Que esta lectura sea &#250;til para salvaguardar nuestras mentes y matrimonios mientras buscamos vivir seg&#250;n los santos mandamientos de Dios en un mundo que se rebela en&#233;rgicamente contra ellos. En el Nuevo Testamento leemos sobre la correcci&#243;n de Pablo con respecto a la degeneraci&#243;n de los servicios de adoraci&#243;n en Corinto. El abuso del don de &#171;lenguas&#187; (es decir, lenguas) en el contexto corintio deber&#237;a ser obvio si lo comparamos con lo que vimos en las tres ocasiones en el libro de los Hechos. Para comprender mejor este abuso hist&#243;rico (y moderno), v&#233;ase mi serie de cinco partes sobre este pasaje titulada &#171;Untwisting the Tongues&#187; (Desentra&#241;ando las lenguas), que se puede encontrar en el sitio web de Focal Point Radio.</p><p>-Pastor Mike</p><p>Lectura del Dia</p><p>Proverbios 5-6 en el Antiguo Testamento</p><p><a href="https://www.bible.com/es/audio-bible/103/PRO.5.NBLA"><span>Para oir la palabra de Dios oprima aqui</span></a></p><p>Y</p><p>1Corintios 14 en el Nuevo Testamento</p><p><a href="https://www.bible.com/es/audio-bible/103/1CO.14.NBLA"><span>Para oir la palabra de Dios oprima aqui</span></a></p><h1><strong>PROVERBIOS 5</strong></h1><p><em><strong>Advertencias sobre la mujer extra&#241;a</strong></em></p><p>1Hijo m&#237;o, presta atenci&#243;n a mi sabidur&#237;a,</p><p>Inclina tu o&#237;do a mi prudencia,</p><p>2Para que guardes la discreci&#243;n</p><p>Y tus labios conserven el conocimiento.</p><p>3Porque los labios de la extra&#241;a destilan miel,</p><p>Y su lengua es m&#225;s suave que el aceite;</p><p>4Pero al final es amarga como el ajenjo,</p><p>Aguda como espada de dos filos.</p><p>5Sus pies descienden a la muerte,</p><p><span>Sus pasos </span><em>solo</em><span> logran el Seol.</span></p><p>6No considera la senda de la vida;</p><p><span>Sus senderos son inestables, </span><em>y</em><span> no </span><em>lo</em><span> sabe.</span></p><p><span>7&#182;Ahora pues, hijos </span><em>m&#237;os,</em><span> esc&#250;chenme,</span></p><p>Y no se aparten de las palabras de mi boca.</p><p>8Aleja de la extra&#241;a tu camino,</p><p>Y no te acerques a la puerta de su casa;</p><p>9No sea que des tu vigor a otros</p><p>Y tus a&#241;os al cruel;</p><p>10No sea que se sacien los extra&#241;os de tus bienes</p><p><span>Y tu esfuerzo </span><em>vaya</em><span> a casa del extranjero;</span></p><p>11Y al final te lamentes,</p><p>Cuando tu carne y tu cuerpo se hayan consumido,</p><p>12Y digas: &#171;&#161;C&#243;mo he aborrecido la instrucci&#243;n,</p><p>Y mi coraz&#243;n ha despreciado la correcci&#243;n!</p><p>13-&#187;No he escuchado la voz de mis maestros,</p><p>Ni he inclinado mi o&#237;do a mis instructores.</p><p>14-&#187;He estado a punto de completa ruina</p><p>En medio de la asamblea y la congregaci&#243;n&#187;.</p><p>15&#182;Bebe agua de tu cisterna</p><p>Y agua fresca de tu pozo.</p><p>16&#191;Se derramar&#225;n por fuera tus manantiales,</p><p><em>Tus</em><span> arroyos de aguas por las calles?</span></p><p>17Sean para ti solo,</p><p>Y no para los extra&#241;os contigo.</p><p>18Sea bendita tu fuente,</p><p>Y regoc&#237;jate con la mujer de tu juventud,</p><p>19Amante cierva y graciosa gacela;</p><p>Que sus senos te satisfagan en todo tiempo,</p><p>Su amor te embriague para siempre.</p><p>20&#191;Por qu&#233;

pero tambi&#233;n deseen ardientemente </span><em>los dones</em><span> espirituales, sobre todo que profeticen. 2Porque el que habla en lenguas no habla a los hombres, sino a Dios, pues nadie </span><em>lo</em><span> entiende, sino que en </span><em>su</em><span> esp&#237;ritu habla misterios. 3Pero el que profetiza habla a los hombres para edificaci&#243;n, exhortaci&#243;n y consolaci&#243;n.</span></p><p><span>4El que habla en lenguas, a s&#237; mismo se edifica, pero el que profetiza edifica a la iglesia. 5Yo quisiera que todos hablaran en lenguas, pero </span><em>a&#250;n</em><span> m&#225;s, que profetizaran. Porque el que profetiza es superior al que habla en lenguas, a menos de que </span><em>las</em><span> interprete para que la iglesia reciba edificaci&#243;n.</span></p><p>6Ahora bien, hermanos, si yo voy a ustedes hablando en lenguas, &#191;de qu&#233; provecho les ser&#233; a menos de que les hable por medio de revelaci&#243;n, o de conocimiento, o de profec&#237;a, o de ense&#241;anza? 7Aun las cosas inanimadas, como la flauta o el arpa, al producir un sonido, si no dan con distinci&#243;n los sonidos, &#191;c&#243;mo se sabr&#225; lo que se toca en la flauta o en el arpa? 8Porque si la trompeta da un sonido incierto, &#191;qui&#233;n se preparar&#225; para la batalla?</p><p>9As&#237; tambi&#233;n ustedes, a menos de que con la boca pronuncien palabras inteligibles, &#191;c&#243;mo se sabr&#225; lo que dicen? Pues hablar&#225;n al aire. 10Hay, quiz&#225;s, muchas variedades de idiomas en el mundo, y ninguno carece de significado. 11Pues si yo no s&#233; el significado de las palabras, ser&#233; para el que habla un extranjero, y el que habla ser&#225; un extranjero para m&#237;.</p><p><span>12As&#237; tambi&#233;n ustedes, puesto que anhelan </span><em>dones</em><span> espirituales, procuren abundar </span><em>en ellos</em><span> para la edificaci&#243;n de la iglesia. 13Por tanto, el que habla en lenguas, pida en oraci&#243;n para que pueda interpretar. 14Porque si yo oro en lenguas, mi esp&#237;ritu ora, pero mi entendimiento queda sin fruto.</span></p><p><span>15Entonces &#191;qu&#233;? Orar&#233; con el esp&#237;ritu, pero tambi&#233;n orar&#233; con el entendimiento. Cantar&#233; con el esp&#237;ritu, pero tambi&#233;n cantar&#233; con el entendimiento. 16De otra manera, si bendices </span><em>solo</em><span> en el esp&#237;ritu, &#191;c&#243;mo dir&#225; el &#171;Am&#233;n&#187; a tu acci&#243;n de gracias el que ocupa el lugar del que no tiene </span><em>ese</em><span> don, puesto que no sabe lo que dices? 17Porque t&#250;, bien das gracias, pero el otro no es edificado.</span></p><p>18Doy gracias a Dios porque hablo en lenguas m&#225;s que todos ustedes. 19Sin embargo, en la iglesia prefiero hablar cinco palabras con mi entendimiento, para instruir tambi&#233;n a otros, antes que diez mil palabras en lenguas.</p><p>20Hermanos, no sean ni&#241;os en la manera de pensar. M&#225;s bien, sean ni&#241;os en la malicia, pero en la manera de pensar sean maduros.</p><h1>English Standard Version</h1><p>Pastor&#8217;s Note:</p><p><span>Today the Proverbs address the perennial temptations that confront every generation. May this reading be helpful in safeguarding our minds and marriages as we seek to live by God&#8217;s holy commandments in a world that forcefully rebels against them. In the New Testament we read of Paul&#8217;s corrective regarding the degeneration of the worship services in Corinth. The abuse of the gift of &#8220;languages&#8221; (i.e., tongues) in the Corinthian setting should be obvious as we compare it to what we saw in the three occurrences in the book of Acts. For more on understanding this historical (and modern) abuse see my five-part series on this passage entitled &#8220;Untwisting the Tongues,&#8221; which can be </span><a

