Plus l'Humanité se raffine et se complique, plus les chances de désordre se multiplient et leur gravité s'accentue ; car on n'élève pas de montagne sans creuser des abîmes, et toute énergie est également puissance pour le bien et pour le mal. Tout ce qui devient souffre et pèche. La vérité sur notre attitude en ce monde, c'est que nous y sommes en croix.

Può sembrare incredibile ma nella Bibbia, quando Dio sceglie una persona per affidarle una missione, si tratta quasi sempre della persona più sbagliata che si possa immaginare. Ordina a una coppia anziana e sterile di generare un popolo, chiama a sé un balbuziente perché diventi oratore e profeta, mette giustizia e verità nelle mani di ladroni e prostitute. Le figure più venerabili dell'Antico Testamento, come Abramo, Mosè, Davide e Salomone, sono in realtà segnate da una moltitudine di colpe, destinate a coprirsi di ridicolo.

This book presents the whole Bible in an easy-to-understand style. God is its Author and we must see it from His perspective. God’s ultimate purpose is the complete restoration of all Creation. After Adam’s fall, God has worked systematically towards achieving this purpose. His progress is slow and methodical. Various stages must be completed before He can continue. These stages are shown and explained in a way you can understand them. Most teachers and preachers present the Bible in snapshots. These snapshots are pictures frozen in time.

For over 40 years Barbara Seaman has been a leading women’s health advocate. Now she blows the lid off the estrogen industry in this fascinating book that holds the power to improve—possibly even save—women’s lives. In America 30 million women take estrogen. Seaman shows that this powerful hormone is hardly the cure-all some claim it is. In fact, estrogen treatments may increase the risk of cancer, heart disease, and osteoporosis.

If you love Jesus but are unhappy, disappointed, frustrated, disillusioned, or just plain burned-out with church or religion, I have good news for you. There is a problem with church, but it’s neither your fault nor God’s fault and you’re not required to “try harder” to fix it. Furthermore, you’re not alone. More and more evangelical Christians sense that church and religion are somehow at odds with a relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. God has already given us the “way of escape.” His answer has always been hiding in plain sight in the New Testament.

Si l'Église réfléchit depuis déjà longtemps autour de la protection de la nature, jamais un pape ne lui a consacré une encyclique, son mode d'expression le plus solennel. Les mots italiens "Laudato si': Dieu soit loué", qui ouvrent la première encyclique du pape François sont les premiers du "Cantique des créatures", écrit par Saint François d'Assise peu avant sa mort en 1226. Considéré comme l'un des premiers textes de la littérature italienne, le Poverello y célèbre Dieu à travers sa création : frère soleil, sœur lune, frère vent, sœur eau, frère feu, notre mère la terre.

It’s hard today to remember how recently cancer was a silent killer, a dreaded disease about which people rarely spoke in public. In hospitals and doctors’ offices, conversations about malignancy were hushed and hope was limited. In this deeply researched book, Elaine Schattner reveals a sea change—from before 1900 to the present day—in how ordinary people talk about cancer. From Whispers to Shouts examines public perception of cancer through stories in newspapers and magazines, social media, and popular culture.

Today, we are witnessing the historically powerful American Order experiencing perhaps its greatest peril as it struggles against the tidal wave of new challenges from Covid-19, the rapid rise of Christian Nationalism, large-scale Apostasy, and an increasingly divided nation streaming toward increased violence and possibly even Civil War.

El budismo, rama de la filosofía, ocupa un lugar central en el conjunto de la obra de Borges. La percepción del cosmos como un laberinto o una paradoja, la negación del Yo, el cuestionamiento a la concepción occidental del tiempo y la singular noción de que el mundo es una ficción y la realidad un sueño, entre otras ideas, cruzan los ensayos, cuentos y poemas del autor desde sus textos más tempranos y son la particular reformulación con fines literarios de algunos de los nodos centrales de esta doctrina.

Crete was a difficult ministry. Culturally, the people were known for being lazy, deceptive, and combative (Tit 1:12). Though difficult, many churches there needed to be discipled and built up. Consequently, Paul visited to minister to the Cretans and eventually left Titus there to continue the work. In Paul’s letter to Titus, he encourages his son in the faith and gives him various instructions. Titus was to select elders in all the churches to help train the believers, teach them sound doctrine, and protect them from false teaching (Tit 1:9-10). In addition, Paul emphasized that the ...
