JOVENES PARA CRISTO

Tim Tebow is America's most famous unemployed athlete.  Since his release from the New York Jets , the Heisman Trophy winner has been without a team.  What are his plans? Last week, during a speech at Lake Michigan College, the quarterback told the crowd how he sees his future : "What I want to do with my life is impacting lives.  When a kid in a hospital is fighting for his life and I'm trying to win a football game, what really matters?  This game isn't as important as a lot of us make it out to be.  If I can give him a little bit of hope, I can do something that matters.  That's what I want my legacy to be about.  That's how I want to be remembered." He is already getting his wish.  A survey published by Forbes magazine recently named him America's most influential athlete.  Forbes explains Tebow's significance: "His clean living and public religious values make him a role model for many, even if they render him polarizing in some quar...

Tú creaste mis entrañas; me formaste en el vientre de mi madre. ¡Te alabo porque soy una creación admirable! ¡Tus obras son maravillosas, y esto lo sé muy bien! Mis huesos no te fueron desconocidos cuando en lo más recóndito era yo formado, cuando en lo más profundo de la tierra era yo entretejido. (Salmos 139:13-15 NVI) Por esto y muchas cosas más Gloria a Dios nuestro Padre Celestial. Esta debe de ser tu meta principal !! Orar sin cesar!! Dios te bendiga!! Amén 

When President Obama delivered the keynote at Ohio State's graduation last weekend, who knew how ironic his words would be? "Unfortunately," he told the class of 2013, "you've grown up hearing voices that incessantly warn of government as nothing more than some separate, sinister entity that's at the root of all our problems... They'll warn that tyranny is always lurking just around the corner. You should reject these voices." Well, turns out, the voices were right. Only now, the tyranny is no longer lurking around the corner--it's officially arrived. In an unfolding government corruption scandal that may very well eclipse Watergate, the IRS is finally admitting what some congressmen suspected all along: that the administration was using the agency as a hired thug to punish and silence conservatives. The conspiracy, which started as early as 2010 and may have affected as many as 500 conservative and Christian groups, used the IRS to antagoni...

Hebrews 3 The uniqueness of Jesus Hebrews 3:3 Jesus has been found worthy of greater honor than Moses, just as the builder of a house has greater honor than the house itself. In time, a work of art by a great artist gains enormous value because of its creator’s reputation. Even a musty notebook full of scratchings, if found to be Leonardo da Vinci’s, would suddenly be worth millions of dollars. Similarly, every house designed by American architect Frank Lloyd Wright retains high value simply because of his name. To dramatize his argument that Christ is superior to any religious system, the author of Hebrews uses an analogy: Which has greater honor, the builder of a house or the house itself? Obviously, the builder has more honor; the house is just one expression of his genius. In a Category by Himself Likewise, Hebrews says, Christ has more honor than anyone else on Earth. As Creator of the universe, he actually designed and made all people (see Hebrews 1:2 ). That p...

Jesús se acercó entonces a ellos y les dijo: —Se me ha dado toda autoridad en el cielo y en la tierra. Por tanto, vayan y hagan discípulos de todas las naciones, bautizándolos en el nombre del Padre y del Hijo y del Espíritu Santo, enseñándoles a obedecer todo lo que les he mandado a ustedes. Y les aseguro que estaré con ustedes siempre, hasta el fin del mundo. (Mateo 28:18-20 NVI) Cuantas veces más Jesús tiene que acercarse a donde tu estas, en vez de ser tu el interesado. No lo dejes para muy tarde nadie sabe del día de mañana que traerá su propio afán. Orar sin cesar!! Dios te bendiga!! Amén 

Leer | FILIPENSES 3.7-11 15 de mayo de 2013 El mundo está lleno de consejos sobre cómo fijarnos metas y lograrlas. En cada caso, los pasos empiezan con nosotros —identificar qué queremos llegar a ser, y lo que tenemos que hacer para ser “exitosos”. Sin embargo, para el cristiano, el fijarse metas comienza con una actitud y un enfoque centrados en Dios. Con el deseo de ser lo que Dios quiera que sea, y de confiar en que el Señor le dará dirección en todos los aspectos de su vida. Estos aspectos implican identificar los pasos que Dios quiere que tomemos, pero muchas veces no seguimos su camino. Pensemos en qué es lo que nos detiene. A algunas personas les falta conocimiento en cuanto a cómo identificar el plan del Señor, mientras que otras son perezosas. La solución en ambos casos es prestar atención a la Palabra de Dios. Si invertimos tiempo en estudiar la vida de Jesús y su Palabra, aprenderemos sus normas para la vida, y entonces seremos capaces de identificar los pasos esp...

You probably attended church services yesterday.  It's possible that an atheist you know did as well, in a way.  The rise of "atheist churches" is an oxymoronic fact in our culture. One of the fastest-growing is in London.  Its leader asks , "Why is it that people who are atheists get married in a church?"  He then answers his question: "There is just something about these places, it's a place of worship, where people have gone for more than 400 years and it's the sort of place where your heart can rise up to those inspired things which is great."  Here's my question: What "inspired things" can their hearts "rise up to" if the God who inspired them doesn't exist? We might expect "atheist churches" in England, where Christianity has been in decline for decades.  But what about Houston, Texas, my hometown and arguably the "buckle of the Bible belt"?  A group called Houston Oasis describes itself ...
