Passage: Judges 7 Key Verse: "The Lord said to Gideon, “I will deliver you with the 300 men who lapped and will give the Midianites into your hands; so let all the other people go, each man to his home.” v.7 It was Friday night. I absently stared at the TV, thinking about how lonely I felt. Looking through my phone book, I knew that the options were not good. The friends who would be available on a Friday night would quickly offer me a tour back into my life before Christ... Places I knew Continue Reading

Senhor, estou desencorajado!
Passagem: João 21 Verso-Chave: “Ele disse: “Lancem a rede do lado direito do barco e vocês encontrarão”. Eles a lançaram, e não conseguiam recolher a rede, tal era a quantidade de peixes.” V.6 Eles tinham pescado a noite toda. À medida que as horas passavam, ambos foram ficando cansados e desencorajados. Eles tinham contas a pagar e bocas para alimentar. Ainda assim, nenhum único peixe havia sido capturado em suas redes. Ao amanhecer, um Estranho os chamou da praia: Continue Reading
“La Carrera No Termina Hasta Que Dios Dice Que Se Termina”
“Por lo tanto, también nosotros, que tenemos tan grande nube de testigos a nuestro alrededor, liberémonos de todo peso y del pecado que nos asedia, y corramos con paciencia la carrera que tenemos por delante. 2 Fijemos la mirada en Jesús, el autor y consumador de la fe, quien por el gozo que le esperaba sufrió la cruz y menospreció el oprobio, y se sentó a la derecha del trono de Dios.” Hebreos 12:1-2 Era el 20 de Octubre de 1968. Miles de espectadores llenaban el Estadio Olímpico de la Continue Reading
A Foreigner’s Reflection on America’s Birthday
“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden; nor does anyone light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.” Matthew 5:14-16 I stood in front of the Lincoln monument on that beautiful spring morning, awestruck by the magnificent statue of America’s sixteenth president. I had just Continue Reading
Antes De Dar O Próximo Passo.
“Entrega o teu caminho ao Senhor; confia Nele, e o mais Ele fará”. Salmos 37:5 “Eu deveria ligar para ele”. “Eu perderei a oportunidade se eu não agir agora”. “É claro, conte comigo. Deixa que eu faço!” Paciência não é algo que eu possua naturalmente. Somente com a ajuda do Espírito Santo eu sou capaz de esperar no Senhor. Sou a típica personalidade “tipo A” e então para mim é difícil ficar de expectadora, sem mover um dedo. Minha tendência é dizer "sim, conta comigo!" e me ocupar em Continue Reading
Do You Trust God With Your Children?
Passage: Genesis 22:1-15 Key Verse: “He said, “Do not stretch out your hand against the lad, and do nothing to him; for now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from Me.” V. 12 I had not seen her in three years. As I walked into Starbucks to write that morning, I saw her smiling face through the glass windows. We sat down, catching up on three years of family and work history. I was surprised to find out that her son is now a teenager. It seems Continue Reading
