The Suffering of the Apostle Paul The apostle Paul's ministry was marked by unrelenting hardship, yet God used these very trials as a means of shaping his character and magnifying His glory. In recounting his experiences to the Corinthians, Paul detailed the many afflictions he endured: imprisonments, countless beatings, stoning, shipwrecks, exposure to danger, hunger, thirst, sleepless nights, and the daily pressure of concern for the churches (2 Cor 11:23–28). Such a catalog of suffering would have crushed many, but Paul recognized that his hardships were not wasted. Rather than viewing his trials as setbacks, he understood them as instruments of God's providence, divinely appointed means through which his faith was refined and his ministry authenticated. His endurance in these circumstances demonstrated that his message was not driven by human strength or ambition but by the power of God working through a frail but faithful servant. These sufferings kept him humble, dependent, and keenly aware that the surpassing greatness of the gospel treasure was carried in “earthen vessels” (2 Cor 4:7). Even more, Paul interpreted his sufferings as opportunities to display Christ's strength in his own weakness. When he pleaded for relief from his “thorn in the flesh,” the Lord answered, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness” (2 Cor 12:9). Paul therefore embraced his afflictions, declaring, “Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me” (2 Cor 12:9–10). This paradoxical perspective enabled him to rejoice even in chains, as he assured the Philippians that his imprisonment had actually served to advance the gospel by emboldening others to preach Christ without fear (Phil 1:12–14). For Paul, trials were not obstacles but opportunities, occasions for God's grace to shine through human frailty and for the gospel to reach further than ease and comfort ever could. His life exemplifies the truth that spiritual maturity and that God's power is most clearly displayed when His servants, emptied of self, depend wholly on Him. The Suffering of the Saints Mentioned in Hebrews 11 The writer of Hebrews speaks of a “cloud of witnesses” who testify through their lives that faith can endure under the most severe trials (Heb 11:35–38). These men and women of old faced unimaginable hardships, including mocking, flogging, chains, imprisonment, and even violent death, yet they refused to abandon their trust in God. Some, like Jeremiah, were beaten and confined in stocks (Jer 20:2), while others, such as Daniel and his companions, were threatened with fiery furnaces and lions' dens but held firm to their convictions (Dan 3:16–18; 6:10). Tradition also recalls prophets who were sawn in two or killed with the sword, giving their lives rather than compromise their loyalty to Yahweh. What unites these witnesses is not the uniformity of their circumstances but the constancy of their faith. Though their earthly stories often ended in suffering rather than triumph, their lives bear permanent testimony to the sustaining power of God's promises. They form a great gallery of the faithful whose examples surround and encourage believers to run with endurance the race set before them (Heb 12:1). Though their faith was tested to its limits, these saints looked beyond their temporal struggles and fixed their gaze on God's eternal reward. They lived as pilgrims and strangers on the earth, confessing that they sought a better country, that is, a heavenly one, prepared by God Himself (Heb 11:13–16). Their perspective was not limited to deliverance in this life but extended to resurrection and future glory. Women, like the widow of Zarephath and the Shunammite woman, received back their dead by resurrection (1 Kgs 17:22–23; 2 Kgs 4:35–37), yet others accepted death rather than deny the hope of “a better resurrection” (Heb 11:35). This eschatological outlook sustained them through unimaginable suffering, for they knew that God's approval and eternal inheritance outweighed every earthly loss. Their faith was not naive optimism but a settled confidence in the character and promises of God, who “is a rewarder of those who seek Him” (Heb 11:6). In this way, their testimony continues to inspire believers today to endure hardship, remembering that the path of faith often winds through suffering, but it ultimately leads to the eternal presence and reward of God. When Believers Fail to Live by Faith There are examples in the Bible where mature believers struggled to maintain faith during intense trials. In Numbers, Moses became overwhelmed with his leadership and expressed despair, saying, “I alone am not able to carry all this people, because it is too burdensome for me. So if You are going to deal thus with me, please kill me at once” (Num 11:14-15a). Similarly, Elijah, after his triumph on Mount Carmel, fled from Jezebel and asked God to let him die because he felt overwhelmed and alone. Elijah said, “It is enough; now, O LORD, take my life, for I am not better than my fathers” (1 Ki 19:4). These instances highlight the very human responses of exhaustion, fear, and despair in some of God's greatest servants. They remind us that enduring trials is difficult and that even the most faithful can struggle to keep perspective in the face of overwhelming circumstances. However, these stories also show God's compassion and provision. God did not condemn Moses or Elijah for their despair; instead, He provided for their needs, reassured them, and continued to work through them. God's response to their struggles illustrates His understanding of human frailty and His willingness to sustain His people even when their faith falters. In a way, these moments of struggle also contribute to their spiritual growth, as God uses these low points to teach them, recalibrate their thinking to focus on His power and promises, and prepare them for the next steps in their journeys. Lastly, we cannot prevent the difficulties of life that come our way, but we can respond to them in faith, trusting God and His Word to guide and strengthen us. We know that “God causes all things to work together for good to those who love Him, to those who are called according to His purpose” (Rom 8:28). Whatever happens to us, we must fight the urge to complain, for if we start that, it becomes increasingly difficult to turn back. Complaining is not a problem solving device, and Scripture tells us to “Do all things without complaining or arguing” (Phil 2:14; cf., 1 Pet 4:9). As difficult as it may be, we must chose a faith response to “Rejoice always; pray without ceasing; and in everything give thanks; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus” (1 Th 5:16-18). When emotions rise, faith must rise even higher, for it is only through faith in God and His Word that growth occurs. Accept God's Trials. Paul wrote, “we exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance; and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope” (Rom 5:3-4). James said, “Consider it a great joy, my brothers, whenever you experience various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. But endurance must do its complete work, so that you may be mature and complete, lacking nothing” (Jam 1:2-4 CSB). The Lord uses the fire of trials to burn away the dross of our weak character and to refine those golden qualities consistent with His character. The growing believer learns to praise God in and for the trials, knowing He uses them to strengthen our faith and develop us into spiritually mature Christians. Trials can make us bitter or better, depending on how we respond to them. In the right conditions, time and pressure can shape a Christian much as it shapes carbon into a diamond. Wiersbe states: "The greatest judgment God could bring to a believer would be to let him alone, let him have his own way. Because God loves us, He “prunes” us and encourages us to bear more fruit for His glory. If the branches could speak, they would confess that the pruning process hurts; but they would also rejoice that they will be able to produce more and better fruit."[1] The Lord wants His child to have strength of character, steel in the soul, and not timidity. He leads the Christian into situations and hardships that resist comfort and develop spiritual muscle. He does not hesitate to place them in situations that lie beyond their natural strength, for only in being stretched to face the humanly impossible does the believer learn to trust in the Lord, gain confidence, and discover that divine power is made perfect in weakness. God uses trials, suffering, and hardships as His chosen instruments to shape, strengthen, and prepare those He intends to use. Rather than shielding His servants from pain, He hammers, molds, and bends them—never breaking them but transforming them into vessels fit for His highest purposes. For the Christian, then, suffering is not meaningless. It is God's tool of refinement, His instrument for shaping souls into vessels of honor. The fires that seem to consume us are in fact controlled flames in the hand of a wise and loving Father. The Christian who learns to see trial as part of God's gracious purpose can echo Paul's triumphant words: “We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not despairing… always carrying about in the body the dying of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body” (2 Cor 4:8–10). From a biblical perspective, God uses trials as a means to shape us into the people He wants us to be because He loves us and desires what is best for us. He wants us to mature, and life's difficulties are part of the process. We must walk by faith and choose to “count it all joy” (Jam 1:2) because we know that the testing of our faith will lead to spiritual maturity if we yield to the Lord (Jam 1:3–4). This passage encourages believers to view trials as opportunities for growth. Where there is positive volition and a faith response, trials become a means to strengthen faith, leading to perseverance. As perseverance develops, it results in spiritual maturity. Steven R.

