They forfeited their firstborn birthright of inherited abundance. Adam and Eve could not restore the damage they caused when they despised their inheritance. Only God could. Jesus came to restore our abundant life! He exchanged our damaged inherited state for his abundant one.

Young children as well as grown ups can gain much happiness from listening to the beautiful stories which are told in the book of Exodus, despite the fact that these stories took place more than thirty centuries ago. Now I want you to close your eyes and imagine Miriam, the prophetess and sister of Aaron and Moses, imagine that you are sitting by her side along with the other children gathered around. Miriam loved to tell stories, and the children loved to hear them. She would tell them about things she herself had seen and had heard. Miriam kept many of these stories in her heart and mind,...

Through an exploration of the Book of Kings, and close study of the kings and prophets, we can learn valuable lessons, both political and personal, that apply today. The Book of Kings is a tragedy, the story of the decline and fall of the ancient kingdom of the Jews.

Many of the kings were abject failures.

En 1983, un evangelista itinerante le dijo a un joven Bob Perry, un estudiante de la oración y ávido de aprender, que orara 1 de Crónicas 4:10 diariamente por el resto de su vida. Y comenzó. En el año 2000, Bruce Wilkinson publico el “La oración de Jabez”. Amy Joy, siempre escéptica de mercados masivos, asumía que cualquier cosa que hubiera vendido diez millones de copias era probablemente muy plebeya para su gusto, así que lo ignoró. Veinte años más tarde, cuando Bob comenzó a mentores a Amy, el continuaba mencionando esta oración. E ella se enamoro de su poder y belleza....

The King James Bible is powerful — but its ancient language can feel like a wall between you and the meaning. It doesn't have to be. The Book of Ruth is one of the most beloved stories in all of scripture. It is a story of extraordinary loyalty, quiet faith, and unexpected redemption.

The Book of Ruth Decoded removes that barrier, presenting every verse alongside a clear, modern English translation so you can listen to it it, understand it, and decide what it means to you.

We look at the Bible zoomed out. A bird’s eye view. We roll our eyes at the Israelites for being so stubborn, so forgetful, so unfaithful. We judge David for his adultery. We laugh at Peter’s blunt questions. We frown when all the disciples run away from Gethsemane. But what might happen if we plant ourselves right there, into those very moments ourselves? Right into the sandals of those people, in the instant those events are happening? What if we feel our own hearts pounding, our breaths catching, our minds racing? Could it be that our judgment falls away? Even better, might we ...
