Genesis 4:3 And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD. Cain brought to God his own way, with his own works, as an offering to God. And that's the sad deception of false-religion. It

Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. Assuming can become a dangerous habit. The assumptive art of creating narratives in our head, containing incomplete information, limited facts, and biased thoughts can get us in a lot of trouble. Applying

The devilish theory of evolution has deceived many into falsely believing in the following 6 lies! * In the beginning matter * In the beginning RNA molecules * In the beginning a primordial soup * In the beginning hydrothermal vents on the floor of the ocean * In the beginning

In that same argument, they will also admit that there are no original autographs that exist anywhere on earth; instead, we only have copies of the originals. When theologians argue that inerrancy is found

It's wise to filter everything you that you read or listen to, through the truth of God's word. Anything we choose to believe in the present, or have believed in the past, should also be filtered through the truth of God's word. If we fail to do this, we'll end

Proverbs 26:13 The slothful man saith, There is a lion in the way; a lion is in the streets. The slothful man has trouble getting out of bed in the morning. He's often tardy, slow and lazy. The problem with waking up late, is that it forces you to

John 1:1 says, "the word was God." John 1:14 says, "the Word was made flesh, and dwelt amoung us, (and we behold his glory." 1 Timothy 3:16 says, "great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh," The apostles heard with their own ears,

John 1:9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. Having light from Jesus and knowing Jesus are not the same thing. John 1:10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.

John 1:5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. The light didn't shine ON darkness, it shined IN darkness, with the divine purpose of overcoming darkness. It's WHY the Bible says in John 1:14 - And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt

But, since when was choosing easy, the goal? It's time we endure the hardness of crucifying the flesh. Let's
