Christianity For DummiesEpisode 34: Life After the FallGreetings one and all. Thus far our journey is taking us through all sorts of twists and turns that have brought us to our current title: Life After the Fall. What is God to do now? Their mandates were simple - tend the land, care for creation, and procreate. Easy enough? Not if you are human. The collective 'we', just as Adam and Eve were, are stubborn in our ways, and easily persuaded to do wrong.

Christianity For DummiesEpisode 27; God of Mercy, Grace and Love (Part 2)Time. Time is the one constant restraint towards all we would want to accomplish in our life-time.

As we read along on what is written, we are continuing to learn of God's personality, character, along with what He considers important.

Christianity For DummiesEpisode 7: And God SaidWhen anyone claims to hear from God personally, be very wary; just as when a person says there is no God.
