Psalm 12:1, 7-8
Help, LORD, for no one is faithful anymore; those who are loyal have vanished from the human race.
You, LORD, will keep the needy safe and will protect us forever from the wicked, who freely strut about when what is vile is honored by the human race.
En Espanol, Salmos 12:1, 7-8

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

scripture
Job 5:9-11
The Almighty, He performs wonders that cannot be fathomed, miracles that cannot be counted.
He provides rain for the earth; he sends water on the countryside.
The lowly he sets on high, and those who mourn are lifted to safety.

The spirit of Christ is the spirit of missions. The nearer we get to Him, the more intensely missionary we become.

scripture
Isaiah 14:26-27
This is the plan determined for the whole world; this is the hand stretched out over all nations.
For the LORD Almighty has purposed, and who can thwart him? His hand is stretched out, and who can turn it back?

It boggles my mind that someone can see life breathed into a baby, watch the grass die and then come to life again, see leaves fall and watch the rebirth of a tree, or gaze on any of the majestic splendor that is this earth and not be overpowered by the presence of an Almighty God!

Matthew 6:33
Seek first His Kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
En Espanol, Mateo 6:33
quote
Here we are striving, laboring, exhausting ourselves about little things, and running here and there like ants on an anthill! And yet after a few years, we will all be gone--and another generation will take our place. Let us live for eternity! Let us seek His Kingdom and His Righteousness that can never be taken from us!

dW
scripture
Psalm 49:5-11
Why should I fear when evil days come, when wicked deceivers surround me— those who trust in their wealth and boast of their great riches?
No one can redeem the life of another or give to God a ransom for them— the ransom for a life is costly, no payment is ever enough— so that they should live on forever and not see decay.
For all can see that the wise die, that the foolish and the senseless also perish, leaving their wealth to others.
Their tombs will remain their houses forever, their dwellings for endless generations, though they had named lands after themselves.
En Espanol, Salmos 49:5-11

When wealth is lost, nothing is lost; when health is lost, something is lost; when character is lost, all is lost.

scripture
Genesis 12:1-4
The LORD had said to Abram, “Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you. I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.” So Abram went, as the LORD had told him; and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he set out from Harran.
En Espanol, Genesis 12:1-4
thought
God essentially told Abram to leave everything he knew for sure and to just get moving. ‘Don’t worry about the details. Trust Me.’ What is God going to ask of me? What is He asking of me right now? Am I going to be immediately obedient? Or am I going to miss an opportunity to partake in God’s best because I did not trust Him to be my everything? Oh God, I am a man of little faith but I want to be used by You. Help me to keep my eyes on You in a relentless pursuit of Your will in order to build Your kingdom and to bring unto You all the glory that You are so deserving of.

scripture
Exodus 27:20-21
Command the Israelites to bring you clear oil of pressed olives for the light so that the lamps may be kept burning. In the tent of meeting, outside the curtain that shields the ark of the covenant law, Aaron and his sons are to keep the lamps burning before the LORD from evening till morning. This is to be a lasting ordinance among the Israelites for the generations to come.
En Espanol, Exodo 27:20-21
roots
The aish tamid (תמיד אש) is the eternal flame that is to burn in the altar within the Jewish Tabernacle and never go out. In modern Jewish practice, the aish tamid is kept alive symbolically through daily prayer and the study of Torah.

The "wagon-wheel" is a symbol that displays an acronym of the Greek letters ΙΧΘΥΣ (Iota Chi Theta Upsilon Sigma) to the statement of Christian faith "᾿Ιησοῦς Χριστὸς Θεοῦ Υἱὸς Σωτήρ" (Iēsous Christos Theou Huios Sōtēr: "Jesus Christ, Son of God, Savior").

scripture
Isaiah 11:6-9
The wolf will live with the lamb, the leopard will lie down with the goat, the calf and the lion and the yearling together; and a little child will lead them. The cow will feed with the bear, their young will lie down together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox. The infant will play near the cobra’s den, the young child will put its hand into the viper’s nest. They will neither harm nor destroy on all my holy mountain, for the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the LORD as the waters cover the sea.

scripture
Isaiah 53:5-6
Surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering, yet we considered him punished by God, stricken by him, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed. We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to our own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all.
En Espanol, Isaías 53:5-6
quote
Whoever removes the Cross and its interpretation by the New Testament from the center, in order to replace it, for example, with the social commitment of Jesus to the oppressed as a new center, no longer stands in continuity with the apostolic faith.
