- [Jesús: Desde la Eternidad Hasta la Eternidad](https://baonline.org/es/jesus-desde-la-eternidad-hasta-la-eternidad/): por Denise Kohlmeyer El 4 de julio de 2001, di a luz a una niña sana a las 11:46 p.m. Irónicamente, tuvieron que llamar a mi médico para que bajara de la azotea del hospital dos horas antes, porque estaba viendo los fuegos artificiales de la zona. Aunque a mi “explosiva” hija no le gusta compartir esta festividad patriótica con millones de personas (antes le decíamos que los fuegos artificiales eran para celebrarla), es una historia divertida de contar. ¡Y desde luego está grabada en mi memoria! Como la mayoría de las madres, sé las fechas y horas exactas del […]
- [Jesus: From Everlasting to Everlasting](https://baonline.org/jesus-from-everlasting-to-everlasting/): by Denise Kohlmeyer On July 4, 2001, I gave birth to a healthy baby girl at 11:46 p.m. Ironically, my doctor had to be called down from the roof of the hospital two hours beforehand because he’d been watching the local fireworks. While my “firecracker” daughter dislikes sharing this patriotic holiday with millions of people (we used to tell her the fireworks were to celebrate her), it’s a fun story to tell. And it’s certainly embedded in my memory! Like most mothers, I know the exact dates and times of my children’s births. Within the year of each one’s birth, […]
- [Preguntas y Respuestas](https://baonline.org/es/preguntas-y-respuestas-3/): ¿Qué es la Encarnación y por qué es importante? La palabra encarnación proviene de un término latino que significa “hacerse carne” (Juan 1:14). La Encarnación es la creencia cristiana de que Jesús fue el Hijo de Dios y el Hijo del hombre — verdaderamente humano y verdaderamente divino. Desde la eternidad, el Hijo entró en la historia y asumió la naturaleza de carne de una madre humana virgen y de Su Padre divino. Esto es importante porque es el diseño de Dios para la redención de la humanidad. La encarnación es el acto de Dios para restaurar a las personas […]
- [Questions & Answers](https://baonline.org/questions-answers-2/): What is the Incarnation, and why is it important? The word incarnation comes from a Latin word that means “to be made flesh” (John 1:14). The Incarnation is the Christian belief that Jesus was the Son of God and son of man — truly human and truly divine. From eternity, the Son entered history and took on the nature of flesh from a virgin human mother and His divine Father. This is important because it is God’s design for the redemption of humanity. Incarnation is God’s act to restore people into a relationship with God and to grow them into […]
- [Los Límites de Sus Caminos](https://baonline.org/es/los-limites-de-sus-caminos/): Espacio. Oscuridad sobre la faz de las profundidadesUn horizonte circular sobre la faz de las aguasY un mundo suspendido en la nada Tiempo. Límite de luz y oscuridadGobierno del sol, la luna y las estrellasSin Mí nada fue creado Materia. La arcilla y el AlfareroVida marina, aves, animales y el hombreTodo lo creado, considerado bueno Mi camino determinado para MíAntes de que el mundo existieraPara salvar un mundo descarriado Los meros límites de Sus caminos.Qué pequeño susurro oímosEl trueno desconocido de Su poder ¡Más grande que el espacio!¡Más antiguo que el tiempo!¡Más grande que la materia! Dorothy Nimchuk
- [The Edges of His Ways](https://baonline.org/the-edges-of-his-ways/): Space. Darkness on the face of the deepA circular horizon on the face of the watersAnd a world hung on nothingness Time. Boundary of light and darknessRule of sun, moon, and starsWithout Me nothing was made Matter. The clay and the PotterSea life, birds, animals, and manAll fashioned, deemed as good My path determined for MeBefore the world wasTo save a world amok The mere edges of His ways. How small a whisper we hearThe unknown thunder of His power Larger than space!Older than time!Greater than matter! Dorothy Nimchuk
- [David Descubre los Comienzos de Jesús](https://baonline.org/es/david-descubre-los-comienzos-de-jesus/): por Marcia Sanders “En el principio era el Verbo, y el Verbo era con Dios, y el Verbo era Dios”, le leyó David a Skippy, quien siempre estaba listo para escuchar a David. “Hmm . . . interesante”, reflexionó. “Y el siguiente verso dice: ‘Este era en el principio con Dios’. Eso es Juan 1:1, 2. Y se vuelve aún más interesante aquí en el verso 10, donde dice: ‘En el mundo estaba, y el mundo por él fue hecho’. Esto tiene que estar hablando de Jesús. Escucha el verso 14: ‘Y aquel Verbo fue hecho carne, y habitó entre […]
- [David Discovers Jesus’ Beginning](https://baonline.org/david-discoversjesus-beginning/): by Marcia Sanders “‘In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God,’” David read to Skippy, who was always ready to listen to David. “Hmm . . . interesting,” he mused. “And the next verse says, ‘He was in the beginning with God.’ That’s John 1:1, 2. And it gets even more interesting down here in verse 10, where it says, ‘He was in the world, and the world was made through him.’ This has to be talking about Jesus. Listen to verse 14: ‘And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, […]
- [Una Luz en el Silencio](https://baonline.org/es/una-luz-en-el-silencio/): La ausencia puede hacer mucho ruido. Pero Dios escucha. por Bukhtawer Shabab El silencio se apodera de una casa cuando falta una persona. Es un silencio que pesa como una carga inamovible sobre el pecho, es más que un simple zumbido en los oídos. Habían pasado tres semanas desde el funeral de mi hija Emily. Tenía siete años. Partió de este mundo en 48 horas debido a una infección inesperada y fiebre alta. No hubo tiempo para despedirse. No hubo suficiente tiempo para prepararse. Simplemente se fue. Intentaba sentirme cerca de ella sentándome en el borde de su cama cada […]
- [A Light in the Silence](https://baonline.org/a-light-in-the-silence/): Absence can be so loud.But God hears. by Bukhtawer Shabab The silence descends upon a home when a person is absent. The kind that weighs heavily on your chest like an immovable burden, rather than just ringing in your ears. Three weeks had passed since my daughter Emily’s funeral. She was seven years old. She left this world within 48 hours of experiencing an unexpected infection and high fever. No time to bid farewell. Not enough time to get ready. Simply gone.   I tried to feel close to her by sitting on the edge of her bed every morning. Her […]
- [¿Miedo a la Luz?](https://baonline.org/es/miedo-a-la-luz/): Cómo luchar contra las fuerzas de las tinieblas. por Nathanael Reed Podemos perdonar fácilmente a un niño que tiene miedo a la oscuridad; la verdadera tragedia de la vida es cuando los hombres tienen miedo a la luz. — Desconocido ¿“Miedo a la luz”? ¡Qué acusación tan desconcertante! De hecho, parece contradictorio pensar que alguien realmente tema a una entidad tan vivificante. La cita anterior (atribuida erróneamente a Platón) se refiere, por supuesto, a algo más que el miedo a la oscuridad física. Jesucristo expuso la misma analogía al hablar con el erudito fariseo Nicodemo, explicando que la gente teme […]
- [Afraid of the Light?](https://baonline.org/afraid-of-the-light/): How to do battle with the forces of darkness. by Nathanael Reed We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light. — Unknown “Afraid of the light”? What a puzzling accusation. In fact, it seems rather counterintuitive to think that anyone would actually fear such a life-giving entity. The above quote (attributed erroneously to Plato) of course references more than a fear of physical darkness. Jesus Christ expounded on the same analogy when speaking with the learned Pharisee, Nicodemus, explaining that people are afraid […]
- [Toma Esta Copa](https://baonline.org/es/toma-esta-copa/): por Santiago Chavez La mujer, educada y bien vestida, nos mostraba fotos en su teléfono móvil de una famosa cantante de pop surcoreana, comparando su belleza con la de nuestra hija. Siempre había pensado que nuestra hija tenía el mismo atractivo que su mamá, pero se me hizo gracioso su insistencia, deslumbrada, que interrumpió brevemente nuestra cena en un restaurante local. Supongo que había cierto parecido entre nuestra hija y la cantante. Se suponía que nuestra bebé milagro no era lo suficientemente atractiva como para causar interrupciones tan agradables. Poco después de su concepción, una ecografía de rutina detectó algunas […]
- [Take This Cup](https://baonline.org/take-this-cup-2/): by Santiago Chavez The polite, well-dressed woman showed us photographs on her mobile phone of a famous South Korean pop music singer, comparing her beauty to our baby daughter’s. I have always thought our daughter had her mother’s great looks, but I was still amused by the lady’s star-struck insistence that briefly interrupted our dinner at a local noodle shop. I guess there was some resemblance between our daughter and the singer. Our miracle baby was not supposed to be attractive enough to cause such pleasant interruptions. Shortly after her conception, a routine ultrasound detected some tissue redundancies in the […]