Do you ever wake up in a cold sweat after having a nightmare about not being able to fulfill your responsibilities? There are so many details to remember as a leader - do you ever ask yourself What if I can't be there? Will everything fall apart? What if I forget something? These questions cause us stress, and unnecessary panic. Today's conversation is all about when its OKAY not to show up, not to be perfect and maybe even to forget something. You're going to be okay! Listen in and don't panic. Bible verse 2 Cor 12:9-10 "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness. Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weakness, so that Christ's power may rest on me.

====================================================SUSCRIBETEhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNpffyr-7_zP1x1lS89ByaQ?sub_confirmation=1====================================================DEVOCIÓN MATUTINA PARA ADULTOS 2025“CON JESÚS HOY”Narrado por: Exyomara AvilaDesde: Bogotá, ColombiaUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist Church ===================|| www.drministries.org ||===================20 de DiciembreCaro Silencio«Y será predicado este evangelio del reino en todo el mundo, para testimonio a todas las naciones, entonces vendrá el fin» (Mat. 24: 14).Y si estos callan, las piedras gritarán» (Luc. 19: 40, RVA-2015).En 1952 el compositor John Cage escribió una obra musical a la que dio por título 4'33". Este título insólito corresponde, simplemente, a la duración de la pieza, es decir, 4 minutos y 33 segundos. Lo especial de esta composición es que sus tres movimientos no contienen ninguna nota, aparte de la anotación «Tácet»: silencio.El estreno de 4'33" tuvo lugar el 29 de agosto del año 1952 en Wood stock (Nueva York), y constituyó un sonado escándalo. En efecto: el joven pianista David Tudor entró en escena, saludó al público, se instaló ante el piano de cola, lo abrió, esperó los 4 minutos y 33 segundos y lo volvió a cerrar, marcando así el fin de la actuación. Entretanto, nada. Silencio. Un silencio solo interrumpido por las toses nerviosas de los espectadores... hasta que se dieron cuenta de que no había nada más que esperar y abandonaron la sala protestando, frustrados y enfurecidos.Lo más chocante es que, gracias a esa «creación», John Cage se hizo mundialmente famoso, fue solicitado para interpretarla en numerosas ocasiones y hasta para grabarla en discos y CD ¡con diferentes instrumentos!!¿Locura? ¿Extravagancia? ¿Genialidad? ¿Burla? Ha habido reacciones para todos los gustos. No es mi intención aquí ni juzgar al artista ni a sus fans, ni discutir sobre las numerosas virtudes del silencio. Mis reflexiones van en otra dirección: hay silencios que pueden ser bienhechores, muy valiosos y hasta caros, pero hay otros muy poco recomendables, porque no aportan nada bueno.Jesús instó a sus discípulos a compartir el mensaje que él había proclamado a costa de su propia vida: el evangelio no debe ser callado bajo ningún pretexto. Tiene que ser proclamado a todo mundo para que llegue a toda la humanidad y cumpla su misión, antes de que sea demasiado tarde.El apóstol Pablo siente tan a pecho esa responsabilidad, que exclama: «¡Ay de mí, si no anuncio el evangelio!» (1 Cor. 9: 16). Y exhorta al joven Timoteo en estos términos: «Te suplico encarecidamente [...] que prediques la palabra y que instes a tiempo y fuera de tiempo. Redarguye, reprende, exhorta con toda paciencia y doctrina [...]. Cumple tu ministerio» (2 Tim. 4: 1-5).Cuando la historia parece avanzar a ciegas por derroteros inciertos, no es tiempo de silenciar que Jesús ha prometido volver. Sería un silencio demasiado caro. El mundo necesita más que nunca un mensaje de cordura, de solidaridad y de esperanza.Inspírame, Señor, para que sepa romper el silencio cuando convenga.

La question peut sembler légère, mais elle est en réalité très sérieuse économiquement : la beauté « made in China » est-elle en train de détrôner la célèbre K-beauty coréenne ? Depuis une quinzaine d'années, la Corée du Sud s'est imposée comme une puissance mondiale des cosmétiques, portée par l'innovation, le soft power culturel et des marques devenues incontournables. Mais depuis peu, un nouvel acteur accélère très vite : la Chine.La K-beauty a longtemps dominé le segment des cosmétiques innovants et accessibles. En 2023, l'industrie cosmétique sud-coréenne représentait environ 14 milliards de dollars d'exportations, contre moins de 2 milliards au début des années 2010. Des marques comme Innisfree, Laneige ou COSRX ont popularisé les routines en dix étapes, les masques en tissu et les soins ultra-techniques, tout en profitant de la vague K-pop et des dramas coréens. La Corée du Sud exporte aujourd'hui ses produits vers plus de 150 pays.Mais la Chine rattrape son retard à une vitesse impressionnante. Le marché chinois de la beauté est devenu le deuxième plus grand au monde, derrière les États-Unis, avec un chiffre d'affaires estimé à plus de 80 milliards de dollars en 2024. Surtout, les marques locales chinoises connaissent une croissance à deux chiffres, là où les marques étrangères stagnent. Selon plusieurs cabinets d'études, les marques chinoises représentaient moins de 30 % du marché en 2015 ; elles dépassent désormais 50 % des ventes de cosmétiques en Chine.La force de la beauté chinoise repose sur trois leviers économiques. D'abord, le prix : des produits souvent 20 à 40 % moins chers que leurs équivalents coréens ou occidentaux. Ensuite, la vitesse d'innovation : certaines marques chinoises lancent de nouveaux produits en quelques semaines, en s'appuyant sur les données issues du e-commerce et des réseaux sociaux. Enfin, la maîtrise du marketing digital : sur Douyin, Xiaohongshu ou Tmall, les marques chinoises exploitent à grande échelle le live-shopping et les influenceurs locaux.Autre élément clé : la Chine n'est plus seulement un marché intérieur. Les exportations de cosmétiques chinois ont progressé de plus de 20 % par an depuis 2020, notamment vers l'Asie du Sud-Est, le Moyen-Orient et l'Afrique. Là où la K-beauty s'est mondialisée par la culture, la C-beauty s'impose par la puissance industrielle et logistique.Faut-il pour autant enterrer la K-beauty ? Pas encore. La Corée conserve une image premium en matière de formulation et de dermatologie. Mais une chose est sûre : la beauté made in China n'est plus un outsider. Elle est devenue un concurrent crédible, capable de redessiner l'équilibre économique mondial du secteur cosmétique. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

