Isn’t a “Relationship” with Jesus what I need?

August 22, 2024 0 Comments

Isn’t a “Relationship” with Jesus what I need? Yes, and no. The Bible never says that we need just some “relationship,” any “relationship” with Jesus. Instead, we are told of several specific relationships that involve people who know who they are, and who recognize the voice of Jesus and obey it.

The Story of Regina

August 22, 2024 0 Comments

Explanation of the letter I have written to Regina Oliveira. She was an important part of the surreal story of my life from 1984 to 1991, then she disappeared. Her love sustained us in a very difficult time. This story teaches that you can’t know how much the kindness you do today will change the world forty years from now.

An important decision about my articles

August 22, 2024 0 Comments

The most important lesson of the last six months of my life is: to be who I am without reservation, without restraint. I’m a teacher, not a mushroom. And I participate in a Hispanic church. Therefore, I will write in Spanish first.

Encouragers/ Exhorters: Be who you are!

August 21, 2024 0 Comments

Each member has his or her own gifts, which are not the same as those of other members. The Church needs all our gifts. We are to be the persons that God has made us to be fully, unreservedly, completely in proportion to the faith. To Encouragers/ Exhorters, God says: “Be who you are!” The rest of us would be in a bad place without you!

Si estamos haciendo lo que se supone que debemos hacer, debemos esperar ver algunos terremotos, volcanes, convulsiones, incendios y otras cosas que cambian drásticamente la vida de las personas que nos rodean, aunque en una buena dirección, hacia el amor y las buenas obras.
