Suneidesis & Sunergos — God's Wisdom for every day “Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life.” Proverbs 4:23 Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my thoughts. See if there is any hurtful way in me, and lead me in the ancient way. Psalm 139:23-24 Pre Did you know that the words "conscience" and "co-working" share the same root in ancient Greek? That small discovery opened up something much bigger for me. What connects the inner voice of conscience with the outward dynamics of community life? This article explores a striking fractal pattern hidden within two Greek words — suneidesis (conscience) and synergía (synergy, co-working) — both rooted in the same prefix syn- , "together." One shaping us inwardly, the other connecting us outwardly. The dynamic between the two is surprisingly overlooked today. Man and woman were created to live in...
series: Our Living Word 2/4 Unveiling a surprising blind spot ..which is really important to Jesus. Hosea’s prophecy is an important key for Christianity, and we can confidently say the same for all of humanity, because the Lord Jesus Christ teaches this verse twice: Once for the sake of his disciples. Once for the sake of the whole world. I desire steadfast love (mercy) and not sacrifice, the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings.

Rather, He talks about His ultimate Peace Plan - giving us a fundamental prophecy about His messianic calling, identity and ministry. I'm going ...
Martyn Lloyd-Jones: "Autoridad" ... el problema es que siempre empezamos por nosotros mismos y nuestros esfuerzos y pedimos a Dios que los bendiga. ¿Cuándo fue la última vez que oíste a alguien orar por un avivamiento, orar para que Dios abra las ventanas del cielo y derrame su Espíritu? ¿Cuándo fue la última vez que usted mismo oró por eso? Sugiero seriamente que estamos descuidando esto casi por completo. Somos culpables de olvidar la autoridad del Espíritu Santo. Estamos tan interesados en nosotros mismos y en nuestras propias actividades que nos hemos olvidado del que nos hace eficaces. Por todos los medios sigamos orando por los esfuerzos particulares, por el ministro y su predicación de cada domingo, por todas las organizaciones esenciales y por las campañas evangelísticas, si nos sentimos impulsados a tenerlas. Pero antes de todo, y después de todo, oremos y supliquemos por un reavivamiento. Cuando Dios envía un reavivamiento, puede hacer má...
