EL DESPRESTIGIO DE UN MINISTRO SOLTERO

EL DESPRESTIGIO DE UN MINISTRO SOLTERO
Es bastante relevante el poder discutir un tema como este. A travez de algunos años es muy interesante notar en las escuelas de predicación la respuesta que los jóvenes están teniendo con respecto al deseo de predicar la palabra de Dios por el resto de sus vidas. Así, un promedio de 80% de cada generación en los programas de nuestras escuelas Bíblicas, son jóvenes de entre los 18 a los 40 años de edad. Quisiéramos ser muy sinceros y al mismo tiempo poder hablar donde la palabra divina habla y callar cuando ella calla, pero es muy probable que estas lineas sean vistas con recelo por parte de algunos y como aliciente para de otros. 

Un ministro de Dios es un ministro con o sin esposa.

Un ministro de Dios es un ministro con o sin esposa.

Un ministro de Dios es un ministro con o sin esposa, ya que en las escrituras no se presenta esto como un requisito, más que para los ancianos y diáconos (1Tim 3). Cada predicador del evangelio que está casado su esposa es un ayudante para él y su ministerio (Gn 3), porque esto es lo que Dios tenía en mente desde el inicio, traer a Adán una ayuda idónea, que le fuese útil para cumplir sus responsabilidades que debía de llevar a cabo para con Dios. Tampoco lo anterior debe de ser malinterpretado, la esposa no es solo un ayudante sino que ambos son  una sola carne y la exhortación a los esposos es a tratarlas como vaso más frágil (1Pd.3:7).
Los ministros Cristianos jóvenes sufren un desprestigio al no estar casados por un sin numero de razones. Algunos realmente han olvidado las escrituras o han ignorado deliberadamente lo que la palabra de Dios revela en cuanto al tema. Es realmente un problema cuando hermanos en Cristo piensan haber alcanzado la madurez necesaria o la experiencia requerida para emitir sus propios consejos tanto como si fueran palabra de Dios. Es realmente perturbador encontrar iglesias que dicen: “Bueno, para que usted pueda ser nuestro evangelista local, la única condición que tenemos es que esté casado”. Entonces si Pablo mismo quisiera llegar tal congregación ¿le pondrían la misma condición? -Alguien puede alegar; “Oh…pero Pablo era apóstol, esas son palabras mayores” tal expresión amigo mío está fuera de lugar y sin sentido. El hecho de que un ministro esté soltero no significa que el tal lo será para siempre. El matrimonio es algo sagrado, algo bueno algo puro (Heb.13:4), pero todo tiene su tiempo debajo del Sol (Ecl.3).Adam Clark en su comentario a las cartas de Timoteo anota de que Timoteo pudo estar rondando los 30-40 años de edad, ya que aún con esos años en cima, la cultura Judía les consideraba jóvenes, así que es todavía más interesante prestarte atención a las palabras de Pablo cuando escribe: “Ninguno tenga en poco tu juventud, sino sé ejemplo de los creyentes en palabra, conducta, amor, espíritu, fe y pureza.” (1Tm.4:12). ¿Cual habrá sido la razón por la Pablo exhorta a este joven de 40 a no dejarse menospreciar por nadie? Es probable que el contexto en el 1:19-20 de la misma carta nos alumbren un poco más. Al parecer habían algunos hermanos en Efeso que no estaban contentos con el trabajo del hermano Timoteo, estos tenían falsas enseñanzas y esta es la manzana de la discordia. Para algunos hermanos no existe nada más denigrante y humillante, que un hermano inferior en edad, les diga que han estado equivocados y muchísimo menos que les demuestre con firmeza su error. Sabe algo la gran mayoría de las veces que este punto es criticado por la gente de edad avanzada es casi sin excepción que han sido confrontados en la doctrina y en vez de con humildad arrepentirse y cambiar es cuando comienzan los ataques hacia esa dirección. Pablo exhorta entonces “Ninguno…tenga en poco tu juventud”. Amigo lector es un error observar al mensajero y no el mensaje, en el pasado incluso Dios utilizó un burro para transmitir su voluntad, utilizó también naciones paganas que adoraban a dioses paganos tales como Babilonia, Asiria etc…enseñando así tremendas lecciones de su soberanía al pueblo de Israel. Nosotros necesitamos aprender la misma lección hoy.
Las criticas no son algo de hoy, el mismo Pablo fue cuestionado y acorralado en cuento a este punto. Observe su enérgica defensa, el dice: “¿No tenemos derecho de traer con nosotros una hermana por mujer como también los otros apóstoles, y los hermanos del Señor, y Cefas?” (1Co.9:5) ¡Oh pero por supuesto que sí!, nada le impedía casarse pero no hacerlo tampoco era algo incorrecto. Las ocupaciones de Pablo sus viajes y su misión hacia difícil que adquiera un compromiso tan importante como lo es el matrimonio aunque los demás apóstoles si lo habían hecho.  Algunas veces es mucho mejor esperar y esperar y esperar y seguir esperando hasta poder encontrar la esposa ideal para que sea la ayuda idónea en este trabajo tan sublime. Muchos han sido los divorcios y muchos hermanos han dejado el ministerio por causa de sus esposas que no fueron una buena influencia. La presión y el desprestigio hacia un ministro soltero puede llevar a tomar las desiciones equivocadas y pagar las consecuencias después. En el Nuevo Testamento leemos de varios evangelistas pero Timoteo y Tito que sin lugar a dudas sobresalen con particularidad, siendo muy probablemente solteros. La próxima vez que usted se vea tentado en criticar a un ministro solamente porque es soltero por favor le ruego ponga el nombre “Jesús” en su mente. Cristo no estuvo casado, una de las razones principales fue porque tenía una misión muy especifica que cumplir pero fue hombre 100% al igual que fue ministro 100% …un ministro soltero. Las más grandes enseñanzas, recomendaciones y consejos  en cuanto a matrimonio, divorcio y segundas nupcias en el N.T fueron dadas por Pedro, Pablo y Cristo 2 de 3 fueron solteros aunque obviamente inspirados. El desprestigio hacia los ministros solteros pueden llevar a la decepción a cualquier hermano, mejor anímelos, consuele y ayúdeles, estoy seguro ellos jamás olvidarán eso.

