Interview Dr. Miranda : What do you envision five years from now for Congregation Lion of Judah?

If I were asked what I would like to see in 5 years in terms of progress for our church, if somebody were to leave our church today and come back in 5 years, what would I like to see them encountering, what changes to observe. One of the most basic things, the very physical, very fundamental, is I would like to walk to our present parking lot at the back of this building and instead of an empty space to find a beautiful, modern, sanctuary with one floor on top for additional classrooms and offices, mounted on pillars so that we do not lose our parking spaces in the bottom that we can use for daily activities here at the church, and parking for personnel and parishioners.  Read More »

An open letter from Dr. Miranda: A brief summary of the doctrinal beliefs held by congregation Lion Of Judah

Thank you for your inquiry regarding CLJ's doctrinal stance. Since CLJ is mainly a Latino church, we have not paid as much attention to putting our doctrinal statement into English. As we become more involved directly with the English speaking community, though, we realize that we need to put more of our material into English, and will do so. Read More »

Interview Dr. Miranda : What are the 3 top prayer concerns for Congregation Lion of Judah?

467.jpg
One of the most important things for our church in terms of, if we are asked what should we pray for our church, is our level of spiritual closeness to the Lord and to the word of God. My deep desire before the Lord is that we be kept in close affinity with the values of the Kingdom of God, with the teachings of the word of God. That this church always from its pulpit has been teaching a doctrine, that is biblical, that is wholesome as the word defines wholesome teaching and wholesome doctrine, that our church be kept with its priorities correct.  Read More »

Dr. Roberto Miranda : A vision for revival in New England

Presentation given at 'Biblical Worldview Conference' in Boston April 7,2006:
I have been assigned the task of presenting a vision for revival in New England. I will begin with a disclaimer. What I have to present is admittedly a very personal view, one that reflects my own theological, cultural and perhaps temperamental inclinations. My presentation is therefore very partial and relative in its content. I do not pretend to be giving a “Thus saith the Lord,” or to be declaring absolute, incontestable truth.  Read More »

Paul Jehle : Revival of what? Mind, soul, or spirit? Pick all three!

1192.jpg
For the culture to change, Christians need to change first - in all 3 areas: mind, soul and spirit. This is the opinion of Paul Jehle who recently gave a presentation at Lion of Judah. Says Jehle: Through our church history we have seen movements that have emphasized one of these 3 areas. There are some that have emphasized the external and they believe if we change the culture, then we’ll change the heart. And so we clean up areas socially hoping that the heart will change. But if we only focus on the external we miss most of revival. Because the Bible tells us your are changed from the internal to the external. Read More »

WEZE 590 general manager Alex Canavan recently interviewed Dr. Miranda. Listen as Dr. Miranda explains his dream of the Lion of Judah hovering over Boston, a vision that prompted pastor Miranda to move his church from Cambridge to Boston and to rename it 'Congregation Lion of Judah'. Dr. Miranda points out the authoritative, regal dimension of Jesus as the 'Lion of Judah' in addition to being the 'Lamb of God'. Being made in HIS image, Dr. Miranda feels that God calls us to reflect that the 'Lion of Judah' lives within all of us. However, we can only be effective when we fight in unity.
