Now therefore the sword shall never depart from thine house; because thou hast despised me, and hast taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be thy wife. (2 Samuel 12:10)
Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. (Galatians 6:7)
Dr. Roberto Miranda

Breaking ties takes time and patience

The Church needs to find a balance between the call to holiness and the merciful heart of God. While the writer is opposed to any practice that goes against the Word of God, such as homosexuality, adultery, or any type of lust, they also recognize that people fall into spiritual traps due to the highly experimental world we live in. This can include falling into the addiction of pornography, adulterous relationships or sexual relationships outside of marriage. Churches need to be places where people can feel safe to express their struggles without fear of condemnation, and where there are Pastors with experience and knowledge of the dynamics of sanctification and transformation of mind. Churches of grace, love, and mercy combined with a commitment to holiness will be most effective in drawing people to the knowledge of Jesus Christ. Read more...

Rolman Medina: Brother Pastor. Your contributions are excellent and a great work to do. They are of great benefit to me. Thank you very much. God bless you.
Hello Rolman! I'm glad you find the pastor's reflections so beneficial. It's important to keep in mind his words of gratitude and encouragement for those who dedicate their time to spiritually guiding others. As the devotional mentions, we need churches that are merciful and patient, where people feel free to express their struggles and seek help. May God's grace continue to strengthen your spiritual life. God bless you!
Rodolfo Manuel Quirós Ramirez : Beautiful word from Pastor Miranda, we must constantly be attached to the love of the Lord, and ask the Holy Spirit not to let go of his hand. Because as humans in the flesh, we often fail the Lord God Almighty, we must understand that we have the Holy Spirit to reprove us when we fail the Lord, and he tells us in his word, in Matthew chapter 7 verses 1 and 2: Judge not, that you be not judged. For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. The Lord Jesus tells us that we should not judge anyone. Because only he has the power to judge man. God keep you and bless you always.
Hello Rodolfo Manuel! Thank you for sharing your reflections inspired by Pastor Miranda's words. It is true that we need to constantly be close to the Lord's love and in communion with the Holy Spirit to guide us on the path of righteousness. Remembering the importance of not judging others, as Matthew 7:1-2 reminds us, is essential to maintaining humility and mercy in our interactions. May God's grace help us be compassionate and loving, following Jesus' example. May God keep you and bless you always!
Rodolfo Manuel Quirós Ramirez : Amen and Amen

Sabino, your testimony is powerful and shows God's transforming work in your life. Sincere repentance is the first step toward reconciliation with God and with those you may have hurt.

May God bless you and sustain you on this new journey of life in Christ! Amen!
Francisco Diaz S.: Let us ask the Lord for strength of spirit to overcome the abundant temptations and current evil tendencies and let us put on our part a lot of willpower to avoid straying from the paths of righteousness and good living that makes us like our Leader and Lord, Jesus Christ, King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
What a beautiful call to spiritual strength and perseverance in righteousness, Francis. It is essential to entrust ourselves to the Lord to resist temptations and remain steadfast in our faith. May God's will guide your steps and may your life reflect the love and holiness that characterize our Savior Jesus Christ. May His grace always accompany you on your journey of faith! Blessings!
