Pastor Joey Bonifacio spoke on Genesis chapter four today
To God, brothers Cain and Abel each took a different way
Being religious like Cain focuses on works and compliance
Having faith like Abel involves trust and on God, reliance
The Lord God asked Cain why he was angry, per verse six
How do we react when others point out something to fix?
He who hates correction is stupid, Proverbs twelve says
For we are all imperfect and need correction, even a Pres
God kept talking to Cain about doing right, per verse seven
In the Bible, it was the first mention of “sin", not from heaven
Desires lead to sins which lead to death, per James one
Through sin, our perceptions of truth and right are undone
Which then affects our attitude, our actions, and our identity
For sin’s trajectory pulls us away from God and His serenity
Faith helps us overcome sin in three ways, Joey did say
Proverbs three says trusting in God’s Word is the way
That allows us to turn to His ways , per Isaiah fifty five
So we can tap into God’s power every day we are alive
God wants us to operate within a range, to avoid extremes
We do not need to be poor nor engage in greedy schemes
Our bodies are temples and are not to be idolised or abused
Both hedonism and aestheticism can leave us confused
Sin is like a crouching lion, waiting to pounce and destroy
But Jesus is a lion whose strength we can always deploy
And if we trust, turn, and tap into God, the real McCoy
We can experience righteousness, peace, and true joy
