    Can You Trust Your Conscience?

    For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:23



    When a psychotherapist talks about guilt, he is usually talking about something which the Bible describes as conscience. He’s talking about the emotion which either condemns or exonerates you of your actions. But when the Bible talks about guilt, using the same term which psychotherapy uses, it is in relationship to your standing before God—not your feelings, which may reflect your culture and your understanding of right and wrong.

    Shortly before his death, Pol Pot, the Cambodian butcher of several million people, admitted that he had made some “mistakes.” However, he said, “My conscience is clear.” Scores of other criminals from gangster Alger Hiss to Hitler himself justified what they were doing by alleging to have a clear conscience, one void of any offense.

    Why does the Bible make such a clear distinction between feelings of guilt or conscience and actual guilt before God? Simply put, your conscience cannot always be trusted. For those who have a clear knowledge of right or wrong, it’s a good measure of your conduct, but for those who have grown up without a clear understanding of right or wrong, of what God expects, your conscience should not be trusted. It tells you that you’re OK when you’re actually in real trouble. This means that a person may stand guilty before God when his own conscience does not condemn him at all. And that’s a dangerous situation to find yourself in. It’s like having an instrument panel that tells you the tank is full, or, when in reality, it’s almost empty, or that you’re flying at a given altitude when in reality you’re about to crash into a mountain.

    It’s the attitude in our society—that there is no real right or wrong, nothing that is really moral or immoral apart from what you think—which has contributed to the death of conscience. How? Because the views of society today—what it deems moral or immoral—is at juxtaposition with what God says and expects. If, however, there were no God and no ultimate accountability, your personal conscience would be an acceptable barometer or guide for behavior. On the other hand, if God hasn’t changed his mind about what is moral and immoral, right or wrong, then whether you like it or not, you are responsible for your actions, and someday you will be accountable for them because your conduct as well as your choices come down on the side of guilt.

    Now, there’s a redeeming balance, though, to our guilt, and that is the grace of God—his undeserved and unmerited favor that erases your guilt and lets you stand before God forgiven and cleansed. That’s good news! And why doesn’t modern psychotherapy acknowledge that guilt can be balanced by grace? This, of course, means that it would have to acknowledge that God does exist and that our actions which they label as poor choices or mistakes are really sin.

    Would that admission be altogether bad? Ask any condemned prisoner if accepting a pardon is bad. Ask anyone who has been granted a reprieve from the ravages of cancer if it’s bad to get a new grip on life.

    No, grace is good news. It is the antidote to what’s wrong with the world today. It is the best news that was ever announced to people who know they have fallen short of God’s expectations but don’t know what to do about it. Thank God grace is greater than all our sin.

  • Hell Truth # 4
    What Does Hell Say About God?

    A few years ago, a young lady named Mary Ellen visited a church and told a traveling evangelist that although she was raised in a Christian home, she had given up on God and was, instead, practicing witchcraft.

    “I was raised in a hellfire-and-brimstone spitting church,” she told me. “They would talk about this God who would take sinners and burn them for all eternity, and that God would be happy to inflict torture upon them for as long as time would last. I thought to myself, ‘If that’s what God is really like, I’d be better off without Him.’ ”

    Because of the portrait of God painted by the church, this intelligent young woman had turned her back on the Bible and embraced paganism and devil worship!

    Mary Ellen was appalled by the idea of a “God of love” behaving as one would expect the devil to behave. Not even history’s most reviled atheistic tyrants—Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot—were as cruel to their victims as Christians accuse God of being. Mary Ellen reacted to the idea as tens of thousands of others have done—by giving up on God.

    To misunderstand hell is to misunderstand the character of God, the awfulness of sin, and the love of God for all of His children.

    It is clear that some passages in the Bible state that hellfire will burn “forever” (Revelation 14:11; 20:10). But logic alone tells us that if hell burns forever “on the breadth of the earth,” it would be impossible for God to create a new earth!

    And if God kept sinners alive to endure eternal burning, He would fail in His mission to rid the world of sin. Instead, He would perpetuate it.

    Can you imagine a new earth where, throughout eternity, you could hear the howls and screams of the wicked suffering in hell? Or what if you knew that in some corner of the universe, those whom you had loved on the earth were writhing forever in agony because of misdeeds during their relatively short lives on earth? Who could enjoy heaven knowing that loved ones or family were being tortured throughout all eternity.

    Thankfully, the Bible states that the new earth will be a place without sorrow or pain (Revelation 21:4).

    The Good News About Hell

    Some years ago in a lumber camp, a giant of a man was feared by all who knew him. Rumor had it that he had killed several people. One day he summoned a fellow worker and demanded to know if one man was telling people that nobody was burning in the fires of hell.

    “That's right,” the co-worker answered. “That's what the Bible says.”

    “Can you show me where it says that?” the burly woodsman inquired, betraying a tinge of hope in his gravelly voice. He sat in rapt attention as his Christian colleague showed him text after text from the Bible proving that God is not now torturing anybody in hell and that God will not permit anyone to burn in the lake of fire any longer than necessary.

    As they continued to study God's Word, the man whom others regarded as having a heart of stone dropped his face into his hands and began to weep. “My son died 20 years ago in a bar fight,” he finally explained. “I was told that he had gone straight to hell, where God was torturing him and would torture him forever. Ever since that time I’ve been mad with God.”

    That day, his heart was softened and his entire life transformed as he came to understand what the Bible really says about the end of the wicked.

    Understand God's Character

    Please understand that regardless of the duration of hellfire, it will be no picnic for the sinner. Although the Bible doesn’t specify exactly how long hellfire will burn, in Luke chapter 12 Jesus makes it clear that the amount of suffering endured would be in proportion to the hardness of the individual sinner’s heart. It would be pure speculation to suppose how long the fires of hell may actually burn, but we can be sure the suffering and anguish endured by the lost would be beyond our ability to describe.

    For too long the doctrine of hellfire has been little more than a tool used to cajole sinners into being saved. We are told in Scripture that we love God “because he first loved us” (1 John 4:19). Certainly people should have a healthy respect and concern about the punishment due the wicked, but only love for God can motivate them to truly surrender their hearts to a God of love.

    We can know for sure that God is not a despicable, heartless tyrant who will take His very own created beings and torture them without mercy or relief throughout all eternity. It seems incredible that while society locks child abusers in prison, so many are willing to hold God guilty of the most horrible case of child abuse ever perpetrated!

    According to Jesus, hellfire isn't even meant for human beings. It is “prepared for the devil and his angels” (Matthew 25:41). Yet because many refuse to accept Jesus’ great sacrifice for them and choose instead to follow the great enemy of souls, they must share his fate. Satan and all sinners will be destroyed, the earth will be cleansed, and “affliction shall not rise up the second time” (Nahum 1:9). Sin and sinners will be utterly destroyed, forever separated from God, the source of all life.

    The Motorway

    Several years ago in Auckland, New Zealand, an 18-year-old woman crashed her car while driving home very early in the morning. She survived the crash unscathed but was trapped in her wrecked car by her feet, unable to escape the fire that was engulfing her car.

    A delivery man, two postal workers, and an off-duty policeman came to help; but despite their best attempts, they could not free her. Eventually the heat of the flames drove them back and they had to abandon the young lady, even as she cried out to them, begging the men not to leave her to her fiery fate.

    “As we left she grabbed my arm and said, ‘Don't go; I’m going to die here.’ But we had to get out,” one of the men said later.

    The police officer was badly injured, having burned away much of the flesh on one of his hands in his desire to free the young lady. But she was hopelessly trapped in the fiery car wreck.

    Likewise, even today Jesus is doing all He can to save people from the wreckage of their sins and from the fire that will one day burn and destroy all sin. The Bible says, “He that hath the Son hath life, but he that hath not the Son of God hath not life” (1 John 5:12).

    Just as those who are lost do not possess the Son, and therefore cannot have life, those who possess Jesus Christ are assured of life everlasting. Jesus will forever bear the scars He received at Calvary in the greatest and costliest rescue attempt ever conceived.

    Unlike the hell conjured up by many teachers today, the end of sin and sinners is assured. It is not arbitrarily imposed by a God of cruelty, but is a necessary act that assures the future safety of the universe. This event will bring intense pain to the heart of Divinity but will also open the door to an assured future for all who love God.