in a tongue speaks not to men but to God; for no one understands him, but he utters mysteries in the Spirit. 3 On the other hand, the one who prophesies speaks to people for their upbuilding and encouragement and consolation. 4 The one who speaks in a tongue builds up himself, but the one who prophesies builds up the church. 5 Now I want you all to speak in tongues, but even more to prophesy. The one who prophesies is greater than the one who speaks in tongues, unless someone interprets, so that the church may be built up.</p><p><span>6 Now, brothers, </span><a href="http://www.gnpcb.org/esv/mobile/devotions/through.the.bible/?date=2025-09-04#f15">[15]</a><span> if I come to you speaking in tongues, how will I benefit you unless I bring you some revelation or knowledge or prophecy or teaching? 7 If even lifeless instruments, such as the flute or the harp, do not give distinct notes, how will anyone know what is played? 8 And if the bugle gives an indistinct sound, who will get ready for battle? 9 So with yourselves, if with your tongue you utter speech that is not intelligible, how will anyone know what is said? For you will be speaking into the air. 10 There are doubtless many different languages in the world, and none is without meaning, 11 but if I do not know the meaning of the language, I will be a foreigner to the speaker and the speaker a foreigner to me. 12 So with yourselves, since you are eager for manifestations of the Spirit, strive to excel in building up the church.</span></p><p><span>13 Therefore, one who speaks in a tongue should pray that he may interpret. 14 For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays but my mind is unfruitful. 15 What am I to do? I will pray with my spirit, but I will pray with my mind also; I will sing praise with my spirit, but I will sing with my mind also. 16 Otherwise, if you give thanks with your spirit, how can anyone in the position of an outsider </span><a href="http://www.gnpcb.org/esv/mobile/devotions/through.the.bible/?date=2025-09-04#f16">[16]</a><span> say &#8220;Amen&#8221; to your thanksgiving when he does not know what you are saying? 17 For you may be giving thanks well enough, but the other person is not being built up. 18 I thank God that I speak in tongues more than all of you. 19 Nevertheless, in church I would rather speak five words with my mind in order to instruct others, than ten thousand words in a tongue.</span></p><p>20 Brothers, do not be children in your thinking.

En 1 Corintios 13 leemos el n&#250;cleo de la correcci&#243;n de Pablo a los corintios, record&#225;ndoles que el don de habilidades a las personas en la iglesia no es para la autopromoci&#243;n o el avance personal, sino para el bien de los dem&#225;s. Si bien es evidente que en este conocido cap&#237;tulo hay principios eternos sobre el amor, no hay que perder de vista el hilo conductor del contexto que se expone en el argumento de Pablo.</p><p>-Pastor Mike</p><p>Lectura del Dia</p><p>Proverbios 3-4 en el Antiguo Testamento</p><p><a href="https://www.bible.com/es/audio-bible/103/PRO.3.NBLA"><span>Para oir la palabra de Dios oprima aqui</span></a></p><p>Y</p><p>1Corintios 13 en el Nuevo Testamento</p><p><a href="https://www.bible.com/es/audio-bible/103/1CO.13.NBLA"><span>Para oir la palabra de Dios oprima aqui</span></a></p><p></p><p></p><h1><strong>PROVERBIOS 3</strong></h1><p><em><strong>Exhortaci&#243;n a la sabidur&#237;a</strong></em></p><p>1Hijo m&#237;o, no te olvides de mi ense&#241;anza,</p><p>Y tu coraz&#243;n guarde mis mandamientos,</p><p>2Porque largura de d&#237;as y a&#241;os de vida</p><p>Y paz te a&#241;adir&#225;n.</p><p>3La misericordia y la verdad nunca se aparten de ti;</p><p>&#193;talas a tu cuello,</p><p>Escr&#237;belas en la tabla de tu coraz&#243;n.</p><p>4As&#237;

May this motivate all of us to take an interest in educating and equipping the next generation in the principles and precepts of God&#8217;s truth. In 1 Corinthians 13 we read the heart of Paul&#8217;s corrective to the Corinthians, reminding them that the endowment of abilities to people in the church is not for self-promotion or self-advancement, but for the good of others. While there are obviously eternal principles in this familiar chapter regarding love, don&#8217;t miss the flow of the context being laid out in Paul&#8217;s argument.</p><p>&#8212; Pastor

y nadie puede decir: &#171;Jes&#250;s es el Se&#241;or&#187;, excepto por el Esp&#237;ritu Santo.</span></p><p><em><strong>Diversidad y unidad de los dones</strong></em></p><p>4Ahora bien, hay diversidad de dones, pero el Esp&#237;ritu es el mismo. 5Hay diversidad de ministerios, pero el Se&#241;or es el mismo. 6Y hay diversidad de operaciones, pero es el mismo Dios el que hace todas las cosas en todos. 7Pero a cada uno se le da la manifestaci&#243;n del Esp&#237;ritu para el bien com&#250;n.</p><p><span>8Pues a uno le es dada palabra de sabidur&#237;a por el Esp&#237;ritu; a otro, palabra de conocimiento seg&#250;n el mismo Esp&#237;ritu; 9a otro, fe por el mismo Esp&#237;ritu; a otro, dones de sanidad por el &#250;nico Esp&#237;ritu; 10a otro, poder de milagros; a otro, profec&#237;a; a otro, discernimiento de esp&#237;ritus; a otro, </span><em>diversas</em><span>clases de lenguas, y a otro, interpretaci&#243;n de lenguas. 11Pero todas estas cosas las hace uno y el mismo Esp&#237;ritu, distribuyendo individualmente a cada uno seg&#250;n Su voluntad.</span></p><p><em><strong>La iglesia, cuerpo de Cristo</strong></em></p><p>12Porque as&#237; como el cuerpo es uno, y tiene muchos miembros, pero, todos los miembros del cuerpo, aunque son muchos, constituyen un solo cuerpo, as&#237; tambi&#233;n es Cristo. 13Pues por un mismo Esp&#237;ritu todos fuimos bautizados en un solo cuerpo, ya jud&#237;os o griegos, ya esclavos o libres. A todos se nos dio a beber del mismo Esp&#237;ritu.</p><p><span>14Porque el cuerpo no es un solo miembro, sino muchos. 15Si el pie dijera: &#171;Porque no soy mano, no soy </span><em>parte</em><span> del cuerpo&#187;, no por eso deja de ser </span><em>parte</em><span>del cuerpo. 16Y si el o&#237;do dijera: &#171;Porque no soy ojo, no soy </span><em>parte</em><span> del cuerpo&#187;, no por eso deja de ser </span><em>parte</em><span>del cuerpo. 17Si todo el cuerpo fuera ojo, &#191;qu&#233; ser&#237;a del o&#237;do?

