Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. Romans 12:15 (ESV) A phrase I learned in my childhood is, "Life gives nothing for free." This is a truth for some and a misconception for others. Everyone will interpret it according to the situations or opportunities in their lives. Those who agree are the ones who work hard to succeed or who struggle to maintain balance in their lives. But those who disagree are the ones who have almost everything at their disposal o

Teach us to realize the brevity of life, so that we may grow in wisdom. Psalm 90:12 (NTL) After her marriage, a young woman went to live with her husband in another city, far from her mother and her hometown. This didn't prevent her from maintaining a close relationship with her mother. She called her regularly, sent her gifts for her birthday, and flowers for holidays. Between her children and her full-time job, she was very busy. One day, her husband called her to announce

As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in Him. Colossians 2:6 (KJV) I remember, when I was little, a man came to deliver a package for my mother. Since she wasn't there, I decided to receive it for her. The man told me it was important. And since important doesn't mean fragile, I placed it on the dining room table. My brother, who didn't know what the package contained, nudged it slightly. But, accidentally, he pushed it a little too hard, the package

Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. 2 Corinthians 9:6 (NIV) Since childhood, a young boy had been used to seeing a woman sitting at the foot of a lamppost, begging. One day, as he was going to church with his mother, he asked her why the woman was always sitting in the same place, asking passersby for alms. His mother explained that she was homeless and couldn't work because of her very poor ey

With each new year, a new chapter of your life unfolds. Even if you don't always perceive it, you are evolving at the same time. Your wish is to fulfill the dreams you have nurtured over the years and to embark on new projects. At Promogos Radio, we share these same aspirations and wish to see them come to fruition. If we can continue to move forward and love what we do, it is thanks to you, who support us and appreciate reading the articles published on our morning meditatio

Then Jesus told His disciples, “If any man would come after Me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me. Matthew 16:24 (RSV) Raised in a neighborhood church where everyone knew each other, a young man decided to become a pastor for that same church. After graduating from seminary, the leaders of his school offered him an associate pastor position at a large church in another city, which would have allowed him to gain knowledge and experience in pastoral minis

And I will put My Spirit in you and move you to follow My decrees and be careful to keep My laws. Ezekiel 36:27 (NIV) During a couple's therapy session, a young man confided in me that his marriage was going well despite the difficulties, but his only problem was that he had done everything he could to grow in his faith and be the spiritual leader of his family. Unfortunately, this was the one area where he couldn't seem to make progress. When I asked him what he had done, he

And they, having become callous, have given themselves up to indecent behavior for the practice of every kind of impurity with greediness. Ephesians 4:19 (NASB) Often, some Christians think that spirituality depends on how others perceive or describe them. If they are told, "Here is a man or woman of God, filled with the Spirit," they consider themselves as such and continue to lead a life different from what others perceive, a life contrary to God's will. But what they don't

Being filled with the fruits of righteousness which are by Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God. Philippians 1:11 (NKJV) After nine months of unemployment, discouraged and anxious, a young married man went to see a friend to explain his situation, hoping she could recommend him to one of her contacts. Eager to help him, his friend told him that a position was available at the company where she worked. However, for her to recommend him and for him to be hired, he would

The voice of one crying in the wilderness: "Prepare the way of the Lord; Make His paths straight." Mark 1:3 (NKJV) It is not without reason that God chose to send a prophet in Jesus' time to announce His coming. For while the prophets of old spoke of a child who was to be born, they were not yet ready to receive Him. God chose a close relative, Elizabeth, to bear the child who would become the prophet preceding Jesus and preparing the way for His ministry. When Mary visited E

See, the virgin will become pregnantand give birth to a son,and they will name him Immanuel, which is translated “God is with us.” Matthew 1:23 (CSB) Today, when a parent names their child, it's perhaps because they like the name or because someone they admire or who has done them good bears that name. It's therefore a name chosen somewhat randomly. In the time of the New Testament, naming a child was not a matter of chance. The name had to correspond to a family reality or

Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel. Isaiah 7:14 (NKJV) God never fails to keep His promises. Even when we fail to obey Him and live according to His precepts, He remains faithful and does not go back on His word. The people of Israel, whom He had chosen to be His people, were unable to live according to God's precepts. They were the only people to benefit from God's favor and enjo

When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy? Job 38:7 (LSB) We often tend to view our misfortunes as abandonment by God. We want to believe that He doesn't hear us or that He neglects us. But, in reality, this is false. It's a survival instinct that drives us to seek a reason to justify our suffering before God, hoping that He will have pity on us. The mistake we make is believing that our emotional attitude can influence God's mood. Thus, if

And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses. Colossians 2:13 (NKJV) Imagine you've rear-ended someone's car, someone whose social status you don't know. You're at fault, the person calls the police to file a report, and the police officer declares you guilty. Imagine this isn't the first time this has happened to you, and you have several unpaid traffic tickets. Not only d

Now we will be saved from our enemies and from all who hate us. Luke 1:71 (NLT) We live in a time when hatred is becoming commonplace. Your neighbor might hate you simply because they don't like the way you dress or because you work for a company where they would like to get a job. Hatred creates enemies, even without a valid reason. Given the state of the world, some may decide to destroy the lives of others to take their place. Fortunately, those who have placed their trust