The Glory of the Lord

We Saw the Word and Beheld His Glory

And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth” (John 1:14). There is so much more in this verse than the average reader of the Bible may see. This is likely because we fail to notice the uses of the expression, “the glory of the Lord,” in the Old Testament.

Where do you find the Glory of the Lord?

Where do you find the Glory of the Lord?

The Glory of the Lord in the OT

When the children of Israel left Egypt and arrived at Mt. Sinai, they saw a visible manifestation of the glory of Jehovah. “And the glory of the Lord abode upon mount Sinai…and the sight of the glory of the Lord was like devouring fire on the top of the mount” (Ex. 24:16-17).

While at that mount they built the tabernacle and before it was ever used God hallowed it with His presence. “Then a cloud covered the tent of the congregation, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle” (Ex. 40:34). Almost five hundred years later the tabernacle (a tent) was replaced with Solomon’s majestic temple. Read the Divine record of what happened as the temple was sanctified. “Now when Solomon had made an end of praying, the fire came down from heaven, and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices; and the glory of the Lord filled the house. And the priests could not enter into the house of the LORD, because the glory of the Lord had filled the Lord’s house” (2 Chron. 7:1-2).

Two Shining Faces and the Glory of the Lord

Think about the events preceding Moses wearing the veil at Mt. Sinai. In Exodus 33, Moses asked the Lord, “Please show me Your glory.” The next day Moses ascended Mt. Sinai with two tablets of stone and was protected by the hand of the Lord while His glory passed by. He had been in the very presence of God and the result was seen in his shining face.

The events on Mt. Sinai shed light on what happened at another mount, the mount of Jesus’ transfiguration. On that mountain, His face began to shine like the sun, and His garments became radiant and exceedingly white. The three apostles who were with Him “…were heavy with sleep; and when they were fully awake they saw His glory” (Luke 9:32). His transfiguration was an affirmation of His Deity.

It was not just on this mount where His glory was seen. It was visible in all He did. Paul said, “For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily” (Col. 2:9). He was “…the brightness of His glory and express image of His person” (Heb. 1:3). Jesus said, “He who has seen Me has seen the Father” (John 14:9). Behold Him! See His glory! (More next week).

