News is broadcast all over the world.
Some of the stories are encouraging, while others tell of the tragedies seen.
Stories that are so different in nature, but real just the same.
Back in the days of Adam and Eve, if there had been news broadcasts, there would have been a leading story of two boys, Cain and Abel.
They were not just from the same city but from the same family. They were brothers.
Same parents, same opportunities, opposite results.
One boy turned out great and the other turned out to be a murderer.
Each son had a calling on their life but had different attitudes regarding sin.
It is the will of God for everyone to have something to do in this world.
It is up to us which path we will take.
The offerings of Cain and Abel were different.
Cain showed a proud, and unbelieving heart. Therefore, he and his offering were rejected.
Abel came as a sinner and expressed humility. His sacrifice had a token that God accepted.
God told Cain that if he changed his ways and obeyed Him, he would be accepted, but Cain refused.
We are afforded the same opportunity. We can change our ways or remain in sin.
Cain in turn rebelled, stayed in sin, and killed his brother, Abel.
In all ages there have been two sorts of worshippers, such as Cain and Abel.
They are namely, proud, hardened despisers of the gospel method of salvation. Thinking that their way should be pleasing to God.
Cain showed anger against Abel and kept an evil spirit of discontent and rebellion against God.
God notices all our sinful passions and discontents.
There is not an angry, envious, or fretful look, that escapes His observing eye.
When we stand at the crossroads of choice, which path will we take? Obedience or sin? The way of Abel or Cain?
The choice is ours, choose well.
