1Co 13:4  Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant

1Co 13:5  or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful;

1Co 13:6  it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth.

1Co 13:7  Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

1Co 13:8  Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away.

 

1Co 13:4   El amor es paciente, es bondadoso. El amor no tiene envidia; el amor no es jactancioso, no es arrogante.

5    No se porta indecorosamente; no busca lo suyo, no se irrita, no toma en cuenta el mal recibido.

6    El amor no se regocija de la injusticia, sino que se alegra con la verdad.

7    Todo lo sufre, todo lo cree, todo lo espera, todo lo soporta.

8    El amor nunca deja de ser. Pero si hay dones de profeci'a, se acabara'n, si hay lenguas, cesara'n; si hay conocimiento, se acabara'.

 

                For me this is about the most convicting passage of the bible ever. It gives me an idea of what I should be, but I'm not. I laugh when I say "Anthony is patient, Anthony is kind". But the sad part is that is my goal but I am not. And the worst part is this, on my short time on earth I will NEVER be able to obtain the standard that love had set for me. But God knows this. He knows I'm not patient or kind and all the rest. But I don't think he cares at all. He still chose me to be his ambassador on this earth to point others to our Christ. And that’s the power of God's grace. He takes a sinner like me, places me into a country I've never been to, nor speak the language, surrounded by brothers and sisters in the same boat as me who have never known each other before, to show the Love of God to the people of Guatemala. And I can't do it. But God.

Mar 16:19   So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. Mar 16:20   And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.                     Today I was focusing on the resurrection of Christ. And the importance of it. Neil was speaking on it and it really hit me something. If the resurrection isn't portrayed than an all powerful God isn't portrayed. God said he will bruise the heel of the serpent (I believe is referencing satan) and that comes in the form of the resurrection. It's the , "even if you kill me I'll still come back. There is NOTHING you can do to beat me. And on top of everything I will use the people I died for to do my work as I command them." It's the biggest spiritual slap to face in the history of ever. Jesus gave satan...

Heb 3:12   Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. Heb 3:12     Tengan cuidado, hermanos, no sea que en alguno de ustedes haya un corazo'n malo de incredulidad, para apartarse del Dios vivo.                   There's something that Jeremy said that comes to mind. If sin is ten feet away, you still wouldn't be sinning if you walked up 9 feet. You still have room. But only one foot. And the closer you get to sin the more intense the temptation becomes and more excuses come up. You could say, "it's just one more foot." And at that point a gust of wind could blow you over into sin. Rather run away from the ten foot line and make in 20, then 30, then 40 and so on. If we still have evil in our hearts of disbelief than it's like tiptoeing on the line of sin. Just barely not into sin. But at that point if a fly lan...

1Pe 4:7   But the end of all things is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers.   1 Pedro 4:7    Ya se acerca el fin de todas las cosas. Asi' que, para orar bien, mante'nganse sobrios y con la mente despejada.                   This could be my last 5 seconds. But those 5 seconds just passed but the message I take from this is that I should never expect to live on for a long time. Live each day like it's my last. That doesn't mean be irresponsible but be zealous and have a fire that yearns for people to come to Christ right now. No body is guaranteed any time on this earth.   Lives are being lost not having been shown the love of Christ and no one has any promises of living to see the next day and does that hit my heart? I struggle to think that the sun has no guarantee to rise in the morning because I've seen it happen over and over again. I have n...
