Shove Them Apples


Renee Johnson
recently sent me a copy of her new book, Faithbook of Jesus.  Below is a brief excerpt.  You can learn more about the book HERE.  Congrats, Renee. 

It’s no secret that apples have been the source of controversy since the beginning of man. Do you remember your first Sunday school story? God created Adam and Eve, and they lived happily ever after. Wait. No, they didn’t.

They ate that stupid apple and got cast out of the Garden of Eden forever. Now the rest of creation has to suffer because they couldn’t listen to the one thing God told them not to do. Eat an apple.

What amazes me even more is how we still fall into the same trap that Adam and Eve fell into that day. The Enemy is “crafty,” the Bible says. He knows how to deceive and make us disbelieve.

If you’re hearing questions like “Did God really say that?” turn it back around and shove them apples back in the Devil’s face.
