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. |

La comunión bíblica (koinonía) es una participación profunda en la vida de Cristo y en la de nuestros hermanos, sustentada por el Espíritu Santo. Es natural que en cualquier comunidad, familia o congregación surjan diferencias de opinión, roces o momentos donde las personalidades chokan. La clave para vivir en una verdadera comunión no radica en la ausencia de conflictos, sino en las actitudes del corazón con las que decidimos responder ante ellos. La Palabra de Dios nos señala las herramientas indispensables: la humildad para no creernos superiores, la amabilidad para tratar al otro con dignidad, la pac...