I trust that as I prayed at the outset of this year&#8217;s reading through the Psalms, that your prayerful reading has enriched your spirit and enhanced your worship of our great God. In our New Testament reading we revisit important instructions on our participation in the Lord&#8217;s Supper. The Corinthian Christians had made a festive potluck out of this solemn memorial meal. While that may not be our problem, there is still much to learn from this passage about the proper mindset in participating in this important remembrance of the Lord&#8217;s death.</p><p>&#8212;

como la mujer procede del hombre, tambi&#233;n el hombre </span><em>nace</em><span> de la mujer; y todas las cosas proceden de Dios. 13Juzguen ustedes mismos: &#191;es propio que la mujer ore a Dios </span><em>con la cabeza</em><span> descubierta? 14&#191;No les ense&#241;a la misma naturaleza que si el hombre tiene el cabello largo le es deshonra, 15pero que si la mujer tiene el cabello largo le es una gloria? Pues a ella el cabello le es dado por velo.</span></p><h1>English Standard Version</h1><p>Pastor&#8217;s Note:</p><p><span>Today we read some more great psalms that should fortify our confidence in a God who in the end &#8220;fulfills the desire of those who fear him&#8221; (145:19), who &#8220;lifts up those who are bowed down&#8221; (146:8), and who &#8220;heals the brokenhearted&#8221; (147:3). What great truths to have reinforced in our thinking and worship. In the New Testament we read about the &#8220;head coverings&#8221; of the first-century church, which may not be what you envision.

Psalm 142 is a good reminder that godly people in the middle of God&#8217;s will are not always living comfortable lives of prosperity and surplus &#8211; not even the godly kings who were said to be men &#8220;after God&#8217;s own heart.&#8221; I pray your reading of 1 Corinthians 10:14-33 is energizing.</p><p>&#8212; Pastor Mike</p><p>Today&#8217;s Reading:</p><p>Psalms 142-144</p><p><a href="https://www.bible.com/audio-bible/59/PSA.142.ESV"><span>to listen to Gods word click here</span></a></p><p>1 Corinthians 10 14-33</p><p><a href="https://www.bible.com/audio-bible/59/1CO.10.ESV"><span>to listen to Gods word click here</span></a></p></blockquote><div id="youtube2-g5u6yBfqWCU" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;g5u6yBfqWCU&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/g5u6yBfqWCU?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><blockquote><p></p><h1>Psalms 142-144</h1><p>You Are My Refuge</p><p><span>A Maskil</span><sup>1</sup><span> Of David, When He Was In </span><a href="https://www.esv.org/Ps57.1"><sup>k</sup></a><span>The Cave.

Fiel es Dios, que no permitir&#225; que ustedes sean tentados m&#225;s all&#225; de lo que pueden </span><em>soportar,</em><span> sino que con la tentaci&#243;n proveer&#225; tambi&#233;n la v&#237;a de escape, a fin de que puedan resistir</span><em>la.</em></p><h1>English Standard Version</h1><p><span>Pastor&#8217;s Note:Today we encounter the familiar </span><a href="https://ref.ly/Ps%20139;esv?t=fl">Psalm 139</a><span> that is filled with great insights and practical challenges. Let the power of these insights inform us about God&#8217;s character and may these truths also have the various effects on our lives that they should. In our New Testament reading we see that our study of the Old Testament narratives should not only be informative, but instructive.

A todos me he hecho todo, para que por todos los medios salve a algunos. 23Y todo lo hago por amor del evangelio, para ser part&#237;cipe de &#233;l.</span></p><p><em><strong>Disciplina personal de Pablo</strong></em></p><p><span>24&#191;No saben que los que corren en el estadio, todos en verdad corren, pero </span><em>solo</em><span> uno obtiene el premio?

Ellos </span><em>lo hacen</em><span>para recibir una corona corruptible, pero nosotros, una incorruptible. 26Por tanto, yo de esta manera corro, no como sin tener meta; de esta manera peleo, no como dando golpes al aire, 27sino que golpeo mi cuerpo y lo hago mi esclavo, no sea que habiendo predicado a otros, yo mismo sea descalificado.</span></p><h1>English Standard Version</h1><p>Pastor&#8217;s Note:</p><p>Today we read what may have been sung as an antiphonal song, with one group of singers answering the other.

Que la palabra viva y activa de Dios llegue al lugar de nuestros pensamientos y convicciones. Al igual que Romanos 14, la lectura de hoy de 1 Corintios 8 debe tomarse a partir de las preocupaciones hist&#243;ricas y espec&#237;ficas de la Asia Menor del siglo I y aplicarse a las muchas &#171;cuestiones controvertidas&#187; con las que nos vemos obligados a lidiar en el siglo XXI. Nuestro testimonio cristiano y nuestro amor por nuestros hermanos y hermanas en Cristo deben gobernar nuestras &#171;libertades&#187; y llevarnos a renunciar a nuestros &#171;derechos&#187;, porque hemos aprendido a amar a los dem&#225;s con sacrificio.</p><p>-Pastor Mike</p><p>Lectura del Dia</p><p>Salmos 132-135 en el Antiguo Testamento</p><p><a href="https://www.bible.com/es/audio-bible/103/PSA.132.NBLA"><span>Para oir la palabra de Dios oprima aqui</span></a></p><p>Y</p><p>1Corintios 8 en el Nuevo Testamento</p><p><a href="https://www.bible.com/es/audio-bible/103/1CO.8.NBLA"><span>Para oir la palabra de Dios oprima aqui</span></a></p><p></p><p><strong>Salmo 132-135</strong></p><h1><strong>Salmo 132</strong></h1><p><em><strong>Plegaria por el santuario</strong></em></p><p><em>C&#225;ntico de ascenso gradual.</em></p><p>1Acu&#233;rdate, Se&#241;or, de David,</p><p>De toda su aflicci&#243;n;</p><p>2De c&#243;mo jur&#243; al Se&#241;or,</p><p><em>Y</em><span> prometi&#243; al Poderoso de Jacob:</span></p><p>3&#171;Ciertamente no entrar&#233; en mi casa,</p><p>Ni en mi lecho me acostar&#233;;</p><p>4No dar&#233; sue&#241;o a mis ojos,</p><p>Ni a mis p&#225;rpados adormecimiento,</p><p>5Hasta que halle un lugar para el Se&#241;or,</p><p>Una morada para el Poderoso de Jacob&#187;.</p><p>6&#182;O&#237;mos de ella en Efrata;</p><p>La hallamos en los campos de Jaar.</p><p>7Entremos a Sus moradas;</p><p>Postr&#233;monos ante el estrado de Sus pies.</p><p>8Lev&#225;ntate, Se&#241;or, al lugar de Tu reposo;</p><p>T&#250; y el arca de Tu poder.</p><p>9V&#237;stanse de justicia Sus sacerdotes;</p><p>Y canten con gozo Sus santos.</p><p>10&#182;Por amor a David Su siervo,</p><p>No hagas volver el rostro de Su ungido.</p><p>11El Se&#241;or ha jurado a David</p><p>Una verdad de la cual no se retractar&#225;:</p><p>&#171;De tu descendencia pondr&#233; sobre tu trono.</p><p>12-&#187;Si tus hijos guardan Mi pacto,</p><p>Y Mi testimonio que les ense&#241;ar&#233;,</p><p>Sus hijos tambi&#233;n ocupar&#225;n tu trono para siempre&#187;.</p><p>13&#182;Porque el Se&#241;or ha escogido a Si&#243;n;</p><p>La quiso para Su habitaci&#243;n.</p><p>14&#171;Este es Mi lugar de reposo para siempre;</p><p>Aqu&#237; habitar&#233;, porque la he deseado.</p><p>15-&#187;Su provisi&#243;n bendecir&#233; en abundancia;</p><p>De pan saciar&#233; a sus pobres.</p><p>16-&#187;A sus sacerdotes tambi&#233;n vestir&#233; de salvaci&#243;n,</p><p>Y sus santos dar&#225;n voces de j&#250;bilo.</p><p>17-&#187;All&#237; har&#233; surgir el poder de David;</p><p>He preparado una l&#225;mpara para Mi ungido.</p><p>18-&#187;A sus enemigos cubrir&#233; de verg&#252;enza,</p><p>Pero sobre &#233;l resplandecer&#225; su corona&#187;.</p><h1><strong>Salmo 133</strong></h1><p><em><strong>Excelencia del amor fraternal</strong></em></p><p><em>C&#225;ntico de ascenso gradual; de David.</em></p><p>1Miren cu&#225;n bueno y cu&#225;n agradable es</p><p>Que los hermanos habiten juntos en armon&#237;a.</p><p>2Es como el &#243;leo precioso sobre la cabeza,</p><p>El cual desciende sobre la barba,</p><p>La barba de Aar&#243;n,</p><p>Que desciende hasta el borde de sus vestiduras.</p><p>3Es como el roc&#237;o de Herm&#243;n,</p><p>Que desciende sobre los montes de Si&#243;n;</p><p>Porque all&#237; mand&#243; el Se&#241;or la bendici&#243;n, la vida para siempre.</p><h1><strong>Salmo 134</strong></h1><p><em><strong>Alabanza vespertina</strong></em></p><p><em>C&#225;ntico de ascenso gradual.</em></p><p>1Bendigan al Se&#241;or todos los siervos del Se&#241;or,</p><p>Los que sirven por la noche en la casa del Se&#241;or.</p><p>2Alcen sus manos al santuario</p><p>Y bendigan al Se&#241;or.</p><p>3Desde Si&#243;n te bendiga el Se&#241;or,</p><p>Que hizo los cielos y la tierra.</p><h1><strong>Salmo 135</strong></h1><p><em><strong>El Se&#241;or en la naturaleza y en la historia</strong></em></p><p>1&#161;Aleluya!</p><p>Alaben el nombre del Se&#241;or;</p><p><span>Al&#225;ben</span><em>lo,</em><span> siervos del Se&#241;or,</span></p><p>2Los que est&#225;n en la casa del Se&#241;or,</p><p>En los atrios de la casa de nuestro Dios.</p><p>3&#161;Aleluya!

