During
a recent college football season, University of Texas quarterback Colt
McCoy began every post-game interview by thanking God for the
opportunity to play. When he was injured early in the national
championship game, he was forced to watch from the sidelines as his
team lost. |

After the game, he told a television reporter, "I'd have given everything I have to be out there with my team.... I always give God the glory, I never question why things happen the way they do. God is in control of my life and I know that if nothing else, I'm standing on the Rock." |
| I
have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the
faith. — 2 Timothy 4:7 |
The apostle Paul experienced God’s deliverance many times, but he didn’t insist on things going his way. From prison in Rome he wrote to Timothy: “I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure is at hand” (2 Tim. 4:6). Some might say that Paul had failed to accomplish his goals and that his life was ending in defeat. But he saw it differently: “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith” (v.7). He looked forward to an eternal crown (v.8). As we walk with God, we can praise Him for His faithfulness—win or lose. I
can always count on God, my heavenly Father,
For He changes not; He always is the same. Yesterday, today, forever, He is faithful, And I know He loves me, praise His holy name! —Felten In
every change He faithful will remain. —Katharina von Schlegel

VERSICULO CLAVE : “Cristo nos libertó para que vivamos en libertad. Por lo tanto, manténganse firmes y no se sometan nuevamente al yugo de esclavitud.” (Gálatas 5:1) 1. La Verdadera Libertad: Libertad "PARA" La libertad en Cristo no es la ausencia de reglas, sino la presencia de un propósito. No es solo ser libre de algo (pecado, pasado, culpa), sino ser libre para algo (amar, servir, crecer). Es una liberación interna: Se trata de sanar el corazón para que ya no esté encadenado a vicios o traumas. Se basa en la Verdad: Jesús dijo: "Y conoceréis la verdad, y la verdad os hará libres" (Juan 8:32). La libertad cristiana nace de entender quiénes somos en Dios. Tiene límites protectores: Imagina un pez; es libre dentro del agua. Si el pez pide "libertad" para caminar en la tierra, muere. La libertad bíblica funciona dentro del diseño de Dios. 2. El Espejismo del Libertinaje: Libertad "DE" El libertinaje es la distorsión de la libertad. Es la...