D. Juan Cerrato Ponce —sacerdote de la Diócesis de Getafe (Madrid)— propone algunos consejos que nos ayuden a recogernos antes de la celebración de la Santa Misa y nos preparen al momento de la comunión. Al recibir el Cuerpo de Cristo respondemos «Amén», que significa: «Así lo creo». Atentos, porque «quien come el Cuerpo de Cristo indignamente, come su propia condenación», dice San Pablo (1 Cor 11, 27).
In today's homily, Fr. Tyler Mentzer, MIC, reflects on the genealogy that opens the Gospel of Matthew — a passage we often rush past, yet one filled with profound hope. “The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham” (Mt 1:1; NABRE) is not merely a list of names. It is the story of salvation unfolding through real people, real families, and real brokenness.This lineage includes saints and sinners, faithful patriarchs and corrupt kings, Jews and Gentiles, holiness and grave sin. Scripture does not hide the dysfunction. David's adultery, idolatrous rulers, exile, foreign bloodlines — all are present. And yet, this is precisely where Christ chooses to enter. God does not wait for a perfect family tree. He enters human history as it is and redeems it from the inside out.Father Tyler reminds us that Matthew deliberately frames this genealogy as a new beginning — a new Genesis. Just as creation began “in the beginning,” so now a new creation begins with Christ. Jesus stands at the center of history, time, and salvation. As Scripture teaches, “... whoever is in Christ is a new creation” (2 Cor 5:17; NABRE).This message is especially powerful as Christmas approaches. Many families carry wounds, strained relationships, and painful legacies. Yet the Gospel assures us that when Jesus is invited into a family, into a heart, into a life, everything begins to change.Sin does not have the final word. Grace does.As we prepare for Christmas, Fr. Tyler challenges us to ask honestly: Where is Christ still waiting to be invited in? When we say yes to Him, the Lord who “will save his people from their sins” (Mt 1:21; NABRE) begins a work of restoration that reaches backward, forward, and into eternity. ★ Support this podcast ★

C'est une première, en Corée du Sud : le gouvernement a récemment reconnu, début octobre 2025, sa responsabilité dans l'adoption abusive de dizaines de milliers d'enfants envoyés à l'étranger. Au moins 140 000 enfants sud-coréens ont été adoptés entre 1955 et 1999, parfois en violation des droits humains, selon les conclusions d'une commission mise en place en Corée du Sud, justement pour révéler l'ampleur de ces pratiques frauduleuses : des falsifications d'identité, par exemple, ou des manquements dans les procédures légales de consentement des parents biologiques. Des pratiques identiques dans d'autres Etats et qui pointent, aussi, la responsabilité des pays occidentaux ayant accueilli ces enfants. Comment expliquer ces dérives ? Pourquoi n'en prend-on connaissance que maintenant ? Faut-il aller jusqu'à interdire les adoptions internationales ? Avec nos invités : - Christine Tournadre, co-autrice et co-réalisatrice du documentaire «Adoption Internationale, un Scandale Planétaire». - Fabio Macedo, chercheur, historien à l'Université d'Angers, co-auteur avec Yves Denéchère de l'«Étude historique sur les pratiques illicites dans l'adoption internationale en France».

“We do not celebrate Christmas that way.” “We do not read those kinds of books.” “We ‘do not handle, do not taste, do not touch.'” We know our world is full of rebellion against God's law. But many people overreact to moral license with a strict imposing of out-of-context or made-up laws. Faithful saints call this legalism, and Christian fantasy fans know plenty about this. When that influencer or relative rebukes your fantastical interest, how you can respond with grace and truth?