Be Authentic

Be Authentic

Authenticity is a big buzz-word in our culture today.  We want people to be authentic—to be their true selves—and not to string us along with some contrived identity for some less-than-noble purpose.  The Bible doesn’t use the word “authentic,” but it does use the word “sincere” and often “authentic” is what the Bible means by the word.  Paul prayed that the church at Philippi would grow so that they could be sincere (Philippians 1:9-10).  The Greek word for “sincere” means to judge by sunlight, or sift by rolling.  The result of the process is purity, and sincerity is purity of person.

Is your life authentic?

Is your life authentic?

An authentic person who is not a Christian maintains some kind of identity.  However, one’s identity can and does change during life. One typically becomes what one desires to be.  We are not born with a fixed identity.  The standard of what is right and wrong is not inside of us (Jeremiah 10:23).  Many make the mistake that authenticity is equivalent to goodness; it isn’t.Authenticity is necessary, but not sufficient.

We need Christ in our life because with Christ we can be both authentic and righteous.  We accept Christ as our identity by being baptized into His body (Romans 6:1-11).  When we do this, not only do we find identity for ourselves, but we are restored to what God intended us to be as authentic humans.  Many other identities will compete with our Christian identity and challenge us, but as long as we are faithful, we will return to the Shepherd and Overseer of our souls (1 Peter 2:25).  Being authentic means that we are true to our identity and we don’t try to be something that we are not. Ultimately, that human identity is found in Christ.  God bless you, and I love you.

Preach! It’s a Matter of Eternal Life and Death

Personal Evangelism – A Matter Of Eternal Life… & Death!

A few years ago, brother Phil Sanders of In Search of the Lord’s Way (http://www.searchtv.org), wrote the following in their monthly newsletter: “The churches of Christ have declined in recent years. We are losing more than 8,000 members and about 50 churches every year… As you can see, we have much to do to take the gospel to the lost. The world has always been worldly and deceived by false religion. We must do all we can to preach the truth in love, so that by all means we might save some.” Such congregational graying, shrinkage, losses and spiritual fatalities certainly come as no surprise to most of us.

Preach!  Proclaim!  The Old Paths aren't being shared and it shows.

Preach! Proclaim! The Old Paths aren’t being shared and it shows.

The Waldron Newsletter (Vol. 49; #8) for Aug. 2015 also confirmed: “According to the 2015 edition of Churches of Christ In The United States, there were 13,155 congregations in 2003, w/1,656,495 adherents.” It then went on to report how, over the next dozen years, the Lord’s church experienced a 6.5% overall loss in the number of congregations, and an 8.3% overall drop in the number of adherents (or 136,800 precious and priceless souls lost) over that same twelve year time period.

But perhaps the most stunning point of that entire article was the revelation that, “Thirty five years ago, we and the Mormons were about the same size…” But while we stood at approximately 1.5 million members (when that article was written in 2015), Waldron reported that “they are four times as large as we” – with a whopping, reported, 6.2 million members at that same time! How does that even happen?!? Especially when so many of their doctrines are so far askew from anything even vaguely resembling biblical truth as to be absolutely ridiculous in the first place?!? The answer (according to Waldron), was that they grew like that “…because of leg work, the riding of bicycles and the pounding of pavements.” In other words, because of each individual member, doing their own individual part, in personally spreading their message. So why don’t we, who speak “as the oracles of God” (1 Peter 4:11) and who claim to proclaim the ‘book, chapter, and verse’ gospel truth as our only message (2 Timothy 3:14-4:2; Jude 3), make an even more diligent, devoted, personal and individual effort to share that daily?

Perhaps It Is Because We Choose To Fool Ourselves When It Comes To The How And Who Of Personal Evangelism: Contrary to popular opinion, simply inviting someone to church (presumably so that the paid ‘professional’ preacher can then take over and do all the necessary teaching) is not really engaging in personal evangelism by any biblical stretch or definition. The fact is that you can search from one end of the New Testament to the other, and you will never once, ever find, where any Christian ever invited any lost soul to the worship assembly of the church so that they might possibly be converted – ever. Just like the so-called ‘Sinner’s Prayer for Salvation,’ it simply isn’t there anywhere in the Scriptures. (And so the question is, if we don’t believe in the ‘Sinner’s Prayer for Salvation’ simply because it is never found in the Scriptures anywhere, then how can we possibly insist on such a pattern for evangelism as inviting lost people to church to be converted when that isn’t ever even found once therein either?)

