ministerial

Pr Marcos Alessandro

Hace exactamente un año, entre huracán y huracán, tuve la oportunidad de llevar una conferencia sobre la inclusión de un código de ética ministerial en las redes informáticas en el reglamento de las Iglesias Bautistas de Puerto Rico. Tuve la bendición de colaborar en su redacción, la cual tomó un par de años.

Las Iglesias Bautistas de Puerto Rico han dado un paso al frente, de forma novel, en un terreno que puede ser elástico y amorfo. Ciertamente, deben sentir orgullo en trabajar el tema y traerlo a la discusión como parte de un nuevo perfil pastoral del tiempo presente. Espero que este episodio despierte el diálogo en distintas congregaciones y que aporte a un tema tan desafiante.

We look at the aftermath of highschooler Jessica Ahlquist's First Amendment victory in Rhode Island. After winning a lawsuit to have a prayer banner removed from a public high school, Ms. Ahlquist has received threats and harassment--even local florists refuse to deliver flowers to her house!

The Supreme Court has supported the concept of "ministerial exception," ruling that religious organizations may hire or fire "ministers" for any reason, even if the reason would otherwise violate laws such as the Americans with Disabilities Act. Consider it fair warning that if you accept a job with a religious organizations, you could be checking your civil rights at the door.

Also discussed:

The new documentary Ayn Rand and the Prophecy of Atlas Shrugged, now in very limited release.

The 2003 documentary Touching the Void, about mountaineer (and atheist) Joe Simpson's hair-raising story of survival in the Peruvian Andes.

Holey Scripture! If Tim Tebow's 316-passing-yard victory over the Steelers points to John 3:16, what verse does his 136-passing-yard loss to the Patriots point to? True believers probably don't want to know.

Speaking of John 3:16, Crosshairs, er, Focus on the Family has a new TV ad that's running during football games. Where it's more annoying than effective, we may never know.

The Supreme Court refuses to hear two cases relating to prayer at government meetings, letting stand lower court rulings.

We're reading God's Jury: The Inquisition and the Making of the Modern World by Cullen Murphy, and Wanted Women: The Lives of Ayaan Hirsi Ali and Aafia Siddiqui by Deborah Scroggins.

2 Corinthians 13:5

Paul delivers a very simple but yet profound message on the need for us as Christians to remain in a close personal relationship with Jesus Christ.  What does it mean to walk with Jesus?  How do we as Christians walk with Jesus?  Paul endeavours with the help of God to provide many thought provoking answers to these questions and more.  May the Lord bless you as you listen/watch this rich sermon.

This sermon was preached at the 2016 Wolverhampton CMFI Fellowship Day.

2 Chronicles 18

Jim brings a very needful word about the absolute need to put ourselves in the place where we can hear from God.  This is a very heart stirring message that places the responsibility firmly in our lap.  What is the state and condition of our hearts?  Are we in the place where we can hear from God?

This sermon was preached at the 2016 Wolverhampton CMFI Fellowship Day.

El propósito de Mujeres en Desafío es lograr que la mujer cumpla el propósito de Dios en su vida.

Deseamos alcanzar nuestras metas y sueños con éxito. El logro nos da satisfacción y mayor motivación.

Hoy nos enfocaremos en los desafíos que enfrentamos como mujeres en nuestro objetivo de metas personales, profesionales y ministeriales. Partiendo de la idea de que la meta en la carrera de nuestra vida, esta llena de retos y desafíos.

La Mujer y sus Desafios en su rol de Madre

Los Desafíos y Limitaciones en su llamado Ministerial


La vida te puede enfrentar a grandes desafíos en el camino, te puede desmotivar en la continuidad de lo que deseas; pero debes enfocar en las posibilidades y no en los obstáculos o limitaciones. Cuanto mas grande es tu aspiración al éxito, mayor es el desafío.
