Php 3:8  Yet indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ
Filipenses 3:8   Es ma's, todo lo consider una pe'rdida comparado con el supremo valor de conocer a Christo Jesu's, mi sen~or. Por e'l lo he perdido todo y lo consider basura con tal de ganar a Christo.
               
"All things" is a lot of things. But no matter how many translations I look at, or languages,,, It all means all. In Greek it is πᾶς – pas – pas. Or in Spanish "perdido todo". Paul is making is clear that God is better than "all" else. I say with all my breath "AMEN", until I get wifi. Then when someone is praying for a really long time it starts to move me. I put wifi over a time dedicated with looking and seeking/talking to God face to face. And that means that I don't call all things rubbish or basura.

Gen 28:19   And he called the name of that place Bethel: but the name of that city was called Luz at the first. Gen 28:20   And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If God will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and raiment to put on, Gen 28:21   So that I come again to my father's house in peace; then shall the LORD be my God: Gen 28:22   And this stone, which I have set for a pillar, shall be God's house: and of all that thou shalt give me I will surely give the tenth unto thee.           This is an example of the heart of those in the bible days that I struggle to have in these days after Christ. It's the thought of dedicating everything to God. I arrive and leave places without ever thinking about how God put me there and all the things he did there in me whilst I was there. Here we see Jacob renaming a place which translates into "house of God". And even after that...

Rev 10:9   And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey.   Apocalipsis 10:9      Me acerque' al a'ngel y le pedi que diera el rollo. E'l me dijo: "To'malo y Cometelo. Te amargara' las entran~as. Pero en la boca te sabra' dulce como la miel."                   Pastor Luis shared on this and it really spoke to me. It's a very strange passage. Eating a scroll and it turns from sweet in the mouth to bitter in the stomach. A very similar thing happens to Ezekiel in the Old Testament. It says the when the Lord spoke to him through that scroll, it was the sweetest thing he could imagine. But when he went to share it to a rejecting people, it has a feeling of wormwood. When all he wanted to do is share the word of God and...

3Jn 1:14   But I trust I shall shortly see thee, and we shall speak face to face. Peace be to thee. Our friends salute thee. Greet the friends by name.   3Jn 1:15    La paz sea contigo. Los amigos te saludan. Saluda a los amigos, a cada uno por nombre.                   This is a verse that hit me recently. As right now we are heading to school and there is going to be hundreds of kids, over a thousand actually. "Greet the friends by name" has hit me deep. There has been an emphasis on remembering names here but I didn’t know it was in the bible. I am actually writing this a couple of hours before I have to go to school. This has convicted me a lot as I haven’t had a heavy mentality to remember names. But even Paul recognizes the importance of addressing one another by their names. It brings respect and shows care to not forget them. That we actually love that person to ...
