The Sacrament of Stewardship
(c) Stewardship Advocates
Now I must wear garments of skins and fig-leaves;I am condemned to eat the bread of bitter hardship by the sweat of my brow. The earth is cursed, and brings forth thorns and husks for me. – Vespers on the eve of the Sunday before Great Lent
Woe to you, my wretched soul!You received authority from Godto take your pleasure in the joys of Eden,but He commanded you not to eat the fruit of knowledge.Why have you transgressed the law of God? – Canon for the Sunday commemorating the Expulsion of Adam and Eve from Paradise
The Lord had regard for Abel and his offering.
For Cain and his offering the Lord had no regard.
Cain is angryand slays hisbrother.
Cain went away from the presence of the Lord.
"How long will you be undecided between twoopinions? If the Lord is God, follow Him, but if Ba’al, follow him."
