In the beginning God placed two tree in the middle of the garden of Eden. One was the tree of life and the other the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Adam and Eve were instructed by God not to eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. However, we all know how the story goes. Adam and Eve did what God told them not to do and plunged all of humanity into a life of sin and damnation! Wow, that's pretty dark you might say. Yes, it is but God... had a better plan. What about the tree of life, why didn't they eat from that one? They could have but didn't. We have that same choice today. Which one will you choose?

Prayer, How the Father teaches us to pray

Prayer has been made into some kind of magical, mystical, and unattainable endeavor that many in Christianity have relegated to Sundays and maybe one night a weekend for a "prayer meeting". Jesus, would often go into the wilderness, up on a mountain, or wherever He could find solitude so He could be alone and pray. But pray to who? The Father, His Father. If we are followers of Jesus Christ and that's what Jesus did should we not do the same? Prayer was His lifeline. Without it He would have not be able to do what He did and go through what He did. It was the relationship with His Father that not only sustained Him in difficulties but gave Him the power to be the Son that the Father was and is well pleased.

Christianity has been around since the day Jesus rose from the dead, well over 2000 years ago. It has been through numerous changes through out those millennia. God had and has a plan for the church, for Christianity. Satan wants to thwart that plan. How does he do that? By getting us to fight among ourselves. To make the normal seem to be extraordinary when in actuality being like Jesus, acting like Him, behaving like Him is what should be natural and normal. Normal Christianity is to be like Jesus, love like Him everyday.