- [Misiones en Una Zona de Guerra](https://baonline.org/es/misiones-en-una-zona-de-guerra/): por Ronald Rousseau Cuando tenía unos ocho años y vivía en Puerto Príncipe, Haití, un amigo de la familia se acercó a nuestra casa en su camioneta Cherokee. Tanto él como la camioneta estaban cubiertos de una gruesa capa de polvo. Parecía como si él hubiera viajado en el techo de la camioneta. Una vez que nuestro amigo salió del auto, le pregunté: “Gran Ronald [yo era el pequeño Ronald], ¿de dónde vienes?”. Dijo que había salido de Puerto Príncipe esa mañana, había conducido hasta Les Cayes y había regresado, todo en el mismo día. No sé de dónde salieron […]
- [Missions in a War Zone](https://baonline.org/missions-in-a-war-zone/): by Ronald Rousseau When I was about eight years old and living in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, a friend of the family drove up to the front of our home in his Cherokee truck. Both he and the truck were covered in a thick layer of dust. He looked as though he had ridden on the truck’s roof. Once our friend climbed out, I asked him, “Big Ronald [I was little Ronald], where are you coming from?” He said that he left Port-au-Prince that morning, drove to Les Cayes, and drove back all in the same day. I don’t know where the […]
- [Fidelidad en el Desierto](https://baonline.org/es/fidelidad-en-el-desierto/): Aprendiendo a llevar nuestra cruz. por Ruhama Assefa A veces nos sentamos en silencio, inseguros de cómo afrontar la vida. Las cuentas, las calificaciones, el matrimonio, la presión. Todos tenemos nuestros propios problemas. Como cristianos, recurrimos a nuestro Padre celestial en oración, pero hay momentos en que las palabras simplemente no bastan. En cambio, las lágrimas fluyen. Aun así, descansamos en la verdad de que Dios comprende nuestro clamor más profundamente que nosotros mismos. Recuerdo haber recibido una llamada que me cambió la vida cuando estaba en décimo grado. Una amiga que era como una hermana para mí había intentado […]
- [Faithfulness in the Wilderness](https://baonline.org/faithfulness-in-the-wilderness/): Learning to carry our cross. by Ruhama Assefa Sometimes we sit silently, unsure of how to handle life. Bills, grades, marriage, pressure. We all have our share of troubles. As Christians, we turn to our heavenly Father in prayer, but there are moments when words simply don’t suffice. Instead, tears flow. Yet even then, we rest in the truth that God understands our cries more deeply than we do ourselves. I remember receiving a life-altering phone call when I was in tenth grade. A friend who was like a sister to me had attempted suicide. I was waiting for the […]
- [Un Cristiano de Alta Fidelidad](https://baonline.org/es/un-cristiano-de-alta-fidelidad/): Ser fiel a Cristo — y permanecer así. por Stephen R. Clark Hubo una vez en que la “alta fidelidad” era algo muy importante. Decirle a tus amigos: “¡Me regalaron un equipo de alta fidelidad genial por mi cumpleaños!” era un alarde impresionante y digno de celebrar. El término “hi-fi” era una contracción de high fidelity (alta fidelidad). En ocasión de un cumpleaños, significaba que te regalaban un tocadiscos nuevo y espectacular. Fiel al original La música reproducida en alta fidelidad simplemente significaba que lo que se escuchaba por los altavoces era lo más parecido posible a cómo sonaba la […]
- [A High-Fidelity Christian](https://baonline.org/a-high-fidelity-christian/): Becoming faithful to Christ — and staying that way. by Stephen R. Clark Once upon a time, “hi-fi” was a big deal. Telling your friends, “I got a cool hi-fi for my birthday!” was an impressive boast and might have earned you a high five. The term was a contraction of the term high fidelity. In the case of your birthday, it meant you got a hot new record player. Faithful to the original Music rendered in high fidelity simply meant that what you heard coming from your speakers was as close as possible to how the music sounded live. […]
- [“No Puedo Saborearlo”](https://baonline.org/es/no-puedo-saborearlo/): por Allison Wilson Lee Eché un cubito de hielo del congelador de mis abuelos al vaso de agua y se lo di a mi prima. Juliet le dio un sorbo y luego me miró confundida. “No sabe a nada”, dijo la adorable niñita de cuatro años. ¿Qué es lo que no sabe a nada?, me pregunté. Era solo agua de la llave. ¿Qué había en ella para saborear? Pero mientras Juliet seguía mirándome, me di cuenta. No era un sabor lo que faltaba; era el hielo lo que no podía “saborear”. “¡Oh!”, le respondí. “Puedo darte otro cubito de hielo. […]
- [“I Can’t Taste It”](https://baonline.org/i-cant-taste-it/): by Allison Wilson Lee I dropped a cube of ice from my grandparents’ freezer into the cup of water and handed it to my cousin. Juliet took a sip and then looked up at me with confusion. “I can’t taste it,” the cute little four-year-old said. Taste what? I wondered. It was only water from the faucet in the kitchen sink. What was there to taste? But as Juliet continued to stare at me, realization dawned. It wasn’t a flavor that was missing; it was the ice she couldn’t “taste.” “Oh!” I answered her. “I can give you another ice […]
- [Enfrentando al Enemigo](https://baonline.org/es/enfrentando-al-enemigo/): Aprendiendo a hacer lo que los discípulos probablemente hicieron. por Sarah Schwerin M i profesor de inglés de la preparatoria estaba de pie detrás de su escritorio, con sus ojos grises de acero observando a la clase. “Toda verdad es relativa“, dijo. “No existe el bien ni el mal“. Como de costumbre, la mayoría de los estudiantes asintieron y lo miraron absortos mientras hablaba. Sin embargo, el Espíritu Santo me instó a discrepar. Me sudaban las palmas de las manos y sentía náuseas. ¿Cómo podía discutir con un profesor al que todos querían y respetaban? ¿Cómo podía defender mi fe […]
- [Facing the Foe](https://baonline.org/facing-the-foe/): Learning to do what the disciples should have done. by Sarah Schwerin My high school English teacher stood behind his desk, his steely gray eyes surveying the class. “All truth is relative,” he said. “There is no right or wrong.” As usual, most of the students nodded their heads and stared in rapt attention as he spoke. Yet the Holy Spirit urged me to disagree. My palms sweated, and I felt nauseous. How could I argue with a teacher everyone loved and respected? How could I stand up for my faith to someone who didn’t believe what I believed? Although […]
- [“Hágase Tu Voluntad”](https://baonline.org/es/hagase-tu-voluntad/): por Bob Hostetler Quizás lo hayas dicho. Yo lo he dicho: “Si yo pudiera hacer las cosas a mi manera . . .”. A veces, lo motiva la insatisfacción con la situación actual. Otras veces, tiene más que ver con una decepción o un miedo. Y la mayoría de las veces (¿quizás siempre?) es una arrogante aprobación de mi propia sabiduría y rectitud. Por eso es bueno que yo ore. Y aún mejor, que haga oración a diario. Y aún mejor, el Padre Nuestro siempre forma parte de mis oraciones, porque incluye un importante recordatorio: “Venga tu reino. Hágase tu voluntad, como […]
- [“Thy Will Be Done”](https://baonline.org/thy-will-be-done/): by Bob Hostetler Maybe you’ve said it. I know I have: “If I had my way . . . ” Sometimes it’s prompted by dissatisfaction with the current state of affairs. At other times, it has more to do with a disappointment I’ve faced or a fear I have. And most of the time (maybe all of the time?) it’s an arrogant endorsement of my own wisdom and righteousness. That’s why it’s a good thing that I pray. And even better, that I pray daily. And still better that the Lord’s Prayer is always a part of my prayers because […]
- [Una Caminata Digna](https://baonline.org/es/una-caminata-digna/): La obediencia y su recompensa. por Dr. David R. Downey Si hay un concepto que sobresale de todos los demás en las Escrituras, ese es el de la obediencia. Dios señala constantemente esta característica en las personas a las que puede bendecir, ya que la obediencia no es más que observar, en primer lugar, que Dios es soberano y, después, confiar en que Él nos guíe. En pocas palabras, nuestra desobediencia nos metió en este lío, la obediencia total de Jesús nos sacó de él, y nuestro reto es buscar la obediencia durante el resto de nuestras vidas. Cuando somos […]
- [A Worthy Walk](https://baonline.org/a-worthy-walk/): Obedience and its reward. by Dr. David R. Downey If there is a concept that rises above all others in Scripture, it may be that of obedience. God constantly points to this characteristic in the people He can bless, for obedience is nothing more than observing, first, that God is sovereign and then trusting Him to lead. Stated simply, our disobedience got us into this mess, Jesus’ total obedience got us out of it, and our challenge is to pursue obedience the rest of our lives. When we are obedient, Scripture says that we are worthy in our walk. First […]
- [Sarah’s Oil ](https://baonline.org/sarahs-oil/): Amazon MGM Studios, Wonder Project, and Kingdom Story Company bring audiences the remarkable true story, Sarah’s Oil, in theaters nationwide this Friday, November 7. The biographical drama, inspired by Tonya Bolden’s 2014 book, Searching for Sarah Rector: The Richest Black Girl in America, tells the remarkable true story of Sarah Rector, an African American girl born in Oklahoma Indian Territory in the early 1900s. She believes there is oil beneath the barren land she’s allotted and whose faith is proven right. As greedy oil sharks close in, Sarah turns to her family, friends, and some Texas wildcatters to maintain control of […]
- [No Dudes, Tomás](https://baonline.org/es/no-dudes-tomas/): Por Mike Wallace De alguna manera, Tomás perdió la llamada y no llegó a la reunión. Había sido una semana tumultuosa, que terminó con la crucifixión de su amigo y mentor, Jesús. Jerusalén estaba alborotada, y los pocos discípulos que seguían a Jesús se habían escondido, encerrándose en una habitación para discutir la situación. Tomás se perdió esta reunión inicial cuando Jesús se apareció a los discípulos y demostró que estaba vivo. Más tarde, cuando a Tomás se le contó sobre esto, dijo que a menos que pudiera ver y tocar al Señor, no creería. Él había visto el brutal […]
- [Don’t Doubt Thomas](https://baonline.org/dont-doubt-thomas/): by Mike Wallace Somehow, Thomas missed the call and did not make the meeting. It had been a tumultuous week, ending in the crucifixion of his friend and mentor, Jesus. Jerusalem was in an uproar, and the few disciples who followed Jesus had gone into hiding, locking themselves in a room to discuss the situation. Thomas missed this initial meeting when Jesus appeared to the disciples and proved He was alive. Later, when Thomas was told about this, he proclaimed that unless he could see and touch the Lord, he would not believe. He had seen Jesus’ brutal killing on […]
- [David Descubre la Fidelidad](https://baonline.org/es/david-descubre-la-fidelidad/): por Marcia Sanders “¡Mamá! ¡Mamá! ¡No vas a creer lo que ha pasado hoy en el colegio!”, gritó David mientras entraba corriendo a la casa. “¡Pues claro que no me lo puedo imaginar!”, respondió su madre riendo. “Supongo que tendrás que contármelo”. “¿Te acuerdas lo emocionado que estaba por hacer la prueba para el papel protagonista en la obra del colegio y que hoy era el día de las pruebas?”. “Sí, lo recuerdo” dijo mamá. “Apenas si podías quedarte quieto en la mesa para desayunar esta mañana”. “Bueno” respondió David sin aliento, “después de la escuela, el Sr. Fisher dijo […]
- [David Discovers Faithfulness](https://baonline.org/david-discovers-faithfulness/): by Marcia Sanders “Mom! Mom! You won’t believe what happened at school today!” David shouted as he ran into the house. “Well, I can’t even imagine!” Mom laughed. “I guess you’ll just have to tell me about it.” “You know how I’ve been excited about trying out for the lead in the class play and how those tryouts were today?” “Yes, I do,” Mom said. “You could hardly sit still at the table to eat breakfast this morning.” “Well,” David replied breathlessly, “after school Mr. Fisher said I got the main part — the very one I’d been wanting!” “David, that’s […]
- [The Gifts in Goodbye](https://baonline.org/the-gifts-in-goodbye/): Posted on October 31, 2025 God gives strength and peace for moments of departure. by Tammy Darling I never saw a person die before. I never would have thought I could watch my mother die. Today, I did just that. And I was at peace. Gradual decline For more than thirteen years, my mother suffered from the effects of dementia and Parkinson’s disease. It had been several years since I last heard her voice. For multiple months leading up to her passing she couldn’t move any part of her body. At. All. The week of her passing . . . no food, […]
- [¿Buscar o Esperar?](https://baonline.org/es/buscar-o-esperar/): Pautas para buscar pareja para toda la vida – a la manera de Dios. por Israel Rodriguez Recientemente, un hermano de la iglesia me hizo una pregunta que, aunque sencilla, revela una profunda preocupación compartida por muchos cristianos, jóvenes y no tan jóvenes. Miles de creyentes se hacen esta pregunta a diario, especialmente aquellos que desean honrar a Dios en todas las áreas de su vida, incluyendo el amor y el matrimonio: ¿Es más espiritual esperar pacientemente en oración a esa persona especial, o es aceptable tomar la iniciativa y buscarla? Esta tensión entre la acción humana y la dependencia […]
- [Look or Wait?](https://baonline.org/look-or-wait/): Guidelines for seeking a partner for life — God’s way. by Israel Rodriguez Recently, a brother from church asked me a question that, although simple, reveals a deep concern shared by many young and not-so-young Christians. Thousands of believers ask themselves this question every day, especially those who wish to honor God in all areas of their lives, including love and marriage: Is it more spiritual to wait patiently in prayer for that special someone, or is it acceptable to take initiative and search for them? This tension between human action and dependence on God’s will has sparked many doubts, […]
- [Still Hope](https://baonline.org/still-hope/): Fathom Entertainment, the leading specialty distributor of content to theatrical partners worldwide, in partnership with Pixels of Hope Studios and Studio 523, announced the upcoming theatrical release of Still Hope. Premiering in theatres nationwide February 5–9, 2026, the film seeks to raise awareness of the global issue of sex trafficking and the vital role of recovery resources for individuals healing from trauma.

