    What is being a Christian?

    In ancient context, a seal represented ownership, authenticity and security, when God seals you with the Holy Spirit, he declare to the spiritual world, this one is mine, belongs to me. The seal of the Holy Spirit is God’s response to your yes, it is not an isolated experience, but a continuous...

    What is being a Christian?

    God’s plan is no longer an indecipherable puzzle, but a living reality that can be discerned through communion with the Holy Spirit. Whoever seeks God with a sincere heart, discovers that this mystery is in fact an invitation to intimacy and cooperation with the projects of heaven. The will of...

    What is being a Christian?

    There are many Christians who continue trying to purify themselves through human effort, emotional penance and personal sacrifices, when the cross has already offered everything that was necessary. Grace is not an abstract idea, it is an active power that cleanses, heals and frees. Redemption is...

    That Is Who God Is

    Luke 18:1-8, there is a Greek word worth naming, the word the widow uses when she says, avenge me of my adversary. The word adversary is antidikou, it is a legal term, it means opponent in a lawsuit, your rival in court, the one suing you or being sued by you, but that same word, antidikou...

    What is being a Christian?

    Ephesians 1:7, this truth contains a spiritual wealth, redemption is a divine act of rescue, a definitive payment that breaks the cycle of guilt and separation between man and God. Forgiveness in turn, is more than God letting pass your mistakes, it is a complete restoration of the relationship...

    What is being a Christian?

    Romans 8:17-18, Paul places suffering at the center of the argument, not as an exception to God’s plan, not as a flaw in the system, but as a constitutive element of the Christian journey. If you suffer with him, you will also be glorified with him, the if here, is not a condition of doubt. In...

    What is being a Christian?

    Romans 8:28, work together, it is not circumstances that automatically cooperate for good, it is God who works in all things to produce good. The difference is not semantic, it is the difference between a universe automatically favorable to the believer and a God actively involved in each...

    What is being a Christian?

    Many live trapped by labels imposed by the world, failure, rejected, insecure, useless, but the Bible offers you a new narrative, a new way to see yourself, in Christ, you are beloved children, heirs, temples of the Holy Spirit, part of a heavenly body. This is not an identity earned, but...

    What is being a Christian?

    You are not the result to chance, nor the outcome of a mistake or accident along along the way, you are part of an eternal plan which already saw you as a child, even before your parents thought about having children. This completely transforms the way you see yourself, if you were chosen with...

    What is being a Christian?

    Matthew 7:13-14, Jesus is not teaching that sinners save themselves by dropping enough baggage at the door, the gospel is not moral fitness squeezed through a small entrance. Salvation is God’s grace received by faith, because of what Christ has done, not wages earned by religious effort. But...

    Her Feet Know The Route

    Luke 18:1-8, a judge who does not care. A widow who will not quit, a Greek word that carries the force of a punch and a contrast, not a comparison, between the worst human imaginable and the God who hears, that is where you are. The parable is not about getting God to move, it is about staying...

    What is being a Christian?

    Matthew 7:13-14, Jesus told people before the pressure came, difficult is the way which leads to life, not because God enjoys making life hard, not because every hard circumstance proves someone is faithful, not because Christians should go looking for suffering to validate themselves, because...

    Silence Felt Too Long

    Luke 18:6-8, Jesus is not teaching you that prayer is a way of pressuring God, he is teaching you that God is nothing like this judge, the widow’s persistence is not leverage over heaven, it is the shape of faith in a world where justice has not yet arrived. That reframes everything and that...

    Shows Up Or Gets Buried

    Ephesians 1:4, we were chosen by God before the foundation of the world, this declaration transports us to a dimension that transcends time and space, before any star shone in the sky, there was already a perfect plan drawn up by a sovereign God who decided to love, adopt and include flawed...

    Shows Up Or Gets Buried

    Romans 8:18-22, the word creation encompasses everything that has been made, the natural world, the animals, the elements, the structure of the cosmos, this creation was subjected to vanity, which carries the sense of futility, incompleteness of existence below its original potential, not by its...

    Shows Up Or Gets Buried

    Romans 8:15, the believers received the spirit of adoption by which we cry, abba, father, Paul is affirming something of enormous weight. The word abba describes a familial intimacy that goes beyond religious protocol, it is not the Lord Almighty of formal liturgy, it is the father that a child...

    Shows Up Or Gets Buried

    Romans 8:14-17, what it means to be a Christian, a concept that goes far beyond the language of obedience and disobedience, of right and wrong, of divine approval and disapproval, Paul speaks of adoption as children. In the Roman world of the first century, adoption was not a sentimental...

    Shows Up Or Gets Buried

    The carnal mind is not simply a mind that thinks about wrong things, it is a mind that has established its own sovereignty as the final criterion for everything. The carnal mind evaluates suffering by asking, why is this happening to me? The carnal mind evaluates success by asking, what have I...

    Black Eye

    Luke 18:4-5, this is where the Greek gets sharp, that word “weary” is “hypopiaze,” it is the exact same verb used for a boxer landing a punch under his opponent’s eye. The judge is not complaining about being bothered, he is imagining his face, his public face, the one the whole town sees and he...
