Lo que piensa Dios sobre el dinero

5 de diciembre de 2012
El dinero juega un papel muy importante en nuestra existencia. De hecho, es imposible vivir sin él. ¿Cómo podríamos comprar comida, tener techo y comprar ropa? Pero es más que un medio para adquirir artículos de primera necesidad. La búsqueda de dinero ha dominado la historia de la humanidad. Por éste se han librado guerras, se han arruinado vidas y personas han muerto. Para tener una perspectiva correcta del dinero, los cristianos deben entender lo que piensa el Señor del mismo.
Dios es la fuente. Todo se origina del Creador y, por tanto, todo le pertenece a Él (Sal 24.1). Esto significa que no somos más que administradores del dinero que Él nos ha confiado. Aunque trabajamos para ganarlo, Dios es quien nos ha dado las oportunidades y las capacidades para hacerlo.
El Señor usa el dinero para sus propósitos. No podemos separar nuestras finanzas de nuestro cristianismo. Dios no da dinero solo para nuestras necesidades físicas, lo utiliza para transformarnos espiritualmente. En tiempos de necesidad, nos enseña a confiar en Él y demuestra que es fiel al proveerlo. El dinero es también una herramienta que Dios usa para enseñarnos autodisciplina. En vez de abandonarnos a nuestros deseos, aprendemos a buscar su voluntad y a estar satisfechos con lo que tenemos. Además, el Señor usa el dinero para enseñarnos a ser generosos y altruistas.
Tome un billete de dinero de su billetera y mírelo; ese pedazo de papel es un poderoso instrumento en manos del Señor cuando usted le da autoridad sobre ese dinero y coopera con el plan del Señor. Cuando usted vea un billete, recuerde que lo que hace con él revela su carácter.

Dios te bendiga!
Amen

In His Eyes

July 23, 2012 Mary Southerland Today's Truth I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be ( Psalm 139:14-15 , NIV). Friend to Friend It was my first day of teaching second grade. While standing at the classroom door, greeting parents and children, I felt a tug on my skirt. I looked down into the beautiful blue eyes of Sammy, one of my new students.  His mother, who was standing beside Sammy, looked at me and said, "I guess you've heard about Sammy.  Good luck!" As she walked away, Sammy said, "She's right. I'm dumb and mean and can't read or write."  Lisa was a tall, blonde and beautiful young woman with zero self-confidence. Lisa was...

The Danger in Being a Christian: It began as a Jewish sect; fierce persecution only helped it spread

Acts 8 Acts 8:1 On that day a great persecution broke out against the church at Jerusalem, and all except the apostles were scattered throughout Judea and Samaria. 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...
