THE GALA LIGHTHOUSE

It’s about taking the focus off yourself and what you can do in your God time (like praying and Bible reading) and letting Him move how He wants to. Jesus said, “Come to me, all you who labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” (Matthew 11:28, NIV). When we spend time with Him, we find a place of rest.

His footsteps our pathway; what is the pathway for the believer laid out in Psalm 85? It is marvelous! To summarize— 1. The path of favor (vss. 1 and 3); In the gospel is favor. He has made known to us his salvation. Merciful and kind favor so undeserved! In His favor, all His wrath is gone toward us forever because of the cross–“You have taken away ALL your wrath and turned from Your fierce anger...

La principal razón por la que debemos confiar en Dios es que Él es digno de nuestra confianza. A diferencia de los hombres, Él nunca miente y nunca falla para cumplir con Sus promesas. "Dios no es hombre, para que mienta, Ni hijo de hombre para que se arrepienta. El dijo, ¿y no hará? Habló, ¿y no lo ejecutará?" (Números 23:19; Salmo 89:34). A diferencia de los hombres, Él tiene el poder para lleva...

No podemos confiar en alguien que no conocemos, y ese es el secreto de aprender a confiar en Dios. Cuando alguien dice, "Confía en mí," tenemos una de dos reacciones. Podemos decir, "Sí, yo confiaré en te", o podemos decir, "¿Por qué debo hacerlo?" En el caso de Dios, confiando en Él sigue naturalmente cuando entendemos por qué deberíamos hacerlo.

As Christians we are called to “be still” at times. I find it fascinating that there are several moments in scripture where Jesus is among crowds and shortly after you find him taking a time out. Time to be with the Father. In Mark 1:34 Jesus was healing diseases. In Mark 1:35, “very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where...

1Therefore, since God in his mercy has given us this new way,a we never give up. 2We reject all shameful deeds and underhanded methods. We don’t try to trick anyone or distort the word of God. We tell the truth before God, and all who are honest know this. 3If the Good News we preach is hidden behind a veil, it is hidden only from people who are perishing. 4Satan, who is the god of this world, has...

Failure, loneliness, loss, rejection, unfulfilled dreams…there’s no shortage of things to fear in life. Fear can feel like an unwelcomed, constant companion in life, paralyzing your actions, damaging your relationships and hindering your faith.

Jesucristo, tú atravesaste pueblos y villas “curando toda dolencia y toda enfermedad.” Por tu mandato, los enfermos fueron curados. Acude a nuestra ayuda hoy, en medio de la propagación global del coronavirus, para que podamos sentir tu amor curativo.

Jesus Christ, you traveled through towns and villages “curing every disease and illness.” At your command, the sick were made well. Come to our aid now, in the midst of the global spread of the coronavirus, that we may experience your healing love.

All Christians suffer. Either you have, you are, or you will — “through many tribulations we must enter the kingdom of God” (Acts 14:22). This reality is a stark reminder that we have not reached the new heavens and new earth. The New Jerusalem of no tears and no pain, of no mourning and no death, hasn’t arrived yet (Revelation 21:1, 4). But just because we experience suffering as we await the red...

The Lord promises in Psalm 147:3: "He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds." If you are hurting from past wounds, cry out to Him with your whole heart, knowing that He is the only one with the power to heal hearts.

Paul quotes Isaiah 40:13 and then makes a statement concerning all believers: “We have the mind of Christ.” Having the mind of Christ means sharing the plan, purpose, and perspective of Christ, and it is something that all believers possess. Having the mind of Christ means we understand God’s plan in the world—to bring glory to Himself, restore creation to its original splendor, and provide salvat...

Jesus starts out telling us that prayer is not a mystical mystery; rather, we can, by ourselves and without a priest, go before our Holy God and make our petitions and our heart known to Him and commune with Him. Jesus is basically showing us how to relate to Him through intimacy, emptying our will so our heart is exposed to Him as we would with any true, intimate encounter. Thus the mortar of pra...

Just like he did at the outset of creation, God can take the formless voids of our lives, give them shape, and speak light into them. There is a saying, “First things first.” Well, the first thing is God. Our passage from Genesis begins this way. It says, “In the beginning God . . .” The Bible begins with God. It begins with the account of God creating the heavens and the earth and everything in b...

Staying Attuned to God's Guidance is a Journey of Growth “But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. ... Out of this desire and growing relationship you'll get better at listening to God and knowing God's voice.

‘Prayer is the slender nerve that moves the muscle of omnipotence,’ as Charles Spurgeon famously said. When we see the problems in our society and in the church, what is our first response? As the psalmist looks out at the mess that the people of God are in and the fact that his city is in ruins, his first response is to cry out to God. The psalmist reminds God of both his power and his love, decl...

We discussed recently how to communicate with God via prayer.  Another way we can and should communicate with God is via praise.  We can offer praise to God through speaking or singing.  Praise benefits both God and us.  Praise allows us to connect with God on a deeper level.  I’d like to spend a little time sharing with you some things God has shown me about praise and specifically why it’s so im...

What does that mean to you? Living in the Power of the Holy Spirit means freedom, exhilaration, fulfillment. It is something we know, we should know, we've heard all our lives but … we don't immerse ourselves into the great possibilities available by living in the power of the Holy Spirit.

En las Escrituras, la idea de la muerte eterna se contrasta con la de la vida eterna. Los que tienen vida eterna son los que pasarán la eternidad con el Señor. Aquellos que experimentan la muerte eterna son incrédulos que pasarán la eternidad separados del Señor. La muerte eterna no es un concepto con el cual todos estén de acuerdo. Algunos piensan que los incrédulos simplemente desaparecen o son...

I’m inspired by country singer Tim McGraw’s song “Live Like You Were Dying.” In it he describes some of the exciting “bucket list” things a man did after receiving some bad news about his health. He also chose to love and forgive people more freely—speaking to them more tenderly. The song recommends that we live well, as if knowing our lives will end soon. This song reminds us that our time is lim...

"Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved; for you are my praise." The Good News: Healing goes hand in hand with thanksgiving and praise. God rewards a grateful heart. "Then he touched their eyes [of the blind men] and said, 'According to your faith let it be done to you.
