Now the serpent was more crafty (subtle, skilled in deceit) than any living creature of the field which the LORD God had made. And the serpent (Satan) said to the woman, “Can it really be that God has said, ‘You shall not eat from any tree of the garden’?” [Rev 12:9-11] And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees of the garden, except the fruit from the tree which is in the middle of the garden. God said, ‘You shall not eat from it nor touch it, otherwise you will die.’ ” But the serpent said to the woman, “You certainly will not die! [2 Cor 11:3] For God knows that on the day you eat from it your eyes will be opened [that is, you will have greater awareness], and you will be like God, knowing [the difference between] good and evil.” And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was delightful to look at, and a tree to be desired in order to make one wise and insightful, she took some of its fruit and ate it; and she also gave some to her husband with her, and he ate. Then the eyes of the two of them were opened [that is, their awareness increased], and they knew that they were naked; and they fastened fig leaves together and made themselves coverings. And they heard the sound of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool [afternoon breeze] of the day, so the man and his wife hid and kept themselves hidden from the presence of the LORD God among the trees of the garden. But the LORD God called to Adam, and said to him, “Where are you?”

3 Days
We all have had difficult conversations—with our friends, spouses, children, etc. But what about having difficult conversations with God? In this plan, we talk about three different conversations: the conversation after you’ve just royally screwed up, the conversation when your future seems bleak, and the conversation when your emotions are raw.
In this plan we will discuss the headwinds of opposition as we strive to lead our lives as disciples of Christ making disciples by living with a Biblical worldview in a culture in turmoil over, pandemic, politics, and postmodernism.
Even the most experienced Christians can be fooled into allowing evil to gain a tiny foothold into their lives or their business operations. Over time, this can cause businesses to shut down and can have catastrophic consequences on our Kingdom assignments. In this Bible plan, I will discuss how we can recognize this threat early on and stop the slippery slope before it hinders our effectiveness in the marketplace.
In this three-day devotional plan, Dr. LaDonna C. Osborn explores God’s promises of a Savior who would come to redeem His people and give us peace. From the garden of Eden to Isaiah, from John the Baptist to Peter, we learn how the gospel of the good news of the Prince of Peace can inspire us today.
