1 Kings 17:8-16 (17-24) As Elijah comes out of the wilderness, he is a wild mess of a man. He must have been a sight to see, fearful and intimidating, for Elijah has to assure the widow of Zaraphath with the words, “Do not be afraid,” as he petitions her for sustenance in a demanding…
1 Reyes 18:20-39 Uno de los hilos conductores de las lecciones para hoy no es tanto “¿Quién es Dios?”, Como “¿Quién (o qué) no es Dios?” Los profetas de Baal son actores secundarios en esta historia, para mostrar la futilidad de llamar a aquellos seres quienes “por naturaleza no son dioses” (en las palabras de…
1 Kings 18:20-39 One of the threads running through the lessons for today is not so much “Who is God?” as “Who (or what) is not God?” The prophets of Baal are character actors in this story, cast to show the utter futility of calling on those beings who “by nature are no gods” (in the words…
Proverbios 8:1-4, 22-31 La sabiduría, personificada como una mujer, se presenta como la primera creación del Señor antes del principio del mundo. Mientras que los Proverbios hicieron hincapié en la accesibilidad de la Sabiduría (¡a diferencia de Job!) para vivir con rectitud, más tarde los escritores judíos entendían la sabiduría como la Torá (véase Sirácida…
Proverbs 8:1-4, 22-31 Wisdom, personified as a woman, is portrayed as the first of the Lord’s creation before the beginning of the world. While Proverbs emphasized the accessibility of Wisdom (in contrast to Job!) for righteous living, later Jewish writers understood Wisdom as the Torah (see Sirach 24) and as an “emanation of the glory…
Hechos 2:1-21 Cuando lleguemos a Pentecostés, es tentador centrarse sólo en el Espíritu que desciende y descansa sobre los Apóstoles. Esta larga y sustanciosa lectura parece suplicar por algo más que una recitación de cómo el Espíritu descansó sobre los Apóstoles y cómo se apoya en nosotros en la iglesia. Hay dos pasajes que llaman…
Acts 2:1-21 When we get to Pentecost, it’s tempting to just focus on the Spirit coming down and resting on the Apostles. This lengthy and meaty reading seems to beg for more than just a recitation of how the Spirit rested on the Apostles and how it rests on us in the church. There are…
Acts 16:16-34 Immediately upon reading this story from the book of Acts, I am struck by the language of the apostles in this story. The apostles encounter a woman who is in a sort of trance-like state and speak to the spirit that is in her, commanding it to come out of her. They are…
Hechos 16:16-34 Inmediatamente después de leer esta historia del libro de Hechos, me llama la atención el lenguaje de los apóstoles en esta historia. Los apóstoles se encuentran con una mujer que está en una especie de estado de trance y ellos hablan con el espíritu que hay en ella, ordenándole que saliera de ella….
Acts 16:9-15 My wife and I once enjoyed a relaxing weekend in Port Townsend, Washington. As we roamed the town, we came upon an outdoor yard sale at the house of four young adults who lived together. The next thing we knew, we were playing croquet with them; we stayed for several hours! Had we…
