    Nos gusta leer historias con un final feliz. Nos encantan los cuentos de hadas porque, al fin, se casan y viven felices para siempre. Hay algo en la prosperidad y en una vida de éxito que nos llama la atención.

    En camino al éxito Todos los humanos, hombres y mujeres, caemos en dos categorías, cuando hablamos del éxito en esta vida: Aquellos que tienen éxito y aquellos que no lo tienen. Dentro de estas categorías están las subdivisiones de aquellos que están en camino hacia el éxito y aquellos que alguna ...read more

    The one necessary ingredient for effective service before the Lord is power. This is what few contemporary Christians have, perhaps because they are uncertain what they should look for.

    You will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth. When the disciples came down from the upper room, an impossible task loomed before them. They were charged to announce that Jesus ...read more

     | 3,644 views

    James exposes the difference between religion that comforts us and religion that reveals the power of Christ among us.

    JAMES 1:26 RELIGION CONDEMNED “If anyone thinks he is religious and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this person’s religion is worthless.” Someone has said, “You can’t believe half of what you hear, but you can repeat it.” This points out a real problem in the church today—we ...read more

    Priorities of God – in view of the life of Job Job 1: 1-3 (NIV) Today let us look at the life of Job and learn something. Let us read the first verse of the book of Job In the land of Uz there lived a man whose name was Job. This man was blameless and upright; he feared God and shunned evil. 2 ...read more

    based on 9 ratings
     | 9,736 views

    We can be hearers of the Word and deceive ourselves, or we can be doers of the Word and be blessed. James calls each Christian to be a doer of the Word, receiving the blessing of doing what God commands.

    JAMES 1:22-25 MIRROR, MIRROR ON THE WALL… “Be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks intently at his natural face in a mirror. For he looks at himself and goes away and at once forgets what ...read more

     | 5,410 views

    Is the Christian life a constant challenge to improve and please God, or a soft rocking chair of comfort as we wait for heaven? The truth is somewhere in the middle.

    Sometimes it seems that the Christian community is divided into two different camps. One camp views the Christian life as one of a constant challenge to do better, to try harder, to work to please God. And the other extreme tends to see the Christian life as basking in the warm glow of salvation ...read more
