In the garden Eve chooses not to trust God and desires a knowledge that is either not destined for mankind, or else not destined so quickly. The forbidden fruit does exactly what Satan promises, and what God forbade. It grants knowledge (Gen.3.22), a knowledge at that time forbidden. But in eating it, Eve trads trust […]

What do we learn from the Garden of Eden? That Adam and Eve opposed God in feedin’. God put the tree there to teach good and evil; But “self” sent Paradise into upheaval. Truth be told, they chose death over life and God; Curses for women in birth and man in sod. Satan’s deceptive ploys to discard God’s […]

Grace is written on every page of the Bible. But blood is not. Grace is written in ways that blood does not need. The very breath we take is grace.
