La escena es desconcertante y reveladora. Los ángeles del Señor se presentaron delante del Trono, y Satanás vino con ellos. El estaba allí con un propósito y Dios lo sabía. El había estado rodeando la tierra. El había visto a Job y su devoción a Yahweh y se convenció que la única razón por la que él adoraba a Dios era por lo mucho que él había sido bendecido. Así que, en Job 1: 9-11, él negoció con el Todopoderoso (perdonen mi interpretación): “¡Por supuesto que te bendice! Tú le has Continue Reading

Quitting… At the Edge of the Promise Land {Atlanta Journal Constitution Column}
It’s February. The graveyard of most new year’s resolutions. It seems harsh, but unfortunately, it’s just numbers. I did a little research and, according to a statistics website, 25 percent of people drop their new year’s resolutions by the end of the first week of January. The number goes up to 36 percent after the first month, and only 34 percent of people will remain committed to their goals past June. I am not proud to confess, but I have been on the team of those who don’t seem to be Continue Reading
5 Things You Need to Know About Spiritual Attack
The scene is puzzling and eye opening. The angels of the Lord came to present themselves before the Throne, and Satan came with them. He was there with a purpose and God knew it. He had been “roaming about on the earth.” He had seen Job and his devotion to Yahweh and became convinced that the only reason he worshiped God was because of how much he had been blessed. So, in Job 1:9-11, he bargained with the Almighty (pardon my interpretation): “Of course he blesses You! You put a hedge Continue Reading
“Você não tem que explicar o que você não diz” Coluna para o Atlanta Journal Constitution
Esse blog é a tradução de um de meus artigos para o Atlanta Journal Constitution Eu vi o quadrinho empoeirado do outro lado da garagem, apoiado em uma mesa cheia de bugigangas. Ao me aproximar, sua poderosa mensagem tocou a minha alma. A “garage sale” estava cheia de itens valiosos, objetos antigos de uma vida que passou. Eu olhei para as belas antiguidades, cristais e coleções que mostravam a sabedoria visível que a falecida senhora tinha deixado para trás. Eu não comprei mais nada de suas Continue Reading
USA’s Initial Trust In God Was Vital {Atlanta Journal Constitution Column}
“Wisdom is the principal thing, therefore get wisdom and withall thy getting, get understanding.” “The light shineth in darkness, and the darkness comprehendeth it not.” I immediately recognized the quotes engraved on the walls of the Library of Congress — one from the Old Testament, the other one referring to Christ in the New Testament. These verses are well known to me. I stood in the Reading Room, astounded by the beauty and majesty of the architecture, while my heart raced with the Continue Reading
Growing in Dark and Silent Places – #SoaringwithJesus
"I will give you the treasures of darkness And hidden wealth of secret places, So that you may know that it is I, The LORD, the God of Israel, who calls you by your name.” Isaiah 45:3 Some of my fondest memories from childhood were made in Caputera - a small, backwards fisherman’s village in South Brazil, where I spent every Summer vacation as a child. When my great-grandparents immigrated to Brazil from Spain in the 1800's, they founded the village together with other families. My grandparents Continue Reading
