The Interruption of Grace

We rarely see God’s grace intricately knitted into our lives. We become frustrated in His hands, and we presume stagnation in waiting. Yet, He interrupts our plans to reveal Himself steadfast and sovereign. He interrupts our security to show us his mercy and justice. His peace will only reign in our minds and hearts if…

Running after the kingdom

On one occasion, Jesus taught about how to pray, fast, do works of righteousness, and he talked about our everyday needs and concerns. He concluded: “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.”(Matthew 6:33) Seeking the kingdom first means that prayer, the search for…

De seguro. Pues es el proceso que podemos pasar muchos en diversas situaciones en esta vida. He mencionado en la entrada inicial…

Advent Devotional: Love
