Numbers 14-33 and your children shall wander in the wilderness 40 years (desplazarse hacia abajo para español) Numbers 14: 33 And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty years, I was just thinking that the revolution here happened exactly 40 years ago. Now we are having another one. Just when everything […]
Serve
Psalm 100:2 Serve the LORD with gladness; (Español abajo) It’s nice to read different translations of the Bible. The NIV version says to ‘worship the Lord with gladness’. Sounds completely different, doesn’t it? It’s not. God is saying here through His Word that if you aren’t happy to serve Him, DON’T! Kids have nothing to […]
Snares
Psalm 25:15 My eyes are ever on the Lord, for only he will release my feet from the snare. (Español abajo) That verse describes my prayer life since we came to the mission field. I know that this type of prayer has made it possible to continue staying here no matter what. I try to […]
Fear
God said to Moses, “Make a poisonous serpent, and set it on a pole; and everyone who is bitten shall look at it and live.” (Numbers 21:8) (Español abajo) In the wilderness, snakes are scary. In Nicaragua, they kill lots of people. You need to fear snakes down here. It’s smart, not fearful, to have a healthy […]
So
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (Español abajo) “Faith is acting like it is so, even when it is not so, so that it might be so, simply because God said so.” A quote from my friend Ulrik. So… my son […]
Peace
(Español abajo) John 14:27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. Peace by worldly definition means no war or problems. It is a very cheap peace, that creates superficial and shallow people. […]
Secret
(Español abajo) Proverb 11:3 A talebearer revealeth secrets: but he that is of a faithful spirit concealeth the matter. So the joke goes like this… 3 priests got together and said, “We hear confessions all day long. But we have no one to confess our sins to.” “I know!” said one, “Lets confess our sins […]
H.E.L.P.
Genesis 2:20 And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him. (Español abajo) Then God made a woman, to help Adam I’ve noticed Americans are driven to help. We love to fix things. Unfortunately, we sometimes see people as […]
Courage
Joshua 1:9 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest. (Español abajo) Courage is doing what needs to be done, in the face of fear or danger of loss. Courage is not the same thing as recklessness. It’s more likely to […]
Tribulation
John 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. I have never seen that verse stuck to a refrigerator, nor anywhere else for that matter. It should be though! It should bring great consolation to us. Tribulation means a […]