Porque algunos, estando acostumbrados al &#237;dolo hasta ahora, comen </span><em>alimento</em><span> como si este fuera sacrificado a un &#237;dolo, y su conciencia, siendo d&#233;bil, se mancha. 8Pero la comida no nos recomendar&#225; a Dios, </span><em>pues</em><span> ni somos menos si no comemos, ni </span><em>somos</em><span> m&#225;s si comemos. 9Pero tengan cuidado, no sea que esta libertad de ustedes de alguna manera se convierta en piedra de tropiezo para el d&#233;bil. 10Porque si alguien te ve a ti, que tienes conocimiento, sentado </span><em>a la mesa</em><span> en un templo de &#237;dolos, &#191;no ser&#225; estimulada su conciencia, si &#233;l es d&#233;bil, a comer lo sacrificado a los &#237;dolos?</span></p><p><span>11Por tu conocimiento se perder&#225; el que es d&#233;bil, el hermano por quien Cristo muri&#243;. 12Y as&#237;, al pecar contra los hermanos y herir su conciencia cuando </span><em>esta</em><span> es d&#233;bil, pecan contra Cristo. 13Por tanto, si la comida hace que mi hermano caiga en pecado, no comer&#233; carne jam&#225;s, para no hacer pecar a mi hermano.</span></p><h1>English Standard Version</h1><p>Pastor&#8217;s Note:</p><p>Today we read a great set of psalms that I trust will challenge and edify each of us. May God&#8217;s living and active word get down to the place of our thoughts and convictions.

Our Christian testimony and our love for our brothers and sisters in Christ should govern our &#8220;freedoms&#8221; and drive us to lay down our &#8220;rights&#8221; because we have learned to sacrificially love others.</p><p>&#8212; Pastor Mike</p><p>Today&#8217;s Reading:</p><p>Psalms 132-135</p><p><a href="https://www.bible.com/audio-bible/59/PSA.132.ESV"><span>to listen to Gods word click here</span></a></p><p>1 Corinthians 8</p><p><a href="https://www.bible.com/audio-bible/59/1CO.8.ESV"><span>to listen to Gods word click here</span></a></p></blockquote><div id="youtube2-t_sG-OLZdgM" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;t_sG-OLZdgM&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/t_sG-OLZdgM?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><blockquote><p></p><p>Psalms 132-135</p><p>The LORD Has Chosen Zion</p><h1>Psalms 132</h1><p>A SONG OF ASCENTS.</p><p>Remember, O LORD, in David&#8217;s favor,</p><p>all the hardships he endured,</p><p>how he swore to the LORD</p><p>and vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob,</p><p>&#8220;I will not enter my house</p><p>or get into my bed,</p><p>I will not give sleep to my eyes</p><p>or slumber to my eyelids,</p><p>until I find a place for the LORD,</p><p>a dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob.&#8221;</p><p>Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah;</p><p>we found it in the fields of Jaar.</p><p>&#8220;Let us go to his dwelling place;</p><p>let us worship at his footstool!&#8221;</p><p>Arise, O LORD, and go to your resting place,</p><p>you and the ark of your might.</p><p>Let your priests be clothed with righteousness,</p><p>and let your saints shout for joy.</p><p>For the sake of your servant David,</p><p>do not turn away the face of your anointed one.</p><p>The LORD swore to David a sure oath</p><p>from which he will not turn back:</p><p>&#8220;One of the sons of your body</p><p>I will set on your throne.</p><p>If your sons keep my covenant</p><p>and my testimonies that I shall teach them,</p><p>their sons also forever</p><p>shall sit on your throne.&#8221;</p><p>For the LORD has chosen Zion;</p><p>he has desired it for his dwelling place:</p><p>&#8220;This is my resting place forever;</p><p>here I will dwell, for I have desired it.</p><p>I will abundantly bless her provisions;</p><p>I will satisfy her poor with bread.</p><p>Her priests I will clothe with salvation,</p><p>and her saints will shout for joy.</p><p>There I will make a horn to sprout for David;</p><p>I have prepared a lamp for my anointed.</p><p>His enemies I will clothe with shame,</p><p>but on him his crown will shine.&#8221;</p><p>When Brothers Dwell in Unity</p><p><span>A Song Of </span><a href="https://www.esv.org/Ps120.1"><sup>m</sup></a><span>Ascents.

La mujer que no est&#225; casada y la virgen se preocupan por las cosas del Se&#241;or, para ser santas tanto en cuerpo como en esp&#237;ritu; pero la casada se preocupa por las cosas del mundo, de c&#243;mo agradar a su marido. 35Esto digo para su propio beneficio; no para ponerles restricci&#243;n, sino para </span><em>promover</em><span> lo que es honesto y para </span><em>asegurar su</em><span> constante devoci&#243;n al Se&#241;or.</span></p><p><span>36Y si alguien cree que no est&#225; obrando correctamente con respecto a su </span><em>hija</em><span> virgen, si ella es de edad madura, y si es necesario que as&#237; se haga, que haga lo que quiera, no peca; que se case. 37Pero el que est&#225; firme en su coraz&#243;n, y sin presi&#243;n alguna, y tiene control sobre su propia voluntad, y ha decidido en su coraz&#243;n conservar virgen a su </span><em>hija,</em><span> bien har&#225;. 38As&#237; los dos, el que da en matrimonio a su </span><em>hija</em><span>virgen, hace bien; y el que no la da en matrimonio, hace mejor.</span></p><p><span>39La mujer est&#225; ligada mientras el marido vive; pero si el marido muere, est&#225; en libertad de casarse con quien desee, solo que </span><em>sea</em><span> en el Se&#241;or. 40Pero en mi opini&#243;n, ser&#225; m&#225;s feliz si se queda como est&#225;.