Ripped from all she knows and forced into sex trafficking, Hope is stripped of her […]
- [Notas Otoñales](https://baonline.org/es/notas-otonales/): Las hojas otoñales ya han comenzado a caer, y bajo el cielo azul de octubre, brillan. Responden al llamado de nuestro gran Creador, viajando por el aire frío, definiendo su creatividad y audaz perfección. Cada hoja es una bendición en un giro vibrante — un festín de matices que permite la introspección para la humanidad, y que nos hace anhelar toda la belleza de esta temporada, obra de Su mano. Basta con tomarnos el tiempo para contemplar y fijar la mirada en esta tierra sagrada para contemplar la maravilla de Sus caminos. Él nos brinda la paz otoñal para encontrar […]
- [Autumnal Notes](https://baonline.org/autumnal-notes/): The autumn leaves have now begun to fall, and ‘neath the blue October skies, lay shining. They’re answering our great Creator’s call wayfaring through the chilly air defining His creativity and bold perfection, each leaf a blessing in a vibrant turn — a feast of hues allowing introspection for humankind, that makes one start to yearn for all this season’s beauty by His hand. One only has to take the time to gaze and set our eyes upon this hallowed land to contemplate the wonder of His ways. He lends autumnal peace to find some rhyme amid the great eternal […]
- [Preguntas y Respuestas](https://baonline.org/es/preguntas-y-respuestas-2/): El Nuevo Testamento a menudo nos dice que “velemos”. ¿Qué se supone que debemos velar? Velar significa vivir cada día con un sentido de urgencia, anticipando con entusiasmo el regreso del Señor mientras participamos activamente en Su obra en el presente. La instrucción de velar significa un estado espiritual de vigilancia y se usa de varias maneras. En algunos casos, la instrucción abarca más de una de estas áreas. Por lo tanto, los textos de referencia a veces aparecen en más de un lugar en la lista a continuación. Analicemos brevemente cada uno de ellos. Velad, pues, porque no sabéis […]
- [Questions & Answers](https://baonline.org/questions-answers/): The New Testament often tells us to “watch.” What are we supposed to be watching for? Watching is about living each day with a sense of urgency, eagerly anticipating the Lord’s return while actively participating in His work in the present. The instruction to watch signifies a spiritual state of vigilance, and it is used in several ways. In some occurrences, the instruction includes more than one of these areas. Hence the reference texts sometimes appear in more than one place in the list below. Let’s look briefly at each of these. Watch because you do not know the time […]
- [El Camino de la Espera](https://baonline.org/es/el-camino-de-la-espera/): Una jornada personal de aprender la paciencia del reino. por Ruhama Assefa Hay un tipo de espera que te transforma — no sólo el paso del tiempo, sino el tipo de espera profunda y espiritual que madura tu alma. He caminado a través de ella. He orado. He llorado. Y en cada momento, Dios estaba moldeando en mí algo que ahora reconozco como la paciencia del reino. Altas y bajas Fui la primogénita de mi familia y, desde que tengo memoria, anhelaba tener un hermano. Jalaba la mano de mis padres y decía: “¡Quiero una hermanita!”. Pero cuando estaba en […]
- [The Way of Waiting](https://baonline.org/the-way-of-waiting/): A personal journey of learning kingdom patience. by Ruhama Assefa There’s a kind of waiting that transforms you — not just the passing of time but the kind of deep, spiritual waiting that matures your soul. I’ve walked through it. I’ve prayed through it. I’ve cried through it. And through every moment, God was shaping something in me that I now recognize as kingdom patience. Highs and lows I was the firstborn daughter in my family, and for as long as I can remember, I longed for a sibling. I would tug on my parents’ hands and say, “I want […]
- [Paciencia en la Espera](https://baonline.org/es/paciencia-en-la-espera/): por Whaid Rose Los líderes de la iglesia enfrentan el desafío constante de cómo medir el impacto del ministerio. Queremos que nuestros esfuerzos cuenten para algo. Sin embargo, cuando medimos el éxito con estándares equivocados, surge un problema. Según los criterios seculares, el éxito del ministerio suele medirse por el número de personas que asisten (cuerpos), los recursos financieros (dinero) y el tamaño de las instalaciones (edificios). El ministerio trata de las personas e implica dinero. Disponer de instalaciones adecuadas tiene sus ventajas. Pero convertirlas en la única medida del éxito va en contra de lo que observamos en la […]
- [Patience in Waiting](https://baonline.org/patience-in-waiting/): by Whaid Rose Church leaders face the ongoing challenge of how to measure ministry impact. We want our efforts to count for something. However, when we measure success by the wrong standards, a problem arises. By secular standards, ministry success is usually about the number of people in attendance (bodies), financial resources (bucks), and facilities’ size (buildings). Ministry is about people, and it involves money. There are benefits to having adequate facilities. But making them the sole measurement of success runs counter to what we observe in the life and ministry of Jesus. Since He is our model, let’s take […]
- [The Case for Miracles](https://baonline.org/the-case-for-miracles/): Miracles are sung about, preached about, and debated. But New York Times bestselling author Lee Strobel sets out to investigate them and put their factual validity to the test. His new feature-length film on the subject,The Case for Miracles, is coming to theatres nationwide December 15-18 from Fathom Entertainment, the leading specialty distributor of content to theatrical partners worldwide. In The Case for Miracles, Strobel shows that miracles are not just wishful thinking or limited to the Bible, but they are credible events still breaking into our modern world. Through gripping interviews, real-life stories, and his own personal reflections, Strobel crafts a case […]

