Testing times
On the first Sunday in Lent, we read the account of the Fall in Genesis. Adam is placed in the Garden of Eden and commanded to care for it but warned not to eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Later, the serpent deceives Eve into eating the forbidden fruit, shared with Adam; they both realise they are naked and cover themselves.
Half-truths and deceptions can be so convincing, making it easy for us to succumb to temptation without noticing. We live in a world where the media can share unchecked reports and AI can generate facts or images in an instant: this week we explore how our trust in God must guide us to discern how to live with testing of wants and needs as well as truth and uncertainty.
