The most religious and powerful people in Jesus’ time, well, we don’t even know their names. Their glory faded with them. And yet the poor, the uneducated and nameless, well, we know them, their legacy if not their names, and they have changed history. It’s not what they did, but rather what Jesus did for them. You see, when Jesus honors a person, that honor is true legacy. We want to know them, and be known by them, because Jesus honored them. A prostitute who had been healed, one day poured perfume on the head of Jesus. His own disciples, the famous twelve and others, rebuked her, ...

(Excerpt from the Introduction) I remember watching on the news the unfolding fate of a guy on death row. There was only about an hour left till execution. It was clear this guy was innocent. As I watched and listened, I jumped on my computer and wrote an email to the Governor of the State, imploring him to pick up the phone and put this one on hold. I said he didn’t want blood on his hands with such an obvious miscarriage of justice. Nothing. Six o’clock came and went. Ten minutes later the guy was dead. I get through a lot in life by looking at the clock and knowing that by this or ...

Esto es para las personas que sienten que han perdido la esperanza. O sea, todos hemos pasado por eso, pero algunos lo sentimos con más fuerza. Sé que darías tu vida por retirar cosas que has dicho. Has hecho cosas que hacen que tu corazón se hunda cada vez que piensas en ellas. Hay personas a las que has dañado, y pensar en sus tiernos ojos te rompe el corazón una y otra vez. Esto es lo que somos. Así es la vida. Así es la humanidad. Está rota hasta la médula. Jesús vino a ofrecernos una segunda oportunidad en la vida. ¿Te gustaría poder empezar de nuevo? Jesús nos ofrece la ...

¿Alguna vez has deseado poder empezar de nuevo? ¿Volver atrás en el tiempo y tomar un camino diferente? ¿Alguna vez te has preguntado cuándo y dónde perdiste tu verdadero yo? ¿Te miras al espejo y piensas: ‘Este no soy yo’? En esta vida, no podemos borrar las cosas ni retractarnos de lo que hicimos. La vida no perdona. Jesús – ‘Dios con nosotros’ – dijo que Él era la puerta a una nueva vida. Sus palabras fueron: ‘Yo soy la puerta; el que entre por esta puerta, que soy yo, será salvo’. (Juan 10:9) ¿Estás buscando esa puerta a una vida nueva? ¿Quieres empezar de ...

Jesus met with people personally in homes, in the fields, at the lake, on the streets downtown. One of the very first things Jesus did after he rose from the dead, was meet 2 people on a long walk, and spent hours walking and talking with just them. (Luke 24:13-35) Do you have a sincere faith in Jesus? Do you wish you could meet with some other people and grow in your faith? You can! In this short booklet I share some practical ideas on how you can get this going…

Do you feel the weight of being alone. Do you feel lonely? There are some surface things that could probably change, no mystery there: relationships, people, kindness, activity, maybe a pet? But that comes and goes. There is a much deeper place in your heart, your soul, where only God can access, only God can fill. And it is here – between you and God – that the chasm of loneliness can be filled for evermore. 'Deep calls to deep in the roar of your waterfalls; all your waves and breakers have swept over me.' (Psalm 42:7)

Ever wish you could start over? Go back in time and take a different road? Do you ever wonder when it was, where it was, you lost your true self? Do you look in the mirror and think, ‘This is not who I really am.’ In this life we can’t delete things, or take back things we did. Life is unforgiving. Jesus – ‘God with us’ – said he was a door to a new life. He literally said: ‘I am the door, and anyone who comes through me will be saved.’’ (John 10:9) Are you looking for that door to new life? Do you want to start over?

Jesus told us there would be false teachers. It’s important to know this so that you are not surprised when you sense deception, nor ashamed if you are ever deceived. ‘Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves.’ (Matthew 7:15) Paul warned Timothy that a time would come when people would reject sound teaching and surround themselves with many teachers (‘many’) that would tell them what they wanted to hear. (2 Timothy 4:3) We see a time when Peter and James – the brother of Jesus – were deceived by some Bible ...

A father’s acceptance. A father’s delight in you. Listen, whether your father gives you this or not, it doesn’t change your true worth, the true you. Jesus said, ‘Do not call anyone no earth ‘father’, for you have one Father, and he is in heaven.’ (Matthew 23:9) You might have some DNA from an earthly parent, but that is surface stuff. The real stuff is that you have been ‘made in the image of God’, and that he has put eternity in your heart. The deep truth about you comes from the throne room of your Creator, your Father in heaven. And your true and ‘secret’ name will...