No se circuncide. 19La circuncisi&#243;n nada es, y nada es la incircuncisi&#243;n, sino el guardar los mandamientos de Dios. 20Cada uno permanezca en la condici&#243;n en que fue llamado.</span></p><p>21&#191;Fuiste llamado siendo esclavo? No te preocupes. Aunque si puedes obtener tu libertad, prefi&#233;relo. 22Porque el que fue llamado por el Se&#241;or siendo esclavo, hombre libre es del Se&#241;or. De la misma manera, el que fue llamado siendo libre, esclavo es de Cristo. 23Ustedes fueron comprados por precio.

Likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does. 5 Do not deprive one another, except perhaps by agreement for a limited time, that you may devote yourselves to prayer; but then come together again, so that Satan may not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.</p><p><span>6 Now as a concession, not a command, I say this. </span><a href="http://www.gnpcb.org/esv/mobile/devotions/through.the.bible/?date=2025-08-25#f3">[3]</a><span> 7 I wish that all were as I myself am. But each has his own gift from God, one of one kind and one of another.</span></p><p>8 To the unmarried and the widows I say that it is good for them to remain single as I am. 9 But if they cannot exercise self-control, they should marry. For it is better to marry than to burn with passion.</p><p>10 To the married I give this charge (not I, but the Lord): the wife should not separate from her husband 11 (but if she does, she should remain unmarried or else be reconciled to her husband), and the husband should not divorce his wife.</p><p><span>12 To the rest I say (I, not the Lord) that if any brother has a wife who is an unbeliever, and she consents to live with him, he should not divorce her. 13 If any woman has a husband who is an unbeliever, and he consents to live with her, she should not divorce him. 14 For the unbelieving husband is made holy because of his wife, and the unbelieving wife is made holy because of her husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but as it is, they are holy. 15 But if the unbelieving partner separates, let it be so. In such cases the brother or sister is not enslaved. God has called you </span><a href="http://www.gnpcb.org/esv/mobile/devotions/through.the.bible/?date=2025-08-25#f4">[4]</a><span> to peace. 16 For how do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, husband, whether you will save your wife?</span></p><p>Live as You Are Called</p><p><span>17 Only let each person lead the life that the Lord has assigned to him, and to which God has called him. This is my rule in all the churches. 18 Was anyone at the time of his call already circumcised? Let him not seek to remove the marks of circumcision. Was anyone at the time of his call uncircumcised? Let him not seek circumcision. 19 For neither circumcision counts for anything nor uncircumcision, but keeping the commandments of God. 20 Each one should remain in the condition in which he was called. 21 Were you a bondservant </span><a href="http://www.gnpcb.org/esv/mobile/devotions/through.the.bible/?date=2025-08-25#f5">[5]</a><span>when called? Do not be concerned about it. (But if you can gain your freedom, avail yourself of the opportunity.) 22 For he who was called in the Lord as a slave is a freedman of the Lord. Likewise he who was free when called is a bondservant of Christ. 23 You were bought with a price; do not become bondservant of men. 24 So, brothers, </span><a href="http://www.gnpcb.org/esv/mobile/devotions/through.the.bible/?date=2025-08-25#f6">[6]</a><span> in whatever condition each was called, there let him remain with God.</span></p></blockquote>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[August 24]]></title><description><![CDATA[tNota del Pastor:]]></description><link>https://harveynunez.substack.com/p/august-24</link><guid isPermaLink="false">https://harveynunez.substack.com/p/august-24</guid><pubDate>Mon, 24 Aug 2026 19:25:41 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/0f531fc6-3914-4318-96d4-ad0d25c131d1_1920x1080.png" length="0" type="image/jpeg"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote><p>tNota del Pastor:</p><p>Hoy comenzamos a leer los &#171;salmos de ascensi&#243;n&#187;, que probablemente eran los c&#225;nticos que Israel entonaba durante sus peregrinaciones anuales a Jerusal&#233;n.

En 1 Corintios 6 se nos llama a alcanzar una madurez en la pr&#225;ctica y la doctrina que a menudo falta en los cristianos de hoy.</p><p>Pastor Mike</p><p>Lectura del Dia</p><p>Salmos 120-123 en el Antiguo Testamento</p><p><a href="https://www.bible.com/es/audio-bible/103/PSA.120.NBLA"><span>Para oir la palabra de Dios oprima aqui</span></a></p><p>Y</p><p>1Corintios 6 en el Nuevo Testamento</p><p><a href="https://www.bible.com/es/audio-bible/103/1CO.6.NBLA"><span>Para oir la palabra de Dios oprima aqui</span></a></p><p></p><h1><strong>Salmo 120-123</strong></h1><h1><strong>Salmo 120</strong></h1><p><em><strong>La lengua enga&#241;osa y los enemigos de la paz</strong></em></p><p><em>C&#225;ntico de ascenso gradual.</em></p><p>1En mi angustia clam&#233; al Se&#241;or,</p><p>Y &#201;l me respondi&#243;.</p><p>2Libra mi alma, Se&#241;or, de labios mentirosos,</p><p><em>Y</em><span> de lengua enga&#241;osa.</span></p><p>3&#191;Qu&#233; te dar&#225;, y qu&#233; te a&#241;adir&#225;,</p><p>Oh lengua enga&#241;osa?</p><p>4Agudas flechas de guerrero,</p><p>Con brasas de enebro.</p><p>5&#182;&#161;Ay de m&#237;, porque soy peregrino en Mesec,</p><p><em>Y</em><span> habito entre las tiendas de Cedar!</span></p><p>6Demasiado tiempo ha morado mi alma</p><p>Con los que odian la paz.</p><p><span>7Yo </span><em>amo</em><span> la paz, pero cuando hablo,</span></p><p>Ellos est&#225;n por la guerra.</p><h1><strong>Salmo 121</strong></h1><p><em><strong>El Se&#241;or, guardador de Israel</strong></em></p><p><em>C&#225;ntico de ascenso gradual.</em></p><p>1Levantar&#233; mis ojos a los montes;</p><p>&#191;De d&#243;nde vendr&#225; mi ayuda?</p><p><span>2Mi ayuda </span><em>viene</em><span> del Se&#241;or,</span></p><p>Que hizo los cielos y la tierra.</p><p>3No permitir&#225; que tu pie resbale;</p><p>No se adormecer&#225; el que te guarda.</p><p>4Jam&#225;s se adormecer&#225; ni dormir&#225;</p><p>El que guarda a Israel.</p><p>5&#182;El Se&#241;or es tu guardador;</p><p>El Se&#241;or es tu sombra a tu mano derecha.</p><p>6El sol no te herir&#225; de d&#237;a,</p><p>Ni la luna de noche.</p><p>7&#182;El Se&#241;or te proteger&#225; de todo mal;</p><p>&#201;l guardar&#225; tu alma.</p><p>8El Se&#241;or guardar&#225; tu salida y tu entrada</p><p>Desde ahora y para siempre.</p><h1><strong>Salmo 122</strong></h1><p><em><strong>Oraci&#243;n por la paz de Jerusal&#233;n</strong></em></p><p><em>C&#225;ntico de ascenso gradual; de David.</em></p><p>1Yo me alegr&#233; cuando me dijeron:</p><p>&#171;Vamos a la casa del Se&#241;or&#187;.</p><p>2Plantados est&#225;n nuestros pies</p><p>Dentro de tus puertas, oh Jerusal&#233;n.</p><p>3Jerusal&#233;n, que est&#225; edificada</p><p>Como ciudad compacta, bien unida,</p><p>4A la cual suben las tribus, las tribus del Se&#241;or,</p><p><span>(</span><em>Lo cual es</em><span> ordenanza para Israel)</span></p><p>Para alabar el nombre del Se&#241;or.</p><p>5Porque all&#237; se establecieron tronos para juicio,</p><p>Los tronos de la casa de David.</p><p>6&#182;Oren ustedes por la paz de Jerusal&#233;n:</p><p>&#171;Sean prosperados los que te aman.</p><p>7-&#187;Haya paz dentro de tus muros,</p><p>Y prosperidad en tus palacios&#187;.</p><p>8Por amor de mis hermanos y de mis amigos,</p><p>Dir&#233; ahora: &#171;Sea la paz en ti&#187;.</p><p>9Por amor de la casa del Se&#241;or nuestro Dios</p><p>Procurar&#233; tu bien.</p><h1><strong>Salmo 123</strong></h1><p><em><strong>Oraci&#243;n pidiendo ayuda del Se&#241;or</strong></em></p><p><em>C&#225;ntico de ascenso gradual.</em></p><p>1A Ti levanto mis ojos,</p><p>&#161;Oh T&#250; que reinas en los cielos!</p><p><span>2Como los ojos de los siervos </span><em>miran</em><span> a la mano de su se&#241;or,</span></p><p>Como los ojos de la sierva a la mano de su se&#241;ora,</p><p><span>As&#237; nuestros ojos </span><em>miran</em><span> al Se&#241;or nuestro Dios</span></p><p>Hasta que se apiade de nosotros.</p><p>3&#182;Ten piedad de nosotros, oh Se&#241;or, ten piedad de nosotros,</p><p>Porque ya no soportamos el desprecio.</p><p>4Nuestra alma est&#225; cansada</p><p>Del escarnio de los que est&#225;n en holgura</p><p><em>Y</em><span> del desprecio de los soberbios.</span></p><p></p><h1><strong>1 CORINTIOS 6</strong></h1><p><em><strong>El cristiano y los tribunales civiles</strong></em></p><p><span>1&#191;Se atreve alguno de ustedes, cuando tiene algo contra su pr&#243;jimo, a ir a juicio ante los incr&#233;dulos y no ante los santos? 2&#191;O no saben que los santos han de juzgar al mundo?

