Safe Place To Land

Leon FontaineDevoted

[He has given us a spirit] of power and of love and of calm and well-balanced mind and discipline and self-control. 2 Timothy 1:7 (AMPC) We cannot be rescued from every stressful situation. Pressure and responsibility are a part of life, but this doesn’t mean that we don’t have help. Parents who drop their kids off at preschool or kindergarten for the first time know this firsthand. They often get emotional because they know that they were able to shelter and protect their child to a great degree up until that point. They know school will inevitably bring a new set of challenges. Through it all, however, the child’s relationship with mom and dad is a safe place to land, or at least that’s the …

Como enfrentar las tormentas

Leon FontaineEntregate

Pelea la buena batalla de la fe; no dejes escapar la vida eterna, pues para eso te llamó Dios y por eso hiciste una buena declaración de tu fe delante de muchos testigos. 1 Timoteo 6:12 (DHH) Dios tiene un destino para su vida. Mucho antes de que usted viniera, él sabía que usted vendría. Sabía cuándo y dónde nacería, quiénes serían sus padres, el tipo de oportunidades que tendría y él tiene un plan para su vida. El destino que le ha sido dado por Dios es el mejor plan para su vida, y a través de sus decisiones cotidianas, usted decide si va o no por ese camino. Al estudiar la Palabra de Dios y aprender a escuchar su guía, usted comenzará a caminar por …

Maneras de alabanza: hacer música

Leon FontaineEntregate

¡Alábenlo con toques de trompeta! ¡Alábenlo con arpa y salterio! ¡Alábenlo danzando al son de panderos! ¡Alábenlo con flautas e instrumentos de cuerda! ¡Alábenlo con platillos sonoros! ¡Alábenlo con platillos vibrantes! ¡Que todo lo que respira alabe al Señor! ¡Aleluya! Salmo 150:3-6 (DHH) Durante los últimos días hemos estado discutiendo diferentes maneras de alabar a Dios. Alabar a Dios es una gran manera de estar más conscientes de su presencia en nosotros como creyentes, que es algo que necesitamos cada día. Hemos hablado de las muchas maneras de alabar a Dios que se mencionan en la Biblia. Podemos cantar, gritar, hacer ruido alegre, reír, dar gracias, estar de pie, arrodillarnos, aplaudir, bailar y levantar las manos. Hacer música es otra manera más de alabar a Dios que se …

Hang On To Hope

Leon FontaineDevoted

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1 (KJV) According to Hebrews 11:1, “faith is the substance of things hoped for.” When you lose hope and begin to doubt that you can have everything God has promised you, faith stops working. You need to hang on to hope and stay in faith. If you’re feeling discouraged, it’s time to hang on to hope. I have counselled with many married couples who have begun to lose hope. They will start saying things like, “He’ll never change. It’s pointless to even try.” The problem is that they’ve allowed a bad period of time to cause them to forget about all the good times. They’ve let themselves get down …

Motivated To Really Hear

Leon FontaineDevoted

The measure [of thought and study] you give [to the truth you hear] will be the measure [of virtue and knowledge] that comes back to you—and more [besides] will be given to you who hear. Mark 4:24 (AMPC) If you struggled with a debilitating condition with your health and had the chance to hear a lecture from an expert who just discovered the cure, how motivated would you be to listen? I’m sure you would be on the edge of your seat. Another person who just happened to attend but had no real connection to the condition might be bored, but not you. What’s the difference? Motivation. When you listen to God’s Word being taught, do you listen with a motivated expectancy? The more you …
