By: Gabriela Yareliz Spirituality is not about convenience and whatever makes you feel good. In fact, if we feel good and comfortable–there may be a problem. Our spiritual lives are compared to a race, something we need endurance for–something difficult and strenuous. 2 Timothy 4:7-8 7 I have fought the good fight, I have finishedContinue reading “The purity of a message”

Who is your Shepherd?
Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. 1 Peter 5:8 A Spiritual metaphor from Dr.Tony Evans: If you stare at the lion, he’ll scare you.

Purposes veiled in mystery
God’s purposes are often veiled in mystery; they are incomprehensible to finite minds; but He who sees the end from the beginning knows better than we. What we need is to cleanse us from earthliness, to perfect our Christian character, that the robe of Christ’s righteousness shall be put upon us…. Faith, patience, forbearance, heavenly-mindedness,Continue reading “Purposes veiled in mystery”
Lunatic, Liar or Lord; Remembering Good Friday
