no tiene sentido, ya que podemos encontrar varios versos diciendo que Dios quiere que todos se salven (Véase 2 Pedro 3: 9, Mateo 18:14, 1 Timoteo 2: 4). La verdad es que él está llamando a cada persona en el planeta a una relación con Él, y todo el mundo que opta por seguir a Jesús se convierte en uno de sus elegidos miembros de su familia. Otros piensan que el versículo de hoy significa que muchos son llamados a …
