O Little Town Of Bethlehem

Contributed by J Jeffrey Smead on Dec 23, 2012

For those not familiar with an Anglican Service; there are four Scripture Readings before the Sermon. The Scripture Readings for this day were: Micah 5: 2-5; Psalm 80:1-7; Hebrews 10:5-10 and Luke 1:39-55. (This Message was reworked December 2015). In 1865, ...... shortly after the Civil war,.... ...read more

Diseño Divino

Contributed by Wilbur Madera Rivas on Oct 6, 2019

El Creador, que hizo al ser humano a su imagen, establece un diseño del sexo del ser humano bien definido, inalterable y específico. No hay variantes ni opciones en estas dos categorías absolutas. Dios hizo al ser humano con la variedad de dos sexos: hizo varones e hizo mujeres.
