Earl Tyson preaches on the “spirit of Cain,” the refusal to lay one’s life on the altar. He traces that refusal from Eden into a leper’s plea in Luke 5, “Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean.” Jesus’s own blood, he tells the Minnesota Koronis CFO in 1997, is “wise blood,” immune to whatever disease it touches. So no camper need fear reaching for the wholeness he offers.