Stephen Burnett Even If We Like Fantasy and Sci-Fi, We Can Still Practice Accidental Legalism, Marian A. Jacobs 50. Do Christians Really Need Fiction? | Fiction's Chief End, part 1, Fantastical Truth podcast 1. Legalism denies the word of God itself. We've heard and experienced many stories of judgy legalists. Some are worse than others. Some comments are snide asides. I heard one author's work dismissed as “not in the real world.” And yes, I've had people challenge Lewis, Tolkien, other stories. Others rail more on social media against metal music or pageants. But don't confuse these false teachers with people they deceive. Your family members may be confused and repeating memes. In either case, work to overcome defensiveness or bad feelings. Your firm foundation: legalism is anti-gospel; the Bible rejects it. So study the word of God. Don't let legalists ruin that for you! Get into the gospel with the epistles, Romans, and other epistles. Focus on texts like Romans 14, 1 Cor. 8-10, and all of Galatians. 2. Legalism denies the good of God's gifts. Moving to legalistic teachers, they often escape to fantasy worlds. They like alternative realities where people don't like/need stories. You can (kindly) hit ’em with that little rejoinder, see how it works. In either case, be sure you study up on God's creative purpose. Start in Genesis and take this text seriously: it's history in poetry! Pay special heed to the “cultural mandate” in Gen. 1:27-28. Any ignorance of this call also overthrow God's call to family. So no one gets to do preaching or “ministry” minimization here! From this text, learned theologians discern that God is and loves three virtues in no particular order: beauty, goodness, and truth. God also loves to give good gifts to evil men and His children. We get this truth directly from texts like Matt. 7:11 and James 1:17. Sin ruin gifts? Not for studying, praying believers (1 Tim. 4:1-5). 3. And legalism denies God's real world. It is not Christianity, but gnosticism, to despise God's creation. Get your eschatology right, after all the charts and controversies. It's simply flawed to suggest we're bound for a bodiless world. Scripture constantly hints, then promises, a renewed planet Earth. Heaven will come down here, rather than replacing all of our world. Let's get the end of Revelation right about New Heavens and New Earth, Christ's eternal and holy kingdom that restores paradise! For Stephen, this doctrine was key to debunking fiction legalism. It helps me avoid the responses of depression or deconstruction. On good days I feel sympathy and love for sincere fiction legalists. With this solid foundation we can “swashbuckle” them with smiles. We can affirm the need for truth and holiness, but show how it is in fact made-up laws, not God's actual word, that forbid good gifts. And we can show how these stories help us grow to be like Jesus. Com station Top question for listeners When did you confront a fiction legalist? How did you respond? tallgrant liked ep. 290 on YouTube: Happy to see this covered, and even happier to get the other half in the Abolition of Man at least touched on! The position Lewis takes about a very small ruling class who make decisions about all of morality for everyone who comes after very much aligns with the ultimate revealed mission of the N.I.C.E. Not to mention the issues being raised about where a potential soul can come from. I find his look at the outworking and consequences of post-modern thought and reasoning really intriguing, considering that this was all put to paper before the conclusion of the second world war and the mass dissemination of those ideas outside the academic world. Next on Fantastical Truth “In one cataclysmic moment, millions around the world disappear.” Jesus returned thirty years ago. Or rather, He sort of pre-returned, the warm-up act, if you will. Many faithful Christians believe in this kind of “rapture.” And in December 1995, two authors teamed up and used this idea to create the most successful biblical end-times thriller we've yet seen. Last summer, we looked back on the Left Behind series legacy. Yet now we'll ask how that first Left Behind novel has aged, thirty years after its release.
A public library in Caleb and Stephen's area has been providing pornographic content to children. What is happening, why, and what should be done about it?Caleb and Stephen's Letter to the Sioux Center Public Library:To the Sioux Center Public Library, together with its director, board, staff, and all else who pertains:May the Lord convict you to read this letter in its entirety. Do not shrink from its words. Be discomforted, but receive the admonishment in humility. Remove Icebreaker, Identical, and every other wicked, ungodly, and perverse “literature” which you make available for public distribution. To be clear: not only should children be protected from depraved content, but also adults.Repent and do what is right — not from fear of man, not out of a duty to the community, but in the sight of God — that you may be forgiven. “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us” (1 Jn. 18-10). As will be explained further below, this is no matter of simply saying something to the effect of, “We don't personally like the book, but it's hard to decide what should or shouldn't be stocked,” or to “let the parents decide.”First, a brief note on the First Amendment and libraries. We would like to draw your attention to this week's conclusion of Little v. Llano County, in which the Supreme Court declined to hear an appeal against the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals to uphold the county's removal of 17 books from their public libraries. Specifically, they had ruled that there is no inherent right protected under the First