LA RESURRECCION DE LOS CREYENTES

LA RESURRECCIÓN DE LOS CREYENTES
DICIEMBRE
DIA 03
“Fíjense bien en el misterio que les voy a revelar: No todos moriremos, pero todos seremos transformados, en un instante, en un abrir y cerrar de ojos, al toque final de la trompeta. Pues sonará la trompeta y los muertos resucitarán con un cuerpo incorruptible, y nosotros seremos transformados”. 1 Corintios 15:51-52
Pablo los consuela al decir que los muertos en el Señor antes de la venida de Cristo no estarían con desventaja. Les asegura que los que “se dormían” antes de la parusia serían resucitados primero. No serían dejados como estaban. Al decir “no todos dormiremos”, el Apóstol expresa su convicción de que él, entre otros, estaría vivo todavía al regresar el Mesías. Esto implica, desde luego, que Pablo creía en el retorno inminente de Cristo. Ciertamente pensaba que volvería durante su propia existencia sobre la tierra (1 Tes. 4:17). Estén muertos o vivos, tendrían que experimentar una transformación. A los dos grupos tendría que dárseles un nuevo cuerpo espiritual. Esta acción se realizaría “en un instante, en un abrir y cerrar de ojos, a la trompeta final”. El vocablo “instante” es traducción de atomon, un espacio de tiempo tan breve que no se puede medir. Según Sánchez-Baldeón. Editorial Mundo Hispano.

Reflection of Faith
Your attitude about the Equality of Persons
James 2:1-13
The core of the message in James 2 is that our attitude towards others, especially in how we see the differences in people, is directly related to our faith and to the quality of our relationship with God. The divisions we make between people should be the same ones God makes, not the ones our culture makes.
We could be quick to judge that it is our attitude toward the poor that is at stake here, but that is not the case. It is our ability to be impartial when it comes to all "types" that is questioned (verse 9). In fact, in Leviticus 19:15, the Law says that Israel was not to "be partial to the poor OR defer to the great." The same goes for women and men, different cultures and nationalities. Very often, we humans make distinctions that are more about our personal power or comfort rather than what God sees as distinctions.
Let's face it, it is not the Earthly divisions, rich and poor, male and female, African, Indian, American, Jew, Gentile or Greek etc, that determines our standing before God. It is our relationship to Him. Our outward appearance is just God's creativity in His portrayal of His Image. We are nothing in and of ourselves; we are only anything in Him (John 15).

EL ARREBATAMIENTO DE LA IGLESIA
DICIEMBRE
DIA 04
Conversábamos en la Iglesia sobre el arrebatamiento, y examinando al Apóstol Pablo en su primera carta a Tesalónica, que él asumía que no iba todavía a morir y que los que estaban vivos, no se iban adelantar a los que ya han muerto en Cristo.
“Conforme a lo dicho por el Señor, afirmamos que nosotros, los que estemos vivos y hayamos quedado hasta la venida del Señor, de ninguna manera nos adelantaremos a los que hayan muerto. El Señor mismo descenderá del cielo con voz de mando, con voz de Arcángel y con trompeta de Dios, y los muertos en Cristo resucitarán primero. Luego los que estemos vivos, los que hayamos quedado, seremos arrebatados junto con ellos en las nubes para encontrarnos con el Señor en el aire. Y así estaremos con el Señor para siempre. Por lo tanto, anímense unos a otros con estas palabras”. 1 Tesalonicenses 4:15-18

GOD’S GREAT GIFTS
By Rev Dean Beaty 12/4/08
There are so many gifts God’s given through Jesus Christ His Son.
All are ours by faith in Him but Christ is number one.
Let me give just one short list of God’s great gifts to men.
Atonement by the Blood of Christ, forgiveness of our sin.
We worry not for those who’ve died. Their life will be restored.
“The gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”*
Though they are first to leave this earth to meet Christ in the air.
Those who are living when Christ comes will also meet Him there.

