(In the New Testament tithing is weak and useless - Hebrews 7-18) The people of Israel did not exist, but there was a man named Abraham (Genesis 12-1), which was a very God-fearing man. God made a covenant with Abraham, an agreement that would bless his descendants, his seed, and they would become a great nation before the Lord. God promised to give the land of Canaan to his descendants as well (Canaan was a good land that belonged to other people, who followed idols). See God's covenant with Abraham in: Genesis 15-18 Genesis 17-7, 17-9 Genesis, Genesis 17-10, 24-3 Joshua, etc. (Truth frees us of all the deceptions and falsehoods) Abraham had a son, called him Isaac (Genesis 21-3). Isaac had two sons, Esau and Jacob, God chose to Jacob and changed his name to Israel (Genesis 32-28), and with that, all the descendants of Abraham became known as the people of Israel. At the time there was a great drought and famine throughout the land, but the land of Egypt had plenty of...

Do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, to be able to test and prove the good and acceptable and perfect will of God. (Romans 12: 2) I accepted Jesus as my Savior at age nine. I was aware of my sinful state and sought God's forgiveness through Jesus. Born of the Spirit at that time but I did not really understand what had happened in my life. I had no teaching, and so remained in darkness from a practical point of view, although the light was living in me.

I think there is a crowd of people who are in this position today and many others were well in the centuries that have passed. Although I did the best I could to be "religious", I learned that Jesus did not die to give us religion; He died to give us a persona...

"Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord." (Hebrews 12:14) The success of marriage depends largely on this stage called dating. The current standards of society no longer consider this importance, dating is no longer a process of building friendship and commitment, but wraps increasingly intimate and complicated. The Bible does not discuss about this process in the life of a couple, just because it teaches the children of God to live holiness in eternal commitment, which is marriage. You will not read in the Word how to be a good suitor, or how to be a brilliant girlfriend. But will understand how you can be a God-fearing wife and a priest husband's home. And to live this step before marriage, you will learn to be a respectful young and in love with Christ, and a young woman who cares for the things of God. Finally, you will learn how to live a holy life. And is holiness in your life with God that allows you to wal...
