Redes Sociales: "Disculpa, ¿decías algo?"


Estamos ya en la era de las redes sociales. Muchos dan gracias por ellas, hay otros que se quejan de ellas y hay otros que no saben cuándo dejar de usarlas. ¿A qué grupo perteneces?

No estoy de acuerdo con aquellos que se quejan de ellas diciendo: "¡Hay gente que hasta su comida la postea! ¿No tienen cosas más importantes qué postear?" Creo que estas personas no entienden la idea de lo que es una red social. Si vas a una reunión de amigos, ¿acaso es necesario que sólo se hable de cosas muy imp...

Rest from yourself

When you live in the Law, you are heavy laden, stressful and worried, and this happens because in the Law you depend on your own strength and merits for your success. But when you live in the Grace of Jesus, you live rested all the time because you don't depend on what you can get by your own, but you trust that what Jesus won is yours too. Grace is better!

Jacob was trusting on his own strength to fix his life, to escape from his past and from the consequences of his actions. In spite of bein...

Gadol's Nugget: His children's free will


One of the characteristics of Gadol, the main character of my book, was his over concern about his children. He was convinced that they'd want to serve God thanks to the perfect testimony he thought he had before them (actually, before everybody!), that's why it was a surprise for him that they, being adults already, told them that they didn't want to serve God.

Being concerned about what would be of them away from God, he decided to take responsibility of their spiritual lives. They, in order...

Gadol's Nugget: El libre albedrío de sus hijos


Una de las características de Gadol, el personaje principal de mi libro, era una sobre preocupación por sus hijos. Él estaba convencido que ellos iban a querer servir a Dios gracias al perfecto testimonio que pensó tener frente a ellos (en verdad, ¡frente a todos!), por eso le agarró por sorpresa que ellos, ya mayores, le dijeran que no querían servir a Dios.

Preocupado por lo que sería de ellos lejos de Dios, decidió hacerse responsable de sus vidas espirituales. Ellos, con el fin de no crear...

There is more for you


Many of us think that the end of a good period of our life is our end. A divorce, a love one's death, getting unfairly fire of a job, the end of a friendship, etc., are examples of periods of time that we enjoyed, that have blessed us, that have formed beautiful memories, but they are no more and, when we pass through experiences like that, we fall apart.

Moses represented for Israel that good period of time. The time the Jews lived with him were glorious, because it was him the one used by Go...

Hay más para ti


Muchos de nosotros pensamos que el fin de una buena etapa de nuestra vida es nuestro fin. Un divorcio, la muerte de un ser querido, el despido injusto de un trabajo, el fin de una amistad, etc., son ejemplos del fin de etapas que hemos disfrutado, que nos han bendecido, que han formado lindas memorias, pero que ya no están más y, cuando pasamos por aquello, nos derrumbamos.
Moisés representaba para Israel esa buena etapa. Eran gloriosos los años que los judíos vivieron con él, porque fue él qu...

When my boys went through a hard time at school

When my Juan Esteban started the first grade, there were a few boys that bothered him. It's hard when your son tells you that he doesn't want to go to school anymore, and then you find out that other kids were bothering him because he was skinny. The same happened to my Juan Pablo, but in his case kids bothered him because he was a little chubby. Other than talking to his parents and teachers, what else to do?

My wife and I prayed for our Heavenly Father's guidance so we may know what to do, a...

Divine Healing V - If God wants to heal me, why then I'm not healed?

Many people believe that God wants to heal, but they stumble with the question: Why am I not healed if God wants to heal me? I think that the question gets difficult to them because of:
- Assuming that if God wants something, then it definitely has to happen.
- Assuming that if God wants something, then He has to do it.

If God wants something, is it going to happen in any case?
Unfortunately, the answer is No. How good it'd be that always the will of our Father be done!, but it's not so. I k...

Sanidad Divina V - Si Dios quiere sanarme, ¿por qué no soy sano?

Muchos creen que Dios quiere sanar, pero se encierran en la pregunta: ¿Por qué no soy sano si Dios me quiere sanar? Pienso que la pregunta se les dificulta por:
- Asumir que si Dios quiere algo, entonces debe suceder sí o sí.
- Asumir que si Dios quiere algo, entonces Él tiene que hacerlo.

Si Dios quiere algo, ¿debe suceder de todas maneras?
Lamentablemente la respuesta es No. ¡Qué bueno sería que siempre la voluntad de nuestro Padre Celestial ocurriera, pero no es así. Yo sé que has escucha...

Peruano, ¡aprovecha este empujón!

Todos necesitamos a veces un "empujoncito". A veces no hacemos las cosas que debemos hacer porque nos sentimos desmotivados, porque creemos que no podremos o simplemente no tenemos ganas de hacerlo. El estar animados es crucial para poder cambiar lo que sea que queremos cambiar .

Hermano peruano, ¡APROVECHA ESTE MOMENTO! Que la emoción que estos guerreros nos han dado desde la cancha, que no se quede solo en emoción, sino materialízala en la fuerza de voluntad para cambiar algo que, como peruan...
