It would be impossible to overstate the cultural significance of Dante’s Divina Commedia (the Divine Comedy), so we won’t even try; suffice it to say that the work has had a profound influence on subsequent authors, painters, sculptors, poets, and filmmakers – even modern graffiti artists and video-game designers. The...

LIMA - PERÚ SÁBADO 06 DE MAYO DEL 2017 MENSAJE # 1737 MEDITACIONES VARIAS Ezequiel 18:20. "El hijo no llevará el pecado del padre, ni el padre llevará el pecado del hijo". === El sentido de la justicia en Dios se caracteriza por darle a cada cual lo que le corresponde. === Siempre que nos toca escuchar el canto fatalista de quienes sienten que no merecen pasar por las aflicciones que pasan, y que están bajo una injusta aflicción divina, nos sentimos obligados a interrogar a otros al respecto: "¿Quién pecó, éste o sus padres para que haya nacido ciego?", fue la interrogante que hicieron los apóstoles a Jesús; ¿No leyeron nunca al profeta Ezequiel? === La marcada tendencia de la psicología contemporánea es el aliviar la mente de sus pacientes argumentando que la culpa de sus actuales padecimientos tienen directa relación con sus predecesores, y que ellos son las víctimas propiciatorias de los males causados por sus ancestros. === Jamás se menciona el hecho del pecado, tildando a éste como una nefasta influencia religiosa desfasada, y carente actualmente de defensores o sólidos exponentes. La "teoría"del pecado es inaceptable en este siglo de las luces. Acto seguido se recomienda una terapia de grupo, algunas tabletas calmantes, o un tratamiento prolongado con terapias de choque; dada la severidad de la "enfermedad", de pronóstico reservado. === Aunque admitir la presencia del pecado sería una señal de madurez científica, esto obigaría a esta ciencia a dar marca atrás sobre muchas afirmaciones categóricas de las que se han derivado otras tantas. === ¿Cuántas veces las afirmaciones absolutas del ayer han sido el ridículo de las de hoy? === Es necesario devolverle al ser humano su responsabilidad como tal. Ellos son creación divina, y Dios tiene la solución final. EFRAÍN ARTURO CHÁVEZ ESPARTA 06/05/2017 MENSAJE # 1737.

Under Nehemiah’s supervision, the Israelite workers were rebuilding the wall around Jerusalem. When they were nearly half finished, however, they learned that their enemies were plotting to attack Jerusalem. This news demoralized the already exhausted workers. Nehemiah had to do something. First, he prayed and posted numerous guards in strategic places. Then, he armed his workers. “Those who carried materials did their work with one hand and held a weapon in the other, and each of the builders wore his sword at his side as he worked” (Neh. 4:17-18). We who are building God’s kingdom need to arm ourselves against the attack of our spiritual enemy, Satan. Our protection is the sword of the Spirit, which is God’s Word. Memorizing Scripture and meditating on it enables us to “take [our] stand against the devil’s schemes” (Eph. 6:11). If we think that working for God doesn’t matter, we should turn to the promise that what we do for Jesus will last for eternity (1 Cor. 3:11-15). If we fear we’ve sinned too greatly for God to use us, we must remember we’ve been forgiven by the power of Jesus’ blood (Matt. 26:28). And if we’re worried we might fail if we try to serve God, we can recall that Jesus said we will bear fruit if we abide in Him (John 15:5). God’s Word is our divine defense!

We’re recapping the Inferno. Read along! This week: a swarm of snakes and a sinner with a sense of privacy. Let’s begin by addressing the fact that these similes are getting out of hand. In the early parts of his poem, Dante’s similes were often only three lines long. Now—just as he did in the beginning […]
