No one expected such an outcome in this year’s mid-term elections. But yet, here we are. In just two short years, America’s vote for freedom changed to a vote of more warfare between classes, more government control, more hatred to Christianity, and an acceptance of hatred towards America and Israel. What happened? Can we trust…
Sometimes, we wonder if YHWH God will show Himself. We ask to see and understand, but due to our blindness we fail to see Him showing up at our door. At times, His presence is very clear. Other times, not so clear. Do we look forward to those times? Do we remember those times? As…
Matthew 7:11, “So if you, despite being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!” There are people who sometimes stand frozen when faced with a major decision. They wait for God’s voice to tell…
Back in the day, before Yeshua changed my heart, I had a temper problem. Even though I was small in stature, I would fearlessly oppose anyone or anything that stood in my way. That temper showed itself many times. When at home, I fought my brothers. And when at school, I would fight anyone who…
After spending a few days surrounded by magnificent trees and open skies for Sukkot, I am convinced it is time for the Hebrew Roots community to understand the difference between customs and direct instructions of YHWH. This may hit some personal buttons! But, as our world moves closer to chaos, I’m convinced we all need…
This week Angie and I celebrated our 45th wedding anniversary along the Deschutes River in Eastern Oregon. As we floated down the river, the quiet beauty overwhelmed us. We stopped to listen. When we did, we could “hear” for miles. The study of Ha’azinu means to “give ear.” This of course, would lead us to…
Some of you may be “standing here today” wondering if there is truth. On college campuses truth seems relevant. I’m sure you have heard it said, “I choose to live by my truth and not yours!” Imagine for a moment if this concept was followed in a sporting event. How soon would the game turn…
Biblical pictures are fascinating to me. Why? Because, the pictures show real people struggling with real issues. At the same time, the pictures show victory in the lives of those who learn to overcome by putting YHWH first in their life. In doing so, they set themselves apart from a self-centered cursed life to a…
I am often dismayed to see people flock to ministries promising wealth, miracles, and influence in the Name of God. The attendance numbers are staggering. Loud music along with a stage show entertains, while people wait in anticipation for the “apostle’s” words of encouragement while being reminded to give abundantly so they will receive blessings…
How do we see? For some it would be hind-sight. For others it can be blind-sight. And there are even those who use rose colored-sight. What type of sight does Yahweh want us to use? In my estimation, it’s how we view ourselves, others, and our circumstances that affect our Kingdom vision. Do the pictures…
