Genesis 4:25 And Adam knew his wife again, and she bore a son and named him Seth, “For God has appointed another seed for me instead of Abel, whom Cain killed.” Righteous Abel had been murdered, Cain was cursed and Cain’s descendants were evil. The promise of the Seed of the Woman seemed hopeless until […]
Genesis 4:19, 22 “Then Lamech took for himself two wives: the name of one was Adah, and the name of the second was Zillah. … And as for Zillah, she also bore Tubal-Cain, an instructor of every craftsman in bronze and iron.” The Lamech mentioned here is not to be confused with the father of […]
With everything going on in the world, I felt to remind each one that God has it all under control. He is everything we need and with Him all things are possible. No matter what may come our way He is able to handle every situation and circumstance that may arise. Fear has no place […]
Genesis 4:16-17 “Then Cain went out from the presence of the LORD and dwelt in the land of Nod on the east of Eden. And Cain knew his wife, and she conceived and bore Enoch. And he built a city, and called the name of the city after the name of his son – Enoch.” […]
Genesis 4:15 “And the Lord set a mark on Cain, lest anyone finding him should kill him.” Embedded within this statement are several mysteries.

Genesis 4:13-14 And Cain said to the Lord, “My punishment is greater than I can bear! Surely You have driven me out this day from the face of the ground; I shall be hidden from Your face.” After God confronted Cain with his sin and sentenced him to a life of wandering, the world’s first […]
Genesis 4:10-11 And He said, “What have you done? The voice of your brother’s blood cries out to Me from the ground. So now you are cursed from the earth, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand.” You won’t notice it in English, but in the Hebrew text, the […]
Genesis 4:9 Then the LORD said to Cain, “Where is Abel your brother?” He said, ‘I do not know. Am I my brother’s keeper?” How is it that two brothers, conceived in the same womb, raised by the same parents can be so diametrically opposed to one another? It is just another example of the […]
GENESIS 4:8 “Now Cain talked with Abel his brother; and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother and killed him.” Instead of heeding God’s admonition to arrest the desire to commit sin, Cain gave in to it, calling Abel out into the field in […]
I Corinthians 12 is full of amazing teaching concerning the individual call, gifting, and placement. But at the very end of the chapter the Apostle Paul says, “Yet I show you a more excellent way.” He has just spent an entire chapter telling us about the Body and all the wonderful gifts that have been […]
