THE GALA LIGHTHOUSE

You know, a lot of people think that God begins to love them when they begin to love God, and that's not true. The Bible says he loved us before we were ever born. He loved us before the world was ever born. And his love is unconditional, his love is eternal. The interesting thing about knowing God is to realize that God has always loved us, and it's just the most wonderful thing when we discover...

“God is faithful (reliable, trustworthy, and therefore ever true to His promise, and He can depend on); by Him, you were called into companionship and participation with His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.”

My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth. indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. the LORD will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore. Psalm 121

By making some one happy as we pass along life's way, We bring a bit of heaven to the longest, darkest day; The world is full of shadows, full of sorrow, grief and woe, And snares are set before us ev'rywhere we go. Chorus: A little human kindness brings a bit of heaven near, A little human kindness drives away our fear; A little human kindness makes the souls of men akin, And brings the joy of vi...

The adequacy of Jesus Christ to deal with our helplessness is indisputable. He is able to save to the uttermost all who come to God by Him. This was the purpose of His coming: “Thou shalt call His Name Jesus, for He shall save His people from their sins.” The adequacy of Christ to deal with our helplessness is something that is basically surely true. If He cannot save you from your temper, what ki...

Que el Dios de la esperanza los llene de toda alegría y paz a ustedes que creen en él, para que rebosen de esperanza por el poder del Espíritu Santo. Romanos 15:13

Es importante que oremos por los demás, porque Jesucristo nos ha ordenado que lo hagamos. Jesús ordena que oremos, no solo por nuestra familia, amigos y compañeros creyentes, sino también por nuestros enemigos (Mateo 5:44; Lucas 6:28). Al orar por los demás, estamos imitando a Jesucristo, quien intercede con Dios Padre en nuestro nombre (Romanos 8:34; Juan 17: 9), así como el Espíritu de Dios que...

La experiencia más triste en la vida de un cristiano es estar bajo el poder del pecado. El pecado en la vida del cristiano tiene tres resultados terribles: TRAE DESHONRA al nombre del Señor Jesucristo. Si tú eres cristiano, representas al Señor Jesús. Cuando cedes al pecado, traes deshonra a Su nombre. TE ROBA tu gozo y tu poder. Mientras que cedas al pecado, Dios no te usará. DESTRUYE tu testimon...

Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth! Serve the Lord with gladness!” (Psalm 100:1–2). Sometimes I just get so amazed. People will say, “I don’t think you should be talking about the pursuit of joy. I think you should be talking about serving Jesus and obeying Jesus.” I say, “What Bible do you read?” “Serve the Lord with gladness!” Serve the Lord with gladness! 

Our past has changed, because, in God's eyes, we have no past, only a great future. In Jeremiah 29:11, He says: "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Do you know God through the free pardon of your sins in Jesus

If you believe the proclamation of forgiveness of sins in Jesus' name and blood,(absolution) preached to you by believer (a person who has Holy Spirit), then you have your sins forgiven in Heaven also and then you are a believer, so then you can be sure you have Jesus in your heart.

The act of caring for another is so powerful because it creates deeper bonds as individuals lean on each other for emotional support. ... It also teaches important virtues such as patience, understanding and loyalty that benefit individuals in both their personal and professional lives.

And the reason I say “essence” is because I know there are other emotions besides joy that are important components of corporate and individual worship. For example, the sorrows of confession of sin. “Weep you people with dirty hands,” James says. He commands them to weep! It’s not a command to rejoice. So I know that other emotions are necessary to a full orbed experience of worship — especially...

Prayer is meant to be a way of life for Christians, a way of talking to God and listening for His voice with the ears of the heart. As a result, there are prayers for every occasion, from a simple salvation prayer to deeper devotionals that help facilitate and strengthen one's spiritual journey.

 But now you must also rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips. 9 Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices Colossians 3:8-9

“Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from your presence, and take not your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and uphold me with a willing spirit” (vv. 10–12)

Jesus the one and only Faithful, true and holy He's the Son of righteousness Worthy of the glory Jesus Christ, the one and only Let every voice in earth and heaven offer praise And every heart become His holy hiding place Let every knee bow down And every tongue confess the name Of Jehovah's only Son, the risen One

The phrase "Armor of God" is derived from Ephesians 6:11: "Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil." (King James Version). ... Pieces of Armor belt. breastplate. footwear. shield. helmet. sword.

Temor a las nuevas experiencias ¿Has dejado de hacer cosas por miedo? ¿Estás postergando algo sólo porque no te atreves? Si la respuesta es afirmativa, entonces es que sabes lo que es el miedo a lo desconocido, la emoción de detenerse y esconderse, porque no sabes qué puede pasar, con qué obstáculos te vas a encontrar o cómo vas a salir parado de una situación.

Yo estoy entre vosotros como el que sirve” (Lucas 22:27). Como verdaderos discípulos de Jesús, nosotros también debemos servir a los demás. El servicio es prestar asistencia a quienes necesitan ayuda.

Mantengamos firme la profesión de nuestra esperanza sin vacilar, porque fiel es el que prometio Hebreos 10:23

En todos los momentos de decisión en la vida - cuando las exigencias del trabajo y la vida de las familias fracturadas amenazan con desarraigar muestra paz - buscamos la sencillez. la soledad, un lugar para relajarnos.

Confederate and Federal—once enemies, now friends receiving their tribute of respect.” 

You are not alone. Do you ever feel like you are the only one who is going through your struggle? Everywhere you look everyone is doing great, and you suffer in silence as you struggle with sin or someone being cruel to you. The Bible is very clear that you are not alone. Jesus suffered everything that the rest of us have. He can empathize with us because he has gone through it too. Don’t let Sata...
