Paul’s Ponders I recently heard this phrase: “There’s a lot of evil people in that church.” Immediately we say, “Not us! We are a loving church!” We may not be as good as our “Sunday Morning Best” may indicate. How would you like to have this in your church? There are some who make controversial speculations. Others have turned to meaningless talk and they don’t know what they are talking about or what they so confidently affirm. Some have not held on to their faith and good conscience. Others use God’s name inappropriately and blaspheme. There are hypocritical liars with no conscience. Some spread godless myths and old wives’ tales. They are idlers and busybodies who speak nonsense and say things they shouldn’t say. There is godless chatter about false knowledge. Does this sound like a horrible place? All of these are about the church in Ephesus. Paul talks to Timothy about them in I and II Timothy. All churches have some elements that are not Godly. We are people, redeemed, but still people and our human nature goes where we go. We can combat it with hard work, perseverance and love. Jesus told that to the Ephesians. 2 I know your deeds, your hard work and your perseverance. I know that you cannot tolerate wicked people, that you have tested those who claim to be apostles but are not, and have found them false. 3 You have persevered and have endured hardships for my name, and have not grown weary. 4 Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken the love you had at first. 5 Consider how far you have fallen! Repent and do the things you did at first. Revelation 2:2-5

Aveces Pienso 1Pedro 2:9 9 Pero ustedes son linaje escogido, real sacerdocio, nación santa, pueblo adquirido para posesión de Dios, a fin de que anuncien las virtudes de aquel que los llamó de las tinieblas a su luz admirable; Y cómo podría ser eso posible, hay veces que pienso que la tierra santa esta dentro de cada uno de nosotros vivimos en una lucha constante por sobre vivir. Después de la muerte de Moisés, siervo del Señor, que el Señor habló a Josué, hijo de Nun, y ayudante de Moisés, diciendo: Mi siervo Moisés ha muerto; ahora pues, levántate, cruza este Jordán, tú y todo este pueblo, a la tierra que yo les doy a los hijos de Israel. Y también dentro de nosotros hay un río de pensamientos que perturba nuestra mente y que tenemos que cruzar, ilusiones fallidas que ofuscan nuestra forma de actuar y de pensar, sin embargo la comisión De Dios para Josué fue esta: Sé fuerte y valiente, porque tú darás a este pueblo posesión de la tierra que juré a sus padres que les daría. Solamente sé fuerte y muy valiente; cuídate de cumplir toda la ley que Moisés mi siervo te mandó; no te desvíes de ella ni a la derecha ni a la izquierda, para que tengas éxito dondequiera que vayas. Este libro de la ley no se apartará de tu boca, sino que meditarás en él día y noche, para que cuides de hacer todo lo que en él está escrito; porque entonces harás prosperar tu camino y tendrás éxito. ¿No te lo he ordenado yo? ¡Sé fuerte y valiente! No temas ni te acobardes, porque el Señor tu Dios estará contigo dondequiera que vayas. Nadie te podrá hacer frente en todos los días de tu vida. Así como estuve con Moisés, estaré contigo; no te dejaré ni te abandonaré.

Yo soy tu hermano Gilberto......
