¿Y si Cristo viniera hoy?

¿Si Cristo llegara el día de hoy por su iglesia? ¿Dónde estás iglesia mía? ¿Dónde está mi amada?

¿Qué contestaría la iglesia?

Tuve miedo y me escondí, porque sé que eres señor severo, que ciegas donde no sembraste y recoges donde no esparciste.

No es día de escondernos, es día de salir a la calle y declarar públicamente: ¡Nosotros no temeremos, aunque un ejército acampe contra nosotros!

Christian Nudism: A Childhood Anecdote

Today, I'm starting a new entry in my personal blog about Christian nudism. In previous posts, I mentioned that Christian nudism isn't really that important. What I mean is that it's not a new doctrine, and it's not for everyone. But for some reason, it is important to me. To clarify why I consider it significant, I'll share a childhood anecdote that I call "the day I lost my innocence." Perhaps some of you can identify with this memory. It was a sweltering summer day. I don't recall how old I was, but it's one of my earliest conscious memories. I estimate I was under five years old, maybe four. I was at home, and it was bath time. I wasn't fond of bathing; in fact, I avoided it whenever possible. But my mother had a strategy to make it more enjoyable. She knew I loved playing with toy boats, so she'd place them in the bathtub, making bath time more bearable. On that particular day, there were many children in the living room. They weren...

Do not be ashamed to bear witness to our Lord.

Do not be ashamed to bear witness to our Lord. Thus Paul recommended Timothy not to be ashamed to bear witness to the Gospel. And we Christians are set to be a living testimony of ALL God's works, so shame does not help much. “A light is not turned on and placed under a bushel, but on the lampstand, and it illuminates all who are at home.” (Matthew 5:15) Something that seems too strange to me is the omissions that we, as Christians, have made in instructing about this bad feeling called "shame." There will even be those who say that shame is a positive feeling, and what evil do those who are not ashamed. What is shame? First, it is a very powerful feeling. It looks like fear, but it is something else. It is mentioned for the first time in the book of Genesis 2:25: "Both the man and his wife were naked, but neither was ashamed to be like this." I don't know about you, but it seems to me that it must have been nice to be without shame. But this ideal st...

Pornografía vs. Naturismo

Ya sea que creas en las teorías evolucionistas o en el relato bíblico, es claro que en algún momento de la humanidad decidimos ocultar partes del cuerpo. Cuanto más moralista es la cultura, más se busca esconder. Esta ocultación ha ido más allá de la simple privacidad, convirtiéndose en una regla social impuesta, donde la desnudez es vista con incomodidad o vergüenza. Sin embargo, este mismo impulso de ocultar lo "prohibido" ha despertado una curiosidad inherente en el ser humano. Lo que no podemos ver o lo que está restringido se vuelve inmediatamente deseable, y en una sociedad gobernada por el consumo y la mercadotecnia, este deseo es una oportunidad de explotación. Así surge la industria de la pornografía. Lo que inicialmente era un tabú social se transformó en una poderosa herramienta de lucro. Actualmente, la pornografía es una de las industrias más lucrativas a nivel global, con un valor de mercado que se estima entre los 90 y 100 mil millones de dólares anuales. Esta...