    Ambición: Una novela - Lee Strobel
    Un asesinato rutinario entre pandillas enciende la mecha que desencadena una explosiva cadena de acontecimientos, alimentada por la ambición y el engaño en los círculos de poder de Chicago. Lee Strobel, autor de bestsellers, basándose en sus años como periodista de investigación para el Chicago Tribune, teje una apasionante historia de poder, política y sobornos que parece casi tan real como los titulares de esta mañana. Cuando un abogado corrupto es enviado por la mafia para sobornar a un juez con la esperanza de manipular el resultado de un juicio que involucra a cierto gánster, graba en secreto la conversación para protegerse. Después de que el juez corrupto se postula para un escaño vacante en el Senado de los Estados Unidos, la grabación reveladora no es el único obstáculo para su éxito político. Eric Snow, un pastor convertido en político, ha decidido usar su megaiglesia suburbana como plataforma de lanzamiento para su propia candidatura al Senado. Y Garry Strider, periodista, amenaza con revelar los secretos que ambos candidatos ocultan en una investigación que podría costarle la vida. Strobel utiliza estos tensos personajes para tejer un thriller intrincado y cautivador ambientado en una deslumbrante megaiglesia suburbana, un periódico de una gran ciudad que lucha por sobrevivir y los oscuros pasillos de la intriga política. El clímax inesperado es tan inolvidable como el asesinato a sueldo que marca la escena inicial.

    Una historia inolvidable de poder y provocación
    Sumérgete en el electrizante mundo de la corrupción, la ambición y la traición con la última y magistral creación de Lee Strobel. Basándose en sus años de periodismo de investigación en el Chicago Tribune, Strobel crea una narrativa cautivadora, llena de emoción cruda y un agudo conflicto político, que podría haber sido sacada directamente de los titulares de hoy. Esta fascinante historia comienza con un brutal asesinato entre bandas que desencadena una reacción en cadena en los pasillos del poder de Chicago, desenredando una red de engaños y rivalidades.

    Personajes Multifacéticos y Conflictos de Alto Riesgo
    Conoce al personaje central, un abogado corrupto al que la mafia encarga influir en los procedimientos legales sobornando a un juez. Pero cuando la ambición del juez lo lleva a la escena política como candidato al Senado, su sórdido pasado lo persigue, con una grabación secreta que amenaza con descarrilar sus sueños. También conocemos a Eric Snow, un pastor convertido en político, que transforma su megaiglesia en una sede de campaña y se lanza con valentía a la contienda por el escaño vacante en el Senado, armado con su propia agenda ambiciosa.

    Mientras tanto, Garry Strider, un inquebrantable reportero, indaga en sus secretos, arriesgándolo todo para sacar a la luz la verdad. A medida que estos personajes dinámicos y con defectos colisionan, las intrincadas conexiones entre una brillante megaiglesia suburbana, un periódico metropolitano en dificultades y el turbio panorama de las maquinaciones políticas tejen un misterio cautivador y lleno de suspense.

    Un clímax emocionante que no verás venir
    La tensión no podría ser mayor a medida que aumenta en una ciudad al borde del abismo. Cada giro inesperado revela nuevas e impactantes historias que mantienen al lector leyendo hasta altas horas de la noche. Repleto de acción, intriga y dilemas éticos, este libro culmina en un clímax inesperado que deja al lector sin aliento, reflexionando sobre la justicia en sus formas más complejas. Desde asesinatos por encargo hasta partidas de ajedrez político, cada momento culmina en un final inolvidable.

    La vívida narrativa de Lee Strobel te lleva a través de una montaña rusa de emociones, cuestionando la naturaleza de la ambición y la integridad en los mundos entrelazados de la fe, los medios de comunicación y la política. Prepárate para sumergirte en un libro que equilibra magistralmente la acción, el drama y la crítica social, con personajes que desafían tus perspectivas mucho después de pasar la última página.

