In a world where everybody is allowed to create their own truth, which at the end, is not really truth, but a lie, it is refreshing to know that one of the main roles of the church should be, to be “… a pillar and buttress of the truth.”[1] We can be confident that we are […]

What a Relationship with God is Not
God wants a close relationship with you and I, as a matter of fact, He desires that our relationship with Him be number one. We are called, from the Old to the New Testament to love God above all things. However, it seems we always look for shortcuts. I guess is human nature! The problem […]

The Issue of Discipline
Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? So run that you may obtain it. 25 Every athlete exercises self-control in all things.

Let me ask you a question, when the world look at us Christians, do they admire us for our great discipline? For how well we take care of our bodies? For how emotionally sound we are? Or, even for our spirituality? I am afraid they don’t. In the name of grace and, in the name […]

Cuando Dios te Deja Hacer lo que Te da la Gana
Vivimos en un mundo en donde los valores en nuestras sociedades y culturas está virado patadas arriba. Parece ser que ya las verdades absolutas no existen. Dios es rechazado abiertamente.

7 Características del Apóstol 2
Se calcula que en el Nuevo Testamento encontramos alrededor de 30 apóstoles, contando los apóstoles originales. Esto es significativo, ya que es claro que los apóstoles no eran muchos. Es la naturaleza del apóstol el viajar extensamente ya que cubrían enormes áreas geográficas. En Primera de Corintios 1:1 la Biblia nos dice “Pablo, llamado a […]
