El fundamento de la sabiduría [Eclesiastés 7:15–18]

  El fundamento de la sabiduría         [Eclesiastés 7:15–18]       Durante la reunión de oración de esta mañana, medité sobre los temas de una familia bendecida, una iglesia bendecida y una nación bendecida, centrándome en 2 Crónicas 9:7: «¡Bienaventurados tus hombres! ¡Bienaventurados estos siervos tuyos, que están continuamente delante de ti y oyen tu sabiduría!». Al reflexionar sobre este versículo, contemplé la tremenda bendición que supone encontrar a un líder sabio. Esto se debe a que la nación de Israel fue bendecida precisamente porque su rey, Salomón, era sabio. Al defender la justicia y la rectitud, el sabio rey Salomón fortaleció a la nación (versículo 8); así, tal como observó la reina de Sabá, el pueblo de Israel era, en efecto, un pueblo bendecido. Para que nuestras familias sean bendecidas, el cabeza de familia —el esposo o el padre— debe ser sabio. Para que nuestras empresas sean bendecidas, el presidente debe se...

“Now strengthen my hands” (Nehemiah 6:1-9)

“Now strengthen my hands”       [Nehemiah 6:1-9]     If we look at the book “Burnout in Church Leaders” (by Peter Kaldor & Rod Bullpit), we will find survey data of 20 denominations, 7,200 church pastors, and 430,000 believers.   Pastors who are more at risk of burnout say six things, two of which have gotten some attention:   (1)     It is said that the degree of stress and exhaustion was higher in younger group.   The fact that the younger you are, the greater your risk of burnout reflects several facts: The fact that youth ministry is not easy, that leaders have too high expectations of themselves or others have too high of them, that they are inexperienced in dealing with tensions.   (2)     It is said that the level of burnout was higher in leaders who are raising young children.   The reason that burnout levels are higher among people under 40 is because they are takin...

Jesus who has stretched out His hands all day long (Romans 10:16-21)

Jesus who has stretched out His hands all day long     [Romans 10:16-21]     We have already received the word of God under the title of “The word of faith we are proclaiming,” centered on Romans 10:1-15.   What you and I must preach is the word of the truth that salvation comes through faith in Jesus Christ.   We must never preach the untruth that salvation is obtained through human efforts and deeds.   It is not the word of faith, and it is not the true gospel.   We must spread the word of faith to our unborn believers and to dying souls.   We must boldly preach, ‘If you believe in Jesus, you will be saved!’   In particular, like Paul, we must preach the gospel of Jesus Christ to them while praying with earnest desire for the salvation of the souls of family members, relatives, and friends who are dying without knowing Jesus.   The feet of those who preach the gospel of Jesus Christ are beautiful (v. 15, quoting Isa...