tal </span><em>acci&#243;n.</em><span> 4En el nombre de nuestro Se&#241;or Jes&#250;s, cuando est&#233;n reunidos, y yo con ustedes en esp&#237;ritu, con el poder de nuestro Se&#241;or Jes&#250;s, 5entreguen a ese tal a Satan&#225;s para la destrucci&#243;n de su carne, a fin de que su esp&#237;ritu sea salvo en el d&#237;a del Se&#241;or Jes&#250;s.</span></p><p><span>6La jactancia de ustedes no es buena. &#191;No saben que un poco de levadura fermenta toda </span><em>la masa</em><span>? 7Limpien la levadura vieja para que sean masa nueva, as&#237; como </span><em>lo</em><span> son </span><em>en realidad</em><span> sin levadura. Porque aun Cristo, nuestra Pascua, ha sido sacrificado. 8Por tanto, celebremos la fiesta no con la levadura vieja, ni con la levadura de malicia y maldad, sino con panes sin levadura de sinceridad y de verdad.</span></p><p><span>9En mi carta les escrib&#237; que no anduvieran en compa&#241;&#237;a de personas inmorales. 10No </span><em>me refer&#237;a a</em><span> la gente inmoral de este mundo, o a los codiciosos y estafadores, o a los id&#243;latras, porque entonces tendr&#237;an ustedes que salirse del mundo. 11Sino que en efecto les escrib&#237; que no anduvieran en compa&#241;&#237;a de ninguno que, llam&#225;ndose hermano, es una persona inmoral, o avaro, o id&#243;latra, o difamador, o borracho, o estafador. Con esa persona, ni siquiera coman.</span></p><p><span>12Pues &#191;por qu&#233; he de juzgar yo a los de afuera? &#191;No juzgan ustedes a los que est&#225;n dentro </span><em>de la iglesia</em><span>? 13Pero Dios juzga a los que est&#225;n fuera. Expulsen al malvado de entre ustedes.</span></p><h1>English Standard Version</h1><p>Pastor&#8217;s Note:</p><p>As we finish reading Psalm 119 today, we begin with the classic verse that God&#8217;s word is to be &#8220;a lamp to our feet and a light to our path.&#8221; May it be so today as we take what we read and ask that God would help us to make the proper applications of it throughout the day. In 1 Corinthians 5 we see problems in Corinth that are as relevant as today&#8217;s Christian bloggers. Let us never follow this erroneous pattern of letting our doctrine of grace become something that lures us to revel in our sins or in the magnanimity of our acceptance of the sins of others.</p><p>&#8212; Pastor Mike</p><p>Today&#8217;s Reading:</p><p>Psalms 119 105-176.</p><p><a href="https://www.bible.com/audio-bible/59/PSA.119.ESV"><span>to listen to Gods word click

De hecho, ni aun yo me juzgo a m&#237; mismo. 4Porque no estoy consciente de nada en contra m&#237;a. Pero no por eso estoy sin culpa, pues el que me juzga es el Se&#241;or. 5Por tanto, no juzguen antes de tiempo, </span><em>sino esperen</em><span> hasta que el Se&#241;or venga, el cual sacar&#225; a la luz las cosas ocultas en las tinieblas y tambi&#233;n pondr&#225; de manifiesto los designios de los corazones. Entonces cada uno recibir&#225; de parte de Dios la alabanza que le corresponda.</span></p><p><span>6Esto, hermanos, lo he aplicado en sentido figurado a m&#237; mismo y a Apolos por amor a ustedes, para que en nosotros aprendan a no sobrepasar lo que est&#225; escrito, para que ninguno de ustedes se vuelva arrogante a favor del uno contra el otro. 7Porque &#191;qui&#233;n te distingue? &#191;Qu&#233; tienes que no recibiste? Y si lo recibiste, &#191;por qu&#233; te jactas como si no lo hubieras recibido? 8Ya est&#225;n saciados, ya se han hecho ricos, </span><em>ya</em><span> han llegado a reinar sin </span><em>necesidad de</em><span> nosotros. Ojal&#225; hubieran llegado a reinar, para que nosotros rein&#225;ramos tambi&#233;n con ustedes. 9Porque pienso que Dios nos ha exhibido a nosotros los ap&#243;stoles en &#250;ltimo lugar, como a sentenciados a muerte. Porque hemos llegado a ser un espect&#225;culo para el mundo, tanto para los &#225;ngeles como para los hombres.</span></p><p>10Nosotros somos necios por amor de Cristo, pero ustedes, prudentes en Cristo. Nosotros somos d&#233;biles, pero ustedes, fuertes. Ustedes son distinguidos, pero nosotros, sin honra. 11Hasta el momento presente pasamos hambre y sed, andamos mal vestidos, somos maltratados y no tenemos d&#243;nde vivir. 12Nos agotamos trabajando con nuestras propias manos. Cuando nos ultrajan, bendecimos. Cuando somos perseguidos, lo soportamos. 13Cuando hablan mal de nosotros, tratamos de reconciliar. Hemos llegado a ser, hasta ahora, la basura del mundo, el desecho de todo.</p><p><span>14No les escribo esto para avergonzarlos, sino para amonestarlos como a hijos m&#237;os amados. 15Porque aunque ustedes tengan innumerables maestros en Cristo, sin embargo no </span><em>tienen</em><span> muchos padres; pues en Cristo Jes&#250;s yo los engendr&#233; por medio del evangelio. 16Por tanto, los exhorto: sean imitadores m&#237;os.</span></p><p><span>17Por esta raz&#243;n les he enviado a Timoteo, que es mi hijo amado y fiel en el Se&#241;or. &#201;l les recordar&#225; mis caminos, los </span><em>caminos</em><span> en Cristo, tal como yo ense&#241;o en todas partes, en cada iglesia. 18Algunos de ustedes se han vuelto arrogantes, como si yo no hubiera de ir a verlos. 19Pero ir&#233; a verlos pronto, si el Se&#241;or quiere, y conocer&#233;, no las palabras de los arrogantes sino el poder que tienen. 20Porque el reino de Dios no </span><em>consiste</em><span> en palabras, sino en poder. 21&#191;Qu&#233; quieren? &#191;Ir&#233; a ustedes con vara, o con amor y esp&#237;ritu de mansedumbre?</span></p><h1>English Standard Version</h1><p>Pastor&#8217;s Note:</p><p>The reason we read the Bible every day, study it regularly, memorize it, and come to church to hear it exposited is because it is the life-giving declaration of God to the human race. May our reading of Psalm 119 today remind us of that. I pray our growing love for God&#8217;s word reminds us why we become so &#8220;indignant&#8221; when it is maligned, misquoted, ignored, and forsaken (v.53). Let our reading of 1 Corinthians 4 be a safeguard against the &#8220;over-realized eschatology&#8221; we see in Corinth and applied to so many heresies in our day.</p><p>&#8212; Pastor

