We learn from the Apostle Paul in Colossians 1:13-14: "For He has rescued us from the dominion of darkness, and brought us into the kingdom of the Son Who He loves, in Whom we have redemption." Christians have grown far too content living in a lost, secular society. The time for change, real change, is now.
The Bible also teaches in I Corinthians 13:12 that all Christians look in a mirror darkly, obscuring their understanding of spiritual reality. Sadly, Christians today often intensify their own misunderstandings of the Bible by confusing secular teachings with God's truth. They rely on the personal interpretations of others, grasping at philosophies which they believe have successfully impacted their lives. Although many are professing Christians, their faith often rests on a patchwork of personal successes, thereby denying the loving, yet disciplining, hand of God.
Even so, God has allowed His faithful to see His spiritual protection as seen in II Kings 6: 15-17. Elisha asks God to reveal to his servant God’s protection even though both Elisha and his servant were completely surrounded by a warring enemy. God opened the eyes of the servant, “ ... and he looked and he saw the hills full of horses and chariots of fire around Elisha.” Both Elisha and his servant were surrounded by an unseen, yet protective, army of God’s angels!
Christians today need to see this same protection by God - not as a result of their own experiences, but by faith. Now we look into a mirror dimly, seeing only ourselves. We choose to admire the image, seeing at best a broken reflection of personal desires, needs, and goals. But as God wills, He removes the “reflective lining” in the mirror, and the mirror becomes a window for us to see the outside world. Christians now see the needs of others! In the Bible's book of James, the same emphasis is recorded. Soon our focus shifts away from us to others – the Way God intended it to be. It’s Biblical, and it's The Christian Way!
Christians have been absorbed by a world system rather than setting themselves apart in that world. Having lost their willingness to share Christ or even recognize the Biblical mandate to do so, many Christians not only need to learn how to share their faith, but why. Bible Pathway's website addresses these concerns and much more!

about the spanish translator
Javier Moreno and his wife, Norma, have four children: Pulina 12, Mariana 10, Pablo 6, and Abigail 21 months. They moved to Murfreesboro, Tennessee, USA in August of 1994. Originally they lived in Guadalajara, Mexico. Javier writes:
Our chidren were born in America. My first job in Murfreesboro was in an American restaurant. After three years, I began working in a Mexican restaurant. Currently, I work in construction and by Grace serve the Lord.
It was there at the Mexican restaurant that my life changed. By the Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, my life was not the same. My heart was broken by God. He called me to serve Him and give Him glory and honor through my life! There are so many things beyond my understanding; yet I know this, I must learn to love and be in God's will. I know that I'm responsible for what I do and don't do for Jesus in my life. May I always faithfully serve Him.
I love to share the Word of God. There is a Spanish group which I meet with weekly. We are truly growing in the Lord.
As I began my Chrisian life, God gave us the opportunity to go to Guadalajara to share the Gospel. I thank God that my whole family has received the Lord and has been baptized. There is so much I could say how God has blessed me. But there is not enough space for me to tell you. Thanks be to God for His eternal love in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ!