    Ya leíste este libro Me gustaría de su comentario Puedes indicar un libro en my grupo de WhatsApp https://chat.whatsapp.com/Ln8zAyEbJFdH8zqyCVT2wK Ambición: Una novela - Lee Strobel Un asesinato rutinario entre pandillas enciende la mecha que desencadena una explosiva cadena de acontecimientos, alimentada por la ambición y el engaño en los círculos de poder de Chicago. Lee Strobel, autor de bestsellers, basándose en sus años como periodista de investigación para el Chicago Tribune, teje una apasionante historia de poder, política y sobornos que parece casi tan real como los titulares de esta mañana. Cuando un abogado corrupto es enviado por la mafia para sobornar a un juez con la esperanza de manipular el resultado de un juicio que involucra a cierto gánster, graba en secreto la conversación para protegerse. Después de que el juez corrupto se postula para un escaño vacante en el Senado de los Estados Unidos, la grabación reveladora no es el único obstáculo para su éxito político. Eric Snow, un pastor convertido en político, ha decidido usar su megaiglesia suburbana como plataforma de lanzamiento para su propia candidatura al Senado. Y Garry Strider, periodista, amenaza con revelar los secretos que ambos candidatos ocultan en una investigación que podría costarle la vida. Strobel utiliza estos tensos personajes para tejer un thriller intrincado y cautivador ambientado en una deslumbrante megaiglesia suburbana, un periódico de una gran ciudad que lucha por sobrevivir y los oscuros pasillos de la intriga política. El clímax inesperado es tan inolvidable como el asesinato a sueldo que marca la escena inicial. Una historia inolvidable de poder y provocación Sumérgete en el electrizante mundo de la corrupción, la ambición y la traición con la última y magistral creación de Lee Strobel. Basándose en sus años de periodismo de investigación en el Chicago Tribune, Strobel crea una narrativa cautivadora, llena de emoción cruda y un agudo conflicto político, que podría haber sido sacada directamente de los titulares de hoy. Esta fascinante historia comienza con un brutal asesinato entre bandas que desencadena una reacción en cadena en los pasillos del poder de Chicago, desenredando una red de engaños y rivalidades. Personajes Multifacéticos y Conflictos de Alto Riesgo Conoce al personaje central, un abogado corrupto al que la mafia encarga influir en los procedimientos legales sobornando a un juez. Pero cuando la ambición del juez lo lleva a la escena política como candidato al Senado, su sórdido pasado lo persigue, con una grabación secreta que amenaza con descarrilar sus sueños. También conocemos a Eric Snow, un pastor convertido en político, que transforma su megaiglesia en una sede de campaña y se lanza con valentía a la contienda por el escaño vacante en el Senado, armado con su propia agenda ambiciosa. Mientras tanto, Garry Strider, un inquebrantable reportero, indaga en sus secretos, arriesgándolo todo para sacar a la luz la verdad. A medida que estos personajes dinámicos y con defectos colisionan, las intrincadas conexiones entre una brillante megaiglesia suburbana, un periódico metropolitano en dificultades y el turbio panorama de las maquinaciones políticas tejen un misterio cautivador y lleno de suspense. Un clímax emocionante que no verás venir La tensión no podría ser mayor a medida que aumenta en una ciudad al borde del abismo. Cada giro inesperado revela nuevas e impactantes historias que mantienen al lector leyendo hasta altas horas de la noche. Repleto de acción, intriga y dilemas éticos, este libro culmina en un clímax inesperado que deja al lector sin aliento, reflexionando sobre la justicia en sus formas más complejas.

    Leadership positions are not for personal gain; they are a stewardship. Drawing lessons from scripture (Esther, Moses) and historical figures (Mandela vs. Pol Pot), this post examines why God-given authority must be a call to uplift, not a tool to undermine.

  • Hell Truth # 4
    What Does Hell Say About God?

    A few years ago, a young lady named Mary Ellen visited a church and told a traveling evangelist that although she was raised in a Christian home, she had given up on God and was, instead, practicing witchcraft.

    “I was raised in a hellfire-and-brimstone spitting church,” she told me. “They would talk about this God who would take sinners and burn them for all eternity, and that God would be happy to inflict torture upon them for as long as time would last. I thought to myself, ‘If that’s what God is really like, I’d be better off without Him.’ ”

    Because of the portrait of God painted by the church, this intelligent young woman had turned her back on the Bible and embraced paganism and devil worship!

