as soon as he stops repenting

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...

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) Pre Did you know that the words "conscience" and "co-working" share the same root in ancient Greek?

I’m thinking of the Garden of Eden—that was our first task. For the first married couple, life was full of joy, excitement, and new challeng...

"And because you are sons [and daughters], God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, “Abba, Father!”" Galatians 4:6 It is a well-known prayer even for non-Christians. However, not many people know that it is basically a prayer pattern and not a mantra that loses its meaning after a while. Many people today pray it auto­matically. Jesus the King prays it systematically . We need to rephrase some of the following expres­sions to make their meaning clearer.  We must see that Jesus Christ showed this pattern to his disciples to give them a framework for their daily prayer. It is a preference & reference too: for Jesus, the key issue is that God's names be known and His Kingdom be here on Earth in the splendour and power as it is in Heaven. In other words - that the Heaven would touch Earth and God's restoration would be at work. When Heaven touches the Earth our perspective is restored. We can read i...
