Text: Genesis 3:1-13When Satan enters the garden, he goes to Eve first to tempt her, and not to Adam, who bears the authority. Satan knows that tempting Adam was best done through his wife. Adam was present, he heard the conversation betweenEve and the serpent, and he did nothing. Adam failed to perform his duty[…]
Text: Genesis 2:20-25This passage gives us another look at what we first saw in Gen.1:24, the creation of animals. Here, we have the added information that God’s new gardenkeeper, Adam, will determine the names of objects and creation. The giving of names shows authority.

Text: Genesis 2:1-8This passage tells us of the cultural mandate, namely; God’s requirement of man to work. One of God’s reasons He created man was for man to care for God’s special garden.

Text: Job 19:1-29 For the purpose of argument Jōb allows for the possibility that he has sinned (v.4). But he answers by saying that it has only affected himself. God has attacked Jōb with great force, but Jōb is only in a small tent (v.12). Everyone now despises him. So, he begs his friends to show him compassion. But[…]
Text: Jōb 18:1-21 Bildad begins by rebuking Jōb for not thinking about what he will say (he would like Jōb to stop talking), and for treating his friends rudely.

Text: Jōb 17:1-16 Jōb admits to being spiritually exhausted, and he is surrounded by people who mock him and his circumstances.
