Tricked Into A Treat Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 24, 2021

The very first sin teaches us of the danger of letting the end justify the means. It is by this philosophy that Satan can trick us into treats

On Halloween night the streets are filled with masked children out to get treats and to play a few tricks. Their masks may hide their identity from us, but we are only moderately fooled because we know that underneath there are children and not assorted demons, or at least not supernatural ...read more

Fruit Of Evil Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 24, 2021

This is the test that Eve failed, and then Adam followed. The first sin of man, like the first sin in the life of most everyone, was very simple and not sensational.

We have seen in our study of verse 6 that the fall of man was brought about by Satan’s subtlety in getting Eve to gain a good end by a bad means. The danger of allowing the end to justify the means is a real danger all of us need to be aware of, for none are immune to the virus of this danger. We ...read more

God In Man's Image Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 24, 2021

A young boy afraid of the dark called for his mother to come upstairs to his bedroom to be with him.

When she came up he ...read more

Guilty But Not As Charged Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 24, 2021

This passage makes it clear that man does not need to be totally depraved to be totally out of God's will, and that he who stands must beware less he fall.

A close study of the account of the fall of man has done more to open my eyes to the danger of tradition than any other study I have done. Those who profess to take it literally have done much in making it mythological by using it to teach lessons that have no basis in the text itself. Those who ...read more

Scripture: Genesis 3:12-14

From Dust To Dust Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 24, 2021

Adam faced a terrible punishment when he was sentenced to return to dust, but God forbid that we ignore the changes made by Christ, and continue to live on the level of that judgment "From dust to dust."

The Sunday School teacher was introducing his lesson on heaven by asking his boys if they wanted to go to heaven. One boy said, "Not me!" The teacher was shocked and asked, "You mean to tell me you don't want to go to heaven when you die?" "When I die? O, sure !" ...read more

Love Is A Four-Letter Word

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on May 18, 2022

Many four-letter words are used tritely as vulgar and profane slang or to curse someone.

The word "love" is also a four-letter word used so commonly that its true meaning and significance has been lost. People say they 'love' their house, car, clothes, church, school, pets, food, family, friends, hairdo, music, makeup, movies, etc., and they 'love' God. The ...read more

The Fall Of Man Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on May 21, 2022

God made Adam and Eve with a will to make a choice. They had the option of obeying God and his command or disobeying. The pull or lure to disobey is temptation. The temptation and the fall began with the serpent luring Eve to disobey God.

The Bible records that the original couple Adam and Eve were deceived by Satan and sin marred God’s creation including mankind. The fall of man tells the story that is basic for the rest of the Bible. God’s plan to redeem fallen man. To save humanity lost in the fall. We are looking at the ...read more

Eden First Garden Adam and Eve took a stance, but it was a stance of their will, one of Ducking, hiding from GOD; Dodging from the truth; and diverting the blame.
