Fruit or God

“…that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.” Eph 6:11b NKJV History, when considered, gives us opportunity to not repeat mistakes. Lately I’ve been aware of history in the Garden of Eden, specifically with Eve. When looking at the part of her story found in Genesis 3, I saw that her desire for the “fruit from the tree in the midst of the garden” didn’t originate in her. Her desire for that specific fruit was brought to her by the serpent. After drawing her attention to the fruit, he based his next move off of her interaction with him. What a manipulator!  The Enemy knows that - if he can interrupt us, distract us, if he can get us to dialogue with him, if he can make one thing so appealing that we begin to consider following his lead – his goal to turn us away from God is half reached. Since that time we’ve termed this function of his as “temptation”. We must beware because unlike Eve (and no thanks to her) we are born with a predilection for sin. While she contend

Church

Inside my life/outside the walls When I talk about “going to church” what do others hear? Do they hear talk of an exclusive club that has mystical traditions? Does the average American think of ‘going to church’ as people being dressed unusually well or hearing about an unreachable God? Do they immediately dismiss the idea of church because they feel that they don’t fit a certain image? What flashes through someone’s mind when they hear of ‘going to church’? I guess a lot of what they hear is indicative of our heart attitude when we talk about “the church”. As for me, when I say “lets go to church” what I’m saying is “lets go to the place where we meet with other people interested in participating in corporate worship (singing, prayer, Bible study and fellowship)." However, the church is a more than a place, it’s much more than a tradition, and it’s more than the particular group of people that I worship with. The Church is a living, breathing unit that is comprised of indiv
