Challenges from the Devil
We’ve been discussing Man’s fall from grace; and more specifically, the temptations the enemy invoked in tempting Man away from it. The devil challenged Eve with two things: whether God desires glory and perfection for Man (which would be to His glory) or not; whether God knows how to accomplish this goal or not. Eve […]
How the Enemy Helped Eve Doubt God
In the Garden, Satan tempted Eve to mistrust God’s good judgment: “You will surely die,” he said. Oh, how subtle is the devil! He challenged the judgment of God by pointing to an immediate consequence (death or no death) when the main issue was obeying God. He wedged himself between Man and God by getting […]
The Wrong Spiritual Food
We’ve been discussing the fact that God gave Man everything, and how we chose to live this life without His guidance. This has led us to misery, pain, and death. God desires that we be His children, growing into His Likeness, in perfect fellowship and community, governing with and for Him, His creations on earth. […]
What Caused Man’s Fall
The serpent is crafty and its craftiness is the primary way the devil deceives Man. Interestingly, God gave Man dominion over the serpent, so Adam and Eve should have enjoyed the ability to discern the lies of the serpent and rebuke it so that it would be forced to flee in terror. The power God […]
Passages on the Fall
Adam and Eve failed the test (temptation) as recorded in the Genesis 3, thus sin and death entered the world and snatched from Man the seed of his sonship of God. But Jesus triumphed over the devil, and more. He proceeded to willingly take on the will of His Father to become the sacrifice for […]
The Fall
God gave Man everything, but we chose to live this life without His guidance. This has led us to misery, pain, and death. God desires that we be His children, that we grow into His Likeness, in perfect fellowship and community, governing His creations on earth. After choosing our own way, natural Man is now […]
Question For You – A Son of God
God created man to bear His image and likeness and rule the world with Him as His perfect sons. When man fell from grace, we maintained His image but lost His likeness. The fullness of God’s plan was to send His Son Jesus to bear witness to His likeness to a broken world that it […]

Created in His Image, Destined for His Likeness

Day 2 & 3: Israel
This might be my last live mission trip update. The Calling posts were scheduled before we left, so those will continue, but we’ve managed to blow up two adaptars (mine and the friend next to me)…I don’t really want to ask to bother another one. Due to the limited time we get for sleep, that […]
