Genesis 4:1-16. The first news story in the Bible is Cain Slays Able. Cain and Able were brothers. They grew up together building forts, carving their initials in the trunks of trees, swimming in the river. As young men they build their altars to offer their praise and thanks to God. One is accepted the other rejected. Abel makes the team, but Cain is cut from the roster. That’s the jungle where envy lurks. Cain lives in your soul as he lives in mine. We must be especially alert for him as we walk three pathways and when we are affected there’s only one antidote.
