God’s norm is abundant living. That was his intention for man. When Adam and Eve sinned, they gave power to the thief who only comes to steal, kill, and destroy. They forfeited their firstborn birthright of inherited abundance. Adam and Eve could not restore the damage they caused when they despised their inheritance. Only God could. Jesus came to restore our abundant life! He exchanged our damaged inherited state for his abundant one.

When we put these to work we find that eternal truths come to life in a whole new way, deeply embedded in the workings of our own lived realities.Words Made Flesh uses the four Gospels as a case study. The four practices are applied to...

Siempre te amará es el recordatorio de que Dios nos ama en todo momento y de que Él demuestra su Amor incondicional, no solo en cada momento de nuestros días, sino en una diversidad de expresiones. Podemos sentirlo en un susurro en el aire, a través de gestos de las personas, o en cada destello del amanecer. Sin embargo, la base de este libro tan inspirador es cómo Bernardo Stamateas presenta El Cantar de los Cantares como una metáfora del amor de Dios hacia nosotros. Tal vez pensaste hasta ahora que esta poética sección de la Biblia ilustraba el amor de pareja y, en efecto, así es.
