¡La Última Buena Noticia!

Los judíos quieren ver señales milagrosas, y los griegos buscan sabiduría; pero nosotros anunciamos a un Mesías crucificado. Esto les resulta ofensivo a los judíos, y a los no judíos les parece una tontería; pero para los que Dios ha llamado, sean judíos o griegos, este Mesías es el poder y la sabiduría de Dios. 1 Corintios 1:22-24 (DHH) Cuando usted se remonta a las raíces del cristianismo en cada país, puede ver cómo la gente tendió a mezclar sus creencias culturales con el cristianismo. Incluso, puede conseguir ejemplos donde creencias muy extrañas se combinaron en-creencias que van directamente en contra de las enseñanzas de Jesús. En el mundo occidental, todo el tiempo mezclamos las creencias de nuestra cultura con el cristianismo. La gente escoge …

Out Of Touch?

I will send you the Holy Spirit just as my Father promised. But stay here in the city until the Holy Spirit comes and fills you with power from heaven. Luke 24:49 (NLT) Some Christians are really good at being contemporary, but they have lost touch with the Spirit. They have plenty of rapport with people, but don’t seem to try to work with or hear from God’s Spirit. The problem is that without Holy Spirit, they have no access to His miracle producing power. Without Him, they offer very little to truly help hurting, lost people who need more than psychological comfort for the pain they’re in. This is why Jesus told His disciples to wait in Jerusalem to receive Holy Spirit before heading …

Be The Best

God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble. James 4:6 (NLT) God doesn’t want you to think you’re worthless. That doesn’t please Him. God wants you to realize that you can be the best. Many Christians may have a real problem with this statement because they have been taught that to follow Christ is to be lowly. Our verse today is absolutely true, God opposes the proud, which is why I’m not saying that God wants you to think you are better than everyone else. However, He does want you to be the very best you can be because this is who he created you to be. When you think about it, believing that you are capable of anything God asks you to …

La Clave para lo Milagroso

Leon FontaineEntregate

El mensaje de la muerte de Cristo en la cruz parece una tontería a los que van a la perdición; pero este mensaje es poder de Dios para los que vamos a la salvación. 1 Corintios 1:18 (DHH) ¿Quiere experimentar más de lo milagroso? La clave para caminar en el increíble amor, gozo, paz, libertad y en las promesas de Dios para su vida, está en la comprensión de lo que sucede desde la cruz hacia el trono. Si tuviera que preguntar a varias personas lo que sintieron que Jesús hizo por nosotros, sería muy interesante. La mayoría de los cristianos diría algo sobre el perdón de nuestros pecados, y estarían en lo cierto – pero solo en parte. ¡Tan increíble cómo es tener el perdón …

Humble And Confident

Don’t think you are better than you really are. Be honest in your evaluation of yourselves, measuring yourselves by the faith God has given us. Romans 12:3 (NLT) Many Christians misunderstand what it means to be humble. They’ve been taught that they have to think lowly of themselves, so they’ll say things like, I’m just a sinner saved by grace, thinking that diminishing their own worth somehow exalts Jesus. They duck compliments and quickly minimize their contributions, but this can come across as wimpy and weak to the rest of the world. This stems from a misunderstanding of Romans 12:3, which warns us not to think more highly of ourselves than we should. But that verse is actually talking about your ability, not your worth …
