Request from the CBM of the Caribbean, Latin America and North America. They're looking for people to who can write snippets (in English) on the daily readings. Their original post follows.

*****

As we continue to expand our internet preaching capabilities in Latin America, we need volunteers who can write snippets (in English) on the daily readings. Two to four times every week, snippet writers will provide a short 100 word commentary and we will translate that content into Spanish and use it to bolster our social media preaching campaigns.

Please contact Bro. Kevin Hunter at kjhesdi@gmail.com if you are open to serving in this capacity. Frequently Asked Questions below!

FAQ

1. How long is a snippet? 100-300 words is ideal

2. How often are the snippets needed? 2-4 times per week.

3. How long is my commitment? 3 months or more

4. Do I have to use the daily readings? Yes, we ask that you please stay on schedule and connected to the readings.

5. Do I need to know Spanish? No, your snippet will be translated into Spanish by our team.

6. Who can volunteer? Bother Sisters and Brothers are welcome to become snippet writers.

7. What approach should I use? Simple and direct is better than complicated and wandering.

If you are interested in serving in this capacity, please contact Bro. Kevin Hunter at kjhesdi@gmail.com

How often do you ever encounter the word “gnashing” in ordinary conversation? Hardly ever. It’s a word we associate almost exclusively with the parables of Jesus.

About a third of Jesus’s parables are about judgment: reward given to the faithful and condemnation of the unfaithful. The reward is glorious. The condemnation is horrific.

Are we willing to genuinely seek? Are we willing to admit, “I don’t know,” and then do something about it?

Our authentic identity is who we understand ourselves to be at the core. Identity reveals what truly matters to us—what we love, what we want, and what we believe offers us hope and security.

What would you answer if I asked you what the five most popular words used in Scripture are? ...LORD, God, man, Israel, and people. It’s intriguing how these words almost form a complete sentence, revealing God’s overarching plan and purpose for creation: “The Lord God created Man and chose Israel to be his special People.” It underscores the idea of a special community, a family, into which we are blessed to be grafted by God’s wonderful grace.

The stocks hurt them; their bloody backs pained them, but for some reason, they were impelled to offer praise to God. Somehow, the joy in their hearts had to find expression in the song, and no pain could muzzle it.

Introducing Paul Zilmer's new book, "You Are Those Who Stood By Me";

“You are those who stood by me,” Jesus says to his closest followers, at the intensely emotional final meal before his arrest.

What does loyalty to Jesus look like? We find the loyalty and friendship of those around Jesus are imperfect, full of ups and downs. Much like our own.

In this book we imagine looking through the eyes of some of those who knew and followed Jesus, as their loyalty to him developed. There are eleven Jesus speaks to in the upper room that night, but there are more friends than these, and we’ll spend time with some of them too. Learning from their experiences with Jesus, it is our hope that we can see our own loyalty grow along with theirs.

When we start reading about Christ’s life in Matthew’s gospel record, we’re struck by the wilderness temptations and the presence of the devil who appears on the scene without introduction. Who was the tempter in these wilderness temptations?
