    Nos gusta leer historias con un final feliz. Nos encantan los cuentos de hadas porque, al fin, se casan y viven felices para siempre. Hay algo en la prosperidad y en una vida de éxito que nos llama la atención.

    En camino al éxito Todos los humanos, hombres y mujeres, caemos en dos categorías, cuando hablamos del éxito en esta vida: Aquellos que tienen éxito y aquellos que no lo tienen. Dentro de estas categorías están las subdivisiones de aquellos que están en camino hacia el éxito y aquellos que alguna ...read more

    Society hammers into our brains the idea that success is to be measured with goods. The media claims that he who dies with the most toys wins. And we all want not only the best but the latest toys. We all want to win.

    A Success Story All humans, men and women, fall in three categories, in relationship to being successful. Those who are successful, those who aren’t successful and those who are on their way to being successful. If we were to subdivide them even further we could mention those who are on their way ...read more

    Through a parable about a "rich fool" Jesus gave a sharp warning about the love of money. Greed leads to a false view of life. Greed leads to a fool’s death.

    “For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil.” (1 Timothy 6:10) That passage from the Apostle Paul’s first letter to Timothy is well known. It seems that many people who know little else about the Bible can quote that particular passage. Perhaps it is familiar and frequently quoted ...read more
