¡Oren por sus ministros!
Quizás en toda la historia de la iglesia no ha habido un predicador más poderoso y persuasivo que el apóstol Pablo; sin embargo, unas de las peticiones que comúnmente hacía a las iglesias era que oraran por él (Rom. 15:30; Ef. 6:19-20; Col. 4:2-4; 2Ts. 3:1-2).
Estudiando la carta a los Colosenses, vimos recientemente cómo Pablo pedía a los miembros de esta iglesia que oraran por él, no sólo para que Dios le abriera una puerta para predicar Su Palabra, sino también para que pudiera hacerlo en una forma apropiada:
“Perseverad en la oración, velando en ella con acción de gracias; orando también al mismo tiempo por nosotros, para que el Señor nos abra puerta para la palabra, a fin de dar a conocer el misterio de Cristo, por el cual también estoy preso,
para que lo manifieste como debo hablar” (Col. 4:2-4).
En otras palabras: “Oren para que yo encuentre las palabras más precisas y claras, las ilustraciones más apropiadas, los argumentos más convincentes, de tal manera que todos los que me escuchen puedan entender el mensaje. Oren para que Dios me libre del temor a los hombres, y yo pueda predicar con toda confianza y libertad, movido únicamente por el deseo de que los pecadores sean salvados”.
Eso es lo que todo predicador necesita: que las iglesias supliquen a Dios por ellos, no sólo para que Dios les abra puertas para predicar el evangelio de Cristo, sino también para que puedan aprovechar esas oportunidades predicando la Palabra con claridad y poder, para la salvación de los pecadores y la edificación de los creyentes.
Predicar con claridad no es una tarea fácil. O para ser más preciso: eso es algo que no puede hacerse sin la ayuda de la gracia de Dios. Es por eso que si queremos ver a Dios obrando en medio nuestro es imprescindible que peleemos nuestras batallas de rodillas.
Oremos, entonces, con un sentido de urgencia por aquellos que ministran la Palabra de Dios; porque si hay algo que este mundo y las iglesias necesitan, son hombres fieles que proclamen el evangelio de Cristo con claridad y poder del Espíritu Santo, respaldados por un ejército de hombres y mujeres que oran incesantemente por ellos.

Pastor, don't ignore your family?
It is amazing how many pastors spend time pastoring their congregations and fail to pastor their families. One pastor told me on the way to the airport with tears streaming down his cheeks, "I spend more time with the other children and teens in my church than I do my own children."

"Silent in the Churches"
“(33b)As in all the congregations of the saints, (34)women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the Law says. (35)If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church.” (1 Corinthians 14:33b-36)

“Patience is not a virtue we teach, admire or even desire much these days. We live in a world of instant gratification; a “just add water” generation. This is especially true in the realm of church leadership.”

Un dia como hoy: Jay E. Adams
Jay E. Adams:
N. en Estados Unidos. Realizó sus estudios en la Universidad de John Hopkins (Master en griego), en la Universidad de Missouri (Ph.D.); en el Seminario Reformado Episcopal (B.D.), en Temple University School of Practical Theology (S.T.M.).

Jay E. Adams: Datos Biográphicos: Jay E. Adams (30 de enero, 1929-)
N. en Estados Unidos. Realizó sus estudios en la Universidad de John Hopkins (Master en griego), en la Universidad de Missouri (Ph.D.); en el Seminario Reformado Episcopal (B.D.), en Temple University School of Practical Theology (S.T.M.). Cursó estudios de graduado en Pittsburgh-Xenia Theological Seminary y en Eli Lilly Fellowship de la Universidad de Illinois, bajo la dirección del Dr. O. Hobart Mowrer.
Fue pastor en diversas iglesias en Pennsylvania y Nueva Jersey, con la Iglesia Presbiteriana Reformada y la Iglesia Presbiteriana Ortodoxa. Fue profesor de teología práctica y directo de Estudios Avanzados en el Westminster Theological Seminary (California). Decano del Instituto de Estudios Pastorales en la Fundación Cristiana de Orientación y Educación (Laverock, Pennsylvania). En 1991 dejó su puesto en el Seminario Westminster para, junto a su yerno, dedicarse a la predicación y fundación de iglesias en Carolina del Sur.
Influenciado, primero, por los escritos del profesor de psicología O. Hobart Mowrer (autor de Crisis en Psiquiatría y Religión y El nuevo grupo de terapia), que desafían la existencia misma de la psiquiatría institucionalizada y los falsos dogmas de la psiquiatría moderna, fue a estudiar, después, y trabajar con él. A. aprendió la necesidad del énfasis psicológico en la responsabilidad personal: que los problemas del “paciente” son morales, no médicos. “Llegué a casa sientiéndome profundamente deudor a Mowrer por llevarme de manera indirecta a la conclusión que yo, como ministro cristiano, hubiera debido haber mantenido desde el principio, esto es, que muchos de los “enfermos mentales” son personas que pueden ser ayudados por el ministerio de la Palabra de Dios” (Capacitado para orientar, p. 21). En la misma línea está el psiquiatra cristiano suizo Paul Tournier (v.).
A. denuncia la naturaleza de las técnicas freudianas y rogerianas y defiende lo que él denomina la orientación noutética (del griego nouteteo: amonestar, advertir, instruir).
En 1991 dejó su cátedra en el Westminster Theological Seminary, para hacer obra pionera de fundación de iglesias en Carolina del Sur, junto a su yerno.

we are totally dependent on incessant connectivity?
Before Thursday night, my computer had not been shut down for over two weeks. I think it appreciated the last 70-or-so hours in hibernation. I know I appreciated being disconnected from it, though I did spoil anything resembling a technology fast by pulling my iPhone out of my pocket every five minutes.
Yes, I have a problem. But a lot of Americans, especially from my generation, do. We’re not so much addicted to technology as we are totally dependent on incessant connectivity.

Christianity: More Like a Day Off?
Christianity: More Like a Day Off?: 
Last fall, I took my first sabbatical in 15 years of ministry. Initially, I had no idea what to do. So I called a pastor friend and asked how I could be productive during the time off.
Ironic. A productive sabbatical! Obviously, if I was trying to make rest productive, I had a very practical problem with the whole idea of sabbatical.
I had spent my entire pastorate working six-day, eighty-hour weeks. I had no category for rest. . . until the Lord led me to Hebrews 4:10—
As I read this familiar passage, I thought, “Christianity is more like a day off than a day at the office.”
Then came another insight—from Jack Miller to a Ugandan missionary:
Here was my problem: I was living as if Christianity was a day at the office. Instead of hearing Jesus say “It is finished” and putting all my “doing” down, I was looking to my work as my salvation. But with a renewed realization of the gospel of grace—that Christianity is a day off—I was able to turn from my subtle works-righteousness to rest in Christ.
