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.

God highly values reconciliation

August 16, 2024 0 Comments

God values conciliation very much. And the responsibility is mine, not yours. I can’t serve God while I know that you hold something against me.

You Are Not the One to Build, Part 1: God’s Work, God’s Reputation, and My Acclaim

July 9, 2023 4 Comments

The first of a series of videos about God giving people things to start which he does not then permit them to finish. God does this for his own glory, and, sometimes to protect his own reputation, as was the case in King David’s preparations to build a Temple–and also in my own life.

Encouragement, good and bad, and the importance of “Today”

June 15, 2023 0 Comments

When God told the people to go in and he would give them his promise “Today,” they did not trust he was good. So they believed their fears instead. As a result, they could not go in, as he had said, “tomorrow.”

Commands I Can’t Keep If God Doesn’t Speak to Me

March 20, 2023 0 Comments

If God never speaks to me, it will be impossible for me to keep his commands to keep a soft heart toward his words, to hear and obey him “TODAY”, while I am still hearing him. Beginning the discussion of entering God’s rest today, while God is speaking to me–and the consequences of Israel’s rejection of his voice.

June 20, 2022 0 Comments

The Scriptures generally draw a qualitative distinction between “sin,” in the singular, and “sins,” in the plural. “Sin” is our inward attitude of rebellion against God. “Sins” are bad actions. This post gives a series of examples from James and First and Second Peter.
