    History’s two greatest battles were fought in Gardens. The Garden of Eden and The Garden of Gethsemane. Jesus won what Adam lost because He fought the battle on His knees. After Gethsemane, Jesus followed through but no longer struggled with the decisi

    This is an examination of what the Word of God teaches about the Christian’s participation in the military and carnal warfare.

The Church has debated this subject for 1400 years. Many theological scholars and Christian philosophers have ...read more

    Since the Garden of Eden, God has desired to walk with us and we with Him. Cain knew a time when God walked with him and reached out to him as sin grew in his heart. Does the beginning relate to todays world? Does GOD still desire us? Do we Ignore Him?

    Gen. 3:8 Gen. 4:6-10 Walking with God We first walked with God physically and spiritually, in the garden of eden. In verse Gen. 3:8 “And they heard the sound of God walking in the garden in the cool of the day.” We can see that Adam and Eve were so accustom to God walking in the garden that they ...read more

    From the story of Christmas, I learned practical lessons about SOVEREIGNTY, SOUL-MATE, SUBMISSION, AND SELF-SACRIFICE.