No se pierda este importante &#233;nfasis. A pesar de todas las cr&#237;ticas que los cristianos soportamos por parte de aquellos que afirman que nos tomamos demasiado en serio la verdad inscrita en las Escrituras, este extenso cap&#237;tulo es una lectura refrescante y justificadora. Tambi&#233;n en 1 Corintios 3 encontramos la verdadera definici&#243;n de un &#171;cristiano carnal&#187; (ESV = &#171;gente de la carne&#187;). Observe que no se trata de un grupo de personas que viven de la misma manera que el mundo, sino de un conjunto de cristianos inmaduros que defienden a su predicador cristiano favorito. Si bien es cierto que esto es incorrecto y &#171;carnal&#187;, est&#225; muy lejos del comportamiento pecaminoso que la gente intenta clasificar como &#171;cristiano carnal&#187;.</p><p>Pastor Mike</p><p>Lectura del Dia</p><p>Salmos 119 en el Antiguo Testamento</p><p><a href="https://www.bible.com/es/audio-bible/103/PSA.119.NBLA"><span>para oir la palabra De Dios oprima aqui</span></a></p><p>Y</p><p>1Corintios 3 en el Nuevo Testamento</p><p><a href="https://www.bible.com/es/audio-bible/103/1CO.3.NBLA"><span>para oir la palabra de Dios oprima aqui</span></a></p><p></p><h1><strong>Salmo 119 1-48</strong></h1><p><em><strong>Meditaciones sobre la palabra de Dios</strong></em></p><p><strong>Alef.</strong></p><p>1&#161;Cu&#225;n bienaventurados son los de camino perfecto,</p><p>Los que andan en la ley del Se&#241;or!</p><p>2&#161;Cu&#225;n bienaventurados son los que guardan Sus testimonios,</p><p><em>Y</em><span> con todo el coraz&#243;n lo buscan!</span></p><p>3No cometen iniquidad,</p><p><em>Sino que</em><span> andan en Sus caminos.</span></p><p>4T&#250;

En verdad, ni aun ahora pueden, 3porque todav&#237;a son carnales. Pues habiendo celos y discusiones entre ustedes, &#191;no son carnales y andan como hombres </span><em>del mundo?</em><span> 4Porque cuando uno dice: &#171;Yo soy de Pablo&#187;, y otro: &#171;Yo soy de Apolos&#187;, &#191;no son </span><em>como</em><span> hombres </span><em>del mundo?</em><span> 5&#191;Qu&#233; es, pues, Apolos? &#191;Y qu&#233; es Pablo?

Don&#8217;t miss this important emphasis. For all the flack we Christians endure from those who claim that we take God&#8217;s inscripturated truth too seriously, this extended chapter can be a refreshing and vindicating read. Also in 1 Corinthians 3 we encounter the true definition of a &#8220;carnal Christian&#8221; (ESV = &#8220;people of the flesh&#8221;). Notice that this is not a group of people who live identically to the world, but an immature set of Christians who champion their favorite Christian preacher. While this is admittedly wrong and &#8220;fleshly,&#8221; it is a long way from the sinful behavior people try to file under the &#8220;carnal Christian.&#8221;</p><p>&#8212; Pastor

A menudo, nuestro amor por Dios se ve impulsado y realzado por las cosas pr&#225;cticas y espec&#237;ficas que &#201;l nos proporciona providencialmente. No seamos reacios a &#171;contar nuestras bendiciones&#187;, por mundanas y personales que nos parezcan. Dejemos que alimenten nuestra adoraci&#243;n hoy. En 1 Corintios 2 vemos lo f&#225;cilmente impresionados que estaban los corintios con la sabidur&#237;a del mundo, pero lo importante que es que los cristianos reconozcan el valor insuperable de la revelaci&#243;n de Dios a lo largo de la Biblia, especialmente en la revelaci&#243;n y redenci&#243;n del Dios encarnado, Jesucristo.</p><p>Pastor Mike</p><p>Lectura del Dia</p><p>Salmos 116-118 en el Antiguo Testamento</p><p><a href="https://www.bible.com/es/audio-bible/103/PSA.116.NBLA"><span>oprima aqui para oir la palabra de Dios</span></a></p><p>Y</p><p>1Corintios 2 en el Nuevo Testamento</p><p><a href="https://www.bible.com/es/audio-bible/103/1CO.2.NBLA"><span>oprima aqui para oir la palabra De Dios</span></a></p><p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;</p><p><strong>Salmo 116-118</strong></p><h1><strong>Salmo 116</strong></h1><p><em><strong>Acci&#243;n de gracias personal</strong></em></p><p>1Amo al Se&#241;or, porque oye</p><p><span>Mi voz </span><em>y</em><span> mis s&#250;plicas.</span></p><p>2Porque a m&#237; ha inclinado Su o&#237;do;</p><p><span>Por tanto </span><em>le</em><span> invocar&#233; mientras yo viva.</span></p><p>3Los lazos de la muerte me rodearon,</p><p>Y los terrores del Seol vinieron sobre m&#237;;</p><p>Angustia y tristeza encontr&#233;.</p><p><span>4Invoqu&#233; entonces el nombre del Se&#241;or, </span><em>diciendo:</em></p><p>&#171;Te ruego, oh Se&#241;or: salva mi vida&#187;.</p><p>5&#182;Clemente y justo es el Se&#241;or;</p><p>S&#237;, compasivo es nuestro Dios.</p><p>6El Se&#241;or guarda a los sencillos;</p><p>Estaba yo postrado y me salv&#243;.</p><p>7Vuelve, alma m&#237;a, a tu reposo,</p><p>Porque el Se&#241;or te ha colmado de bienes.</p><p>8Pues T&#250; has rescatado mi alma de la muerte,</p><p>Mis ojos de l&#225;grimas,</p><p>Mis pies de tropezar.</p><p>9Andar&#233; delante del Se&#241;or</p><p>En la tierra de los vivientes.</p><p><span>10Yo cre&#237;a, </span><em>aun</em><span> cuando dec&#237;a:</span></p><p>&#171;Estoy muy afligido&#187;.</p><p>11Dije alarmado:</p><p>&#171;Todo hombre es mentiroso&#187;.</p><p>12&#182;&#191;Qu&#233; dar&#233; al Se&#241;or</p><p>Por todos Sus beneficios para conmigo?</p><p>13Alzar&#233; la copa de la salvaci&#243;n,</p><p>E invocar&#233; el nombre del Se&#241;or.</p><p>14Cumplir&#233; mis votos al Se&#241;or,</p><p>S&#237;, en presencia de todo Su pueblo.</p><p>15Estimada a los ojos del Se&#241;or</p><p>Es la muerte de Sus santos.</p><p>16&#161;Ah, Se&#241;or!

