Eve has been vilified throughout the ages as the first to sin and a seductress. Most early interpreters and many modern preachers continue to cast off the blame like Adam did for eating from the tree of knowledge of good and evil: "The woman you put here with me — she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it" (Gen. 3:12).
These are the last words we hear from Adam in the Bible. But after her own confession, Eve speaks again — twice.
What are the problems with Adam's response and how is Eve redeemed through the rest of the story in Genesis 4? |

October 16 — GAFCON, a conservative Anglican movement, has announced a major split from the Anglican Communion, rejecting the authority of the Archbishop of Canterbury and other Instruments of Communion. This decision follows disagreements over issues like sexuality and gender, culminating in the appointment of Sarah Mullaly as the Archbishop of Canterbury. The movement will form the Global Anglican Communion, a fellowship of autonomous provinces adhering to the Jerusalem Declaration of 2008. (Premier Christian News) |
| October 17 — King Charles III will make history as the first reigning English monarch in 500 years to pray publicly with a pope. During his state visit to the Vatican, he will join Pope Leo XIV in an ecumenical service at the Sistine Chapel in the first such event since the English Reformation began in 1534. It's a significant step in improving relations between the Catholic Church and the Church of England, reflecting ongoing efforts toward unity after centuries of division. (The Guardian) |
| October 17 — Why "Jesus"? The name is a transliteration of the Greek Iēsous, itself derived from the Hebrew "Joshua" (Yehoshua), meaning "Yahweh is salvation" — as when Matt. 1:21 declares he will "save his people from their sins." The name also evokes Joshua, Moses' successor, who led Israel into the promised land. While modern translations retain "Jesus" due to the King James Version's influence, the name's original meaning enriches our theological and scriptural understanding of His redemptive work. (The Gospel Coalition) |

No matter who our therapist is, which philosophy we believe, whether our government is liberal or conservative or fascist or democratic, we all keep failing to do the right thing, to live the right way. We know what we should do. But we don't do it.
How can we explain that?
The Bible's explanation is that human hearts are sinful. But more than that, the Bible tells us that we have become slaves to sin. |
| Paul urges, "Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind" (Rom. 12:2).
"Do not conform" is an admission that the world has an agenda for us; it wants to fit us into the same mold — a life devoid of God, independent of God, or even working against God.
We are reborn to think and live a new life. Too many believers have been "born again," getting wet in baptism, but they are trying to live by the same rules, values, and purposes of their old life, apart from Christ. They are not "reborn" in their thinking. This robs them of much joy, spiritual fulfillment, and witness.
As an example, I'd like to address a common lie that I heard in church. |
