Paul echoes this sentiment in today’s verse, warning us not to join others’ obsession with angels or visions. We are to keep our focus on the source: Jesus! Are we supposed to be in awe of angels?

Pablo hace eco de este sentimiento en el versículo de hoy, advirtiéndonos de no unirnos a la obsesión que otros tienen con ángeles o visiones.

Daydreaming: A Biblical Key?

Leon FontaineDevoted

And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you…. Deuteronomy 28: 2 (NKJV) Children have no trouble daydreaming, but as adults, we often discard this habit because we think it’s a waste of time.
