The Dangers of Silence

This is a subtitle for your new post


Silence Isn't Golden


Pastor Kara Diaz
 

In this powerful and thought-provoking message, Pastor Kara Diaz challenges us to reconsider some of society's common sayings like, “politics don’t belong in church,” “silence is golden,” “love is love,” and “just follow your heart.” Pastor Kara highlights how the enemy often uses these phrases to twist the truth, encouraging believers to stay silent rather than stand up for God’s Word and the moral foundations He designed for a healthy society.

Pastor Kara shares how the downfall of every nation often begins with the erosion of the sanctity of marriage. When marriage between a man and woman is redefined, families weaken, divorce rates rise, and the value of life is diminished. This leads to a mindset where everyone "follows their heart," doing what seems right in their own eyes, resulting in chaos and paving the way for tyranny, socialism, and Marxism.

America was founded by brave men and women who stood for Biblical truths, even willing to die for the sake of God’s Word and the freedom to worship. Pastor Kara reminds us that all it takes for evil to thrive is for good people to do nothing. One of the most critical ways we can take action is by voting. She pointed out that 60% of Christians do not vote, emphasizing that not voting is essentially a vote for evil.

Matthew 5:14 calls us to be “the light of the world, a city set on a hill.” We are meant to shine God’s truth from the mountaintops, not hide in silence.

Pastor Kara also laid out three non-negotiable principles when it comes to choosing the right candidate:
1. 
The Sanctity of Life: Does the candidate stand for life, believing it begins at conception as described in Psalm 139:13-16?
2. 
Marriage and Gender: Do they uphold marriage between a man and a woman and recognize that only God defines our gender?
3. 
Support for Israel: Do they bless Israel? As Psalm 122:7 reminds us, God desires peace and prosperity for Jerusalem and promises blessings for those who support Israel.

Pastor Kara urged us to vote based on the policies candidates stand for, not their personalities. Our vote is an expression of our agreement with their principles and values.

This message is full of wisdom and conviction, challenging us to rise up and be the voice God has called us to be.

Pastor Ben walked us through the story of the Israelites. As they journeyed through the wilderness, they were like baby believers—learning who their God was. He performed spectacular miracles for them: parting the Red Sea, raining down manna, bringing water from a rock. But when they reached the edge of the Promised Land, it was time for them to grow up. This time, God wasn’t going to do everything for them—He wanted to do it with them.

El pastor Ben nos guió a través de la historia de los israelitas. Mientras viajaban por el desierto, eran como creyentes jóvenes: aprendían quién era su Dios. Él realizó milagros espectaculares para ellos: dividió el Mar Rojo, hizo llover maná, sacó agua de una roca. Pero cuando llegaron al borde de la Tierra Prometida, llegó el momento de que maduraran. Esta vez, Dios no iba a hacerlo todo por ellos; quería hacerlo con ellos.

In celebration of Mother’s Day, Pastor Ben shared a powerful message on the value and divine design of women. He reminded us that when God saw man alone—He took woman out of man, creating her equal, but different. Pastor said it best, “Women are equally powerful, divinely different.”

Para celebrar el Día de las Madres, el pastor Ben compartió un poderoso mensaje sobre el valor y el diseño divino de la mujer. Nos recordó que cuando Dios vio al hombre solo, sacó a la mujer del hombre, creándola igual, pero diferente. El pastor lo expresó con claridad: «Las mujeres son igualmente poderosas, divinamente diferentes».

En este mensaje, la pastora Kara se centró en uno de esos principios: sembrar y cosechar, especialmente en el área del juicio vs. la misericordia. Jesús cargó con todo el peso del juicio de Dios sobre sí mismo. No vino a condenarnos, así que nosotros tampoco debemos juzgar a los demás. Estamos llamados a sembrar misericordia, porque lo que sembramos se nos multiplica.

In this message, Pastor Kara focused on one of those principles: sowing and reaping, especially in the area of judgment vs. mercy. Jesus took the full weight of God’s judgment on Himself. He didn’t come to condemn us—so we’re not to judge others either. We’re called to sow mercy, because what we sow is multiplied back to us.

All throughout Jesus’ ministry on earth, He gave example after example of the Kingdom of Heaven. Pastor explained, “it’s kind of like a video game—you’ve got to crack the code, figure out the algorithm, and learn the rules of how it works.” The good news is, we don’t have to wait until we get to heaven to experience God’s Kingdom—we’re called to live with the supernatural impact and power of the Kingdom right now, here on earth. Pastor described it as living with “One hand in heaven, one hand reaching out to others, and our eyes always locked on Jesus.”

A lo largo de su ministerio terrenal, Jesús dio un ejemplo tras otro del Reino de los Cielos. El pastor explicó: «Es como un videojuego: tienes que descifrar el código, entender el algoritmo y aprender las reglas de su funcionamiento». La buena noticia es que no tenemos que esperar a llegar al cielo para experimentar el Reino de Dios; estamos llamados a vivir con el impacto y el poder sobrenaturales del Reino ahora mismo, aquí en la tierra. El pastor lo describió como vivir con «Una mano en el cielo, una mano tendiendo a los demás, y la mirada siempre fija en Jesús».

“He isn’t here! He is risen from the dead, just as he said would happen. Come, see where his body was lying.” — Matthew 28:6 If Jesus hadn’t risen from the dead, we’d be just another religion with a set of beliefs. But we serve a living Savior! Jesus overcame death by the power of God—and that same power now lives in us who believe. He wants to work through us to heal the sick, raise the dead, and be vessels for miracles, signs, and wonders—so that the world will know the depth of God’s love and the power of His forgiveness.

No está aquí! Ha resucitado de entre los muertos, tal como dijo que sucedería. Vengan, vean dónde yacía su cuerpo. Mateo 28:6 Si Jesús no hubiera resucitado de entre los muertos, seríamos solo otra religión con un conjunto de creencias. ¡Pero servimos a un Salvador vivo! Jesús venció a la muerte por el poder de Dios, y ese mismo poder ahora vive en nosotros, los que creemos. Él quiere obrar a través de nosotros para sanar a los enfermos, resucitar a los muertos y ser instrumentos de milagros, señales y prodigios, para que el mundo conozca la profundidad del amor de Dios y el poder de su perdón.
