Know Your LimitsDennis J. De HaanDogs
are intelligent, but Charles Medley of Rockford, Illinois, had some
doubts about his dog Bullet. Whenever
Bullet heard a squirrel, a rabbit, or a person, he would take off like
a shot in the direction of that sound. It didn’t matter that he was
tied up. By

velocity, heading straight for his target. But
in an instant, his strong rope would pull taut and jerk Bullet to a
jarring, sprawling halt. That beagle never learned his limits.

Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron. —1 Timothy 4:1-2 |

El Libro a los Hebreos Propósito: Alertar, edificar y fortalecer a la iglesia (pastores, servidores, miembros e invitados) para permanecer firmes en la fe frente a las corrientes de estos postreros tiempos. INTRODUCCIÓN Amada iglesia, hermanos, servidores, pastores y amigos que nos visitan hoy: sean todos muy bienvenidos a la casa del Señor. Cuando uno viaja por una carretera sinuosa en la montaña, nota que a la orilla de los abismos hay unas estructuras fijas: las barandas de seguridad. La función de esas barandas no es arruinar el viaje ni quitar el paisaje; están ahí para salvarnos la vida si perdemos el control o nos desviamos del camino. En la carta a los Hebreos, el Espíritu Santo colocó cinco "barandas espirituales". El autor no escribió estas advertencias para destruir nuestra paz ni para infundir un temor servil, sino para proteger a la iglesia del mayor peligro espiritual: la apostasía. La apostasía rara vez ocurre de la noche a la mañana. Comienza como un enfriamie...
