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.

Bay Windows: Tell us what Dr. Miranda really thinks Bay Windows, New England's largest homosexual newspaper, would like to pin the label of 'extremist bigot' on Dr. Miranda. The newspaper regrets that ' the depths of Miranda’s extreme rhetoric are largely invisible to the general public.' They go on to cite 'a few choice excerpts' from Dr. Miranda's Master Plan.

Dr. Roberto Miranda: Master Plan Presentation Feb. 9, 2006 Over the course of the past twelve months, as we have presented the Master Plan Initiative in various places, and have undertaken initial efforts to implement it, it has become necessary to present the original vision in a more focused fashion, and to express the basic purpose of the Plan in very concrete, specific, concise terms. What follows is an attempt to do this.

At this point, after almost a year of intense dialogue around the Master Plan, it seems appropriate and even necessary to try to give greater specificity to some of the concepts and aspirations expressed in that first document. Much greater clarity has been gained regarding the promise and potential obstacles offered by the Plan as it has been presented and discussed before various leadership groups in the Commonwealth. The following comments, written somewhat hurriedly, may perhaps seem a bit rambling and asystematic at first, but I hope that what they might lack in logical progression they will make up for in spontaneity and organic coherence.

WEZE 590: Alex Canavan interviews Dr. Roberto Miranda
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. Both Mr. Canavan and Dr. Miranda highlight the importance of the upcoming unity meeting in Tremont Temple. [COMMENTS(1)]
CBN News: Joyous Revival Predicted to Shake New England Something is shaking New England. Something's turning people to prayer. Something is making them dance for joy. It feels like the rumbles of revival.
Rev. Roberto Miranda of the Congregación León de Judá remarked, “Staid, intellectual, overly-rational New England is, I think, experiencing a visitation of the Holy Spirit." Alex Canavan, who manages three Christian radio stations, commented, "And we think something greater than the charismatic renewal is about to happen." [COMMENTS]
Roberto Miranda Book Review: Total Truth - Liberating Christianity from Its Cultural Captivity Roberto Miranda writes: I would like to highly recommend Nancy Pearcey's book, Total Truth. It is one of the most penetrating analyses I have read on how imperceptibly the secular understanding of reality can penetrate the mind of the Christian, creating a dual outlook. Many Christians have compartmentalized their faith, relegating spiritual values to the "spiritual' realm, and processing all other aspects of their lives--work, marriage, relationships, finances, politics-- through an essentially secular lens.

Dr. Miranda: July 1, 2005 Key Note Address to American Baptist Evangelicals Thank you so much for inviting me to share some thoughts with you this evening. I am deeply honored by this privilege.

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.

Dr. Miranda's Advice to Parents: 1 Life long Commitment + 1000 Interventions = 1 Healthy Child
My advice to parents who have young children is the following: being a parent is a full time, labor intensive commitment. It is not something that can be done cheaply, on the run, whenever we have time. It is a mission that defines our life, that governs the way we live and the way we spend our time and order our priorities. Being a parent is a gift from God and has to be taken with utter seriousness.

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