Alcanzando a la joven Cosecha

Durante los años de escuela superior, los jóvenes buscan tener un sentido de pertenencia y comunidad. En esta búsqueda, se tornan hacia tres lugares: hacia sí mismos, hacia Dios y hacia otros en su mundo. En cierto grado, ellos encuentran comunidad en algún grupo de jóvenes de su edad y semejantes, y también pueden encontrar comunidad y un sentido de …

Edificando un Altar en el Hogar

En medio de toda esta plática en los círculos cristianos sobre cómo los jóvenes adultos están perdiendo su fe, me siento conmovida a hacer la siguiente pregunta: ¿Qué es lo que hace que un joven continúe sirviendo a Dios mientras otros se alejan o rechazan la fe? Y en un sentido aun más personal, ¿qué me hizo a mí permanecer en la fe …

Atteindre la jeune moisson

Pendant les années de lycée, les étudiants recherchent le sentiment d’appartenance et la communauté. Dans leur recherche de l’appartenance, ils se tournent vers trois endroits: entre eux-mêmes, à Dieu et aux autres dans leur monde. Dans une certaine mesure, ils trouvent une communauté au sein de leur groupe de jeunes parmi leurs pairs, et, dans la mesure où la congrégation de …

Le Poids Du Monde

Lorsque je l’ai vue pour la première fois, l’image de la couverture de notre publication de ce mois, elle a réellement attiré mon attention. N’est-il pas beau? Le nouveau-né est merveilleusement inconscient de son environnement, bercé dans des mains aimantes. J’ai deux nouveau-nés jumeaux à la maison, ainsi je peux témoigner qu’à part les pleures, un bébé qui dort est joli …

Participants were present from through Zambia, Botswana, Malawi, Swaziland, and South Africa. There is no better moment for Africa than this—where the whole continent is engaged in a debate …

Be Revolutionary: Do Better

In the 2009 reboot of Star Trek, a troubled young James T. Kirk is challenged by a Starfleet Captain concerning his direction in life. “Your father was captain of a Starship for 12 minutes,” the captain tells him. “He saved 800 lives, including your mother’s and yours. I dare you to do better.” Every generation …

Affirming the Role of Overseers

According to 1 Timothy 3:1, “If anyone aspires to the office of overseer, he desires a noble task.” The Word of God declares the work of an overseer “a noble task.” And I agree. Overseers keep the Church of God of Prophecy running. They are key to shaping the vision of the Church, even its …

Belonging to the Body of Christ

“Now you are the body of Christ, and members in particular” (1 Corinthians 12:27). As a small boy our Pentecostal church was at the center of my life. My father was a bishop in the Church of God of Prophecy as long as I can remember and most of the Christians I knew went to …
