I truly believe that all life is precious. From human life down to the darn squirrels I beep at to make sure I don't run them over. :-) So understand, this post is not in any way meant to treat lightly, anyone lost from Covid 19 (or anything else for that matter). While death is part of life, it...

Many don't realize, but the Jews do not have any control over the Temple Mount. It is controlled by the Muslims and they have a STRICT policy against Christians and Jews praying on the Temple Mount. The video below is showing Rabbi Yehudah Glick, a man once shot 4 times in the chest and...

At the Tower of Babel, God confounded the language into many because He said, "they are one people, and they have all one language; and they have reasoned to do this thing; and now nothing will prevent them from doing that which they have imagined to do." (Gen 11:6) In other words, the people...

In the US over recent years, there have been hundreds of mass shootings. It's not arguable to say that all of the rest of the countries in the world combined, have not had anywhere near the amount of shootings we have had here. The question is, what is the cause? Social media is full of people...

After the Sabbath, on the first day of the week at sunrise, the two Mary's found the tomb empty. That day also marks the first day in the count of 7 Sabbaths plus one day... count 50 or Pentecost. This Sunday is the 50th day. It was a day tied to the wheat harvest (who are the wheat? :) ) and it...

I could just answer “yes” and walk away. :-) The reason I can't, though, is because there is a misunderstanding when it comes to God's law. The word for law in Hebrew is Torah, it literally means, “instruction.” Thus the law becomes the compilation of what God desires... or doesn't desire... for...

My brother just saw a church sign and texted it to me (he does this often) and this one is one of the best I have heard yet. "Dear God, please make me the man my dog thinks I am!" :-) Anyway... I thought I would give you all the chance to share some you've seen that are really good... or...

Greetings. I have a question that I would like ex-atheists who are now believers to answer. The question is simple... what changed for you? I have a friend who claims to be an atheist but who is now starting not have the ability to reconcile the idea that our sentience and love for others will...

Before Adam sinned, in fact, before God even created Adam, He knew Adam would fall. There are two places in Scripture that makes this clear: 1. A lamb slain from the creative time of the world... Rev 13:8 All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the...

A little foundation.... In English, the word "name" carries the idea of reputation ("I can trust John, he has a good name") but in the last 30-40 years, the weight of meaning is on what we call somebody, rather than on the person's reputation. In Hebrew, the word for name (shem) can refer to a...

I have recently had a number of discussions with Christians from various walks about guns in the church or around certain ministries. Before I begin I want to make it clear, I do NOT live in fear but I am also cognizant of the increasingly dark world in which we live. One thing I like to teach...

I would like to share some thoughts about religious attitudes and how we might profane God's name. I am going to use Billy Graham as the example because it is current. Let me start with a quick but important lesson in Hebrew. In the Hebrew language, the word for name is shem. Shem refers to...

I was recently asked about my take on the first few verses of Romans 13. I decided to give my own commentary to them and I've decided to share it here as well. I realize that this will be balked at by some, but I think if read through completely, you might see the logic behind why I believe...

One of the phrases that repeats many times in the bible, and is one that I believe is very misunderstood in the West, is "in the name of." In the West, especially in the US, the idea of "name" has far more weight on "what we call somebody" rather than the character or reputation of that person...

Here is an interesting thought I have been considering for some time... When God confounded the language at Babel, He gave this reason: Gen 11:6 And the Lord said, "Indeed the people are one and they all have one language, and this is what they begin to do; now nothing that they propose to do...

Dr. Rivkah Adler (an Orthodox Jewish woman living in Israel) compiled and edited testimonies from non-Jews who feel drawn to Torah. The book was released in Israel a month ago and has created a small stir among some Jewish people in the land. :-) I was blessed to be able to contribute a chapter...

We have a number of verses that make the subject statement clear, God does not change. He is the SAME, yesterday, today, and forever. Therefore, ANY doctrine we develop that causes God's character to change or His authority to shift, is changing the Word of God. It doesn't mean we have done an...

Recently our congregation was studying the book of Numbers and we came across how each individual family group (of Levi) were given specific jobs as related to the Tabernacle. One group would take down, carry, and put back up (when they go to their next location) the crossbeams, and another the...

There are a great deal of similarities between Adam and Yeshua (Jesus)... or the First and Second Adam. Both came into this world without sin. Both were tempted with sin. One gave in and the result was death... the other did not and the result was life.. the breaking of the curse of death. But...

When one reaches a poor conclusion in their biblical studies, it is rarely a sign of an evil heart. Instead, it is generally a sign of one needing better teaching. Yet how often do we assign an evil motive to, or see others assign an evil motive to, one who doesn't believe as we do? Yes, we are...
