What do people say about Italians and Spaniards?? Isn’t it interesting that we have a tendency to think ...read more

Jacob: Manipulating A Birthright Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Jun 5, 2022

Normally the birthright goes to the firstborn son. That would be Jacob’s brother Esau. Now we will look at how Jacob manipulated the birthright for the blessing. By custom Esau was to inherit the blessings of Abraham and Isaac. This fellow Jacob stole Esau’s birthright and blessing.

Jacob: Manipulating a birthright Genesis 25:19-34 I think many of us will be able to relate to Jacob. He had faults and failings that are very common weaknesses we have. It’s not that we do not relate to the weakness of his father Isaac and his grandfather Abraham, but Jacobs selfish and ...read more

Contributed by Esther Collins on Jan 21, 2022

Esau's Egregious Errors

Contributed by David Nolte on Aug 29, 2022

When we want instant gratification, we commit the same kind of errors as did Esau.

Her boss's phone, too.” The article was about Peggielene Bartels, a secretary in the ...read more