Amendment for someone to receive information via taxpayer-funded books from a public library. This decision now applies to the states of Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi. If this is the case elsewhere, can—even, ought it not be applied here? Your board has been quoted as stating its “commitment” to “protect access to information.” Should the reception of any and all information or content be protected? There is no true necessity in providing erotica to anyone. Indeed, as your director has said, “Our mission is to inspire lifelong learning, advance knowledge and strengthen our community.” How does pornographic, erotic literature inspire learning and advance knowledge? And — given the backlash you have thus far received — how does this strengthen the community?Second, your opinions on the first amendment, the Iowa constitution, and ALA policies aside: We call upon you to realize you are accountable to a Higher Authority (Acts 5:29; Westminster Larger Catechism QA 99, 128-130; Heidelberg Catechism, QA 104; Belgic Confession 36). You are under a law greater than your own policies. This law, God's law, applies to all peoples, unbelievers and believers alike. All mankind will be judged under the same law. If there are any on the board who do not profess Christ, you must hear the gospel and turn from your sins so that you may be saved. If you would hear this message of salvation while there is yet time, please contact us at pastor.rvurc@gmail.com.However, being aware of the demographics of our county, it is far more likely that this board and the library staff are full of churchgoers. If so, what grief you bring upon Christ's name! “Who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth?” (Gal. 3:1)What does the Word of God say of your actions?By providing in your catalog any material with perverse content, you promote peoples' minds to dwell upon that which is prohibited by the holy law. You train peoples' hearts to store up that which defiles the temple of our body (1 Cor. 6:18-20).“Fornication and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as is fitting for saints, neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not fitting…For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God (Eph. 5:3-5).” Sexual immorality is not limited to only an outward action, but also when the mind itself is lured to entertain temptation. As Jesus says in Matthew 5:27-28, “You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not commit adultery.' But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.”We are instead positively commanded to give our minds to holy, good things: “whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things” (Phil. 4:8).Perhaps you object. Perhaps you think, “I'm not responsible for what others do. If they want to read these things, that's for them to decide.” You may as well like Cain (Gen. 4:9) ask the Lord, “Am I my brother's keeper?” Yes, you are. “Do not be deceived,” says Paul, for “Evil company corrupts good morals” (1 Cor. 15:33), and “A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump” (Gal. 5:9).Concerning sexual immorality and the 7th commandment, Q. 109 of the Heidelberg Catechism asks, Does God, in this commandment, forbid only such scandalous sins as adultery? Note its answer well: “We are temples of the Holy Spirit, body and soul, and Godwants both to be kept clean and holy. That is why God forbids all unchaste actions, looks, talk, thoughts, or desires, and whatever may incite someone to them” (see also WLC QA 139). It is clear: you shall certainly be held responsible for your part in distributing that which may lead someone to sin, whether they be adult or child; regardless of the government's position on its permissibility. However, know that your guilt is magnified for involving a child. Indeed, by permitting a child to check out such filth, you pose a stumbling block before them that they trip into sin. To you Jesus says, “It is inevitable that stumbling blocks come, but woe to one through whom they come! It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were cast into the sea than that he should cause one of these little ones to sin” (Luke 17:1-2; WLC QA 151).We pray you will heed these warnings with all sobriety, especially if you profess Christ, for “You should no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind” (Eph. 4:17). “Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God” (James 4:4).Consider this rebuke as a mercy from the Lord, shining light to expose devilish works. And now being exposed, understand that “to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin” (James 4:17), “for if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, but a fearful expectation of judgment” (Heb. 10:26-27). Can the stakes be any more clear than that? What ought you do?Well, if you would truly be called public servants:* Serve the parents by informing them if a child is seeking adult content (Prov. 17:25; 29:15)* Serve the child by declining to check out any material that would be destructive to their soul, even if it would cost you your job. (Lev. 19:7; Prov. 27:5; James 5:19-20)* Serve the community by refusing to stock wicked books in the first place (Ps. 101:3); by not squandering tax dollars on smut (Prov. 21:20; Lk. 16:10-13). * Discard from your shelves all depraved materials, pornographic writings, even any work which might “shake the hand against God, in defiance against the Almighty” (Job 15:25; Ezek. 20:7; Acts 19:19). * Refuse to contribute to the deformation and denigration of godliness in this area and in this land (Deut. 28:47-48; Dan. 12:10; Matt. 24:12; 1 Tim. 4:1-2; Jude 18-19).And finally, “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up” (James 4:7-10).May God have mercy.Rev.

