Breath Of LifeIn his book Life After Heart Surgery, David Burke recalls his close brush with death. Lying
in his hospital bed after a second open-heart surgery, he found
himself in incredible pain, unable to draw a full breath. Feeling that he was slipping toward eternity, he prayed one last time, trusting God and thanking Him for forgiveness of his sin. David
was thinking about seeing his dad, who had died several years earlier,
when his nurse asked how he was feeling. He replied, “I’m okay now,” explaining he was ready to go to heaven and meet God. “Not on my shift, buddy!” she said.
Soon the doctors were opening his chest again and
removing two liters of fluid. That done, David began to recover.
God
fashioned our days even before we existed (Ps. 139:16),
and
we exist now only because “the
breath of the Almighty gives [us]
life” (Job 33:4). Though
we don’t know how many
breaths we have left—we can rest in
the
knowledge that He does.

En estos tiempos modernos, cuando se acerca el mes de octubre, nuestra sociedad se inunda de colores oscuros, disfraces, decoraciones tenebrosas y una festividad muy arraigada llamada Halloween. Como cristianos evangélicos, miembros de la Iglesia del Señor, muchas veces nos hacemos preguntas difíciles: ¿Es algo inofensivo? ¿Es solo una cuestión de cultura y diversión para los niños? ¿Podemos adaptarlo dependiendo del país o la sociedad? Antes de adentrarnos en nuestra postura bíblica, es necesario comprender de dónde provienen las raíces de esta celebración. Históricamente, esta práctica no nace de la Palabra de Dios ni de principios cristianos, sino de un antiguo pueblo tribal conocido como los celtas. Los celtas fueron un conjunto de pueblos tribales de origen indoeuropeo que se expan...