- [Off School Property ](https://baonline.org/off-school-property/): Why does it seem that wherever the government is, God can’t be? Why is it that hurting kids can’t turn to the healing power of the Bible during the school day? LifeWise Academy, a nonprofit providing Bible education to public school students during school hours, in partnership with Fathom Entertainment, the leading specialty distributor of content to theatrical partners worldwide, addresses these questions in its debut film, Off School Property: Solving the Separation of Church and State. The feature documentary, directed by Nate Lundquist, will be released nationwide on Thursday, October 23, 2025. For much of American history, the Bible was a foundational text […]
- [Herencia de Poder](https://baonline.org/es/herencia-de-poder/): Una celebración especial de la remisión del cáncer. por Lydia E. Harris Señor, tú has sido nuestro refugio generación tras generación (Salmo 90:1). Treinta familiares se reunieron en casa de mi sobrina para nuestro momento de oración familiar. Los adultos se sentaron en la sala y los niños se subieron a una escalera cercana. Durante muchos años, en algunos meses, nuestra extensa familia de hermanos, hijos y nietos se reunía para orar. Pero esta era una ocasión especial para agradecer a Dios por la salud estable de seis miembros de la familia que habían luchado contra el cáncer. Sumando los […]
- [Heritage of Power](https://baonline.org/heritage-of-power/): A special celebration of cancer remission. by Lydia E. Harris Lord, you’ve been our refuge from generation to generation (Psalm 90:1, ISV). Thirty relatives crowded into my niece’s home for our family prayer time. The adults sat in the living room, and the children perched on the stairway nearby. Every few months for many years, our extended family of siblings, children, and grandchildren had gathered to pray. But this was a special occasion to thank God for the stable health of six family members who had battled cancer. Adding up the years since the diagnoses, we now celebrate a total […]

