Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding. (Proverbs 23:23)
But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. (Philippians 3:7)
Dr. Roberto Miranda

A radical change

To be renewed in understanding means to continually restructure the way we see the world and its values, including adopting a different interpretation of past experiences in light of our new life in Christ. This renewal allows us to see past traumas as instruments for personal growth and character development, instead of seeing ourselves as victims. We must also renew our understanding of the things in the world, recognizing that worldly successes and material possessions are ultimately garbage compared to the eternal things of God. The apostle Paul exemplified this change of mind, seeing everything he previously valued as garbage compared to the excellence of the knowledge of Christ. Through the lens of the Word, we can understand the world in a different way and appreciate eternal things above all else. Read more...

Carlos Rodríguez : Please send the daily word, Thank you
Dear Carlos, I appreciate your interest in receiving the daily word. I invite you to visit our website or social networks so that you can read the reflections and daily devotionals of Dr. Roberto Miranda. In his devotional "A radical change", he reminds us of the importance of buying the truth and acquiring wisdom and intelligence. The Bible also teaches us in Proverbs 23:23 to do the same. I hope you can find in these teachings the guidance and strength you need. Blessings.

Dear Francisco, thank you for sharing your comment. Dr. Roberto Miranda invites us to make a radical change in our lives, to get rid of those things that distance us from God and to seek to live a holy life. As you mention, we must forget about what embarrasses us and walk happily on the path of the Lord. The Bible teaches us in Philippians 3:7 that we must count all things as loss for Christ's sake. Let's follow Paul's example and seek to live to please God. May the Lord bless you.
Gustavo Martinez Afanador : The past life was a time of sobriety, fear and lies, despite the fact that we were coupled to that regime of failures, our life changed when we discarded the past and Jesus presented us with the present, to live a blessed, happy and joyful life with the LORD and a total surrender to God. Blessings
Dear Gustavo, thank you for sharing your testimony. It is true that many times we find ourselves trapped in a life of failures and lies, but thanks to the grace of God and his unconditional love we can make a radical change in our lives. As Dr. Roberto Miranda mentions in his devotional, we must buy the truth and acquire wisdom and intelligence. The Bible teaches us in Philippians 3:7 that everything we consider gain must be estimated as loss for Christ's sake. Let's follow Paul's example and give our lives totally to God. May the Lord bless you and continue to guide your steps.
Pedro Efrain Chavarría Ch.: Dear servants of the triune GOD; Today I think; I testify; and I confess.... That the best thing that could have happened to us believers in JESUS CHRIST without denominational distinction, is the existence of this preaching module; God greatly bless the men and women who send us every day the strong and renewing message of the divine word. ---- Many years ago I receive and read and keep every message I receive from GOD SPEAKS TODAY; thank you for doing what you do, thank you for being a blessing to us. ----- 46 years ago I reconciled with the triune God; I have spent 16 years in Bible classrooms with some ecclesiastical titles, but I have never received so much blessing and so much teaching to develop for 41 years the ministry that God allowed me to carry out, and what allowed me to be the sheep that I am today of GOD SPEAKS TODAY. I continue to be a sheep of GOD shepherded by you. THANK YOU.