Papaw’s Christmas Gifts
By Rev. Dean Beaty 12/3/08
The four of us, Tyler, Leah, Eric, and I, Lydia all woke up early Christmas morning. We were all excited to see our gifts. We hurried to the kitchen in pj’s to get hot chocolate and marshmallows, a grandma mommy tradition. With our drinks in hand we hurried to the den. There was grandma mommies perfectly decorated tree. But what was that beside the tree? Two long pieces of fence post. Oh well, papaw was always up to some mischief and he would tell us later.
First we read the Bible Christmas story. This was always first before we opened any gifts. Then we all took turns to see what each other had gotten. Leah got a watch, Eric got a knife, Tyler got a game, and I got a new purse. Plus a lot of other stuff we really needed, like underwear and socks.
Only papaw’s four gifts were left. Mine would probably be a rubber snake. That was his idea of a joke. Well it was long and round, but it was a 10 foot piece of thick rope. That was just what I needed to tie up Eric to keep him out of my stuff. He can really get on my nerves. Leah was next with a pen and a yellowed piece of paper. At least the pen was useful. Eric got a new hatchet. That would fit him to a “T”. He was always destroying something. Tyler got a rusty nail and a hammer. But what was it all about?

As I sit here late at night, my usual time for introspection and my own little world of *me time*, I think about who I am. I have always been somebodies something, daughter, sister, wife, mother, friend. Would I ever change that? Would I ever regret it for a moment? No. I have had people tell me.."you need to be Tami, stop being what everyone esle expects you to be. What do YOU want?" I have spent years trying to figure out who and what that is..and I have come to the conclusion.... I am who I am.. I always have been... do I have issues? lol of course, who doesn't.

El TRIBUNAL DE CRISTO
DICIEMBRE
DIA 05
“Porque es necesario que todos comparezcamos ante el tribunal de Cristo, para que cada uno reciba lo que le corresponda, según lo bueno o malo que haya hecho mientras vivió en el cuerpo”. 2 Corintios 5:10
Para Pablo, la gloria vendría únicamente con la segunda venida y no como una experiencia estática. La vida presente está llena de sufrimientos y problemas y no de un glorioso éxtasis. La frase “si estamos fuera de nosotros” en el v. 13 traduce el verbo existemi1839, vinculado a su vez con el sustantivo ekstasis1611, un término algo ambiguo. Cuando llegamos a experimentarlo es un don de Dios, pero lo más importante es que es un llamamiento para servir al Señor en la vida diaria (comp. vv. 9 y 10)
Con el v.5 termina la primera sección del capítulo 5, pero no debemos dejar que termine con una nota de desesperación, sino como una transición entre 5:1–4 y 5:6, para proveer la base para la esperanza.

THE NIGHT OF JESUS’ BIRTH
By Rev. Dean Beaty 12/5/08
‘Twas the night that Christ was born two-thousand years ago.
Just a few expected Him to be born on earth below.
When the shepherds saw the angels in garments all aglow,
They hurried off to Bethlehem to see if it were so.
They found the new born babe just as the angels said.
He was wrapped in swaddling clothes and in a manger bed.
When first they saw the angels their hearts were filled with dread.
But when they saw the Christ child, the news they gladly spread.

The following was written by Ben Stein and recited by him on CBS Sunday Morning
Commentary..
My confession:
I am a Jew, and every single one of my ancestors was Jewish. And it does not bother me even a little bit when people call those beautiful lit up, bejeweled trees, Christmas trees.. I don't feel threatened. I don't feel discriminated against. That's what they are: Christmas trees.
It doesn't bother me a bit when people say, 'Merry Christmas' to me. I don't think they are slighting me or getting ready to put me in a ghetto. In fact, I kind of like it It shows that we are all brothers and sisters celebrating this happy time of year.. It doesn't bother me at all that there is a manger scene on display at a key intersection near my beach house in Malibu . If people want a crèche, it's just as fine with me as is the Menorah a few hundred yards away.

QUITO, “LUZ DE AMÉRICA”
DICIEMBRE
DIA 06
“-Yo soy la luz del mundo; el que me sigue no andará en tinieblas, sino que tendrá la luz de la vida” (Juan 8:12)
Quito capital del Ecuador, celebra sus 474 años de fundación; el 6 de Diciembre de 1534, fue fundada por Sebastián de Benalcázar, conocida como “carita de Dios", por su belleza y rica historia. Es vital recordar la importancia cívica en esta fecha y más allá de lo religioso, pensar que Dios ama a esta gente y a usted.
Quito fue ciudad sagrada que estuvo ligada a una cosmología y mitología fascinantes, y las antiguas leyendas sostienen que fue fundada por los quitumbes que se salvaron del diluvio refugiándose en las cumbres del Pichincha. Posteriormente fue embellecida por Huayna-Capac, quien la convirtió en la segunda ciudad del imperio de los Incas. Fue allí, en el mismo lugar en donde había estado la antigua capital de los quitus, donde Sebastián de Benalcázar, cumpliendo con lo dispuesto por Diego de Almagro, el 6 de Diciembre de 1534 procedió a levantar la villa de San Francisco de Quito. (Efrén Avilés. Historia del Ecuador. P44)

A couple of weeks ago our group spent the night at the house of a girl from another Master's and I slept in her sister's room by myself. On her sister's wall was a poem in a fram called Broken dreams.
Broken Dreams
As Children bring their broken toys, with tears for us to mend
I brought my broken dreams to God, because he was my friend.
But then instead of leaving Him in peace to work alone,
I hung around and tried to help with mays that were my own.
At last I snatched them back and cried "How could you be so slow?"
""My child," He said "What could I do? You never did let go."
It stuck a chord with me about my back. I have really bad back pains and they don't get better it seems. It truely has been the hardest thing to God. Not thinking that he couldn't fix it. The wondering if he will.

The Contrasts of Christ’s Coming
By Rev Dean Beaty 11/21/08
Was ever a contrast greater than that of heaven and earth?
Christ left the throne of heaven for a humble obscure birth.
His realm of splendorous wonder in His Father’s home of light,
To a stable manger in winter’s dead of night.
From wealth beyond all measure to humble poverty.
From worship by the angels to cruel indignity.
His place beside the Father as God’s beloved Son,
To die upon a rugged cross beneath the mid-day sun.

THE NIGHT BEFORE NEW YEARS
Proverbs 20:1 (KJV)
By Rev. Dean Beaty 12/5/08
‘Twas the night before New Years and all through the town,
There were parties and laughter and drinks all around.
They had made it again through another whole year.
So to celebrate life they all had some beer.
It was such a great time and they all had such fun.
When it came to the booze none had just one.
By the time mid-night came their thinking was blurred.
All were the same just like in a herd.

Confío en Dios, porque Él me amó y salvó en Cristo, porque Él creó el universo, porque así como protegió a Jeremías y liberó a Ebed-melec, pero a su pueblo disciplinó con el cautiverio por no confiar en Él, por todo esto confío en el Señor.
El funcionario Ebed-melec fue un instrumento de Dios al ayudar a Jeremías para que sea liberado de la cisterna y el hambre y con libertad consuele al pueblo que fue conquistado por Nabucodonosor quien cuidó del fiel profeta de Jehová.

I pass through vibrant green forest and bright red leaves
I graciously glide over stones in the midst of a beautiful scene
With each plummet the anger in me creates a bustling mist.
There’s an eternal struggle inside of me that’s far from welcoming
At times unapproachable, the forest life doesn’t stop beckoning
For me to slow down and enjoy God’s greatest offering
But still my journey must go, so on I pass with my currents disagreeing with my direction

AUTUMN LEAVES
Your love is like the glisten of God’s sun on my skin
Warming my soul outward to within
Never to dry but not too moist
Giving me reasons everyday to rejoice
Like the “Indian Summer”, through the season your love will last
Leaving behind the wilted flowers of my past
Your love is like the Autumn Breeze

As I sit here tonight and think about all that God has done for me, all I can do is smile.. God has taken me from the pits of hell and showed me just how great He is, because without Him, I am nothing! Even though tough times still come (and they always will) He is always there with us. 19 years ago, my daughter was born on Christmas Eve, and when I used to rock her, I would sing "Silent Night", and then when my kids were taken away from me...

I was born back in 1965 to Norman and Helen Cronmiller, I had a pretty normal childhood growing up in Dearborn. I went to Long Elementary for grades K-6. This is where I was noticed and befriended by Dr Wayne, a 6th grade teacher. When I was still in the third grade, he observed that I had a knack for science and astronomy. The principal and Dr Wayne had me doing projects with the 6th graders in the fields of science and astronomy. I also excelled in sports and chess. My mind was like a sponge. I thought there was nothing I could not learn. However it was when I advanced to O.L. Smith Jr High that I found out that there is more to school than just doing assignments. There was a type of social order to the mix (i.e. cliques) and how to fit into one. I found out that it was easier for me to go with multiple cliques; the Jocks, eggheads and burnouts. However I also played baseball and continued to practice almost every day.