    Mary Ellen was appalled by the idea of a “God of love” behaving as one would expect the devil to behave. Not even history’s most reviled atheistic tyrants—Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot—were as cruel to their victims as Christians accuse God of being. Mary Ellen reacted to the idea as tens of thousands of others have done—by giving up on God.

    To misunderstand hell is to misunderstand the character of God, the awfulness of sin, and the love of God for all of His children.

    It is clear that some passages in the Bible state that hellfire will burn “forever” (Revelation 14:11; 20:10). But logic alone tells us that if hell burns forever “on the breadth of the earth,” it would be impossible for God to create a new earth!

    And if God kept sinners alive to endure eternal burning, He would fail in His mission to rid the world of sin. Instead, He would perpetuate it.

    Can you imagine a new earth where, throughout eternity, you could hear the howls and screams of the wicked suffering in hell? Or what if you knew that in some corner of the universe, those whom you had loved on the earth were writhing forever in agony because of misdeeds during their relatively short lives on earth? Who could enjoy heaven knowing that loved ones or family were being tortured throughout all eternity.

    Thankfully, the Bible states that the new earth will be a place without sorrow or pain (Revelation 21:4).

    The Good News About Hell

    Some years ago in a lumber camp, a giant of a man was feared by all who knew him. Rumor had it that he had killed several people. One day he summoned a fellow worker and demanded to know if one man was telling people that nobody was burning in the fires of hell.

    “That's right,” the co-worker answered. “That's what the Bible says.”

    “Can you show me where it says that?” the burly woodsman inquired, betraying a tinge of hope in his gravelly voice. He sat in rapt attention as his Christian colleague showed him text after text from the Bible proving that God is not now torturing anybody in hell and that God will not permit anyone to burn in the lake of fire any longer than necessary.

    As they continued to study God's Word, the man whom others regarded as having a heart of stone dropped his face into his hands and began to weep. “My son died 20 years ago in a bar fight,” he finally explained. “I was told that he had gone straight to hell, where God was torturing him and would torture him forever. Ever since that time I’ve been mad with God.”

    That day, his heart was softened and his entire life transformed as he came to understand what the Bible really says about the end of the wicked.

    Understand God's Character

    Please understand that regardless of the duration of hellfire, it will be no picnic for the sinner. Although the Bible doesn’t specify exactly how long hellfire will burn, in Luke chapter 12 Jesus makes it clear that the amount of suffering endured would be in proportion to the hardness of the individual sinner’s heart. It would be pure speculation to suppose how long the fires of hell may actually burn, but we can be sure the suffering and anguish endured by the lost would be beyond our ability to describe.

    For too long the doctrine of hellfire has been little more than a tool used to cajole sinners into being saved. We are told in Scripture that we love God “because he first loved us” (1 John 4:19). Certainly people should have a healthy respect and concern about the punishment due the wicked, but only love for God can motivate them to truly surrender their hearts to a God of love.

    We can know for sure that God is not a despicable, heartless tyrant who will take His very own created beings and torture them without mercy or relief throughout all eternity. It seems incredible that while society locks child abusers in prison, so many are willing to hold God guilty of the most horrible case of child abuse ever perpetrated!

    According to Jesus, hellfire isn't even meant for human beings. It is “prepared for the devil and his angels” (Matthew 25:41). Yet because many refuse to accept Jesus’ great sacrifice for them and choose instead to follow the great enemy of souls, they must share his fate. Satan and all sinners will be destroyed, the earth will be cleansed, and “affliction shall not rise up the second time” (Nahum 1:9). Sin and sinners will be utterly destroyed, forever separated from God, the source of all life.

    The Motorway

    Several years ago in Auckland, New Zealand, an 18-year-old woman crashed her car while driving home very early in the morning. She survived the crash unscathed but was trapped in her wrecked car by her feet, unable to escape the fire that was engulfing her car.

    A delivery man, two postal workers, and an off-duty policeman came to help; but despite their best attempts, they could not free her. Eventually the heat of the flames drove them back and they had to abandon the young lady, even as she cried out to them, begging the men not to leave her to her fiery fate.

