From Death to Life

From woman to Eve, "mother of all living!"

Genesis 3:20 And Adam called his wife’s name Eve; because she was the mother of all living. 21 Unto Adam also and to his wife did the Lord God make coats of skins, and clothed them.



Adam and Eve were to die on the day they ate fruit. They died. The beautiful things they had in the garden were gone. God threw them out of the garden of Eden.


As God spoke to Adam, Adam couldn’t believe his ears. Sin had brought destruction into their lives. Angels kicked Adam and Eve out of the garden! God cursed the ground, but God came to them. Our God is always coming to us, not in judgment, but in love. He came offering a sacrifice. God sacrificed an animal, shed the animal’s blood as a symbol of how Jesus would come one day and take on Himself the sins of the world.


Then he heard it. Adam and Eve would not die because a Lamb died in their place. They were going to live.

Adam turns to Eve and calls her the mother of all living. Not the lady about to die, but the mother of all living. Adam realized they were going to live and have children. Things aren’t over. They are just beginning.


Now they will see God showing His love and at work bringing them back to Himself. Adam realized it was a wonderful day of salvation. Adam names his wife Eve, the mother of all living.


Can you grasp just how incredible His story is? He loves us and is always coming after us! Adam saw and understood that.


After messing up so badly that it should have been over, God shows up. God paid their sin debt, covered their shame and gave them a new life. Trust Him today and all He has done through the cross of Jesus for you! That is what He has done for you if you but believe.

We need policies and control mechanisms but must learn not to rely on them exclusively. They undermine the very essence of a thriving workplace.

Your friends have left you. All earthly possessions are gone. Those you thought love you want you dead. What do you do?

Gratitude, a sentiment often tucked away in the recesses of our hearts, possesses the transformative power to enrich not only our lives but also the lives of those around us.

In January of 1987 Betty, the kids, and I arrived in Querétaro, Mexico to study Spanish. I literally didn’t know ten words. I am forever indebted to Georgia, Hermana Luisa, Webb for the language institute she ran for many years. She was strict. She pushed hard. Betty cried on more than one occasion. Without the challenge I know that I never would have learned the language. The language school gave me structure, discipline, help learning what to do next. Read the rest of the letter then go watch this video the BBF did of Miss Webb. When you get this letter, Lord willing, Betty and I will be in Mexico and we will be visiting this wonderful godly lady. I thought of this lady often over the years. I remembered how hard she had been on me. I remembered being tortured it seemed but I survived Hermana Luisa and she made me a thriving missionary.  Thank you Hermana Luisa for helping a red neck Tennessee hillbilly learn enough Spanish to do some ministry. God bless you. So know that language school might be very beneficial for you. Efficient Resource Utilization: Organized lesson plans and materials ensure learners make the most of their study time, covering essential language elements in a coherent manner. Clear Learning Objectives: Well-organized courses outline clear learning objectives, helping learners understand what to expect and what is expected of them. Resource Accessibility: Organized language schools provide learners with easy access to a variety of resources, including textbooks, multimedia materials, and language software.
