Spiritual Growth Love

Reconocer la sabiduría del amor en cada uno de nosotros es un modo de aceptar la realidad divina que nos constituye. Todos somos sabios a nuestro modo y dentro del saber del amor es donde conocemos nuestra esencia. Nadie nos puede responder a la pregunta de qué somos, salvo nuestro corazón por medio de la sabiduría que habita en él. Esa sabiduría no procede del mundo sino del cielo.

The world around us is in a constant state of reinvention, from technology, to careers, to family. It's easy to struggle in the midst of change, and each season brings new challenges. But we need reinvention: the kind that leads us to new fulfillment and our calling in Christ. To reinvent ourselves in Christ means a transformation in our hearts, souls, bodies, and minds. And we can achieve this by biblically exploring and answering the questions: What do you want? What do you have? What will you do? and Why will you do it?

Jesús ama a las personas - a todas las personas: las prostitutas, los drogadictos, los abusadores y a ti. Esta profunda verdad está en el corazón mismo del Evangelio.

We don’t need a list of disciplines. We need a healer, a deliverer to come and set us free. Kevin Butcher points us toward this healing Jesus, who offers us his all-encompassing love.

But what if the solution is not an "either-or?"

Because it defines human existence, love is one of art's favorite subjects. Timeless Love: Poems, Stories, and Letters celebrates the mysterious nature of love and passion by bringing together classic works by beloved writers through the ages.

Forming deep relationships with God and with others is the most important aspect of mortal life, and yet one of the most vexing problems many face during their time on this Earth is the lack of love - the inability to receive and give love as the savior did.