But the first-century church, despite no member ever being recorded as having invited any lost soul to the worship assembly of the church so that they could be taught and converted, and despite epic life and death persecution on a scale which we cannot even scarcely begin to imagine, still grew like wildfire! How on earth did they do it? What is the divinely-inspired blueprint and biblical pattern for achieving such? Well here it is:

1. When we read Acts 3:1-4:4, we see that Peter did not invite the intrigued masses to church the following Sunday to hear the word of God, but took full advantage of, and seized the moment to teach them the truth of the gospel right then and there on the spot… and church growth exploded!

2. When we read Acts 5:42-6:2, we see that lost sinners were not being invited to church to be converted, but were receiving life and soul saving instruction from the word of God right there on the spot, daily… and church growth exploded!

3. When we read Acts 7:58-8:12 and 11:19-26, we note that it was not the ‘professional’ preachers (the apostles) who were scattered by the persecution and yet still preached the word everywhere they went, but everyday Christians like you and I… and church growth exploded!

4. And whether we talk about Phillip and the Ethiopian Eunuch (Acts 8:26-40); Peter in the house of Cornelius (Acts 10:1-48); or the Apostle Paul with Lydia (Acts 16:10-15), the jailor (Acts 16:25-34), or Crispus the synagogue ruler (Acts 18:4-11), we see the same, exact, distinct pattern of evangelism and conversions: No one was ever invited to church the next Sunday to hear the word, but were taught by individual members, right then and there on the spot …and the number of conversions and church growth exploded!

The way in which we often choose to fool ourselves when it comes to who is actually responsible for evangelism, is that seeing as how we put money in the plate to support the evangelist, we deceive ourselves into thinking that we are thereby, somehow totally relieved of our personal responsibility to go and make disciples, as it now all falls to him and the rest of the congregational leadership. WRONG! All Christians – including the elders, deacons, preachers, teachers, newly-converted and pew-warmers alike – all legitimately share the same exact amount of responsibility when it comes to personal evangelism. And while it is true that those in leadership do have one added responsibility when it comes to evangelism, alleviating and taking over each of the other member’s individual responsibility for personally evangelizing is certainly not it! What it is instead, is to make sure they, as the God-given leadership in each congregation, equip each individual saint therein, so that they can then best and most efficiently do their part in contributing to the growth of the congregation (See & study: Ephesians 4:11-16)! Part of the purpose for congregational bible study and the worship assembly of the church is to continually help to equip, empower, energize and encourage the saints to go out and seek and save the lost – not to be the time and place where the lost are invited to come in order to be converted!

This is the eternally-settled, divinely-inspired, biblical pattern, for effective everyday evangelism. Individual, on the spot, personal evangelism is as much a part of the divine pattern for church growth, as individual, on the spot baptism is a vital part of the divine pattern for salvation. The bottom line is simply this: If we want the church to grow now, anywhere near like it grew back then, then we must do what they did then. We Must Stop Simply Inviting People To Church; And Instead, Start Instantly & Individually, Involving Them In An In-Depth Investigation Of The Scriptures With Us Personally, On The Spot, At Every Opportunity! This is how they managed to accomplish such magnificent, astounding, and outstanding evangelistic results in the first century. Each and every member of the church talking about Jesus and teaching the gospel to anyone and everyone they could get to listen to their message! And doing so with a divine sense of love and urgency – in the streets, in the marketplaces, in the prisons, in private homes, from house to house, and on the banks of the rivers, etc. – constantly, consistently, continually, and individually! And it wasn’t just the apostles or ‘professionals.’ It was every saved and grateful member with a mouth and a heart after God who wanted to go to heaven and take others with them! Let’s all join them each and every one and turn this thing around in our generation! Personal Evangelism Is Indeed: A Matter Of Eternal Life & Death!

