Paul made an amazing prophecy regarding married life. He says he married “will affliction of the flesh” (1 Cor 7:28). If the warning from the Word of God that there is conflict in marriage is a war for which we advised prepare. Unfortunately many do not.
The relationship with God is the most important human beings. It depends not only on our salvation, but the values and principles that govern our lives. Thus the most important decision we can make is to continue to be faithful to God and his teachings. There is no better preparation for life to obey the Creator of life.
The second most important decision is who to marry me. Is that marriage is not a game, although many have started as if it were. Climbing a mountain without being prepared is a risky, but nothing more dangerous than marry without the necessary preparation. But believe me, take my position of director for a few months and hear the most horrific stories about the lack of preparation.
Marry without knowing the implications of such an important decision is an act of great irresponsibility, but the vast majority do so. I know that there is no pain greater than a lifetime to be part of a dysfunctional family, no more joy to have a huge family healthy. Read the rest of this entry »
4. He Forgives All Our Sins.
“For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him; as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us” (vv. 11-12).
Consider the greatness of God’s love. Astronomers tell us that the farthest known light source from the earth is ten billion light years away. That means that light starting from that source (a quasar) would take ten billion years traveling at the speed to light to arrive at the earth. By contrast the nearest star is “only” four light years away from us. That’s four years traveling at the speed of light, which is 186,000 miles per second. Light from the sun reaches the earth in a little over eight minutes. Read the rest of this entry »
“He remembers that we are dust” (Psalm 103:14).
Have you wondered what God really thinks about you?
Our greatest barrier to knowing God better may be how much we know about how much God knows about us. We struggle with God because we feel so bad about ourselves, and if we know the truth about ourselves, think of how much more God knows us!
We can’t fool him.
Sometimes we don’t want to pray or read the Bible or think about God because when we look in the mirror, we feel like saying, “You’re a big disappointment” or “You ought to be a lot better by now.” Read the rest of this entry »
Perhaps greater than any other time in history, we live in a world that is desperately crying out for help.
It’s a world where more than 1 billion people live on less than $1 a day…a world where diseases such as AIDS are taking the lives of young and old alike at an alarming rate…a world where nearly 16,000 children die from hunger-related causes every day.
We live in a world that needs Jesus.
And because we do, we are more passionate and committed than ever to help as many people as possible. Through Hand of Hope, Joyce Meyer Ministries world missions, we want to relieve as much human suffering as we can with the time and resources available to us.
Is Missions Mentioned in the Bible?
We use the term missions quite a bit, but this word is never actually mentioned in the Bible.
Missions comes from a Medieval Latin word meaning “a task assigned; an act of sending.” And this is exactly what Jesus did before His ascension into heaven. Read the rest of this entry »
Tu vida y la de tus descendientes dependen de las decisiones que tomas. No permitas que otros escojan por ti. Las bendiciones de Dios son tuyas si te decides por ellas

Escoger tiene consecuencias
Escoger es importante, marca tu vida y la de los tuyos. Muchos escogen el mal hábito de las drogas, se meten en serios problemas porque desperdician su vida, su dinero, su potencial e incluso se arriesgan a tener hijos enfermos. Las personas que han tenido una vida sexual ilícita, se enferman de SIDA e incluso contagian a sus hijos. Read the rest of this entry »
Do not try to be as perfect, I relajaría more. It would be foolish for what I have in fact been very few take things seriously. It would be less hygienic.
Run more risks, make more trips, contemplate more sunsets, rising over mountains, rivers Nadari more.
Would go to more places where I have never gone away, eat more ice cream and less beans, would have more real problems and less imaginary.
I was one of those people who lived sensibly and prolifically every minute of his life; clear that I had moments of joy.
But if I could go back would try to have only good times.
In case you do not know, that life is made only of moments, do not miss the now.
I was one of those who never went anywhere without a thermometer, a hot-water bottle, an umbrella and a parachute. If I could go back to live, travel lighter. Read the rest of this entry »
Mike Murdock said that the concept we have about the same time, will determine whether our path through life will be productive. “The biggest difference between the poor and the powerful, the unemployed and employed, the successful and failed, the poor and the rich, is the view they have about the time.” Time is the only natural gift that comes from birth. And about that, I think that most precious gift that worn in small imbecility and what others think of us.
Our passage through the earth is very short and we do not have the chance of a second shot. If you ask the apostle Peter if it would be able to walk on water again, even knowing that it would sink, we would say:
-Yes, just to feel his strong arms again, in the midst of the sea.
In these years, I have debts several times and I have committed so many mistakes. Risked, I lost and I won. I have also spoken of more and less. I’ve had successes and failures. But if it could be twenty again, would do everything exactly the same, without omitting a single detail, just to get back to feeling the providence of God at every turn.
