El suelo es plano delante de la cruz // The ground is level at the cross

Tenemos un dicho en los EE.UU.: “El suelo es plano delante de la cruz.” En otras palabras, nadie tiene ventaja delante de Dios. 

We have a saying in the US. "The ground is level at the cross." In other words, no one has an advantage before God.

Te Queremos México

We've been relishing the opportunity to pack up our house once again in preparation for our move back to the States next month (that was sarcasm, by the way). But before we pack up all our memories, here's a few worth sharing from this past month.

Stuart preached at Asamblea Cristiana.

We spent the day with a friend from church who asked us to be a part of his music video (no worries - he is singing, we are not). The video follows the life of a young business man who is having a horrible, terrible, no good, very bad day. From what I understand, it ends well though :)

I will link the video when it is completed.

Our time is limited so we've been visiting favorite sites in Mexico City.

Old Coyoacan offers a pleasant walk in the park, an artisan market, Café el Jarocho, and crunchy churros.

Stuart and Sophia visited Chinatown in Mexico City recently. 

Can you see their reflection in the restaurant window?

They brought me home some fragrant soap and Chinese tea.

The Bojenmi Chinese Tea claims that "This tea will make women feel young and slim and full of youthpul beauty. It also rids you of bad breath and erosion of the lip and tongue."

I didn't care for it :)

Yesterday we enjoyed worship in a nearby park with our church family. 

Within the next few days, I'll share more photos and videos of our time at Bosque de Tlapan.

Ministry in the City

I just realized I had some ministry photos hiding in my phone! 

So here's to Ministry in the City over the last few months.

My Tower is Bigger than Your Tower

The continuing saga of the Tower of Babel (review part 1 here).

The great flood of Genesis 9 wiped out all the people in the area and everything that they had built, planted, and created. Now in Genesis 11, the people have migrated eastward and settled on a plain in Shinar. In the process of rebuilding, some of the people decided to unite their efforts and build a grandiose tower.

Vida Nueva

I must preach the Good News of the Kingdom of God to other towns, too, for that is why I was sent. ~Luke 4:43

Pastor Vicente Nolasco invited Stuart to share his experiences as a missionary at his church this past Sunday.

La Palabra de Dios

Stuart preached last week at our church, Asamblea Cristiana in Mexico City. In fact, our pastor asked us to take turns preaching every month. We really appreciate this opportunity, the pastor's faith in our ability, and the kindness of the patient saints in our church  :)
