YOUR FUTURE BLASTS FROM YOUR HEART

Do not let your adornment be merely outward—arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on fine apparel—rather let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God. 1 Peter 3:3–4 (NKJV) After the Day of Pentecost, the disciples were heroic beyond belief. They did amazing things—performing miracles, raising the dead, healing the sick and casting out devils. They were whipped and beaten, killed and raised to life, shipwrecked for days in shark-infested waters… yet they still kept going. What was it about them that made them so fearless? They spent time cultivating their inner lives—an idea that was once common but seems foreign to most believers today. …

Debemos, pues, esforzarnos por entrar en ese reposo, para que nadie siga el ejemplo de aquellos que no creyeron. Hebreos 4:11 (DHH)  Nuestra salud mental se ve afectada por muchos factores: los desequilibrios hormonales y de neurotransmisores, las circunstancias de la vida, la mala digestión, las deficiencias causadas por la dieta, la falta de sueño y las elecciones de estilo de vida, por nombrar algunos.  Hemos estado en una serie sobre las respuestas bíblicas a los problemas de salud mental, que son una parte importante de un enfoque multifacético para mejorar nuestra salud mental. Hoy hablemos de otro enfoque bíblico importante: trabajar para entrar en el reposo de Dios.  Trabajar y descansar parecen ser completamente opuestos, pero de lo que habla el versículo de hoy …

PRODUCE THE LIFE OF YOUR DREAMS

Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life. Proverbs 4:23 (NLT) The Bible has a lot to say about your heart. It teaches that you can think with your mind, but you can also think with your heart—which acts like the control centre of your life. Psychologists often call this part of you the subconscious. They have a limited understanding of it because they tend to focus mainly on the hurts and heartaches that come out of it, but it holds so much more! Your heart is powerful, which is why Proverbs 23:7 says, “For as he thinks in his heart, so is he.” (NKJV) You are not as you think in your mind, but as you think in …

COMBATA LOS PENSAMIENTOS NEGATIVOS

Pues si la muerte reinó como resultado del delito de un solo hombre, con mayor razón aquellos a quienes Dios, en su gran bondad y gratuitamente, hace justos, reinarán en la nueva vida mediante un solo hombre, Jesucristo. Romanos 5:17 (DHH)  ¿Usted se esconde detrás de una máscara? Tal vez usted piensa que no hay forma de que la gente lo quiera si conocen su verdadero yo o si descubren lo que usted ha hecho.  Cuando nos sentimos así, a menudo también sentimos que Dios no está contento con nosotros, o creemos que debido a que hemos cometido errores, no merecemos la ayuda o las bendiciones de Dios. ¡La verdad es que nosotros no nos calificamos a nosotros mismos para recibir Su amor, aceptación o bendiciones!  …

BUILD YOUR INNER LIFE

Though our outer self is [progressively] wasting away, yet our inner self is being [progressively] renewed day by day. 2 Corinthians 4:16 (AMP) There are two kinds of lives that we build and cultivate—our inner lives and our outer lives. The difficult thing about modern society is that it keeps us focused on the external. Most (if not all) of the inventions over the last 200 years have been focused on the external. They help us to cook and clean faster, look better, enjoy more entertainment, have greater comfort and travel more easily. While I’m certainly not saying that these advancements are negative, we have to be careful. Becoming overly focused on our outer world is absolutely devastating to our inner lives. This inner world …