Talking About Adultery

Your Cheating Heart

Adultery does not start in the bedroom. Oftentimes it starts with a lively conversation or maybe a Facebook exchange. Conversations blossom into flirting. Flirting then takes on a whole new dynamic as personal feelings are shared. Rather than sitting down with a spouse and sharing problems and concerns, individuals spill their guts to a stranger who is quick to console and provide emotional—and eventually physical—support.

Adultery doesn't just happen.

Adultery doesn’t just happen.

I dare say there is not a congregation in the church that has not felt the devastating effects of adultery. Our hearts sink when we hear about yet another couple torn apart by the tentacles of infidelity. Occasionally, the sin is committed with someone outside the church family. Many times, however, a married individual turns to someone within the church family. Multiple families are destroyed as selfish individuals seek their own pleasure and treat their marriages like a doormat. Adultery has affected young and old, rich and poor. We can all identify friends, preachers, deacons, and elders who have turned their lives upside down in search of greener grass. Few consider the lasting damage to their children, their families, the church, and their relationship with God in search of a few moments of physical pleasure. It’s the heat of the moment.

Here’s what I intend on teaching my children about adultery.

I’m going to make an admission that will likely get me into a great deal of trouble: Your mother has more wrinkles and gray hair than the day I asked her to marry me. (I do too for that matter!) But I can honestly say that when I look at your mother today she is more beautiful than the day we married. Many times I will look at her without her knowing and smile from ear to ear at how lucky I am to be married to such a beautiful woman. Your mother has a beauty that radiates from her very soul. I found a Proverbs 31 woman and I rejoice with the wife of my youth (Proverbs 5:18). I pray that one day you will be able to experience a similar feeling.

Marriage is for life. It is the second biggest decision you will make in your lifetime. The vows you make before God, your family, and friends are not to be taken lightly. The way in which you view the opposite sex must change on that day, as you are no longer “looking” for someone. Your search is over—forever! (Matthew 5:27-30).

Your marriage should focus on getting one another to heaven. If you get married and focus on what you “don’t” have, I assure you that your marriage will suffer. Allow me to be blunt for a moment: There will always be someone out there with more physical beauty, talents, or wealth than your spouse. (You are not excluded from this either!) However, always remember that just because the grass may appear greener does not mean it tastes good or doesn’t come with some serious maintenance. It is easy to focus a great deal of importance on physical things when you are young, but physical things will eventually fade away. I want to encourage you to focus on the beautiful grass you have been blessed with and count your blessings every single day.

One wonders how much Solomon knew of his dad’s relationship with Bathsheba. Consider the warning he gave against adultery in Proverbs 5. After describing the immoral woman’s lips as dripping honey and her mouth smoother than oil (vs. 3), he goes on to say, “Remove your way from her. And do not go near the door of her house” (vs. 8). Don’t even place that temptation before you. When one combs through God’s Word and researches the topic of marriage, divorce, and remarriage, the action of infidelity keeps bubbling up as a lynchpin (Matthew 19; 1 Corinthians 7) that—like death—can severe a marriage. It is a sin that was singled out in the Ten Commandments (Exodus 20:14). Guard against it with diligence!

Your mom and I occasionally talk about the reality of adultery. We are smart enough to recognize that the devil is “seeking whom he can devour” (1 Peter 5:8), and that includes the two of us! I am careful not to be alone with any woman other than your mother. I will often talk about my wife and children in front of individuals so they know I am a family man. We know if either of us let our guard down then devastating things could happen. As such, we try to be proactive to ensure that we are never in that position. From basic things like sharing computer passwords to more advanced things like phoning and letting one another know where we are, we are committed to one another (and God!).

I pray that you will “drink water from your own cistern” and work hard to make your mate happy (Proverbs 5:15-20). Read Song of Solomon with your spouse and fulfill one another’s physical needs. Enjoy the intimacy of your marriage and flee temptation. Lastly, my child, never forget the things I have taught you…Proverbs 3:1-6.

Love,

Dad

Having looked into the tearful eyes of parents whose children have abandoned the Faith, I have learned there are a million miles between our children “going through the motions” in reference to their spiritual lives versus our children possessing hearts that dictate their actions. In this column, I plan to share with you what I hope to instill in the hearts of my own children and those whom I love.
