And the Lord had regard for Abel and his offering,  but for Cain and his offering, he had no regard. So Cain was very angry, and his countenance fell.” Today's episode talks about how important it is to give God the first of our things instead of the last. It is important to do what we are called to do. It is important to give God what He wants, not what we want. God is calling us to deny ourselves and take up the cross. Are we doing this? How could we do this better?\nMusic:\"Adding the Sun\" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) \nLicensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License \nhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/"}
