Jacob no llegó al nivel de fe su abuelo Abraham, pero su vida...

Por el contrario, cada vez que aprendemos algo acerca de este gran tema, de inmediato surgen las pruebas por medio de las cuales podremos usar lo aprendido y constatar si en verdad hemos llegado a creer, o si las dudas siguen agobiándonos.

Surprisingly, the brother who suggested the sale of Joseph to the Ishmaelite traders is the man we now follow. Joseph the son of Rachel saved Israel and received the Birthright.

Yet Judah’s destiny, in reality, proved to be far greater than Josephs, in terms of future posterity and eternal significance. But how could Judah ...

It is the only book after the name of a gentile woman in the whole Bible. Ruth has superseded many women. The ...

Un historien célèbre a soulevé un jour que peu importe votre opinion personnelle sur Jésus-Christ, ce dernier s'impose comme une figure centrale dans l'histoire de la civilisation occidentale. Qu'il soit violemment rejeté par certains ou adoré passionnément par d'autres, Jésus est encore le sujet d'opinions variées.

When Noah began constructing the Ark nobody knows what people thought or said to him. It must have seemed strange because it never rained in Noah’s world; that means no floods. Noah advertised that God was going to destroy the world with a catastrophic flood. It took him and his three sons one hundred and twenty years to complete the ship; fortunately people lived longer in those times because of the pristine and healthy environment. The problem was humanity; the people were wicked, violent and corrupt. Even though a major flood warning alarm rang loud and long the people were unbelieving...

The kings of divided Israel reigned from 950 BC to 586 BC. Unlike Saul, David, and Solomon, the great kings of the united kingdom of Israel, their stories are not particularly well known except by Bible scholars and preachers.

It will also give you the chance to think about some of the issues brought to light by the lives of these kings.

It is a bible story of a spiritual journey that will inspire the faith of Christians and non-Christians alike.
