“Vive sin pretender, ama sin depender, escucha sin defender y habla sin ofender.” “Live without pretending, love without depending, listen without defending and speak without offending.”
Remembering Nabeel Qureshi (1983-2017)
“All suffering is worth it to follow Jesus. He is that amazing.” Nabeel Qureshi, Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus: A Devout Muslim Encounters Christianity “Why this Muslim-turned-Christian speaker resonated with so many before his death at 34” By Ravi Zacharias, The Washington Post
Set Free
“Through the Redemption, God undertakes to deal with a man’s past, and He does it in two ways: by forgiving him, and by making the past a wonderful culture for the future.” Oswald Chambers, in Run Today’s Race By: Gabriela Yareliz Today, I read something that moved me deeply.

“Live! Come alive!”
“A good marriage, if we cherish each other as God cherished Jerusalem (see Ezekiel 16), is to proclaim to our spouses, ‘Live!’ We see them in their very weaknesses, and even ocasional ugliness, breathe life into each other and refresh each other.

It was also probably a provocative affair for those watching who haveContinue reading “I Am Not Your Spic”
Sabbath Inspiration: June 10, 2017
“But you must stubbornly walk into that room, regardless, and you must hold your head high. You made it; you get to put it out there. Never apologize for it, never explain it away, never be ashamed of it. You did your best with what you knew, and you worked with what you had, inContinue reading “Sabbath Inspiration: June 10, 2017”
Wednesday Inspiration: May 10, 2017
“Don’t miss this. This is the heart of Christianity. This is what sets our faith off from all other major religions. Our God does not need our service, nor is He glorified by recruits who want to help Him out.