====================================================SUSCRIBETEhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNpffyr-7_zP1x1lS89ByaQ?sub_confirmation=1==================================================== LECCIÓN DE ESCUELA SABÁTICA IV TRIMESTRE DEL 2025Narrado por: Eddie RodriguezDesde: Guatemala, GuatemalaUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist ChurchMIÉRCOLES 17 DE DICIEMBRELA IRA DEL SEÑOR ¿Cómo debemos interpretar las descripciones de la ira de Dios y su justicia retributiva en Josué (Jos. 23:15, 16) y en otras partes de las Escrituras? (Ver también Núm. 11:33; 2 Crón. 36:16; Apoc. 14:10, 19; 15:1). Israel ya había experimentado la ira del Señor durante su travesía por el desierto (Núm. 11:33; 12:9) y en la Tierra Prometida (Jos. 7:1), y era plenamente consciente de las consecuencias de provocar la ira de Dios al quebrantar el pacto. Estos versículos representan el clímax de la severidad de la retórica de Josué. Resulta chocante oír que el Señor destruiría a Israel, ya que el mismo término se había utilizado anteriormente para referirse a la aniquilación de los cananeos. Tan cierto como que las promesas del Señor se habían cumplido fielmente en cuanto a la bendición de Israel, las maldiciones del pacto (Lev. 26; Deut. 28) también se harían realidad si los israelitas lo quebrantaban. A la luz del despojo y la destrucción de los cananeos, estos versículos demuestran una vez más que Dios es, en última instancia, el Juez de toda la tierra. Él declara la guerra al pecado independientemente de dónde se encuentre este. Israel no fue santificado ni adquirió méritos especiales por participar en la guerra santa, como tampoco los adquirieron las naciones paganas cuando más tarde se convirtieron en el medio del juicio utilizado por Dios contra la nación elegida. Israel debía decidir si haría de las gloriosas certezas del pasado el fundamento para afrontar el futuro. A primera vista, la enseñanza bíblica acerca de la ira de Dios parece incompatible con la afirmación de que él es amor (Juan 3:16; 1 Juan 4:8). Sin embargo, es precisamente a la luz de la ira de Dios como la doctrina bíblica de su amor adquiere mayor relevancia. En primer lugar, la Biblia presenta a Dios como amoroso, paciente, abnegado y dispuesto a perdonar (Éxo. 34:6; Miq. 7:18). Sin embargo, en el contexto de un mundo afectado por el pecado, la ira del Señor es la respuesta de su santidad y justicia ante el pecado y el mal. Su ira nunca es una reacción emocional vengativa e impredecible. El Nuevo Testamento enseña que Cristo se hizo pecado por nosotros (2 Cor. 5:21) y que hemos sido reconciliados con Dios mediante su muerte (Rom. 5:10). Quien crea en él no tendrá que hacer frente a la ira de Dios (Juan 3:36; Efe. 2:3; 1 Tes. 1:10). El concepto de la ira de Dios lo presenta como el Juez Justo del universo que defiende la causa de la justicia (Sal. 7:11; 50:6; 2 Tim. 4:8).

