Genesis 9:20-21 Noah, a farmer, was the first to plant a vineyard. He drank from its wine, got drunk and passed out, naked in his tent. Oh no. After the struggle with Adam and Eve, one would have thought that we were now done with sin. But it was not over yet. Noah was […]
Read moreGenesis 4:25- 26 Adam slept with his wife again. She had a son whom she named Seth. She said, “God has given me another child in place of Abel whom Cain killed.” And then Seth had a son whom he named Enosh. That’s when men and women began praying and worshiping in the name of God.

Read moreGenesis 3:15 “I’m declaring war between you and the Woman, between your offspring and hers. He’ll wound your head, you’ll wound his heel.” I instinctively close my eyes whenever a snake appears on TV. I don’t like snakes at all, but for some reason, I follow a snake catcher from the Boland.
