ACTS 20:2 NKJV
Después de haber recorrido aquella región y haberlos animado con muchas palabras, llegó a Grecia.

Explicación

Este versículo resume un extenso período de ministerio pastoral. Tras dejar Éfeso, Pablo viaja por Macedonia, visitando iglesias y fortaleciendo a los creyentes mediante el ánimo y la enseñanza constantes. La frase «los animó con muchas palabras» apunta a una exhortación deliberada y continua, más que a una instrucción breve. Lucas luego menciona la llegada de Pablo a Grecia, lo que demuestra que el ánimo y la misión van de la mano. Pablo no pasa de largo a la gente en su camino a nuevos territorios; invierte profundamente en los creyentes ya establecidos para asegurar su estabilidad, madurez y perseverancia.

Aplicación:

El crecimiento espiritual se nutre mediante el ánimo y la enseñanza constantes. Los creyentes están llamados no solo a avanzar en la misión, sino también a fortalecerse mutuamente con palabras intencionadas que edifiquen la fe y la perseverancia.

  • The sad truth is that children today are often exposed to explicit content as young as 10 years old, sometimes even earlier. Media and devices become their default educators.

    Why The White Man Rules

    I had to slow down while reading this one because the argument the author makes is definitely not an easy one to take in. Why The White Man Rules: An Apology takes a very specific position and builds the entire discussion around one question: why has the White man come to dominate so much of the modern world? The author’s answer is rooted almost entirely in his interpretation of the Bible and God’s promises.What caught my attention is that the word “apology” doesn't mean what I first assumed it would. The author spends time explaining that he is using the word in the older sense of a defense or justification, rather than an admission of wrongdoing. He is very direct about that purpose, stating that the book “defends the domination of the world by the White man.”The book then takes the reader through Scripture, particularly the promises made to Israel, and tries to connect those biblical promises to the United States and the British Commonwealth. The author argues that these nations represent the fulfillment of promises concerning a “Great Nation” and a “Commonwealth of Nations.”I found the most interesting part to be how consistently the author brings everything back to God's faithfulness to His promises. Whether you agree with his interpretation or not, you can see exactly what he is trying to establish. The later chapters shift toward faith, redemption, and Christ, presenting these ideas as the second major thread running through the book.This isn't a book I'd describe as casual reading. It makes some very strong claims, and I imagine readers will have very different reactions depending on their own religious and historical perspectives. But I appreciated that the author doesn't hide his central argument or soften it to make it more comfortable. He wants the reader to wrestle with his interpretation of Scripture and history.

  • Thanks for connecting, Tume!

    My wife and I are semi-retired after 40 years in missionary service. Now we're in our 80s and living on a tight budget so we can't travel abroad and be sure if we should help others financially, but we're not finished yet! Pray with us daily at 7 a.m. U.S. Eastern time: go to https://agape-biblia.org/Morning-Prayers.htm – "Morning Prayers and Readings".

    We also offer *free* online courses for ministry to the disabled and elderly – go to https://agape-restoration-society.org/curriculum – to train people for ministering to "the poor, maimed, blind, and lame" so you can build wheelchair-accessible housing for them – https://agape-restoration-society.org/build.htm - check it out!

    Thanks again!