¿Has perdido tu camino? ¿Tuviste una verdadera fe en Jesús en algún momento, pero ahora te encuentras distanciado? Jesús conoce tu camino. Conoce tu historia. Te ama y te llama de vuelta a casa. ‘Todavía estaba lejos cuando su padre lo vio y se compadeció de él; salió corriendo a su encuentro, lo abrazó y lo besó.’ (Lucas 15:20) Peter Walker y su familia viven en Carolina del Norte, Estados Unidos.

I remember when I was six years old and saying goodbye to a friend. Our family was moving country. We had everything packed and the car engine running. This buddy came running out and handed me his prized keychain as a gift. I knew it was his favorite of all time – a little Lego man on a chain. Our friendship meant more to him than his favorite thing, so he gave me the thing to make sure I knew that. Jesus had an amazing experience like this one time. It was shortly before his death, and a woman named Mary sensed this. Jesus had meant a lot to this woman; he had forgiven her sins and had ...

Esta es una guía breve, de 20 entradas, para ayudarte a fortalecer tu nueva fe en Jesús. ¡Espero que te aliente! ‘Jesús mismo se acercó y comenzó a caminar con ellos…’ (Lucas 24:15) Foto de cubierta por Jack Walker @jack.dw

Como seguidor de Jesús, como cristiano, he luchado con mi sentido de identidad. Sigo luchando. Cada persona que sigue en verdad a Jesús, lo ha visto como Señor. El resto, no lo ve. Por eso Jesús dijo a Sus discípulos: ‘Dichosos los ojos de ustedes porque ven, y sus oídos porque oyen.’ (Mateo 13:16 NVI) Empecé a seguir a Jesús a los dieciséis años, después de que Él me hubiera seguido a mí durante mucho tiempo. Llegó un momento en que no podía negarle más, no podía seguir viviendo una doble vida, y me detuve, me di la vuelta y empecé a seguirle. Enseguida me di cuenta ...

El corazón puede romperse de muchas maneras y por muchas razones. Sin embargo, en este breve folleto te escribo a ti, que has sido herido por – contra quien ha pecado, de quien se ha aprovechado – otra persona. Me dirijo a los abusados. El corazón roto al que espero hablar es al que le fue robado algo, y ahora le cuesta esperar, sentir, creer. Jesús te ama. Él está contigo. Él persigue y juzgará al que te hizo daño. No sólo pedirá cuentas a tu agresor, sino que en este mismo momento Jesús anhela derramar Su Espíritu sanador sobre ti y darte un ‘corazón nuevo y un ...

Tu experiencia de ‘hogar’ aquí en la tierra es, en el mejor de los casos, una metáfora, y en el peor, una falsa impresión. En cualquier caso –en todos los casos– ningún hogar aquí en la tierra es tu ‘verdadero hogar’. Tu verdadero hogar sólo está en el cielo. Está con Dios, tu Padre bueno y amoroso, tu Creador, y con Su pueblo. Tu verdadero hogar es eterno, cálido, seguro y lleno de Espíritu y vida. No más dolor, mancha, culpa, arrepentimiento, sufrimiento, lágrimas o muerte. Es para siempre. Jesús dijo que Él era la ‘puerta’ al cielo. Pasamos a través de Él ...

Jesús se reunía personalmente con la gente en las casas, en los campos, en el lago, en las calles de la ciudad. Una de las primeras cosas que Jesús hizo después de resucitar fue encontrarse con dos personas en una larga caminata, y pasó horas caminando y hablando sólo con ellos. ¿Tienes una fe sincera en Jesús? ¿Te gustaría reunirte con otras personas y crecer en tu fe? Puedes hacerlo. En este breve folleto comparto algunas ideas prácticas sobre cómo puedes poner esto en marcha...

God does not change like shifting shadows. We know that. He is God. That would be whimsical, undependable. But like any truly loving person, God changes his mind and his heart based on relationships. Right back with Noah and Flood, the very beginning of the Bible and of creation, look what God tells us: ‘The Lord saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become… The Lord regretted that he had made human beings, and his heart was deeply troubled.’ (Genesis 6:5-6) The Lord regretted something he did. Something that he told us earlier he thought was ‘good’. (Genesis 1:31) ...