Garth Heckman The David Alliance TDAgiantSlayer@Gmail.com Catch this first: …The natural mind is speaking into the Supernatural… this never turns out good. *Rather the natural mind needs to be in line with the supernatural. The Mahotmetan writers suggest that Elizabeth was 89 years old… what does that say in the natural? 1 Cor. 2:13And this is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom, but in words taught by the Spirit, expressing spiritual truths in spiritual words. 14 The natural man does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God. For they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned. 15The spiritual man judges all things, but he himself is not subject to anyone's judgment.… What did Zechariah not believe? They would have a baby? It would be a great man of God? He would be filled with the Holy Spirit? In Elizabeths womb?… He had prayed… maybe it was believable to have a son (or not) Maybe he just doubted the greatness of his son's calling? **Don't miss the point - they prayed for a son… God is so good, he gives us more than we pray for? Not just a son - but a son of history! Eph. 3:20,21 20 Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, 21 to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen. We pray, we ask, we think…. And he still goes above what we even ask for! He was struck mute… in the greek the word means deaf and mute. **As a punishment? NOPE - as confirmation that this is real. And to protect him from speaking against God.

====================================================SUSCRIBETEhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNpffyr-7_zP1x1lS89ByaQ?sub_confirmation=1==================================================== LECCIÓN DE ESCUELA SABÁTICA IV TRIMESTRE DEL 2025Narrado por: Eddie RodriguezDesde: Guatemala, GuatemalaUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist ChurchMARTES 16 DE DICIEMBRELÍMITES DEFINIDOS Utilizando las mismas palabras que se le dirigieron al principio del libro (Jos. 1:7, 8), Josué afirmó que la tarea que aguardaba a Israel no era principalmente de naturaleza militar, sino espiritual. Tenía que ver con la obediencia a la voluntad de Dios revelada en la Torá. ¿Por qué adoptó Josué una postura tan firme acerca de las relaciones de Israel con las naciones circundantes? (Jos. 23:6-8, 12, 13). El peligro al que Israel se enfrentaba no era la enemistad de las naciones restantes, sino su amistad. Las armas de ellas no representaban tal vez un desafío para Israel, pero su ideología y sus valores (o su falta de ellos) podrían resultar más dañinos que cualquier fuerza militar. Josué llamó la atención de los líderes al hecho crucial de que el conflicto en el que se habían visto envueltos era primordialmente, y en última instancia, espiritual. Por lo tanto, Israel debía preservar su singular identidad.La prohibición de invocar el nombre de un dios, jurar por él y servirlo o inclinarse ante él tenía que ver con la idolatría. En el antiguo Cercano Oriente, el nombre de una deidad representaba su presencia y su poder. Invocar o mencionar los nombres de los dioses en los saludos cotidianos o en las transacciones comerciales significaba reconocer su autoridad y contribuía a que los israelitas buscaran su poder en tiempos de necesidad (comparar con Jue. 2:1-3, 11-13). El peligro de casarse con los cananeos que quedaban en la tierra consistía en que Israel perdiera su pureza espiritual. La intención de la amonestación de Josué no era promover la pureza racial o étnica, sino evitar la idolatría, que podía conducir al colapso espiritual de Israel. El caso de Salomón es un ejemplo dramático de las tristes consecuencias espirituales de los matrimonios mixtos (1 Rey. 3:1; 11:1-8). En el Nuevo Testamento, se exhorta firmemente a los cristianos a no unirse en matrimonio con no creyentes (2 Cor. 6:14), aunque, en el caso de los matrimonios existentes, Pablo no aconseja al cónyuge creyente que se divorcie del incrédulo, sino que lleve una vida cristiana ejemplar con la esperanza de ganar al no creyente para el Señor (1 Cor. 7:12-16). La advertencia de Josué contra las asociaciones perjudiciales conduce inevitablemente a la cuestión de la relación del cristiano con el “mundo”. ¿Cómo podemos mantener una relación equilibrada con la sociedad que nos rodea?

