Shalom, The political post for this week is concerning two important items for you to consider praying about, getting involved with or voting for or against. The First one is the Digital I.D. This is being pushed on us to have all of our information on one single digital platform. You can check it…
Last week, we brought up the concept of Abraham’s expanding tent. What does it look like and who does it include? For many, this tent belongs only to the lost tribes of Israel, meaning the lost tribes of Jacob. In fact, Yeshua himself stated, “I come to the lost tribes of Israel.” But are we…
One of the many things I enjoyed in Graduate School was the challenge of gathering knowledge while acquiring critique from a professor who would test my position.
