H. B. Charles on Jesus’s Longest Conversation

Jesus is the meeting place of time and eternity. He is the intersection between heaven and earth. When we, like the woman at the well, were in our sin and could not reach up, God reached down. Transcript The following is an uncorrected transcript generated by a transcription service. Before quoting in print, please check the corresponding audio for accuracy. H. B. Charles: Father, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, we ask again and afresh, that you would open our eyes that we may behold wonderful things about the Lord Jesus Christ. We pray that you would help us to lay aside all malice, deceit, envy, hypocrisy, and slander, so that, as newborn infants we may crave the pure spiritual milk of your word, and grow thereby, having tasted of your goodness.Grant me physical strength a...

5 Ways Exodus Confronts Our Secular Age

ATUALIDADES

Editors’ note: Take part in TGC’s Read the Bible initiative, where we’re encouraging Christians and churches to read together through God’s Word in a year. Exodus is epic. An underdog leader of a slave nation stands up to the world’s most powerful man. Hail, frogs, flies, and rivers of blood plague the most prosperous nation on the planet. God miraculously divides a major body of water so his people can escape their captors. That’s just the first half. No wonder Exodus has held Hollywood’s attention for a long time. Consider full-length feature films including The Ten Commandments (1956), The Prince of Egypt (1998), and more recently, Exodus: Gods and Kings (2014). While these movies get some things right, the true message of Exodus is often lost to make it more palatable for mo...

Fundraising in a Financial Crisis

ATUALIDADES

Fundraising wasn’t a problem when my wife and I prepared for the mission field in 2005. We were sent out by three generous churches, family and friends rallied around us, and, along the way, I met a professional baseball player who chased me down the aisle to hand me a $50,000 check. People were amazed that this young couple with two boys younger than 2 years old (one just born) was moving to Africa. I would confidently—on further reflection, pridefully—tell people God was going to fund our work because we were being obedient to his calling. I also learned during seminary a thing or two about raising money. To supplement my income as a youth pastor, I sold cell phones out of my computer bag (back when flip phones were the latest technology!). Fundraising and sales, of course, empl...

How to Help the Homeless in a Quarantine

ATUALIDADES

For James Winans, the message to the public about how to deal with the COVID-19 outbreak is clear, but troubling: “‘Stock up at home, stay at home, work from home’—as if everyone has a home.” As interim CEO of The Bowery Mission in New York City, Winans knows how unreachable many of these guidelines are for those in homelessness, and this poses serious dangers, not only to those he and his staff serve, but to the greater public. As the outbreak upends our daily lives, many believers likely haven’t realized how this crisis is playing out for their neighbors on the streets—or that there are ways they can help. The Reality Some reasoned that Italy’s older-than-average population made them especially vulnerable to the virus. But as Newt Gingrich pointed out in Newsweek on March 13: Am...

12 Songs to Sing During a Crisis

ATUALIDADES

For most of history, the call to love our neighbor has almost always meant drawing near to people . . . until now. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, it seems the most loving thing we can do for our neighbor is keep our distance. But that distance and isolation can breed fear as our churches attempt to navigate an unprecedented season of crisis, anxiety, and even helplessness. Most congregations have been regulated to meeting online or in small community or family groups. During this unfamiliar time, however, God has given his people a familiar gift we cannot forget—singing. Over and over again, the psalmists instruct the people of the Lord to sing in every circumstance. If listening to music is healing to the soul, then singing is like a resurrection—it brings life to dead places...

Aquele Que Habita no Esconderijo do Altíssimo

Artigos Teológicos, ATUALIDADES, Uncategorized

A declaração “Aquele que habita no esconderijo do Altíssimo à sombra do Onipotente descansará” fala das bênçãos da proteção e do cuidado divino que os crentes podem desfrutar (Salmo 91:1). O esconderijo do Altíssimo é o lugar secreto na presença do Senhor onde há comunhão íntima entre Deus e seu povo. Não conhecemos a identidade do salmista que escreveu essas palavras; nem mesmo a ocasião em que isso aconteceu. Alguns estudiosos sugerem que talvez ele estivesse atravessando dias perigosos e de dificuldades – quem sabe uma guerra. Mas seja como for, o que de fato sabemos é que ele não estava amedrontado. Ele tinha certeza de que “Aquele que habita no esconderijo do Altíssimo à sombra do Onipotente descansará”. Aquele que habita no esconderijo do Altíssimo: o que isso significa? Habitar no e...
