Are Jewish observances okay for a believer in Yeshua to keep? Do they offer us any advantage? Should we go by the premise that because Jews do not accept Yeshua as the Messiah, we should have nothing to do with their observances or writings? Who Are the Jews We’re Supposed to Go? Okay, I’ve heard…

Words & Matters or “Words Matter?”
“Back in the day,” I can remember asking Grandpa about particular family stories. Hearing his words gave me a feeling of belonging; not to mention a good laugh towards incidences experienced by others that were similar to my own.

How to Create a Biblical Nation!
I’m sure many of you have heard or seen the following statement: “We only follow the Bible!” It is probably the most commonly given proclamation by any church, fellowship, small home group, or individual. Why does this happen? What is the missing link, that causes believers in The Word to disagree on who has the…
How Can We Be Zealous Today?
It’s easy for us to read or hear about Biblical characters such as Phineas, Elijah, Esther, John the Baptist, the disciples, Jehu, Moses, Mary, Elisha, King David, and many many others who were zealous for Elohim. But, is there anyone willing to take a stand today? Would you be willing to confront a ruler, speak…

And typically, even in the midst of all this, the attackers shouted, “If your God…
