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

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.

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 |

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.
