I think what he says at the end is very important: “This fusion of pre-hispanic religious rites and catholic feasts brings together two distinct universes and allows cultural syncretism between indigenous thinking and the idealogical system imported by the Europeans in the 16th Century.”
Jose Pulido depicts all sorts of things using traditional Mexican “calaveras”. His Etsy store has a huge variety of his artwork. Here are a few that represent Star Wars. Since this weekend is the celebration of the Day of the Dead, I thought it would be appropriate to share with you.
We have friends who are moving soon to Ciudad Juarez, where another five women were killed earlier yesterday in a shooting.
All of this causes conflict in my heart and soul. There is no doubt that violence is spreading all over the world. It is certain that Mexico has its dangers. There are many things happening. And it is exactly why the church of Jesus Christ must be present there.
When I write that “It is in the darkest of hours that the light must shine the brightest” I mean that in the deepest of darkness is where the light is most needed. The gospel must shine in the darkness, and the Bible teaches that the light in the dark world is us. That’s why I posted the other link to Matthew 5:16.
“In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.”
Please join me in praying for Mexico. Pray that the true Light will shine in the midst of the darkness, because as Psalm 139:10 says, “Even the darkness is not dark to you (God); the night is bright as the day.” Let us walk close to the light and shine it in the darkness.
Sometimes it is easy to get caught up in the numbers game when it comes to ministries. Seminaries are not immune to this problem. The first few years at the Mexican Baptist Theological Seminary were rough times for the youth ministry program. After having three students enter the first year to study youth ministry, two of them dropped out. Numbers were not what we had hoped. But we’ve learned a lot since then.
This video of Dr. Elmer Towns says it best. He is talking about leading Liberty University to be the largest Christian University in the world and about his thoughts on the greatness of the Seminary. I especially like what he says here (see clip), “The Greatness of a Seminary is not in the number of students you have. The greatness of a Seminary is what they do for God once they graduate.”
I’m excited to see what our graduates do for God after they graduate from the Seminary.
I saw this list on Brigada the other day and thought it would be great to include for those who want to experience more of the Lausanne conference on World Evangelization that just ended in Capetown.
It’s one thing to read an article about it; it’s quite another thing to *experience* it. Now you can! Maybe you can’t literally sit at a Lausanne discussion table, as all 4000 delegates did but you can certainly soak up the content in other ways. Check out the schedule, complete with links for the events that are already documented online with audio or video recordings:
