Felipe Massa of Brazil should have won the Formula One Grand Prix in Singapore. But as he drove off from a refueling stop while in the lead, the fuel hose was still attached. By the time his team removed the hose, he had lost so much time that he finished 13th. |

No one engaged in warfare entangles himself with the affairs of this life. — 2 Timothy 2:4 |
There
are many attractive things in our world that are so easy to get
entangled with—hobbies, sports, TV, computer games. These may start off
as “refueling” activities, but later they can take up so much of our
time and thought that they interfere with the purpose for which God
created us: to share the good news of Christ, serve Him with our gifts,
and bring glory to Him.
Paul told Timothy why he ought not be entangled with this world’s affairs: So that he could “please Him” (v.4). If your desire is to please the Lord Jesus, you will want to stay untangled from the world. As John reminds us, “The world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever” (1 John 2:17).
Although
we live in this world,
we must declare our allegiance to heaven. |

Dios pone orden en medio del caos Cita Bíblica (Génesis 1:1–3): "En el principio creó Dios los cielos y la tierra. Y la tierra estaba desordenada y vacía, y las tinieblas estaban sobre la faz del abismo, y el Espíritu de Dios se movía sobre la faz de las aguas. Y dijo Dios: Sea la luz; y fue la luz." Ejemplo Bíblico: Dios no destruyó la tierra vacía; pronunció su Palabra y fue separando la luz de las tinieblas y el agua de la tierra seca hasta dejar un mundo hermoso. Ejemplo Práctico para Hoy: Pensemos en un terreno cubierto de maleza, piedras y charcos. A simple vista parece inservible, pero el agricultor no lo abandona: lo limpia, lo ara y lo prepara. Hoy en día, hay familias donde hay pleitos, deudas o tristeza en el co...
