Paradise Lost (1 of 7)
Series: The Shadow of the Almighty
Pastor Jeff Schreve
Genesis 2:25-3:7
There was a group of some aspiring student psychiatrists and they were taking a class and they wanted so badly to learn and to grow and to be a good psychiatrist when the time came and they were doing their school work. And they were taking a class on emotional extremes and the teacher began this graduate class and she came and she said "Now this is on emotional extremes so we are going to play a little word association game."

And you hear it so often people say "Well I am not going to let anyone tell me what to do. They are not going to push me around." So many people have a tendency to kick against authority, is that true of you ...
