“For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life” John 3:16 (New Living Translation)

At 25 I met God´s grace and the power of Jesus. I had turned the life God gave me into a waste, backed up by a bottle of alcohol. My dreams lacked of transcendence, I just wanted to get by life. Alcohol got everything out of me, and when I was really lost, it happened. I heard that there was someone with enough power to set me free me and restore me; and his name was Jesus. I invited Him into my heart and He gave a new name, saved me and cleansed me. Being my surprise that He did not called me full of shame but loved one, not waste but masterpiece.

The Oval Office of God – Luis Caccia Guerra

Only once I have been in my state Governor´s office. On that occasion I was received by the General Secretary of the Government, that is, not even by the Governor. And I remember another time later, I was received by the Governor of the Province (or State). I went to complete a procedure at the Government´s House and I crossed ways with the Governor, at the time he was going to perform his tasks. We had a brief talk..What a thrill!

Imagine being  with the president. That never happened. I could have requested a hearing, but not only would  take a long time, I then should justify that is a matter of  great importance or urgency , otherwise I will not be addressed by whoever is in running the   presidency office.

Putting your head in the lion’s mouth – Luis Caccia Guerra

Currently, at least in our country, Argentina; applies a strict prohibition regarding the use of animals in circus acts. Specifically I remember the lion tamer in a cage with a wild beast, where the “grand finale” performance was to make the lion open his mouth and the tamer would get his head inside of it.

I do not know if there were any tricks or “little secret” to get his head unscratched and be able to hear in one piece the audience’s applause after such recklessness. The truth is that in the course of history this act, more than once went wrong and some animal tamers in the circus did not come out of their lion safely. Moreover, some also lost the life before the wild rush of an animal of nearly four times the weight of the daring trainer.

Believers, who have made the choice to obey God’s call and be in any way, a blessing to others, sometimes we forget the reality that we live literally with our head inside the jaws of a lion Read the rest of this entry »

The stateliness of the clouds – Luis Caccia Guerra

 When I was a child, I liked to watch at the clouds for prolonged time, just there contemplating the clouds. Later, with my daughter I had more opportunities to continue enjoying that celestial and majestic dance. Still today, I fascinate when contemplating the immense sky created by Our Lord. decked out with their cloudy beautiful formations. The imagination overcomes its free flight and far more, this among them. Thy show off what appear: battles, faces, forms of animals, trees, ships, landscapes”. and any possible formation running trough my mind. What beauty, my Lord.!.

In the face of similar stateliness my soul bursts in commendation, as well the psalmist expressed it: “O LORD our Lord, how excellent is your name in all the earth! who have set your glory above the heavens”. (Psalm 8:1 KJ2000). Read the rest of this entry »

New life – Richy Esparza

“And just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glorious power of the Father, now we also may live new lives..” Romans 6:4 (NLT).

A sad face, a Christian looking to find himself with the death, living as if he had never met Jesus is not God’s will. Half living and having business with sin and death is not part of the new life Jesus paid for us. For those that were once condemned by sin and now saved by Jesus should be living joyful. Every person redeemed by Christ is called to live in fulfillment, with joy in their hearts and perpetual freedom.

A Christian that allows sin in his/her life is limiting the living waters Jesus paid for them. By keeping sin that person is building his/her life in a foundation of death. Read the rest of this entry »
