Hno, Jeff, Dios lo siga usando grandemente como lo viene haciendo al participar en la edificación del cuerpo de Cristo.
Recuerdo con mucho gozo cuando por primera vez se realizaba en Lima Perú en la Iglesia Bíblica Bautista “El Bosque” el PRIMER CONGRESO NACIONAL BAUTISTA, es decir bautista de diferentes denominaciones y usted empezaba con estas palabras HOY A OCURRIDO UN MILAGRO, y continuaba diciendo QUE SILENCIO SEPULCRAL, no se si era el año 89 o 92 pero le digo que hasta ahora se escucha todo lo que Dios hizo en aquel congreso que marco los corazones de muchos siervos de Dios y me uno a ellos porque mi vida también fue bendecida y posteriormente cuando nos visito para compartir LO QUE DICE LA BIBLIA, cuando visitó la iglesia bautista de la Molina donde esta el pastor Tomas Pace compartiendo LA FILOSOFIA DEL DISCIPULADO.
Por todo ello y lo que Dios seguira haciendo con su vida, Dios lo bendiga y le siga dando salud.
Sal.119:63
Soy el pastor LUIS DUYMOVICH ahora sirviendo al Señor en la Iglesia Bautista de San Luis de Lima.

Huh? Sorry, but I’m not sure I even understand your question, much less what it has to do with this post.

Comment on so how did you spend MLK day? by Mary

“Our society is still ill with horrible prejudice, stereotypes, discrimination, bigotry, hatred and bitterness. And, it goes way beyond black and white.”
So true.
I heard about your church for the first time today and was disturbed by what I heard. My best friend told me that 22 years ago, when she was a tithing, devoted member of your church, she was forcibly removed from the church amid suspicions she was gay. She “had a lifestyle that was ‘of the devil’” my friend was told by the two associate pastors who pulled her out of the middle of a church service (for God’s sake!) and acosted her, physically and verbally, with the pronouncement that she was not welcome in your church until she committed to a program that would ‘fix’ her. Let me get this straight: In a church that purports to be welcoming, as part of a religion that claims to be based on the word of Jesus, a committed church member is literally removed from the church based on suspicion that she is gay.
Wow.
Sounds like prejudice, stereotypes, discrimination, bigotry, hatred and bitterness. And it does, indeed, go way beyond black and white.

Where did the idea come from that Christians after the Great Throne of Judgement that the earth would over populate and the Christians would rule over the Jews on their (the Christians) own planets? Thank you.

Comment on where is your night music? by Enrique Ginocchio Reeves

I read once about people being the “melancholic” type, that most of the music composers are part of this group. It´s one of the misteries of God´s creation, how sorrow gives birth to the most beautiful music, poetry, etc. And remember, the masterpiece of God, the Church, was born of the greatest sorrow in God´s heart: the death of His own Son.

Jeff, you’re so good at explaining this, you sound like you have a Ph.D. in expository preaching…..oh, I forgot…you do! You have a great way of making it understandable, but the thing I like is that your love of the scripture and your enthusiasm for teaching it shines brightly!

Context! This passage has nothing to do with how to make it to heaven. The heart of the passage is verse 13 that is God’s message to this couple that they will miraculously have a child in old age who will fulfill scripture by preparing the way for the Messiah. This is still an Old Testament context in that Jesus Christ has not yet been offered up on the Cross. The words righteous and blameless are used in the same sense as in the Old Testament and neither means sinless or flawless. Interestingly enough, the passage DOES deal with faith extensively as the chapter continues. A key event is Zacharias’ lack of faith to believe what God has spoken to him through the angel. However, once again this faith is not what is sometimes referred to as “saving faith,” but rather is his failure, as a believer, to specifically believe what God has spoken to him about his life on earth. Thanks for the question!
