Deja mi pueblo Leer!

LMPR: Spanish Edition.


You may not understand it, but watch it. It's your typical health and wealth rah-rah sermon in Spanish. There is some English at the end. The movie clip that starts at 1:03 speaks for itself. Compare that to the rah-rah sermon the guy preaches after that. The final section with the Kill Bill theme is a clip of a secular motivational conference. Not much difference from the Christian message played before it. Yep folks, the health and wealth message has infected the Hispanic church. I hope I can somehow help. I like this guys take. He's basically saying it seems like God ran out of ideas so he is borrowing from the world. Poor God! He needs to accept the wisdom of the world to succeed. This is truly different from the picture of God found in 1 Corinthians 1:20 and 21.

Christ the Wisdom and Power of God

18For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 19 For it is written,

"I will destroy the wisdom of the wise,
and the discernment of the discerning I will thwart."

20 Where is the one who is wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? 21 For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom, it pleased God through the folly of what we preach to save those who believe. 22 For Jews demand signs and Greeks seek wisdom, 23 but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles, 24 but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. 25 For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
