THE GALA LIGHTHOUSE

What is the perfect love of God? His love is wide enough, long enough, deep enough, and high enough to reach and save every single person who will call on the name of Jesus. “For You, Lord, are kind and ready to forgive, rich in faithful love to all who call on You” Psalm 86:5, 

“To the person who pleases Him, God gives wisdom, knowledge and happiness, but to the sinner he gives the task of gathering and storing up wealth to hand it over to the one who pleases God. ... But His happiness with you will be life-long.

How can you know that Jesus is near if you can’t see him? This is a hard concept for anyone to really accept, but it is true and it is what you will want your children to understand a bit better once this devotional is finished.

God has called us to a joyful and victorious life in Him. While there’s no formula that delivers the ultimate faith-filled life, He has given us ways to daily strengthen our faith. Activities like talking with Him in prayer, reading the Bible, and serving Him and others lead us one step at a time into a deeper relationship. In God at the Center: Habits for Spiritual Growth, Luis Palau outlines cle...

Si quieres tener una relación cercana con Dios, es importante que le agradezcas por las bendiciones que recibes. Esta acción puede ser tan simple como acordarte de darle las gracias cuando te sientas bien o disfrutes activamente una bendición. Sin embargo, también debes buscar formas de estar agradecido con Dios aunque los tiempos sean difíciles. Además, puedes mostrarle que valoras sus bendicione...

Ser agradecido es esencial para apreciar y disfrutar plenamente la vida. Agradecer lo que somos, lo que hemos conseguido, lo que tenemos, las personas que nos rodea, etc. Nos hace vivir en armonía con nuestro entorno y con un alto grado de bienestar.

Are you thankful no matter what? Perhaps you have lost your job recently, as the economy has continued to struggle. Or you may have lost your health, or a loved one. Such circumstances can be tremendously difficult. But even so, we all have much to be thankful for. Look with me at the story of a man who had every right to be bitter—but wasn’t. The next footsteps in the corridor, he knew, might be...

As a Christian worker or believer, you need to know that you should work not for yourself but for the owner and Lord of your life and of all that you have. If you really understand the full meaning of this truth, it will revolutionize your life and ministry. And without a doubt it will change your way of thinking and living.

We can apply Psalm 84:4 with a simple mantra. Praise God in the midst of trouble. Praising the Lord always is how we learn to be still during difficult times

Gratitude is a warm feeling of thankfulness towards the world, or towards specific individuals. The person who feels gratitude is thankful for what they have, and does not constantly seek more.

We believe in one living and true God who is the Creator of heaven and earth; who is eternal, almighty, unchangeable, infinitely powerful, wise, just and holy. We believe that the one God eternally exists in three Persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit; and that these three are one God, co-equal and co-eternal, having precisely the same nature and attributes, and worthy of precisely the...

Rather, God is in some third kind of relation to time. One in-between position is that God is not within our time, but he is within his own time. In this view, God's inner life is sequential and, therefore, temporal, but his relation to our temporal sequence is “all at once.” In a sense, God has his own time line.

Revelation 13:8, NIV: "All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast--all whose names have not been written in the Lamb's book of life, the Lamb who was slain from the creation of the world."

“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.” “Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.”

This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith. Who is it that overcomes the world? Only he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God. This is the one who came by water and blood--Jesus Christ.

In the third petition of the Lord’s prayer, Jesus instructs us to pray for God’s will to be done. This request flows from the petition for God’s kingdom to come, for the Lord’s kingdom is present where we find righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit (Rom. 14:17). Such fruits are possible only as we do the will of God.

One reason we know God hears our prayers is because He has promised to hear them! Even if He doesn’t always answer the way we think He should, He still hears us. The Psalmist declared, “As for me, I call to God … and he hears my voice” (Psalm 55:16-17). Why then, does God sometimes seem deaf to our prayers? One reason may be because we’ve allowed sin to take root in our hearts—and sin always cuts...

COMO ORAR

La mayoría de nosotros estamos acostumbrados a trabajar por un sueldo. Nos pagan por un trabajo terminado, y hay una bonificación cuando el esfuerzo supera las expectativas. Es comprensible, entonces, que muchas personas crean que la salvación depende de nuestras acciones. Los Diez Mandamientos muestran la norma de Dios para la santidad, pero aparte de Jesús nadie los ha obedecido perfectamente. D...

El Regalo de la Libertad

I have called upon You, for You will hear me, O God; incline Your ear to me, and hear my speech. You may or may not have heard that God hears our prayers. It’s true. In this verse God is asked to incline His ear and to hear the speech of the psalmist. Calling upon God is an act of dependence upon Him out of sense of need. What we are actually doing when we call upon God is saying we are dependent...

Ask any Christian what the most difficult part of his or her faith is, and that Christian will likely say “Prayer.” This Christian concurs. It feels more productive and important to be doing … something … anything with my hands. Besides cleaning toilets, literally any task seems more worthwhile than having what feels like a one-sided conversation. What I forget is that prayer is not a one-sided co...
