Gentlemen, start your engines!!! This weekend, January 26th and 27th is the annual Men’s Seminar to be held here, at the building, on Friday and Saturday. We start at 6:00 Friday night with dinner. Brother Jefferson Walling is the guest speaker. Jeff has spoken for us several times before. He always does a masterful job. The theme for the weekend is “Unity.” With whom are we united? How can we be united if we don’t converse? How can we converse if we don’t see one another? Perhaps it would be a good idea to invite friends from other churches to join us. Bring a friend, but let an elder know so that they can plan on the need for food.
1 Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, 2 then make my joy com-plete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind. 3 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, 4 not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others. Philippians 2:1-4
Just Pondering
Paul’s Ponders
Aveces Pienso
Hechos 9:5 Como saber la voluntad De Dios, existen dos mágicas preguntas que quizás todos deberíamos de aprender y estas son: ¿quién eres Señor?, y una vez que sabemos de El ¿dime que quieres que yo haga?. Y siempre dispuestos: heme aquí Señor, estoy presto a tu servicio. Déjame compartir contigo esta historia: Saulo de Tarso estaba furioso y amenaza-ba con matar a todos los seguidores del Señor Jesús. Por eso fue a pedirle al jefe de los sacer-dotes unas cartas con un permiso especial. Quería ir a la ciudad de Damasco y sacar de las sinagogas a todos los que siguieran las enseñanzas de Jesús, para llevarlos presos a la cárcel de Jerusalén. Ya estaba Saulo por llegar a Damasco cuando, de pronto, desde el cielo lo rodeó un gran resplandor, como de un rayo. Saulo cayó al suelo, y escucho una voz que le decía: —¡Saulo, Saulo! ¿Por qué me persigues? 5—¿Quién eres, Señor? —preguntó Saulo. —Yo soy Jesús —respondió la voz—. Es a mí a quien estás persiguiendo. Pero levántate y entra en la ciudad, que allí sabrás lo que tienes que hacer.
Los hombres que iban con Saulo se quedaron muy asustados, pues oyeron la voz, pero no vieron a nadie. Por fin, Saulo se puso de pie pero, aunque tenía los ojos abiertos, no podía ver nada. Entonces lo tomaron de la mano y lo llevaron a la ciudad de Damasco. Allí Saulo estuvo
ciego durante tres días, y no quiso comer ni beber nada. En Damasco vivía un seguidor de Jesús llamado Ananías. En una visión que tuvo, oyó que el Señor Jesús lo llamaba: —
¡Ananías! ¡Ananías! Heme aquí Señor, —Señor, aquí estoy —respondió. Y el Señor le dijo: —Levántate y ve a la Calle Recta. En la casa de Judas, busca a un hombre de la ciudad de Tar-
so. Se llama Saulo, y está orando allí. Yo le he mostrado que un hombre, llamado Ananías, llegará a poner sus manos sobre él, para que pueda ver de nuevo. Dos preguntas una respuesta,
Heme aquí Señor, que quieres que haga.
Yo soy tu hermano Gilberto......
