Where they saw sin, God was giving us a Savior
When human beings dreamed of being kings and kings dreamed of being God, God became fragile like a baby

A God who decided to suffer… And to enjoy!
Without a doubt, one of the most beautiful names of Jesus is Emmanuel, God with us. I never cease to marvel as I draw near to the astonishing reality of a God who did not ask us to “become divine,” knowing our inability to do so, but instead chose to become human.

From grief to healing: Making room for God’s new
There are many kinds of grief. Sometimes we grieve the absence of those we have loved, but other times the grief happens quietly inside us, in that tender place where our memories, traditions, and expectations live. In the life of a church, this kind of grief also appears when God invites us to let go of what no longer gives life so we can receive the new thing God is preparing.

It is time to turn back to Jesus
When you hear the testimonies of others who prayed all night, fasted for 40 days, evangelized and won thousands of people to Christ, healed the sick, memorized the entire Bible, and you feel pressured to get to their level, it is time to turn back to Jesus.

When People Search for God in Their Phones
A few weeks ago, The New York Times published an article titled “Finding God in the App Store.” It described how millions of people around the world are turning to chatbots and religious apps to find guidance, comfort, and forgiveness. These tools, trained on sacred texts, have become digital companions for those who seek hope, prayer, or understanding at any hour of the day or night.

It Is Well with My Soul
During these days of so much turbulence in the United States and around the world, we have been shaken by the news of lives lost in recent killings. The tragic deaths of people such as Charlie Kirk, Iryna Zarutska, and even months ago, Melissa Hortman, remind us of how fragile life can be

Resting
From the very beginning, the Bible tells us that after creating the heavens and the earth, God rested on the seventh day. This is a detail we often rush past, but it holds a beautiful truth. Pastor Edgardo Peña, once pointed out that the very last thing God created was the human being, and immediately after came God’s rest. What if this means that the rest of God is not an empty silence or a distance from creation. Rather, God's rest happens with us present. In other words, we are God’s rest.

My Children Don’t Want to Follow Jesus
Not a few cases exist where a son or daughter, at a young age, despite the principles received at home, decides not to embrace the Christian faith or stay under their family values. This can bring great disappointment to parents, who carry on their shoulders a pain that finally leads them to ask themselves, What did we do wrong?

Spiritual Maturity
We continue our series on spiritual maturity, focusing on how it relates to leadership and service in the church.
Interestingly, in our context, maturity is often mistaken for longevity in the church, holding important titles, or having theological knowledge. Some believers, especially those with influence, seek recognition through power or title roles like pastor, prophet, or leader. But this mindset promotes a culture of status rather than service.

Winning arguments, losing relationships
Sadly, conflicts and divisions within our own church communities have become all too common. Differences in opinion, leadership styles, priorities, or even personality clashes often lead to misunderstandings, gossip, and even verbal harm. These struggles are not new. They echo the tensions we see in the earliest Christian communities, where new believers wrestled with how to follow Jesus in the midst of diverse backgrounds and expectations.

Creativity, Canoas, and Parting Oceans
One of the things I admire most about God is how creative God is.
Remember the story of the Israelites escaping Egypt? Pharaoh’s army was chasing them, and right in front of them was the sea. They didn’t have ships. They didn’t even have a single canoa. Still, God didn’t say, “Sorry, there’s no way forward.” Instead, God opened the sea itself. Yes, the sea! That always makes me smile. God doesn’t need a boat when there’s imagination and power at work.
