This Saturday Night Service is a great opportunity for you to take advantage of. Invite your friends, neighbors, and co-workers (who might not want to come to church on a Sunday morning)!

Witness

“You are my witnesses,” declares the Lord, “and my servants whom I have chosen, so that you may know and believe Me and understand that I am He. Before me no god was formed, nor will there be one after me.” – Isaiah 43:10

This verse has been a reminder to me about how close God wants us to be to Him. We live in Christian culture that knows all ABOUT God. There are books upon books dedicated to teaching folks about His character, His Spirit, His Sovereignty, His Power. I have even seen books dedicated to His humor. Though all of these things are good, this verse tell us that God has set us apart to KNOW Him and UNDERSTAND Him, to be His WITNESS.

“You Asked For It” Series

We all have questions.

What does God say about sexuality and gender issues? If God is good, why is there so much suffering in the world? Who would God vote for as President? Sometimes, it’s hard to find the answers we need. In our upcoming 15-week series, You Asked For It, you’ll have a chance to discover answers to the questions you’ve been asking.

Dry Bones

“O Sovereign Lord,” I replied, “you alone know the answer to that.” — Ezekiel 37:3b

This is the prophet’s response to a question God had just asked him. The Lord had led the prophet Ezekiel to a valley filled with dry bones. After looking at the bones, God asked Ezekiel, “Can these bones become living people again?”

Perdonar

“No tomen venganza, hermanos míos, sino dejen el castigo en las manos de Dios, porque está escrito: «Mía es la venganza; yo pagaré», dice el Señor.” – Romanos 12:19 (NVI)

El perdonar es un acto que proviene de nuestro deseo (tomar una decisión). Recientemente conversaba con una persona en la iglesia, quien me dijo: “Realmente, no siento (sentimiento que nace del corazón) el perdonar a mi amiga” – yo entendí que las emociones de esta persona se encontraban muy alteradas, y que su dolor aún era muy real. Pero, después de oír su historia, y de mostrar mi comprensión en cuanto a su situación, le recordé que el perdonar no es opcional. Es más, el perdonar es un mandamiento: “…de modo que se toleren unos a otros y se perdonen si alguno tiene queja contra otro. Así como el Señor los perdonó, perdonen también ustedes.” – Colosenses 3:13 (NVI)

Forgiveness

“Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: ‘It is mine to avenge; I will repay,’ says the Lord.”— Romans 12:19 (NIV)

Forgiveness is an act of the will. I recently talked to a person at church who told me, “I don’t feel like forgiving my friend.” She was obviously emotional and hurting and her pain was very real. After listening to her story and empathizing with her situation, I reminded her that forgiveness was not an option. In fact, we are commanded to forgive: “Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.” — Colossians 3:13 (NIV).

Con la Mente en el Cielo

La maldad que vemos hoy en día en el mundo me ha causado mucho dolor últimamente. Me he sentido muy triste, incluso al punto de llorar. Si nos identificamos con el dolor de aquellas personas que han perdido a seres queridos, por toda esta violencia sin razón, usted sentirá un pesar que será difícil de soportar. Niños que no volverán a ver a sus padres, madres que no verán a sus hijos volviendo a casa, amigos y compañeros que mueren por hombres sedientos de sangre. ¡Esto es algo que no debería de suceder!

Heavenly Minded

The wickedness of this world has been totally devastating me lately. I have been sorrowful and I have even cried. If you allow yourself to empathize with the families who have lost loved ones because of senseless acts of violence, you will indeed feel a burden that is too great to bear. Young children whose dads will not return home from duty, mothers whose children will never walk through the door again, friends and co-workers killed by bloodthirsty, pathetic men. It is an outrage and it should stop!
