By: Ariel Irizarry, Founder of inweb.ai and discipleship pastor The Apostle Paul used the means available in his time to spread the gospel and build up the church. He traveled the roads of the Roman Empire, taught in strategic cities, met in homes, and wrote letters that spanned great distances to guide and strengthen congregations. If Paul and the early disciples were planting churches today, I am convinced that they, too, would strategically use digital tools. Not because t

By: Bruno Molina, Executive Director of the HBN 2 months ago, I began to explain the significance and impact of our values es expressed through the acrostic C.H.R.I.S.T. The C stands for clear communication and the R for respect. Since in Spanish the word is C.R.I.S.T.O., I now continue on to “I” signifying “Integrity.” In a world where compromise often passes for wisdom and shadows mask true motives; integrity stands. as a beacon of a divine standard. Derived from the concep

By: Clara Molina, Hispanic Baptist Network Women’s Ministry Director Words have the power to glorify, adore, and praise God. Words can be heard, spoken, written, and treasured in the heart, but, for better or for worse, they can never be taken back once spoken.

By: Bruno Molina, RBH Executive Director Last month, I began to explain the significance and impact of our values es expressed through the acrostic C.H.R.I.S.T. The C stands for clear communication. Since in Spanish the word is C.R.I.S.T.O., I now continue on to “R” signifying “Respect.” The unconditional value of each person is a fundamental pillar in biblical teaching. Unlike cultural stances that bestow respect on the basis of social status, wealth, or intellect, the Bible

By: Orpha Ortega How can we celebrate our culture without letting it define who we are? The month of September reminds us of where we come from. It is a month of flags, colors, music, food, family gatherings, and patriotic celebrations. For many Hispanics, September stirs up memories of our homeland, our family, our flavors, and our roots. Our culture is part of our history, but it should not become the place where we find our identity. Many of us women live between two world

Dr. Clara Molina, Women Ministry Team Director for the HBN As all the public and private school districts around the country welcome students, parents start to brace themselves for a year full of activities, meetings, and negotiating their schedules. This is the time of the year when parents evaluate and prioritize their family, church, school, friends, individual, and work activities.

By: Dr. Bruno Molina, Executive Director of the RBH In Christian ethics, the values by which a believer lives mean living according to God's desires and in accordance with what the Bible teaches. In light of this definition, in the coming months, I will be explaining the values of the Hispanic Baptist Network. These are the qualities that we consider desirable as a means to realize our vision and fulfill our mission. We believe that fulfilling our mission while manifesting t

By: Dra. Diana Puente, Pastor’s wife and member of the Hispanic Baptist Network women’s team Two hundred and fifty years ago, the Declaration of Independence was signed in the United States by a group of men characterized by courage, sacrifice, and perseverance. They fought for this nation’s freedom, grounded in fundamental rights such as liberty, justice, the protection of the individual, the limitation of government power, and the pursuit of happiness. For the believer, thi

By: Dr. Bruno Molina, Executive Director of HBN This month, I will finish explaining our mission statement phrase by phrase. So far, I’ve discussed how “United for his glory, we exist to connect on mission, contribute resources, and celebrate what God is doing among us.” The last phrase in our mission statement is “in collaboration with the body of Christ.” In Matthew 5:13-14 Jesus tells his disciples, in part, “You are the salt of earth… You are the light of the world.” Esse

By Dr. Bruno Molina This month I continue to explain, phrase by phrase, our mission statement. Last month I wrote about what it means to be “united for His glory”; this month I explain what it means that we exist to “connect in mission.” The Hispanic Baptist Network (RBH) exists to “connect us in mission”: we agree that a time like this requires a great commitment to the Great Commandment to love God with all our being (Mark 12:30), the Great Commission to make disciples of a

By Dr. Bruno Molina "United for His glory, we exist to connect in mission, share resources, and celebrate what God is doing among us, in partnership with the body of Christ." We are "united for His glory." Our unity is found in Christ as we seek “the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace” (Ephesians 4:3). This unity involves the heart of God, His word, and His will. Since we come from different countries and cultures, our ultimate goal cannot be uniformity because we canno
