Como Encontrar Gozo: Como Crear Patrones de Vida Para una Existencia Gozosa

Resumen del Libro

Years ago, a young man we met on the streets of Europe found Christ. A few months later he stood up to testify to his newfound faith. "I've been running away from God for years," he said, "but I've discovered He has longer legs than I have!" I married the thought to these words: Sorrow would bury us Because sorrow is the undertaker. Joy is Jesus Jesus is the overtaker Who overtakes the undertaker And dresses our spirit in a garment of praise! Joy is Jesus God in Galilean cloth Touching our lives-- Offering us life! And making our hearts smile. Don't try to run away From the Lord-- Remember He has longer legs than you have! If joy is Jesus, then it follows that the better you know Him the more joy you will experience. Joy is, as someone has said, "the infallible evidence of the presence of God." So when the wind blows and the dark night begins, joy never stops being joy. Stay close, make sure there is nothing between you and your Savior, and your soul will survive the thunderclouds. Since this book focuses on joy, I though an acrostic might help us further think about joy in our own lives. J is for justification. That means God makes me "just as if I'd never sinned." Now there's a cause for joy! O is for ordinary. Ordinary people can experience joy. It is not just for the super shiny saints we see around the Christian scene. He wants everyone's soul to tap dance. Y is for young. Joy keeps our souls young. It doesn't matter how old we are in years, joy is the secret to happiness. When heaven comes down and invades our souls in the shape of Jesus, joy will not be denied. I remember sitting alone by a fire in a small cottage in England. My husband had just left for three month's work, andmy dad had been diagnosed with cancer. Our daughter had fallen off a donkey and

La Trampa de la Comparacion: Como Celebrar la Manera en Que Dios Me Ha Creado

Oh, Lord, I breathed as I sat on the platform at a meeting. "Look at that chic speaker three chairs down. Why did I wear beige? They won't be able to see me against the curtains!" I've always struggled with comparisons. I had a sister I adored and I wanted to be just like her. I had a friend with cute freckles on her nose and I wanted freckles too. I played tournament tennis and I wanted to perfect my backhand and make it look just like my Wimbledon idol. It didn't help when I became a Christian either. In fact it grew worse. I looked around at the new friends I had made and found an...

Caminemos con Jesús

With the increasing numbers of Hispanics in North America, there is a growing need to express the Christian faith in ways that are meaningful to the Latino/Hispanic community. Although there have been many attempts to do this, little has been written that defines in a systematic way a meaningful theology for North American Hispanics. In this work Goizueta challenges both traditional European and American theologies. Although Goizueta recognizes that Hispanic and Latino might be artificially imposed labels, he finds a common link in the Spanish language and a shared culture. He describes the...

Manual para ceremonias religiosas

Empujados por un movimiento pendular, fruto de una reacción en contra de los excesivos formalismos de la Iglesia de Roma y de los rituales tradicionalistas de algunas denominaciones protestantes oficiales, muchos grupos evangélicos de más reciente implantación han soslayado la necesidad de una liturgia. Pero olvidan que, entre sus múltiples funciones, el pastor ha de participar en numerosas ceremonias; bien porque los creyentes soliciten su intervención como Ministro en distintas facetas, bien en ciertas ocasiones especiales del devenir social humano. En tales circunstancias, el pastor...
