On Tuesday, we will have to leave the heat of the desert and spend the rest of the week along the shore in Malibu at the Pepperdine Bible Lectureship. As the tem- perature breaks into triple figures in the desert, think of the torture we must endure with the sun shining bright and the temperature barely cresting 80 degrees. Remember us as we have the opportunity to grow and expand spiritually under the rich teaching tutelage of some of the best speakers in the brotherhood. Say a prayer for us as we shed a tear when we find a friend we haven’t seen in years and hug one another again and again. Or when we meet that new friend who is so nice and kind and uplifting that it seems we have been friends forever. Pray for us as we have to sing with 5000 Christians in glorious songs, new and old, that touch the soul and stir the heart. As we ponder over and over the great love and compassion of our God and Savior. We will have the clear evi- dence of God’s hand in the people we talk to and in the scenery we must endure including the beautiful ocean, the deer and other wildlife. God is soooooo good. Surely something must be wrong with us when we can’t get enough of Bi- ble classes and preaching so that we start early and stay late rather than coming late and leaving early. We will be so enthralled with the time we have that even the food will taste good. Perhaps it is the fellowship with people from all over the globe who are praising God and edifying one another that has caused this insanity. Whatever it is, I invite you to join us for at least one day. Fill one day with Biblical teaching and Christian Fellowship. In God, whose word I praise - in God I trust and am not afraid. What can mere mortals do to me? Psalm 56:4 Just Pondering Paul’s Ponders Aveces Pienso Jesús se encontraba en Betania, en la casa de Simón, un hombre que había tenido lepra. Mientras comía, entró una mujer con un hermoso frasco de alabastro que contenía un perfume costoso, preparado con esencias de nardo. Ella abrió el frasco y derramó el perfume sobre la cabeza de Jesús. Algunos que estaban a la mesa se indignaron. «¿Por qué desperdiciar un perfume tan costoso? —preguntaron—. ¡Podría haberse vendido por el salario de un año y el dinero dado a los pobres!». Así que la regañaron severamente. Pero Jesús respondió: «Déjenla en paz. ¿Por qué la critican por hacer algo tan bueno conmigo? Marcos14:7-8 7 A los pobres siempre los tendrán con ustedes, y podrán ayudarlos cuando quieran; pero a mí no me van a tener siempre. 8 Ella hizo lo que pudo. Ungió mi cuerpo de antemano, preparándolo para la sepultura. Les aseguro que esto que ella hizo, se recordará en todos los lugares donde se anuncien las buenas noticias de Dios.» Palabras que me conmovieron a los pobres siempre los tendrán, pero a mí no y se escucho un eco resonante dentro de mi: pero a mí no,no,no se nos olvida que no somos eternos físicamente y que día a día se acerca el tiempo de nuestra partida, porqué no ungir con una palabra de aliento de estímulo a esa persona que ofendimos, a la persona enferma física y emocional- mente, porqué no dar una esperanza a esa persona que vive cerca de ti y sufre tu ausencia, porque no decirle cuanto la quieres, porqué no ungir con bellas palabras de amor en lugar de vivir criticando.....
