Acaso olvidaron las palabras...

¿Acaso olvidaron las palabras de aliento con que Dios les habló a ustedes como a hijos? Él dijo: «Hijo mío, no tomes a la ligera la disciplina del    SEÑOR y no te des por vencido cuando te corrija. Pues el SEÑOR disciplina a los que ama y castiga a todo el que recibe como hijo».
Ninguna disciplina resulta agradable a la hora de recibirla. Al contrario, ¡es dolorosa! Pero después, produce la apacible cosecha de una vida recta para los que han sido entrenados por ella. (Hebreos 12:5, 6, 11 NTV) Acepto mi disciplina oh Dios y enséñame la apacible cosecha. Orar sin cesar 2014!!

In some countries, a person who becomes a Christian forfeits a good education and job. And in a few countries, a person who converts risks his or her life. One church historian estimates that more Christians were martyred in the twentieth century than in all preceding centuries put together. Yet, strangely, more often than not, intense persecution of Christians leads to a spurt of growth in the church. An ancient saying expresses this phenomenon: “The blood of martyrs is the seed of the church.” The First Big Advance For a while, the new faith enjoyed popular favor. But very soon it involved grave risk. In the book of Acts, the persecution that produced the first Christian martyr, Stephen, ironically brought about the advance of Christianity outside its Jewish base. Forced out of stormy Jerusalem, the scatterin...
