Desiring mercy - love

Image
When Jesus/Yeshua/Isa was humiliated and lashed he had to learn the total annihilation. Annihilation by Sin and the mechanically used Law. By Sin: through our human cruel nature. By Law: through human "rules" the misunderstanding of the Holy Law, the ineffectiveness of the so called Law-culture. Facing its cruelty when it faces the mercy, release, grace and the domain of reconciliation. Hos 6:6 says: "I desire mercy {loyalty-love}   not sacrifice The knowledge of Gd   not burnt offerings" This is an essential ingredient for the dynamic of the Kingdom, even today. Knowledge of Gd = faithful loyal love. Mercy, (even when confronted with secular order, trend, or religious spirits) = sync with Gd. Consequently: If The knowledge of Gd is mercy, it's action. The knowledge of Gd is knowing/practicing His thoughts and living out them: This is how we read: "walking in the Truth" . John says: I was very glad when some brother...

Reset

(our spiritual and mental hygiene) This article is part of the "Vitalize" pack Our salvation and our adoption has been prepared in advance (Eph 1:4-6) by His love, but our lives continue to go on in this disordered, ungodly world. The Lord Jesus and his apostles take great care to maintain the hygiene of our lives. They never confuse salvation with sanctification . 2Cor 7:1 Therefore, dear friends, since we have such promises, let us cleanse ourselves from every impurity of the flesh and spirit, completing our sanctification in the fear of God. Let's start with the well-known scene: Remember that Jesus Christ washed the feet of his disciples. During supper,... Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands,... rose from supper. He laid aside his outer garments, and taking a towel, tied it around his waist. Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples’ feet and to wipe them with the towel t...

El Oseas 6:6

Image
Estudio. diferentes pensamientos y conexiones con Oseas 6:6 Un sorprendente punto ciego ..que es importante para Jesús Como vimos en la primera parte de la serie "Palabra viva", nuestras posibilidades han cambiado y se han ampliado fundamentalmente con la llegada de Jesu-Christo. Voy a mostrarte algunos versículos importantes y útiles de este contexto profético. Su misericordia y su gracia serán así más visibles. Porque quiero misericordia, y no sacrificios; conocimiento de Dios más que Holocaust os.. Oseas 6:6 [Reina-Valera] Jesús citó las palabras del profeta Oseas dos veces y en dos situaciones diferentes. Lo que para nosotros no suele ser más que una "rectificación profética" de una crisis del Antiguo Testamento, para el Señor son dos ámbitos de importancia crucial para la Iglesia en todo tiempo de alianza y para todo creyente. Descifremos juntos esta advertencia intemporal. Hos 6:6 - 1Pedro 2:9 Hemos visto en el ...

La "amabilidad/bondad" cultural

Image
por Anne Kerhoulas La bondad parece estar en todas partes hoy en día. Está en carteles de jardín y barras de granola, camisetas y carteles para tu casa. Aunque la amabilidad no es nueva, "¡Sé amable!" se ha convertido en un eslogan no oficial, la moneda con la que funciona una cultura impregnada de tolerancia, afirmación y aceptación. Pero a pesar de todo lo que se habla sobre la amabilidad, nuestro mundo se está volviendo cada vez menos amable, dividido y despectivo. Si la amabilidad es tan popular, ¿por qué nuestra cultura es tan dura? Tal vez falte esta marca de amabilidad, que pretende hacer y ser buena pero es incapaz de producir cambios reales. En un mundo que está hambriento de bondad pero que a menudo sólo encuentra vacío, debemos mirar a las Escrituras y al autor de la bondad para que nos enseñe lo que es realmente la bondad. Enraizados en el amor La amabilidad cultural tiene más que ver con la tolerancia, ser agradable y soportar las diferencias sin quej...

Cultural "Kindness"

Image
by Anne Kerhoulas Kindness seems to be everywhere these days. It’s posted on yard signs and granola bars, T-shirts, and posters for your home. Though kindness is not new, “Be kind!” has become an unofficial slogan, the currency on which a culture steeped in tolerance, affirmation, and acceptance runs. But for all the talk about kindness, our world is growing increasingly unkind, divided, and contemptuous. If kindness is so popular, why is our culture so harsh? Perhaps this brand of kindness is lacking, pretending to do and be good while unable to produce any real changes. In a world that’s hungry for kindness but often finds only emptiness, we must look to Scripture and the author of kindness to teach us what kindness truly is. Rooted in Love Cultural kindness is more about tolerance, being nice, and enduring differences without complaining than it is about love. It asks us only to be pleasant to those who are different from us —it doesn’t call us to love them. When k...

The Hos 6:6

Image
series: Our Living Word 2/3 different thoughts and connections with Hosea 6:6 Unveiling a surprising blind spot ..which is important to Jesus As we saw in the first part of the "Living Word" series , our possibilities have fundamentally changed and they have become more extensive with the arrival of Jesus Christ. He knows that Hosea 6:6 holds a profound revelation, often overlooked yet crucial to us all. I'm going to show you some leading, helpful verses from this prophetic context. His mercy and grace will thus be more visible in this way. I desire steadfast love and not sacrifice, the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings. Hos 6:6 Jesus quoted these words from the prophet Hosea twice, in two different situations. What for us is often just a "prophetic vindication" of an Old Testament crisis, for the Lord is two areas of crucial importance for the church in every covenant milestone and for every believer. L...
