Eso si, salga del aeropuerto. Eso va a ser un desastre. Vayase de paseo al oeste. Lejos de San Juan y el área metro. 👌🏻
In Our Dying Hour by J.C. Ryle
The day may come when after a long fight with disease, we shall feel that medicine can do no more, and that nothing remains but to die. Friends will be standing by, unable to help us. Hearing, eyesight, even the power of praying, will be fast failing us. The world and its shadows will be melting beneath our feet. Eternity, with its realities, will be looming large before our minds.
What shall support us in that trying hour? What shall enable us to feel, ‘I fear no evil’? (Psalm 23:4.) Nothing, nothing can do it but close communion with Christ. Christ dwelling in our hearts by faith,—Christ putting His right arm under our heads,—Christ felt to be sitting by our side,—Christ can alone give us the complete victory in the last struggle.
Let us cleave to Christ more closely, love Him more heartily, live to Him more thoroughly, copy Him more exactly, confess Him more boldly, follow Him more fully. Religion like this will always bring its own reward. Worldly people may laugh at it. Weak brethren may think it extreme. But it will wear well. At even time it will bring us light. In sickness it will bring us peace. In the world to come it will give us a crown of glory that fadeth not away.
The time is short. The fashion of this world passeth away. A few more sicknesses, and all will be over. A few more funerals, and our own funeral will take place. A few more storms and tossings, and we shall be safe in harbour. We travel towards a world where there is no more sickness,—where parting, and pain, and crying, and mourning, are done with for evermore.
Heaven is becoming every year more full, and earth more empty. The friends ahead are becoming more numerous than the friends astern. ‘Yet a little time and He that shall come will come, and will not tarry.’ (Heb. 10:37.) In His presence shall be fulness of joy. Christ shall wipe away all tears from His people’s eyes. The last enemy that shall be destroyed is Death. But he shall be destroyed. Death himself shall one day die. (Rev. 20:14.)
In the meantime let us live the life of faith in the Son of God. Let us lean all our weight on Christ, and rejoice in the thought that He lives for evermore. Yes: blessed be God! Christ lives, though we may die. Christ lives, though friends and families are carried to the grave. He lives who abolished death, and brought life and immortality to light by the Gospel.
He lives who said, ‘O death, I will be thy plagues: O grave, I will be thy destruction.’ (Hos. 13:14.) He lives who will one day change our vile body, and make it like unto His glorious body. In sickness and in health, in life and in death, let us lean confidently on Him. Surely we ought to say daily with one of old, ‘Blessed be God for Jesus Christ!'
In loving memory of Charlie Kirk, a fearless patriot & man of unwavering faith who dedicated his life to America.
"It's bigger than you, I want you to remember that... It's bigger than me - you are here to make somebody else's life better, the pursuit of liberty & freedom."❤️
“Do you feel the world is broken?
We do.
Do you feel the shadows deepen?
We do.
But do you know that all the dark won't stop the light from getting through?
We do.
Do you wish that you could see it all made new?
We do.”
Ultimately the government is in control of absolutely nothing. God is in control of everything and can turn the channels of water in the king’s heart any way He wishes at any time.
Whatever befalls upon us is for our good (the Christian) and His glory. That may be judgement upon our nation or that may be mercy.
The government can’t actually do anything at all ie. laws/legistlation, “weather”, control, corruption, good things - without the allowance and even decree of God Almighty.
We who are in Christ can rest in Him and trust Him.
I see Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter and push to protect free speech as a sign of God’s mercy.
I see Donald Trump turning his head to narrowly miss an assassin’s bullet as a sign of God’s mercy.
I see the Musk-Trump interview circumventing mainstream media’s censorship tonight as a sign of God’s mercy.
I don’t know what God has planned for November 5, but I pray that He will once again show mercy by restraining some of the unprecedented evil that a Harris-Walz administration would bring on this country and allow Donald Trump to be elected as president of the United States.
If you get your theological discernment from Tucker Carlson and John Rich, you’re no different than those who interpret the book of Revelation through the lens of the morning newspaper.
Sheep shouldn’t have to beg the shepherds to shepherd.
There’s sheep everywhere begging to stop doing fluffy Bible studies, LifeWay content, rightNow media, bethel elevation and hillsong music. The sheep are tired of being exposed to wolves and want the pure meat and milk. Feed it to them.
Grateful for all the watchful shepherds out there protecting and fighting for their sheep 🥹🫶🏼
Ministers Are Not Infallible, the Bible Is by J.C. Ryle
Do not be content with saying, “I have hope, because my own minister has told me such and such things.” Seek to be able to say, “I have hope, because I find it thus and thus written in the Word of God.”
If your peace is to be solid, you must go yourself to the fountain of all truth. If your comforts are to be lasting, you must visit the well of life yourself, and draw fresh water for your own soul. Ministers may depart from the faith. The visible Church may be broken up. But he who has the Word of God written in his heart, has a foundation beneath his feet which will never fail him. Honor your minister as a faithful ambassador of Christ. Esteem him very highly in love for his work’s sake. But never forget that infallibility is not to be found in godly ministers—but in the Bible alone!