- [Una Lección Sobre la Pesca](https://baonline.org/es/una-leccion-sobre-la-pesca/): La perseverancia de Pedro, el pescador. por Daniel Flores Una noche, Simón Pedro estaba decidido a pescar junto al lago de Genesaret, cerca de donde vivía. Así que preparó sus redes y su barca y se fue a pescar. Quizás le dijo a su esposa que estuviera lista para cocinar el pescado cuando regresara. Pedro entró al agua y echó la red por primera vez, con la esperanza de pescar. Pero la red vacía demostró que tendría que volver a echarla. Decidido, Pedro echó la red una segunda vez, y el resultado fue el mismo: ningún pez. Sin duda era […]
- [A Fishing Lesson](https://baonline.org/a-fishing-lesson/): The perseverance of Peter, the fisherman. by Daniel Flores One night, Simon Peter was determined to fish by the Lake of Gennesaret, near where he lived. So he prepared his nets and boat and went fishing. Perhaps he told his wife to be ready to cook the fish when he returned. Peter entered the water and cast the net for the first time, hoping to catch a fish. But the empty net proved he would have to cast it again. Determined, Peter cast the net a second time, and the result was the same: No fish. He no doubt was […]
- [Por Amor de Su Nombre](https://baonline.org/es/por-amor-de-su-nombre/): por Sheila Bain ¿Por qué la gente del reino necesita paciencia? ¿Cómo se manifiesta y cuál es su propósito? La paciencia puede ser difícil hoy en día. Has oído a gente burlarse de la expresión “Cristo viene pronto”.  Pedro dice que era lo mismo en su época (2 Pedro 3:4). ¿Por qué preocuparse por cómo vivir si Jesús se demora? Pero, ¿acaso nuestra fiel paciencia hasta que Cristo regrese no es por amor a Su nombre y para Su gloria? El amor al nombre se trata de la reputación — la parte de una persona que vive más allá de […]
- [For His Name’s Sake](https://baonline.org/for-his-names-sake/): by Sheila Bain Why do kingdom people need patience? What does it look like, and what is its purpose?  Patience can be difficult today. You’ve heard people mock the expression “Christ is coming soon.” Peter says it was the same in his day (2 Peter 3:4). Why be concerned about how to live if Jesus delays? But isn’t our faithful patience until Christ returns for His name’s sake and glory? Name’s sake is about reputation — the part of a person that lives beyond the grave. Scripture tells us what God does is for His name’s sake so that it’s […]
- [Un Regreso a Casa para Recordar](https://baonline.org/es/un-regreso-a-casa-para-recordar/): por Diana Derringer “Vuélvete a tu casa, y cuenta cuán grandes cosas ha hecho Dios contigo” (Lucas 8:39). “¿Quién vive aquí?” “Nosotros”, dije. “¿Cuánto tiempo llevas viviendo aquí?” “Vivimos juntos. Acuérdate, soy tu esposa”. Me miró fijamente hasta que me reconoció. “¿Cuándo podemos irnos a casa?” “Estamos en casa. Aquí es donde vivimos ahora”. Una y otra vez se lo recordaba con cariño. Mi esposo sufrió un infarto, un derrame cerebral, una caída que le provocó una lesión cerebral traumática y falta de oxígeno cuando su corazón y pulmones dejaron de funcionar el 10 de diciembre de 2009. Después de […]

