================================================== ==SUSCRIBETEhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNpffyr-7_zP1x1lS89ByaQ?sub_confirmation=1================================================== == DEVOCIÓN MATUTINA PARA ADULTOS 2023“YO ESTOY CONTIGO”Narrado por: Roberto NavarroDesde: Montreal, CanadáUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist Church 14 DE JUNIO                                                                                                                                  "CONTENTARME CON LO QUE TENGO" Aprendió a contentarme con lo que tengo (Filipenses 4:11, DHH). Justin Montoya trabaja como niñera en la ciudad de Los Ángeles, Estados Unidos. Hace un tiempo ella le comentó a Alana Semuels, una periodista que escribe para The Atlantic, que había comprado "un reloj inteligente que probablemente nunca usará", un segundo Kindle porque le preocupaba que su dispositivo de lectura "muy pronto dejará de funcionar", un calentador eléctrico que no necesita, y un par de auriculares inalámbricos para oír música "mientras carga su iPhone". De acuerdo con la Agencia de Análisis Económico, solo en Estados Unidos cada año se gastan millas de millones de dólares en relojes, equipajes, teléfonos y otros aparatos electrónicos que la gente admite no necesitar. Tenía toda la razón Mark A. Cohen,¿Por qué estamos acumulando cosas que sabemos que no necesitamos? En el centro de esa búsqueda insaciable de lo que no tenemos y de lo que no necesitamos está el descontento. La inconformidad con nuestra vida nos induce a gastar en objetos que no aportan nada a nuestro bienestar y que no satisfacen la sed del alma. Si de verdad queremos evitar caer en la vorágine consumista que impera en nuestra época y que ha llevado a muchos a la bancarrota, nos convendría prestar atención al ejemplo del apóstol Pablo: "He aprendido a contentarme con lo que tengo" (Filipenses 4:11). La palabra traducida como "contentarme" en el mundo griego se usaba "para describir a la persona que a través de la disciplina se había independizado de las circunstancias externas". * La Nueva Versión Internacional la traduce con las palabras: "He aprendido a estar satisfecho". Este es un camino que implica disciplina.Pablo comprendió que su felicidad no dependía de lo externo, de lo mucho o poco que pudiera obtener. Aprendió a estar "contento" con lo que tuviese, porque el secreto de su gozo radicaba en "tener" a Cristo. Es en ese contexto que aparece la famosa declaración: "A todo puedo hacerle frente, gracias a Cristo que me fortalece" (Filipenses 4:13). Que el Señor nos ayude a no especializarnos en acumular montañas de cosas que no necesitamos, sino en contentarnos con lo que tenemos.* Alana Semuels, "We Are All Accumulating Montains of Things", The Atlantic, 21 de agosto de 2018: https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2018/08/ online-shopping-and-accumulation-of-junk/567985/.** Gerald F.

“Politicians from both parties publicly worship the solemn dignity of entrepreneurship and small businesses. But by the numbers, America has become the land of the big and the home of the consolidated,” writes The Atlantic’s Derek Thompson. In a time when Americans have lost faith in their institutions, the nation seems to now look to corporations for positive action. Can big business be a force for good or only a force for profit? Does their very size pose a threat? If corporations can be people, can they be good citizens? Links - “Is Big Business Really That Bad?” (Robert D.

In December 2007, the U.S. marked the beginning of its longest recession since World War II. Now the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, an agency born in the ashes of the nation's economic downturn, is under new leadership that promises big changes. Meanwhile, a tax plan speeding through Congress could have far-reaching effects on the economy, well beyond taxes. On paper, the U.S. economy looks robust. But for whom, and for how long? This week, Annie Lowrey and Alana Semuels join our hosts to look at what's happened in the decade since the Great Recession, and what's happening now. What lessons have we learned from the crisis?

Nikolai DiPippa, Clinton School Director of Public Programs, sat down with Alana Semuels, who is a journalist for The Atlantic and previously a national correspondent for the Los Angeles Times. In November of 2015, Semuels wrote “How To Decimate a City,” which explored the history and impact of an elevated highway through Syracuse, New York. In the article, Semuels explores the idea that the city thought that by building a giant highway in the middle of town, it could be an economic powerhouse. Instead, it got a bad bout of white flight and the worst slum problem in America.
