    Damos gracias a Dios porque nos ha perdonado y nos ha permitido ser sus ministros.

    Perdón. Es muy fácil pedir perdón ¿verdad? Pero no es tan fácil perdonar a otros.

    Paul tells his firends at Philippi that they are partners with him in the Fellowship of the gospel as it is expressed in Thanksgiving, Prayer, Love and Service.

    We can cultivate contentment by giving thanks, by realizing that God withholds no good thing from us, and by seeking that which is eternal.

    Joy is a deep, abiding sense of satisfaction and fulfillment that flows from our relationship with Jesus Christ. It is the birthright of every Christian, something purchased for us by Christ, something we all desire and which God desires for us. And yet joy is something which we don’t always ...read more
