In the Acts of the Apostles, we see our Christian Church in its earliest, most perfect and probably most idealized form. There were no buildings, doctrines, vestments, or rituals; just the power of the Holy Spirit giving the preached Word of God the power to transform death into life, making the lost found, the captive…
We have arrived at the end of the Easter season in the church calendar. Throughout the season we heard the stories once again recounting the resurrection and ascension of Jesus, and we read about how the apostles, disciples, and followers of Jesus adjusted to the idea of Scripture fulfilled. Like the apostles, we have been…
“He came singing love, and He lived singing loveHe died…singing loveHe arose in silenceFor the love to go on, we must make it our songYou and I be the singers!” So begins a song from the New Zealand Hymnal. What was promised is removed for a time, so it can be more fully given. This…
As is often the case, what is not included in our lessons may be of utmost importance in our hearing what is going on in these lessons. For instance, in Acts, a lame man has been healed, and Peter and John have been hauled before some sort of ecclesiastical court to explain why the lame…

“¡Dame, oh Dios, un corazón limpio, crea en mí un espíritu nuevo!” Durante las últimas cuatro semanas de esta Cuaresma hemos estado preparando nuestros corazones para lograr un corazón limpio y un espíritu renovado. A veces, hemos estado a punto de lograrlo; en otras ocasiones, hemos fallado miserablemente. Hemos fallado porque no es fácil cambiar…
El Evangelio de Juan nos presenta el milagro de la multiplicación de los panes y los peces. Jesús da de comer a cinco mil hombres y por lo menos a otras tantas mujeres y a niños. En ésta como en otras bellas narraciones del Evangelio de San Juan, el propósito de fondo es ofrecer una…
Los Mandamientos de Dios son una lista de obligaciones a cumplir o acciones a evitar. Cuando los obedecemos, nos ayuda a vivir una vida civilizada. La lectura del Éxodo contiene los Diez Mandamientos. Los Diez Mandamientos son como un mapa para lograr una sociedad equilibrada. Y ¿qué mejor tiempo que el actual para reafirmar la…
Génesis 9:8-17; Salmo 25:3-9; 1 Pedro 3:18-22; Marcos 1:9-13. “Recuerda que eres polvo y en polvo te has de convertir” Con estas palabras y la imposición de ceniza en nuestras frentes la Iglesia llama cada año a sus fieles a celebrar el tiempo de Cuaresma. La Cuaresma es la estación penitencial que comienza el Miércoles de Ceniza y…
