Consecuencias Del Orgullo

Contributed by James Dina on Aug 7, 2020

El orgullo precede a la destrucción. El que se exalta será humillado, y el que se humilla será exaltado. ¡No puedes hacer ningún bien a menos que "la poderosa mano de Dios" esté contigo! Por lo tanto, sé humilde y mira a su mano para todo el éxito.

Consecuencias del orgullo "Antes del quebrantamiento es la soberbia, y antes de la caída la altivez de espíritu" (Proverbios 16:18). El orgullo, el primogénito del infierno, impuro y vil, es un cabecilla y capitán entre las iniquidades, el atrevimiento y el pecado ...read more

The Cost Of A Christ-Centered Life

Contributed by Tony Searles on Nov 3, 2003

Salvation is a free gift, it can’t be earned or deserved. However, for the Christian to live a life Centered on Christ...it will cost us something. David would not give what did not cost him anything...so what are our "costs"?

Why People See Christians As Weak Series

Complacent Faith

Contributed by Kamalanathan Francis on Aug 26, 2021

Complacency is a contagious belief and practice rising among many. The individualistic society seeks to embrace even complacent faith with pride.

Well, 500 years before Christ, Amos was sent to Israelites to warn their complacency (Amos 4:1-5 / 6:1-6) not to condemn but to point their way forward. They had their law, teachers, and religious leaders, but not God because they were following their own self-absorbed life. Due to the complacent ...read more

Suffering is part of the process of changing us into people fit for the kingdom of God.

Everybody knows that Christians shouldn’t boast, right?
