If God is unchanging and unchangeable and by Scripture, He is the same yesterday, today and forever - He changes not.

A Tale Of Two Brothers

Contributed by Dan Erickson on Oct 18, 2000

How we relate to God affects how we relate to others: Because Cain didn't have a right relationship with God, his relationship with his brother Abel was not right either.

For a number of years, one of my favorite TV shows was "Murder, She Wrote" with Angela Lansbury.

Are You A Cain?

Introductory Considerations 1. Are you a Cain? 2. I would think and hope that everyone here would quickly be able to answer "of course not", for as we just read, Cain was a murder - in fact the first murderer of all time. 2. How could I even think to ask this question? How could I ever think ...read more

Why Cain's Sacrifice Is Rejected Series

Contributed by Eddie Snipes on Oct 18, 2000

Why was Cain’s offering rejected? We reproduce Cain’s sin when we allow sin to control us and try to produce our own righteousness.

Am I My Brother's Keeper?

Contributed by Tom Lovorn on Nov 11, 2000

We still ask the third question in the Bible, "Am I my brother's keeper?" to excuse our responsibility for our fellowman.

The Sons Of God And The Daughters Of Men Series

Contributed by Eddie Snipes on Nov 18, 2000

Who are the sons of God and why did their marriage to the daughters of men produce violence and unrestrained sin in the world? Jesus used this as a reference to the sign of His second coming, so how do we apply this today?

The Sons of God and the Daughters of Men Genesis 6:1 Now it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born to them, 2 that the sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves of all whom they chose. 3 ...read more
