The Christian Life, The Received Life: An Interview with Pastor Jeff Poppinga

To what could we compare the Christian life? Is it a competition? Is it a battle? Is it about striving or achieving? Though these are possible metaphors for certain elements of the Christian life, it may surprise you to note that overall Christian living is founded on rest. This is a lesson Pastor Jeff Poppinga has learned through the refining process of his own Christian life. Listen in as he teaches a glimpse of what he has been taught by God's refining fire. You may just grasp what the Psalmist learned when he wrote, "Stop striving and know that I am God" (Psalm 46:10)Support the show

Bible (Reina Valera) 18: Job by Reina-Valera LibriVox Considerado tanto una obra maestra teológica como literaria, el libro de Job es una discusión honesta de por qué Dios permite que la gente buena sufra. La prueba de la fe de Job, permitida por Dios en respuesta a un desafío de Satanás, reveló la soberanía amorosa de Dios y la supremacía de la sabiduría divina sobre la sabiduría humana (personificada por los cuatro amigos de Job). Creyendo que Dios es bueno a pesar de la aparente evidencia de lo contrario, Job descansó sólo en la fe. En lo más profundo de la agonía, aún podía proclamar: “Sé que mi Redentor vive” (19:25). Al final, Dios silenció todas las discusiones con la verdad de que solo Él es sabio (capítulos 38-41). Sin embargo, reivindicó la confianza de Job en él (capítulo 42), demostrando que la fe genuina no puede ser destruida. El libro fue escrito por un escritor desconocido (probablemente israelita) entre 2000 y 500 a.