    “As we left she grabbed my arm and said, ‘Don't go; I’m going to die here.’ But we had to get out,” one of the men said later.

    The police officer was badly injured, having burned away much of the flesh on one of his hands in his desire to free the young lady. But she was hopelessly trapped in the fiery car wreck.

    Likewise, even today Jesus is doing all He can to save people from the wreckage of their sins and from the fire that will one day burn and destroy all sin. The Bible says, “He that hath the Son hath life, but he that hath not the Son of God hath not life” (1 John 5:12).

    Just as those who are lost do not possess the Son, and therefore cannot have life, those who possess Jesus Christ are assured of life everlasting. Jesus will forever bear the scars He received at Calvary in the greatest and costliest rescue attempt ever conceived.

    Unlike the hell conjured up by many teachers today, the end of sin and sinners is assured. It is not arbitrarily imposed by a God of cruelty, but is a necessary act that assures the future safety of the universe. This event will bring intense pain to the heart of Divinity but will also open the door to an assured future for all who love God.

    Persigue a Jesús

    «Y harán estas cosas porque no han conocido ni al Padre ni a Mí».
    JUAN 16:3

    Jesús les advirtió a los discípulos que se acercaba un tiempo en el que los líderes religiosos los maltratarían, expulsándolos de la sinagoga y persiguiéndolos. Les dijo: «Pero viene la hora cuando cualquiera que los mate pensará que así rinde un servicio a Dios» (Juan 16:2). De hecho, vemos a Saulo, que más tarde se llamaría Pablo, hacer eso mismo. Perseguía con gran fervor a los creyentes, convencido por completo de que estaba honrando al Señor. Entonces Jesús lo puso de nuevo en el camino, diciéndole: «Saulo, Saulo, ¿por qué me persigues?» (Hechos 9:4).

    Imagínate que estás tan ocupado sirviendo a Dios que pierdes completamente de vista quién es Él. Les puede pasar a los mejores y más brillantes de la iglesia. Jesús no cuestiona la sinceridad de tales acciones: reconoce que la gente lo hace porque quiere mostrarle devoción. Sin embargo, también identifica el problema de raíz: en realidad no lo conocen.

    Cuando estás tan atrapado en la religión, en tus buenos planes o en la política de la iglesia que pierdes de vista a Dios es realmente peligroso. De hecho, puedes estar frustrando su obra, persiguiendo a Jesús mismo con tus acciones. Así que asegúrate de que tu relación con el Señor es lo primero y lo más importante. Él ciertamente te dirigirá a lo que en verdad lo honra.

    Jesús, quiero conocerte de verdad y servirte fielmente. Enséñame tus caminos. Amén.

    Libres verdaderamente

    «Así que, si el Hijo los hace libres, ustedes serán realmente libres».
    JUAN 8:36

    Jesucristo es el gran emancipador. Vino a librarnos, no necesariamente de la tiranía política o militar, aunque a veces ocurra, sino de las peores garras del pecado y su destrucción eterna. Cuando abrazas a Cristo como tu Salvador y Señor, eres librado de inmediato de la pena del pecado: la muerte eterna. Pero eso es solo el principio. Cristo también vino a liberarte del poder del pecado, que aún esclaviza tus emociones, tu voluntad y tu personalidad.

    Eso se debe a que la verdadera libertad es espiritual. La opresión que experimentamos debido al pecado no se puede medicar, combatir ni legislar, porque las medidas terrenales no la afectan. En cambio, esa libertad solo puede recibirse como un don de Dios. Y eso marca la diferencia en el mundo, dondequiera que te encuentres, ya sea con autonomía política o detrás de muros de alambre de púas, en tu casa o en un campo de prisioneros, con éxito o soportando la injusticia. Nadie puede sofocar, regular o ejecutar la libertad de Cristo en ti, la cual trae la emancipación definitiva. Jesús quiere que experimentes la vida más maravillosa que puedas imaginar: la que expresa a través de ti. Así que vuelve a centrar tu búsqueda de libertad en Él y serás realmente libre.

    Jesús, gracias por hacerme verdaderamente libre. Llévame a la plenitud de tu libertad. Amén.
