Satan, the World’s First Feminist
Adam did battle with Satan in the Garden Paradise and lost. It was a no-contest, really. By the time round two came around, Eden had been a distant memory and Satan had home-field advantage. The desert wilderness couldn’t have been a more ideal setting to tempt the Second Adam.
And once again, the devil used food as bait. This time it wasn’t the delicious fruit of a tree in Paradise, it was mere bread. But after fasting forty days and forty nights, our Lord was famished.

Reformation Rush Hour – Doctrine on Vocation, KFUO, Marriage and Order of Creation
With guests Rev. Seth Clemmer, Rev. Rod Zwonitzer, Rev. Eli Lietzau