Remember, I’m your wife.” He then stared until recognition crossed his face. “When can we go home?” “We are home. This is where we live now.” Over and over, I gently prodded his memory. My husband suffered a heart attack, a stroke, a fall resulting in traumatic brain injury, and a lack of oxygen when his heart and lungs stopped functioning on December […]
- [Por Qué el Amor Necesita Paciencia](https://baonline.org/es/por-que-el-amor-necesita-paciencia/): Una mirada más de cerca al Capítulo del Amor. por R. Herbert ¿Ha notado alguna vez que, en su famosa descripción de la naturaleza del amor en 1 Corintios 13:4-7, el apóstol Pablo empieza y termina su lista con la misma característica? La paciencia: “El amor es paciente . . . todo lo espera”. Aunque Pablo usa dos palabras griegas diferentes, que muestran distintos aspectos de esta importante cualidad, ambas significan paciencia. Paciencia con las personas La primera palabra es makrothymia, compuesta del griego para nuestros términos lejos e ira — en otras palabras, poner lejos la propia ira. Esto implica tener […]
- [Why Love Needs Patience](https://baonline.org/why-love-needs-patience/): A closer look at the Love Chapter. by R. Herbert Have you ever noticed that in his famous description of the nature of love in 1 Corinthians 13:4-7, the apostle Paul begins and ends his list with the same trait? It is patience: “Love is patient, . . . it . . . always perseveres.” Although Paul uses two different Greek words, showing different aspects of this important quality, they both mean patience. Patience with people The first word is makrothymia, composed of the Greek for our terms far away and anger — in other words, to put one’s anger far […]
- [El Cántico de María](https://baonline.org/es/el-cantico-de-maria/): by Laura L. Bradford Al recordar mi infancia, no recuerdo un momento en el que no tuviera una melodía resonando en mi mente. Siempre me ha gustado cantar, tararear e incluso bailar para liberar los sentimientos de mi corazón. Ya sea una canción infantil como “Estrellita, ¿dónde estás?” o el imponente “Aleluya” de Händel, de su composición El Mesías, siempre he tenido una melodía en mi mente. Después de entregar mi vida al Señor en los 70s, casi todas las melodías que me vienen a la mente son cantos de adoración. La mayoría provienen de las Escrituras, de la versión […]
- [Miriam’s Song](https://baonline.org/miriams-song/): by Laura L. Bradford Thinking back to early childhood, I can’t remember a time when I didn’t have a melody running through my head. I’ve always loved to sing, to hum, and even to dance as a way of releasing the feelings in my heart. Whether it’s a kid’s song like “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star” or Handel’s bold “Hallelujah Chorus” from his Messiah composition, a melody has always played in my mind. Following my surrender to the Lord in the 1970s, almost every tune running through my head has been a worship song. Most of them are taken from the […]

- [Un Llamado a la Paciencia](https://baonline.org/es/un-llamado-a-la-paciencia/): Por qué la paciencia es clave en la vida del creyente. por Dr. David R. Downey A la gente le gusta decir: “No pidas paciencia”. La inferencia es que Dios enviará pruebas para cultivar la paciencia, en lugar de simplemente dárnosla como un regalo. Esto suele ser cierto, pero ¿deberíamos dudar? ¿Acaso la paciencia no vale lo que paguemos por ella? Y si ofrecemos esta oración y no sucede nada importante, entonces posiblemente hayamos alcanzado un nivel de paciencia que no requiere tal prueba. ¡Eso sería un barómetro de buen comportamiento! Estoy estudiando a fondo Romanos 8:8-27 en busca de […]
- [A Plea for Patience](https://baonline.org/a-plea-for-patience/): Why patience is key in the believer’s life. by Dr. David R. Downey People are fond of saying, “Don’t pray for patience.” The inference is that God will send trials to build patience, rather than just dropping it on us as a gift. This is usually true, but should we hesitate? Is patience not worth whatever we pay for it? And if we offer this prayer and nothing major happens, then possibly we have reached a level of patience that such a trial is not necessary. That would be a barometer of good behavior! I am looking deeply into Romans […]
- [When Mercy Found Me](https://baonline.org/when-mercy-found-me/): Posted on August 29, 2025 What it’s like to move from vengeance to victory. by James Anderson* as told to Leslie Williams The summer rain pelted against my office window as I stared at the email that would change my life. My fingers hovered over the keyboard, trembling with anger as I contemplated my response. After fifteen years of building my marketing business from scratch, my closest friend and business partner had secretly been diverting clients to his own venture. The betrayal cut deep, but the timing was even worse. My wife had just been diagnosed with Stage 3 breast cancer, and our […]
- [No es Solo un Problema de “Espera”](https://baonline.org/es/no-es-solo-un-problema-de-espera/): por Stephen R. Clark “Ah, la paciencia. ¡Es una virtud!” Así lo proclama la sabiduría popular. El diccionario dice que una virtud es un comportamiento honorable. Hasta aquí, suena bien. Incluso Proverbios 19:11 vincula la paciencia y la virtud, declarando: “El buen juicio hace al hombre paciente; su gloria es pasar por alto la ofensa”. Parece que la paciencia es algo que vale la pena buscar. Sin embargo, la opinión contraria advierte: “¡No ores para tener paciencia!”. “¿Por qué no?”, preguntamos, confundidos, inclinándonos hacia adelante. “Porque”, el lado contrario de la sabiduría popular susurra, y luego declara: “¡Esa oración podría […]
- [Not Just a “Wait” Problem](https://baonline.org/not-just-a-wait-problem/): by Stephen R. Clark “Ah, patience. It’s a virtue!” So common wisdom proclaims. The dictionary says a virtue is honorable behavior. So far, it sounds good. Even Proverbs 19:11 ties patience and virtue together, declaring, “A person’s insight gives him patience, and his virtue is to overlook an offense.” It seems patience is a worthy thing to pursue. Yet, the contrarian side of common wisdom cautions, “Don’t pray for patience!” “Why not?” we ask, confused, leaning in. “Because,” the contrarian side of common wisdom whispers, then declares, “That prayer could be answered!” Wait. What? And now we are left scratching […]
- [¿Tienes Sabiduría?](https://baonline.org/es/tienes-sabiduria/): ¿Y de dónde se obtiene tal sabiduría? por Esther Zeiset Alos veintiocho años y una década después de terminar la preparatoria, sabía que estaba fuera de mi alcance cuando me matriculé en Inglés 201 en una universidad comunitaria. Pero tenía un montón de ideas de historias y artículos dado vueltas en mi cabeza y quería ampliar mi incipiente escritura a un mercado editorial cristiano más amplio. Decidí que, incluso en una clase secular, mi escritura reflejaría mi fe. Decidí que, incluso en una clase secular, mis escritos reflejarían mi fe.

