  An offense in the church

  23 Jul. 2018

  ---

  “Woe to the world because of offenses! For offenses must come, but woe to that man by whom the offense comes!” Matthew‬ ‭18:7‬ Inasmuch as a scandal may affect a church (a group of non-converted and converted people), it will never affect the Church (those who are born of God). Notice the two “woes” in […]

  In your partner’s shadow

  28 Jun. 2018

  ---

  In marriage, you sometimes find that one outshines the other; however, it is never acceptable to purposely live in the shadow of your spouse. (Not having a voice or identity of your own). When you belittle your spouse – or even yourself, the relationship becomes unbalanced. The belittled person feels ignored, inferior and of no […]

  Have an attitude of “Enough is enough!”

  21 Jun. 2018

  ---

  Enough waiting for other people’s help. Enough complaining about life when you don’t do anything to change your situation. Enough being held hostage to the goodwill or evil of others. Enough! Confront your problems yourself! You are strong! If people deceive you, don’t be one more in the crowd: stop deceiving yourself- and others. Never […]

  Who are you to judge another’s servant?

  18 May. 2018

  ---

  How is it possible that one who has the Holy Spirit and has received an anointing from God to save others can be so callous, intolerant, cruel and merciless? Maybe you say, “No, that isn’t possible!” But I tell you that it is. This is exactly what you become when you judge someone. Regardless of […]

  Does practice lead to perfection?

  14 May. 2018

  ---

  NOT ALL PRACTICE leads to perfection. Only the practice of things fundamentally correct will lead to a good result. You can practice, with all you’ve got, the wrong things. In this case, all you will ever achieve is becoming an expert in making mistakes. In order to be successful, make sure what you are doing […]

  04 May. 2018

  ---

  It does not matter how you choose to live – if you marry or if you stay single; if you have kids or if you choose not too; if you are a vegetarian or a meat eater; if you become the CEO of your own company or if you choose to work for others. Whatever […]

  My father came to the church with a gun

  13 Apr. 2018

  ---

  In 1989, my father came to the Universal Church with a gun around his waist. He wanted to kill the pastor who had “brainwashed” me. He did not understand at the time that thanks to that “brainwashing”, I overcame the desire to die and I was able to forgive him for having cheated on my […]

  The Gap in a Relationship

  19 Mar. 2018

  ---

  Nature does not allow the existence of a gap. Therefore, when a couple becomes distant from one another, soon something or someone else moves in to fill that gap. The husband goes to the bar or finds more work to do. The wife invests everything in the life of her child or her education… getting […]

  How to pray when you don’t feel like it

  16 Mar. 2018

  ---

  Sometimes I do not feel like praying – and I am a bishop. It’s normal; the human being is very inconsistent. One day you feel you can conquer the world, the next, you don’t even want to be in it. Feelings. If we live by them, we are lost. Thank God there is an alternative: […]

  External Support to the Marriage

  03 Mar. 2018

  ---

  Every marriage can benefit from the support of others – when they are a GOOD influence and cheer for the success of the couple. Avoid being associated with biased people who always take sides and convey the idea of “You poor thing, you’ve married a very bad person.” (Many cases of cheating start like this, […]
