    Maybe one of the most disturbing passages in the Bible is the story that tells how a man committed the first murder against his own brother. Just the very horror and evil of such an act is disturbing to say the least. It is a story that chills us to our

    1 CAIN WANTED TO DENY THAT HUMAN NATURE IS EVIL HE FELT HE WAS BASICALLY GOOD Cain wanted to believe that he was basically a “good Joe.” He did what was morally right.

    Cain’s problem is ours: we are fearful and anxious if someone else seems to be getting ahead of us, and our anxiety is the root of our violence. But in God’s curse there is a mercy and a clue for brotherliness.

We are looking at the way we feel about differences, and what we do about that feeling. The Book of Genesis, in its opening stories, teaches us about what it means ...read more