pero una sabidur&#237;a no de este siglo, ni de los gobernantes de este siglo, que van desapareciendo, 7sino que hablamos sabidur&#237;a de Dios en misterio, la </span><em>sabidur&#237;a</em><span> oculta que, desde antes de los siglos, Dios predestin&#243; para nuestra gloria. 8</span><em>Esta sabidur&#237;a</em><span> que ninguno de los gobernantes de este siglo ha entendido, porque si la hubieran entendido no habr&#237;an crucificado al Se&#241;or de gloria; 9sino como est&#225; escrito:</span></p><p>&#171;Cosas que ojo no vio, ni o&#237;do oy&#243;,</p><p>Ni han entrado al coraz&#243;n del hombre,</p><p><em>Son</em><span> las cosas que Dios ha preparado para los que lo aman&#187;.</span></p><p><span>10Pero Dios nos </span><em>las</em><span> revel&#243; por medio del Esp&#237;ritu, porque el Esp&#237;ritu todo lo escudri&#241;a, aun las profundidades de Dios. 11Porque entre los hombres, &#191;qui&#233;n conoce los </span><em>pensamientos</em><span> de un hombre, sino el esp&#237;ritu del hombre que est&#225; en &#233;l? Asimismo, nadie conoce los </span><em>pensamientos</em><span> de Dios, sino el Esp&#237;ritu de Dios. 12Y nosotros hemos recibido, no el esp&#237;ritu del mundo, sino el Esp&#237;ritu que viene de Dios, para que conozcamos lo que Dios nos ha dado gratuitamente, 13de lo cual tambi&#233;n hablamos, no con palabras ense&#241;adas por sabidur&#237;a humana, sino con las ense&#241;adas por el Esp&#237;ritu, combinando </span><em>pensamientos</em><span> espirituales con </span><em>palabras</em><span> espirituales.</span></p><p><span>14Pero el hombre natural no acepta las cosas del Esp&#237;ritu de Dios, porque para &#233;l son necedad; y no las puede entender, porque </span><em>son cosas que</em><span> se disciernen espiritualmente. 15En cambio, el que es espiritual juzga todas las cosas; pero &#233;l no es juzgado por nadie. 16Porque &#191;qui&#233;n ha conocido la mente del Se&#241;or, para que lo instruya? Pero nosotros tenemos la mente de Cristo.</span></p><h1>English Standard Version</h1><p>Pastor&#8217;s Note:</p><p><span>Today in </span><a href="https://ref.ly/Ps%20116;we?t=fl">Psalm 116 we</a><span> see that we love God for many reasons, beyond the obvious and profound. Often our love for God is boosted and enhanced by the practical and specific things he providentially provides for us. Let us not be reluctant to &#8220;count our blessings&#8221; as mundane and personal as they may seem to us. Let them fuel our worship today. In </span><a href="https://ref.ly/1%20Cor%202;we?t=fl">1 Corinthians 2 we</a><span> see how easily impressed the Corinthians were with the world&#8217;s wisdom, yet how important it is that Christians

a los de la casa de Est&#233;fanas; por lo dem&#225;s, no s&#233; si bautic&#233; a alg&#250;n otro. 17Pues Cristo no me envi&#243; a bautizar, sino a predicar el evangelio, no con palabras elocuentes, para que no se haga vana la cruz de Cristo.</p><p><em><strong>Cristo, poder de Dios</strong></em></p><p>18Porque la palabra de la cruz es necedad para los que se pierden, pero para nosotros los salvos es poder de Dios. 19Porque est&#225; escrito:</p><p>&#171;Destruir&#233; la sabidur&#237;a de los sabios,</p><p>Y el entendimiento de los inteligentes desechar&#233;&#187;.</p><p><span>20&#191;D&#243;nde est&#225; el sabio? &#191;D&#243;nde est&#225;

a Dios por medio de </span><em>su propia</em><span> sabidur&#237;a, agrad&#243; a Dios mediante la necedad de la predicaci&#243;n salvar a los que creen. 22Porque en verdad los jud&#237;os piden se&#241;ales y los griegos buscan sabidur&#237;a; 23pero nosotros predicamos a Cristo crucificado, piedra de tropiezo para los jud&#237;os, y necedad para los gentiles. 24Sin embargo, para los llamados, tanto jud&#237;os como griegos, Cristo </span><em>es</em><span> poder de Dios y sabidur&#237;a de Dios. 25Porque la necedad de Dios es m&#225;s sabia que los hombres, y la debilidad de Dios es m&#225;s fuerte que los hombres.</span></p><p><em><strong>Cristo, sabidur&#237;a de Dios</strong></em></p><p>26Pues consideren, hermanos, su llamamiento. No hubo muchos sabios conforme a la carne, ni muchos poderosos, ni muchos nobles. 27Sino que Dios ha escogido lo necio del mundo para avergonzar a los sabios; y Dios ha escogido lo d&#233;bil del mundo para avergonzar a lo que es fuerte. 28Tambi&#233;n Dios ha escogido lo vil y despreciado del mundo: lo que no es, para anular lo que es, 29para que nadie se jacte delante de Dios.</p><p>30Pero por obra Suya est&#225;n ustedes en Cristo Jes&#250;s, el cual se hizo para nosotros sabidur&#237;a de Dios, y justificaci&#243;n, santificaci&#243;n y redenci&#243;n, 31para que, tal como est&#225; escrito: &#171;El que se glor&#237;a, que se glor&#237;e en el Se&#241;or&#187;.</p><h1>English Standard Version</h1><p>Pastor&#8217;s Note:</p><p>Psalm 112 begins with a truth so often lost in today&#8217;s world of shallow theology and trite Christianity &#8211; namely, that God blesses those who fear him.

or &#8220;I follow Apollos,&#8221; or &#8220;I follow Cephas,&#8221; or &#8220;I follow Christ.&#8221; 13 Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul? 14 I thank God that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius, 15 so that no one may say that you were baptized in my name. 16 (I did baptize also the household of Stephanas. Beyond that, I do not know whether I baptized anyone else.) 17 For Christ did not send me to baptize but to preach the gospel, and not with words of eloquent wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power.</span></p><p>Christ the Wisdom and Power of God</p><p>18 For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 19 For it is written,</p><p><span>&#8220;I will destroy the wisdom of the wise,</span><br><span>and the discernment of the discerning I will thwart.&#8221;</span></p><p>20 Where is the one who is wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? 21 For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom, it pleased God through the folly of what we preach to save those who believe. 22 For Jews demand signs and Greeks seek wisdom, 23 but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles, 24 but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. 25 For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.</p><p><span>26 For consider your calling, brothers: not many of you were wise according to worldly standards, </span><a href="http://www.gnpcb.org/esv/mobile/devotions/through.the.bible/?date=2025-08-19#f4">[4]</a><span> not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth. 27 But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong; 28 God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are, 29 so that no human being </span><a href="http://www.gnpcb.org/esv/mobile/devotions/through.the.bible/?date=2025-08-19#f5">[5]</a><span> might boast in the presence of God. 30 And because of him </span><a href="http://www.gnpcb.org/esv/mobile/devotions/through.the.bible/?date=2025-08-19#f6">[6]</a><span>you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, righteousness and sanctification and redemption, 31 so that, as it is written, &#8220;Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.&#8221;</span></p></blockquote>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[August 18 Lectura BIBLICA Del Dia/Daily Bible Reading ]]></title><description><![CDATA[Nota del Pastor:]]></description><link>https://harveynunez.substack.com/p/august-18-lectura-biblica-del-diadaily</link><guid isPermaLink="false">https://harveynunez.substack.com/p/august-18-lectura-biblica-del-diadaily</guid><pubDate>Tue, 18 Aug 2026 04:16:17 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/31a0a52f-b220-4380-9d0a-1d45f051c630_1920x1080.png" length="0" type="image/jpeg"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote><p>Nota del Pastor:</p><p>En el Salmo 109 volvemos a un tema com&#250;n en todos los Salmos: los justos claman por justicia ante las injusticias.
