Terrifying MomentsBen AyalaWhen our first
child was born, my wife, Marlene, was in labor for more than 30 hours,
creating tremendous stress for both her and the baby. The
doctor, a fill-in for her regular physician, was unfamiliar with her
and her pregnancy. As
a result, he waited too long to make the decision to perform an
emergency Caesarean section, and the resulting trauma put our infant
son in the neo-natal intensive care unit. There was nothing they could do to help our baby to overcome his trauma-induced condition. By God’s grace, Matt recovered—but I cannot remember any moment in my life as terrifying as when I stood by his crib in intensive care.Yet I knew the Lord was near as I talked with Him through prayer.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. —Psalm 23:4 |
When
fear is overwhelming, the Lord is there. His
comforting presence will
carry us through our deepest trials. When
peace, like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll— Whatever my lot, Thou has taught me to say, “It is well, it is well with my soul.” —Spafford |

Pasaje Central: Juan 14:6 — "Jesús le dijo: Yo soy el camino, y la verdad, y la vida; nadie viene al Padre, sino por mí." Amada iglesia, hoy vivimos en un mundo repleto de filosofías, ideologías, dogmas y corrientes de pensamiento. Si salimos a las calles, encontraremos personas que dicen que Dios no existe, otras que adoran a miles de divinidades, algunas que profesan seguir a Jesús pero han distorsionado quién es Él, y muchas más que confían en sus propias buenas obras para llegar al cielo. Sin embargo, la Palabra de Dios es categórica y no deja lugar a la ambigüedad: la salvación no se encuentra en un sistema humano, no se compra con méritos, ni se alcanza a través de falsas doctrinas. La salvación es una obra exclusiva de Dios por gracia, a través de la fe en Jesucristo. Hoy examinaré a la luz de las Escrituras por qué ninguna de estas corrientes puede salvar al ser humano y por qué solo Cristo es el Salvador del mundo. I. LA FOLLÍA DEL ATEÍSMO Y EL SECULARISMO Comencemos...
