    By Faith, Abel offered a more acceptable sacrifice than Cain did. But what does that mean? What made the sacrifice more acceptable? And what can that mean for us?

    OPEN: I read from a Children’s book the story of Cain and Abel. You know, it’s odd - we ALL seem to know the story about Cain and Abel. But Cain gets more “PRESS” from Scripture than Abel does. Cain is mentioned in 18 verses but Abel ONLY gets 11 verses (about 1/3 less attention). But the PRESS ...read more

    The story of Cain is the story of a man determined to do life his way rather than God’s way. It didn’t work then. It won’t work now.

     | 101 views

    Cain sought God’s favor without surrender, but Christ’s blood still speaks—calling every heart from self-made worship to obedient, Spirit-filled revival.

    The Conflict at the Altar Every human being builds an altar. Some offer obedience; some offer opinion. Every life lifts something before God—work, worship, wealth, reputation—and waits for fire to fall. That is where the story of Cain and Abel begins: two brothers, two altars, two hearts, one ...read more

    Money has the power to shackle us to this present world. Our tithes and offerings have the power to power to shackle us to God in faith.

    OPEN: A preacher named Ray Stedman traveled across the country for a week of meetings. The only problem was, his baggage didn’t make it.

    A woman I visited yesterday in hospital asked me "How do I know that I am ACCEPTED BY GOD?" In the OT Abel's offering was ACCEPTED and Cain's offering was not. Why?

    Genesis 4 - "HOW CAN I KNOW THAT I AM ACCEPTED?" They had behaved badly in class but they were equally disruptive in the detention room, swearing, acting tough and defying anything I said with a smart comment. Unacceptable behaviour.
