Genesis Chapter 4

The Way of Cain refers to the ways of the world with its godless values and methodologies.  It is self-righteous religion in which arrogant men play the pipe and expect God to dance.  It is morality based on relative values rather than the absolutes of God’s word.  It is society functioning independently of God in every respect, excluding, silencing, or perverting His truth in government, law, education, music, literature, art, or any other institutions or activities in which men regularly engage.  For the average man it is his whole life, all he sees and hears, and all he will ever know so long as he continues in unbelief.  To live for Christ is to be set against the world – The Way of Cain (Jo. 15:18-19; Jas. 4:4; 1 Jo. 2:15-17; 5:4-5).
