Tampoco yo te condeno; ahora, vete y no vuelvas a pecar. Juan 8:11 (DHH) ¿Alguna vez ha usted conocido a una pareja “poco afín”? En la mayoría de los casos, ambos miembros de la pareja parecen similares en cuanto a su atractivo físico, pero a veces parecen no coincidir. El ejemplo más extremo de esto es cuando usted ve a un hombre mayor con una hermosa novia de 20 y tantos años y se pregunta: “¿Cómo sucedió eso?” Muchos factores están involucrados para que alguien sea deseable para el sexo opuesto, incluyendo la riqueza y el estatus, pero hay otro componente que me gustaría discutir hoy. Se llama atractivo emocional. La falta de atractivo emocional con frecuencia se muestra como ira, frustración e infelicidad. Hay …
Are You Emotionally Attractive?
I do not condemn you either. Go on your way and from now on sin no more. John 8:11 (AMP) Have you ever met a couple who seemed ‘mismatched?’ Most often both partners appear comparable in physical attractiveness, but sometimes they seem mismatched. The most extreme examples of this are when you see an elderly man with his beautiful 20-something bride and you wonder, “How did that happen?” Many factors are involved in being desirable to the opposite sex including wealth and status, but there is another component that I’d like to discuss today. It’s called emotional attractiveness. Emotional unattractiveness often shows itself as anger, frustration and unhappiness. There are several components involved in becoming more emotionally attractive but the first step always involves owning …
Old Habits Keep Creeping Back?
Therefore, brethren, we are debtors—not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. Romans 8:12-13 (NKJV) Have old temptations reared their ugly head lately? Maybe you’ve noticed that negative attitudes or ways of thinking have attempted to creep back into your mind—things you thought that you dealt with years ago. Don’t be discouraged. The answer may be simpler than you think. We all face temptations. If we give in, the effects can be devastating—both for us and for those we influence. Nine times out of ten, the precursor to giving in is the same: failing to …
¿Los viejos hábitos siguen arrastrándolo hacia atrás?
Así pues, hermanos, tenemos una obligación, pero no es la de vivir según las inclinaciones de la naturaleza débil. Porque si viven ustedes conforme a tales inclinaciones, morirán; pero si por medio del Espíritu hacen ustedes morir esas inclinaciones, vivirán. Romanos 8:12-13 (DHH) ¿Las viejas tentaciones han levantado su fea cabeza últimamente? Tal vez usted se haya dado cuenta de que actitudes negativas o formas de pensar han intentado volver a su mente, cosas con las que usted lidiaba hace años. No se desanime. La respuesta puede ser más simple de lo que piensa. Todos enfrentamos tentaciones. Si nos rendimos, los efectos pueden ser devastadores, tanto para nosotros como para aquellos a quienes influenciamos. Nueve de cada diez veces, la razón de rendirse es la …
You Can Only Withdraw What You Deposit
A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things. Matthew 12:35 (NKJV) Your heart is like a bank account; you can only withdraw what you deposit. Throughout your life, beliefs have accumulated in your heart perhaps without your knowledge. Many have come from your parents. Others have come from teachers and friends. You have developed beliefs from books, media and your religious background. The words you speak and your thoughts—what you allow yourself to think—also make deposits into your heart. Every deposit has a corresponding result. For example, if you grew up in a family that was easily offended, you likely feel offended frequently. The only …
