By: Missionary and martyr Bill McChesney I want my breakfast served at eight With ham and eggs upon the plate. A well-broiled steak I’ll eat it on And dine again when day is done. I want an ultramodern home And in each room a telephone; Soft carpets, too, upon the floor And pretty drapes toContinue reading “My Choice”

Broken
When you break God’s boundaries, the one who ends up broken is you.- (paraphrase) Ravi Zacharias
2 Corinthians 4:6
For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
The Prayer of FrançoisVillon
By: Gabriela Yareliz Lyrics and music by B. Okudzhava As long as the world’s still turning, As long as the air’s still sweet, Lord, won’t you give to all of us Whatever it is we need. Give a mind to the wise one, A shield to the enemy, Give some gold to the happy man,Continue reading “The Prayer of FrançoisVillon”
Memorable remark from a pastor and his loss-stricken heart
By: Gabriela Yareliz Today, I heard a testimony of a young pastor whose wife recently passed away. They weren’t even married much beyond their first year, I believe. Her strength and faith, and his peace and love have captivated many hearts. Something he shared today (quote from memory): “I have not and will not, ever,Continue reading “Memorable remark from a pastor and his loss-stricken heart”
Elijah, the man of faith
By: Gabriela Yareliz These excerpts are taken from chapter 13 in the book, Prayer, by Ellen G. White. We have a God whose ear is not closed to our petitions; and if we prove His word, He will honor our faith. He wants us to have all our interests interwoven with His interests, and thenContinue reading “Elijah, the man of faith”
That which you have not asked for
By: Gabriela Yareliz I was studying today in 1 Kings chapter 3, continuing my trek through the old testament. I was looking at how Solomon is establishing his kingdom after his father’s death. I was impressed by the verse where God asks Solomon what he desires. In verse 5, God says: At Gibeon the LordContinue reading “That which you have not asked for”
Shadow Men
Jason: “Only a God can save us”? Archie: I didn’t say some preacher could. But what a story. Jason: Story? Archie: The Jesus thing. God, the Creator of the universe, becoming a man, suffering worse than any person suffered, suffering an injustice worse than any of us can suffer? Incredible! I forgot that’s what ChristiansContinue reading “Shadow Men”
Going deeper
By: Gabriela Yareliz Sometimes in life, we make the same mistakes over and over again, or the storms keep ripping(figuratively, of course) the limbs off of the trees and all that surrounds us. Sometimes, we worry, and we seek so many things at the same time. It can be overwhelming. Today, I heard Pastor Tony Evans sayContinue reading “Going deeper”
When it feels like you are on ‘pause’
Compiled by: Gabriela Yareliz “Not without design does God write the music of our lives. Be it ours to learn the tune, and not be dismayed at the “rests.” They are not to be slurred over, not to be omitted, not to destroy the melody, not to change the keynote. If we look up, GodContinue reading “When it feels like you are on ‘pause’”
