Debes crecer (Efesios 4:11-24), parte 2
Debes crecer. Eso es lo que Pablo les dijo a los efesios. Es decir, que no debían permanecer niños espirituales. La pregunta es, ¿cómo sucede ese crecimiento? Como exploré en el último artículo (véase aquí) , Pablo afirmó que el crecimiento requiere equipamiento. Por ejemplo, para eso están los pastores-maestros, no para hacer todo el […]
God’s Drawing and Spiritual Experiences
People sometimes challenge the claim that you must believe in Jesus for an eternal salvation to be saved by appealing to spiritual experience. They will say, “I know you don’t need to believe in Jesus for everlasting life to be saved, because I was born again years before I understood that salvation is everlasting. I […]
Когда люди злятся на легкое спасение (4 Царств 5:1-19)
Вы когда-то замечали, что люди не просто противятся верить в Божью благодать, но еще и злятся на неё? В своей книге Life Is Impossible: And That’s Good News [Жизнь невозможна: и это хорошая новость] Ник Ланнон говорит о Неемане Сирийском, как о примере кого-то, кто был взбешён из-за вести о легком спасении. Если помните, Нееман […]
Debes crecer (Efesios 4:11-24), parte 1
Aquellos de nosotros que crecimos en los años ochenta y noventa recordaremos una de las sintonías comerciales más famosas de la historia del comercio minorista: No quiero crecer Soy un niño de Toys “R” Us Tienen un millón de juguetes con los que puedo jugar…i Hemos convertido la niñez en un ídolo, ¿no? Cuán a […]
Elton Trueblood on the Ministry of the Pastor
What does it mean to be a pastor? The popular conception is that the pastor is the man who gets paid to do all the ministry—at least, all the important “religious” stuff. He wears special clothes such as a robe and collar. He has the unique authority to marry, bury, and preach. And he is […]
Мы хотим, чтобы нас читали
Одна из самых сложных вещей в служении это уметь ясно определять приоритеты. Так легко отвлечься на неправильные вещи по неправильным причинам вместо того, чтобы сделать то, что действительно необходимо. К примеру, недавно я прочёл два критичных отзыва о нашем служении – одно от профессора, преподающего доктрину Спасения через господство Христа, а другое – от профессора, […]
Does Focusing on the Spirit Mean Ignoring the World?
Question Regarding your blog on being spiritually minded in Rom 8:6, how do you run a business and move forward without some thought to the earthly side of things? The Bible says: For even when we were with you, we used to give you this order: if anyone is not willing to work, then he is […]
Paano Ginagamit Ng Kasalanan Ang Kautusan (Roma 7:8)
Ano nga ang ating sasabihin? Ang kautusan baga’y kasalanan? Huwag nawang mangyari. Datapuwa’t hindi ko sana nakilala ang kasalanan, kundi sa pamamagitan ng kautusan: sapagka’t hindi ko sana nakilala ang kasakiman, kung hindi sinasabi ng kautusan, Huwag kang mananakim: Datapuwa’t ang kasalanan, nang makasumpong ng pagkakataon, ay gumawa sa akin sa pamamagitan ng utos ng […]
Praying Without Ceasing Is Like Being in Love
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God (Phil 4:6). “pray without ceasing” (1 Thess 5:17). How often do you pray to God? Early in my Christian walk, I found I could pray without ceasing. Or near enough! That’s not a boast. […]
Bagong Buhay Sa Espiritu (Roma 7:5-6)
Nais ni Pablo na maunawaan mo kung gaano nakamamatay ang legalistikong espiritwalidad. Nakikita mo na kahit sa mga taong matindi ang paniniwala na hindi ka aariing matuwid sa pamamagitan ng kautusan, nariyan ang tukso na maghakahaka kung ang kautusan ba ay may papel na ginagampanan sa iyong kabanalan. Para kay Pablo ang ganiyang uri ng […]
