Choosing to do justice
I believe that Micah 6:8 is one of the clearest verses in the Bible concerning exactly what God expects of us. All we are required to do, depending on the translation you read, is to act justly, love mercy and humbly walk with God. It’s simple, right? However, I don’t believe this is actually a question […]
Building community, building peace
I recall a piece of paper I held onto for years. This was before memes became popular on the internet, but it had the same feel, only it was in print, instead of on a screen. It was a line drawing of two birds sitting on a tree branch, with snowflakes falling all around. The text […]
Liberados
14 Porque todos los que son guiados por el Espíritu de Dios, los tales son hijos de Dios. 15 Pues ustedes no han recibido un espíritu de esclavitud para volver otra vez al temor, sino que han recibido un espíritude adopción como hijos, por el cual clamamos: «¡Abba, Padre!». ?

Set free
? 14 For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God. 15 For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you received a spirit of adoption. When we cry, "Abba! Father!" Photos by ?? and Tim Hüfner on Unsplash. Graphic design by Cynthia Friesen Coyle.
Rutina diaria
?11 Pónganse toda la armadura de Dios para que puedan hacer frente a las artimañas del diablo. 12 Porque nuestra lucha no es contra seres humanos, sino contra poderes, contra autoridades, contra potestades que dominan este mundo de tinieblas, contra fuerzas espirituales malignas en las regiones celestiales. 13 Por lo tanto, pónganse toda la armadura de Dios, para que cuando […]
Morning routine
11 put on the whole armor of God, so that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil, 12 for our struggle is not against blood and flesh but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers of this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take up the […]
Da vida
51 Yo soy el pan vivo que bajó del cielo. Si alguno come de este pan, vivirá para siempre. Este pan es mi carne y lo daré para que el mundo viva. 52 Los judíos comenzaron a disputar acaloradamente entre sí: «¿Cómo puede este darnos a comer su carne?». 53 Les aseguro afirmó Jesús que, si no comen la carne […]
Life-giving
51 I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats of this bread will live forever, and the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh." 52 The Jews then disputed among themselves, saying, "How can this man give us his flesh to eat?"53 So Jesus said to them, […]
Hable la verdad
?25 Por lo tanto, dejando la mentira, hable cada uno a su prójimo con la verdad, porque todos somos miembros de un mismo cuerpo. 26 «Si se enojan, no pequen». No permitan que el enojo les dure hasta la puesta del sol 27 ni den cabida al diablo. Fotografía de Tim Mossholder en Unsplash. Diseño gráfico de Cynthia Friesen Coyle.
Speak the truth
25 So then, putting away falsehood, let each of you speak the truth with your neighbor, for we are members of one another. 26 Be angry but do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, 27 and do not make room for the devil.?

Sé tolerante con otras personas en amor
