Summary
Zac Poonen contrasts two types of believers represented by Cain and Abel: those who give God their leftover time, energy, and resources versus those who give Him their best. Using biblical examples from Genesis 4 and Malachi 1, he emphasizes that true worship requires offering God the very best, not what is convenient or surplus, and warns that compromising preachers who fail to proclaim this truth will answer to God when their congregants miss out on God's blessing.

Two streams from the beginningThe history of humanity can be seen as two distinct streams starting with Cain and Abel that eventually lead to Babylon and Jerusalem.

The difference between Cain and AbelWhile God accepted Abel's offering, He did not accept Cain's because Abel intentionally chose the very best of his flock.Genesis 4:3–8
Two types of ChristiansSome people give God their best, while others simply give what is left over after living for themselves.
The danger of giving leftoversGiving God the remnants of our time and energy is treating Him worse than a beggar or a guest of honor.
