However, what truly increased the hatred and jealousy was the Joseph’s dreams. The author notes that when Joseph recounts the dreams, “they hated him even more

Although the Bible was written thousands of years ago, the lessons expressed by God are just as relevant in today’s world. The Bible, specifically the Book of Genesis, consists of stories that seem outdated, however, these stories illustrate moral lessons that will always be applicable in life. The most prominent lesson is that people must have faith in God in order to trust Him with all of their heart. Particular instances from the lives of Abraham and Joseph provide reasons to believe God is always

Ancient world literature and early civilization stories turn around human’s relationship with higher beings. Ancient civilizations were extremely religious, holding the belief that their very lives were in the hands of their almighty god or goddess.

Introduction: “Jacob Struggles with God” is a selection that came from the book of Genesis chapter 32. Genesis describes God’s creation of earth and his first interactions with human beings. Throughout the Bible, there are many instances and occasions where the almighty Lord God demonstrates his strength and power. In Genesis chapter 32, a strange man appeared before Jacob, who is the son of Isaac and Rebekah, and they wrestled until daybreak. In Genesis 25:23, when the Lord was talking to Rebekah

Abraham. One of the most influential men who ever lived, does not appear on any list of the hundred most influential men who ever lived. He ruled no empire, commanded no great army, engaged in no spectacular acts of heroism on the battlefield, performed no miracles, proclaimed no prophecy and led no vast throng of followers. Yet today more than half of the world’s population identify themselves as his heirs. His name, of course, is Abraham, held as the founder of faith by the three great monotheisms

His children’s Spring Break and my Easter break are on the same week, just another example

My name, Arminda, means protector or little armored one, kind of like an armadillo or a tiny tin soldier. Well really a little witch with a shield but we will get to that later. I prefer my imagery better because it better portrays who I am, quiet but strong. I was given my great-grandmothers name simply because my mother thought it sounded pretty.
