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!!

The Danger in Being a Christian: It began as a Jewish sect; fierce persecution only helped it spread Today's reading: 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.

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, St...

One Day at a Time - May 21

Reflection on Genesis 44:33 Sometimes we get a second chance. When we do, it’s important to seize the opportunity. That’s what Judah did. When his brothers wanted to kill Joseph, Judah didn’t rescue Joseph but instead suggested that they sell him as a slave (see Genesis 37:26–27 ). His second chance came when Benjamin’s life appeared to be in danger. This time Judah put his own life on the line to protect his half brother, Rachel’s other son. Perhaps this commitment was taken into account in the blessings that God inspired Jacob to give his sons; eventually the Messiah came through Judah’s descendants (see Genesis 49:10 ). God often gives us second chances in life. When he does, we need to take advantage of the opportunity and set things right.
