The Good Shepherd and His Sheep

August 24, 2024 1 Comment

I’m like a sheep. I need a shepherd who has already given his life to rescue me from wolves. I need the good shepherd, Jesus, as my shepherd. Because Jesus is my shepherd, I know that if I listen to him, I will hear his voice calling me. I can be sure that I am his because I recognize his voice.

El Buen Pastor y Sus Ovejas

August 24, 2024 0 Comments

Soy como oveja. Necesito un pastor que ya ha dado su vida para rescatarme de los lobos.  Necesito al buen pastor, Jesús, como mi pastor. Debido a que Jesús es mi pastor, sé que si lo escucho, escucharé su voz llamándome. Puedo estar seguro de que soy suyo porque reconozco su voz.

¿No es una «relación» con Jesús lo que necesito?

August 22, 2024 0 Comments

¿No es una «relación» con Jesús lo que necesito? Sí, y no. La Biblia nunca dice que necesitamos solo cualquiera relación con Jesús. En cambio, se nos habla de relaciones que involucran a personas que saben quiénes son, y que reconocen la voz de Jesús y la obedecen.

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.

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!

If we are doing what we are supposed to be doing, we should expect to see some earthquakes, volcanoes, seizures, fires, and other things that drastically change the lives of the people around us–though in a good direction–toward love and good deeds.

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.

And I think I have problems?

God’s people had been ruled by God as their King. But they had forgotten him. Still, Samuel said to them, “And as for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the Lord in ceasing to pray for you.”