But I had a slew of story and article ideas rattling around in my head and wanted to expand my fledgling writing into a larger Christian publishing market. I determined that, even in a secular class, my writing would reflect my faith. From the first night, the professor ruled his classroom with sighs, glares, and brusque commands. “In my class […]

The Portraits of Jesus series asks two simple questions: Who is Jesus, and why is He “good news”?  There’s only one Jesus. Only one gospel. But in God’s providence, He gave us the four Gospels, each proclaiming who Jesus is and why He is “good news.” This is shared from the four unique perspectives of evangelists Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.  Join us in 2026 as we examine and come to appreciate each portrait of Jesus […]

En la actualidad, con los gobiernos humanos en la tierra, vivimos en una agitación política masiva a nivel nacional e internacional. Las amenazas, tanto nacionales como internacionales, pueden ser aterradoras.

For the present time of human governments on earth, we are living in massive nationwide and worldwide political unrest. Both national and international threats can often be terrifying.

Quiero que sea fuerte en la fe, un líder en Cristo y alguien que camine en sabiduría. Pero por mucho que me preocupe por prepararme para el matrimonio, me doy cuenta de algo aún más importante: Mi más grande llamado no es prepararme para un futuro esposo, sino buscar primero el reino de Dios.

I want him to be strong in faith, a leader in Christ, and someone who walks in wisdom. But as much as I care about preparing for marriage, I realize something even more important: My greatest calling is not to prepare for a future husband but to seek God’s kingdom first. In a world where women are often told […]

Sé decidido, confía. Escucha humildemente y obedece. Pon tu mano en la Mía. Mis propósitos cumpliré. Confía y no vaciles. No te desanimes; la luz llegará.

- [David Descubre Paciencia](https://baonline.org/es/david-discovers-patience/): David observó, estupefacto, cómo su amigo Jason era acusado por otro estudiante, Bryce, de copiar en un examen. David sabía que Jason no había copiado porque habían estudiado juntos y Jason sabía todas las respuestas. Lo que David no entendía, sin embargo, era por qué Jason no se defendía delante del profesor. Se quedó allí parado mientras Bryce no paraba de hablar de cómo había visto a Jason copiando las respuestas de los exámenes de Bryce. ¡Caramba! Si alguien me hubiera acusado de algo tan horrible, créeme que me defendería con todas mis fuerzas, pensó David. Finalmente, Jason habló. “Señora […]
- [David Discovers Patience](https://baonline.org/david-discovers-patience/): David watched, dumbfounded, as his friend Jason was accused by another student, Bryce, of cheating on a test. David knew Jason hadn’t cheated because they had studied together, and Jason knew all the answers.  What David couldn’t understand, though, was why Jason didn’t defend himself in front of the teacher. He stood there as Bryce went on and on about how he had seen Jason copying answers from Bryce’s papers. Man! If someone had accused me of something so awful, you’d better believe I’d defend myself vigorously, David thought.   Finally, Jason spoke. “Mrs. Pierce, may I make a suggestion that […]
- [¿Qué quiere decir el libro de Apocalipsis con la “paciencia de los santos”?](https://baonline.org/es/what-does-the-book-of-revelation-mean-by-the-patience-of-the-saints/): La “paciencia de los santos” en la Revelación de Jesucristo (13:10; 14:12) se refiere a la firme perseverancia de los creyentes frente a las pruebas y tribulaciones. Específicamente, identifica su compromiso inquebrantable con la ley de Dios y su fe activa en Jesús. Comprender el contexto del uso que Juan hace de esta frase nos recuerda que se le encomendó esto: “Escribe las cosas que has visto, y las que son, y las que han de ser después de estas” (1:19). Más adelante, en los capítulos 13 y 14, Juan describe dos tipos de personas: los que siguen a la […]
- [What does the book of Revelation mean by the “patience of the saints”?](https://baonline.org/what-does-the-book-of-revelation-mean-by-the-patience-of-the-saints/): The “patience of the saints” in the Revelation of Jesus Christ (13:10; 14:12) refers to the steadfast perseverance of believers in the face of trials and tribulation. Specifically, it identifies their unwavering commitment to God’s law and their active faith in Jesus. Grasping the context for John’s use of the phrase reminds us he is commissioned to “Write the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and the things which will take place after this” (1:19). Later, in chapters 13 and 14, John describes two kinds of people: those who follow the beast and those who are […]

Key passages: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John For several years, “Focus on Jesus and follow His plan” has been a kind of church motto. In 2026, Bible Advocate Press is leaning into that mission. Jesus calls us to follow Him as our Savior and Lord. In 2026, we strive to study what that means and recommit ourselves to our high calling and the worship it releases. Let’s do this together!

