Sin That Crouched At The Door Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on May 19, 2023

Why would Cain kill Abel, and what can we learn from his failure?

Years ago when I was at Purdue I decided to read the Bible for myself.

Sin's Blood-Stained Progression

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jun 18, 2023

The tragic story of Cain and Abel did not have to happen if only Cain had controlled his emotions and listened to the counsel of God. Instead, we witness the first murder and the further progression of humanity's rebellion and wickedness.

We witness remorse, selfish concern, and the gradual ...read more

You've Been Marked!

Contributed by Je Layugan on Oct 17, 2023

God marked Cain for protection after Cain killed his brother Abel. The mark on Cain is a sign of a cursed spirit, yet at the same time a symbol of God’s mercy, an assurance for us that wherever we have been, whatever we have become, God still loves us, God still longs for us.

I Will Not Be Wasted

Contributed by Dr. Abraham Obadare on Dec 2, 2023
