Marvin Lorenzana ¿Como hace discipulos tu iglesia?

Jesús era muchas cosas a sus discípulos: profeta, salvador, mesías, y Dios. Sin embargo, a menudo olvidamos de que durante sus tres años de ministerio, Jesús también fungió como maestro discipulador y mentor para sus discípulos. Ciertamente que Jesús de Nazaret no invento el discipulado como forma de entrenamiento pues esta práctica de enseñanza era ya bastante común en su siglo; sin embargo, Jesús hace un uso magistral de este efectivo formato pedagógico para…

Mike Donahoe Law or Faith?

The Law very clearly was used under the Old Covenant as a tutor, a set of rules to basically keep us in line. The Law was there for us to follow, and if we kept it entirely, we would be perfect and could obtain salvation.

Unfortunately, due to the fall of man in the Garden of Eden, evil had control over the earth and we mere men could not live up to the standards of the Law. We kept falling short and were unable to obtain perfect living by the Law.

The Law showed us that we…

Pablo Giacopelli The Inches we need are all around us!

“But blessed are your eyes because they see….” – Jesus

The tallest building in the world is 32604 inches high. It was built inch by inch. Carefully crafted together piece by piece. Now that it is finished we dont see it as an inch by inch structure anymore but instead as the tallest building in the world, though what we really see is what…

Karsten Wille How are you supported financially, when you are/or looking to be in ministry?

This is one of the main issues that prevents full time ministry. Is it however essential to be in ministry full time? From my experience it is something that is left for the few. Even the apostle Paul had to rely on the trade taught to him as a boy according to Jewish custom, making tents out of goats hair to support himself with Aquila.

I think one of the important issues financially in todays church is that we have Chrstian professionals instead of professional christians. This…

Pablo Giacopelli Deep Calls to Deep

Jumping out of the boat, Peter walked on the water to Jesus. But when he looked down at the waves churning beneath his feet, he lost his nerve and started to sink. He cried, “Master, save me!” – Matthew the disciple.

In the last year I have been fortunate enough to live next to the beach. The ocean as you can imagine, coming from South America, has played a very big part in my life particularly during my childhood.

Like all things when one gets…

Pablo Giacopelli Motivation

"GOD…. Test my motives and my heart." - King David

 

We all love to be motivated as it gives us that zest for living that few other things can and do, yet as true as this statement is, why is it that it is such a rare occurrence to come across the opportunity of being able to meet someone who seems to have this kind of consistent…

Malcolm Harris FUNDEMENTALS OF OUR FAITH – PART 5

The Principle of the Doctrine of Baptisms

“Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto maturity; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. “(Heb 6:1-2)

The aspect of this topic that needs clarification is the fact that some versions of the Bible have translated the ‘doctrine of…

Michael, I certainly understand what you're saying. Very few ministers ever speak the TRUTH about the tithe. In OT times, the tithe was the inheritance of the Levites who were not allowed to make a living by any means as was common among the…

Michael Hartson commented on Jim London's blog post 'What do we do when there is no group to join?'
When I think about the most significant points in my Christian walk, they did not take place in an organized, institutionalized environment.  It was incidental to my world, but wholly intentional by God.

Sure, it's intentional.  God is responsible for the Results, we are responsible for the action.  God asks us to share our lives, talk to others about him, love others.  Who gets saved, or what a person does or does not do or what…
