Trilogía

Contributed by Alberto Valenzuela on Oct 11, 2006

Para comunicarse con cada generación, Dios ha usado lo que esa generación conocía, usándolo para enseñarles. Si Jesús hubiera venido en nuestros días, ¿hubiera hablado del sembrador, de la cizaña, de los talentos?

A Success Story

Contributed by Alberto Valenzuela on Oct 11, 2006