Herbert A veces, un poco de investigación bíblica puede abrirnos nuevas perspectivas para comprender las historias del Nuevo Testamento y cómo se relacionan con nosotros hoy. Podemos hacerlo con una de las parábolas de Jesús. El sacerdote El Evangelio de Juan nos dice que cuando Jesús fue traicionado, “lo ataron y lo llevaron primeramente a Anás, que era suegro de Caifás, el sumo sacerdote aquel año” (Juan 18:12, 13). Al parecer, el apóstol Juan conocía a algunos miembros de la familia del sumo sacerdote y pudo proporcionar este detalle que […]
- [The Priest, the Plot, and the Parable](https://baonline.org/the-priest-the-plot-and-the-parable/): Another look at the rich man and Lazarus. by R. Herbert Sometimes a little biblical detective work can open new windows into our understanding of New Testament stories and how they relate to us today. We can do this in one of Jesus’ parables. The priest The Gospel of John tells us that when Jesus was betrayed, “They bound him and brought him first to Annas, who was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, the high priest that year” (John 18:12, 13). The apostle John apparently knew some of the high priest’s family and could provide this detail not found in the other Gospels. […]

Le había dicho a la entrevistadora que le daría una respuesta a la oferta de trabajo ese mismo día. Aunque sabía lo que Dios quería que dijera, sentí como si estuviera loca por tener que decirlo. El trabajo cumplía todos los requisitos en el papel: era en el campo en el que quería trabajar, con el salario que esperaba y la posibilidad de crecimiento profesional. Y, sin embargo, no me sentía tranquila. Este trabajo requeriría enseñar algunas cosas […]
- [Do the Next Thing](https://baonline.org/do-the-next-thing/): Understanding how to discern God’s will. by Kelsey Gjesdal I sat at my desk, biting my lip and staring at my phone. I’d told the interviewer I would give her an answer to the job offer that day. While I knew what the Lord wanted me to say, I felt crazy for needing to say it. The job checked all the boxes on paper: It was in the field I wanted to work in, with the pay range I hoped for, and held the possibility for career growth. And yet, I felt uneasy about it. This job would require teaching […]
- [Profundizando](https://baonline.org/es/profundizando/): Encontrando nuestro fundamento sólo en Cristo. por Caroline S. Cooper “Cualquiera, pues, que me oye estas palabras, y las hace, le compararé a un hombre prudente, que edificó su casa sobre la roca. Descendió lluvia, y vinieron ríos, y soplaron vientos, y golpearon contra aquella casa; y no cayó, porque estaba fundada sobre la roca” (Mateo 7:24, 25). Al final de Su Sermón del Monte, Jesús les cuenta a Sus discípulos y a la multitud que los rodeaba la historia de dos constructores cuyas casas se encontraron en medio de una tormenta. El destino de cada uno dependía de sus cimientos. […]

Cooper “Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock” (Matthew 7:24, 25). At the end of His Sermon on the Mount, Jesus tells His disciples and the surrounding crowds a story of two builders whose houses stood in the path of a storm. The fate of each […]
- [Serpientes y Palomas](https://baonline.org/es/serpientes-y-palomas/): Ganando sabiduría y poder para tomar las decisiones correctas. por Mark A. Lawton Ustedes han escuchado que Jesús dijo: “He aquí, yo os envío como a ovejas en medio de lobos; sed, pues, prudentes como serpientes, y sencillos como palomas” (Mateo 10:16). Ser como palomas resuena como un estándar sensato para los seguidores del Príncipe de Paz. ¿Estás de acuerdo? Sin embargo, quizá te preguntes por qué Jesús aconseja a los cristianos a ser prudentes como serpientes. Yo sí lo hice, sobre todo considerando la serpiente antigua en el Jardín del Edén. Pero la respuesta es clara: “Y guardaos de los […]
- [Serpents and Doves](https://baonline.org/serpents-and-doves/): Gaining wisdom and power to make the right choices. by Mark A. Lawton You have heard that Jesus said, “Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents and harmless as doves” (Matthew 10:16). Being like doves resonates as a sensible standard for the followers of the Prince of Peace. You would agree, right? However, you may wonder why Jesus advises Christians to be wise as serpents. I certainly did, especially considering the ancient serpent in the Garden of Eden. But the answer is clear: “But beware of men, for they will deliver you up […]
- [Somos lo Que Atesoramos](https://baonline.org/es/somos-lo-que-atesoramos/): por Stephen R. Clark La “sabiduría” popular común en las comedias románticas y las letras de las canciones es: “El corazón quiere lo que el corazón quiere”. A menudo, se utiliza para justificar comportamientos impulsivos. Aunque esto podría ser tan mundano como darse un capricho con demasiado chocolate, esta sabiduría suele estar relacionada con elecciones cuestionables en las relaciones. Esto implica que nuestros deseos brotan en nosotros de forma espontánea, incontrolable, y deben ser satisfechos. En otras palabras, no tenemos más opción que actuar según estos deseos. No seguir estas pasiones aleatorias se considera impensable porque, como saben, “el corazón […]
- [We Are What We Treasure](https://baonline.org/we-are-what-we-treasure/): by Stephen R. Clark Common pop “wisdom” found in romantic comedies and song lyrics is “The heart wants what the heart wants.” Often, it’s employed to excuse impulsive behavior. While this could be as mundane as indulging in too much chocolate, this wisdom is often related to questionable relationship choices. The implication is that our desires erupt within us unbidden, uncontrollable, and they must be answered. In other words, we have no choice but to act on these desires. Not following these random passions is considered unthinkable because, you know, “The heart wants what the heart wants.” What’s truly unthinkable […]
- [Una Persona de Prosperidad](https://baonline.org/es/una-persona-de-prosperidad/): Aprendiendo el camino de la sabiduría bíblica. por Dr. David Downey Uno de mis himnos favoritos (confieso que tengo muchos “favoritos”) es “Salvador, Como Pastor Guíanos” — en parte por su hermosa melodía en tono menor, pero sobre todo porque Jesús ha tenido un tremendo impacto en mi vida con Su tierna guía. Muchas veces he vagado por ahí, intentando ser fiel a Su liderazgo, pero sin saber qué pasos dar. Luego, en retrospectiva, pude ver que el Pastor me guiaba todo el tiempo, cerrando y abriendo puertas. Reconocí Su maestría después de dar los pasos y tomar las decisiones. […]
- [A Person of Prosperity](https://baonline.org/a-person-of-prosperity/): Learning the way of biblical wisdom. by Dr. David Downey One of my favorite hymns (I confess I have many “favorites”) is “Savior, Like a Shepherd Lead Us” — partly because of its beautiful melody in a minor key, but mostly because Jesus has had a tremendous impact on my life with His gentle leading. Many times, I have wandered about, trying to be faithful to His leadership but uncertain what steps to take. Then in hindsight, I could see that the Shepherd was guiding me all along, closing doors and opening them. I recognized His masterful artistry after the […]

Me sonrió y exclamó con entusiasmo: “¡Yo me amo!”. “¿Cómo?”, pregunté, queriendo descubrir el secreto de su amor propio. “¡Simplemente me amo!”, exclamó, como si hubiera nacido encantada consigo misma. A decir verdad, envidiaba la auto estima de Leiah y su confianza para expresarlo. Yo me encontraba en una época de mi vida en la que me sentía angustiada por muchas cosas.