(Philippians 3:10) • We do come together and study our Bibles to understand that we have been crucified with Christ; nevertheless we live; yet not us, but Christ liveth in us: and the life which we now live in the flesh, we live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved us and gave himself for us. (Galatians 2:20) • We do come together and study our Bibles to understand that because Jesus Christ shed His blood for us and we should not live for ourselves but for Him, who died for us and rose again.

We understand that knowledge for the sake of knowledge is purely vain and serves no Godly purpose. • We do come together and study our Bibles for the intent of knowing our Lord Jesus Christ and the power of His resurrection. (Philippians 3:10) • We do come together and study our Bibles to understand that we have been crucified with Christ; nevertheless we live; yet not us, but Christ liveth in us: and the life which we now live in the flesh, we live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved us and gave himself for us. (Galatians 2:20) • We do come together and study our Bibles to understand that because Jesus Christ shed His blood for us and we should not live for ourselves but for Him, who died for us and rose again. (2 Cor. 5:15) • We do not claim to have attained to these lofty goals, but we press toward the mark of the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

Paragraph 1 The bodies of men after death return to dust, and see corruption;1 but their souls, which neither die nor sleep, having an immortal subsistence, immediately return to God who gave them.2 The souls of the righteous being then made perfect in holiness, are received into paradise, where they are with Christ, and behold the face of God in light and glory, waiting for the full redemption of their bodies;3 and the souls of the wicked are cast into hell; where they remain in torment and utter darkness, reserved to the judgment of the great day;4 besides these two places, for souls separated from their bodies, the Scripture acknowledgeth none. 1 Gen. 3:19; Acts 13:36 2 Eccles. 12:7 3 Luke 23:43; 2 Cor. 5:1,6,8; Phil. 1:23; Heb. 12:23 4 Jude 6, 7; 1 Peter 3:19; Luke 16:23,24

Estos versículos constituyen el clímax del libro y su resumen teológico, además de destacar uno de sus temas principales: la fidelidad al pacto de Dios, quien cumple sus promesas y sus juramentos. Esta breve sección también resume todo el contenido del libro hasta el momento. Josué 21:43 habla del reparto de la tierra y el establecimiento en ella (Jos. 13-21), mientras que Josué 21:44 se refiere a las victorias sobre los enemigos y al control obtenido sobre la tierra (Jos. 1-12). Toda esta retrospectiva es contemplada a través del prisma de la fidelidad de Dios. Los israelitas debían recordar siempre que solo podrían reclamar las victorias sobre sus enemigos o la tierra como su herencia en virtud de la lealtad de Dios a su Palabra. Él les dio “toda la tierra” (Jos. 21:43, énfasis añadido), entregó “en sus manos a todos sus enemigos” (Jos. 21:44, énfasis añadido) y, “como había jurado a sus padres” (Jos. 21:44), “todo se cumplió” (Jos. 21:45, énfasis añadido). El uso repetido de la palabra kol, “todo”, seis veces en tres versículos (Jos. 21:43-45), enfatiza una vez más la verdad de que la tierra era el don de Dios y de que Israel no podía atribuirse el mérito de haberla recibido. Dios juró darles la tierra y fue él quien “entregó en sus manos a todos sus enemigos”. Todo el éxito de Israel había de atribuirse únicamente a la iniciativa divina y a la fidelidad de Dios. Lo mismo ocurre con nuestra salvación: “Porque por gracia han sido salvados por la fe. Y esto no proviene de ustedes, sino que es el don de Dios. No por obras, para que nadie se gloríe” (Efe. 2:8, 9). De hecho, Pablo también escribió lo siguiente haciendo hincapié en la fidelidad de Dios: “Es palabra fiel: Si morimos con él, también viviremos con él.Si sufrimos, también reinaremos con él. Si lo negamos, él también nos negará. Si somos infieles, él permanece fiel; no puede negarse a sí mismo” (2 Tim. 2:11-13). ¿De qué manera la fidelidad de Dios nos da la seguridad de que ninguna de sus promesas acerca del futuro fallará? (Ver 1 Cor. 10:13; 2 Cor. 1:18-20).

Marriage is God's gift for joy and sanctification — but three subtle poisons can kill it: Pennies, Perversion, and Pride.Pennies – Loving money breeds fear, comparison, and discontent. Antidote: Seek first God's kingdom (Matt 6:25–34).Perversion – Porn, withholding, or distortion twist God's good gift of sex. Antidote: Pursue regular, healing intimacy as worship (1 Cor 7:5).Pride – “I know better” fuels unforgiveness and division. Antidote: Look to the humble Servant-King and forgive as Christ forgave us (Matt 20:28, Eph 4:32).Spot the poison, repent fast, and watch God restore joy to your covenant. Short, scriptural, and straight to the heart — hit play with your spouse.RESOURCES:Master marital communication: https://speak.fiercemarriage.comTake the 31-Day Pursuit Challenge: https://31daypursuit.comPray for your spouse with intention: https://40prayers.comTo learn more about becoming a Christian, visit: https://thenewsisgood.comThis ministry is entirely listener-supported.
