Are you longing for a rest? If you have been fortunate enough to ever go on a vacation, I’m sure you would agree it’s on the 3rd day you finally feel “rested” enough to enjoy the break; and on the 7th day, you’re to the point of staying. Have you ever considered how these time…
Are You Ready for a Witness?
“You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life, and it is these that bear witness of Me, and you are unwilling to come to Me that you may have life.” John 5:39-40 These are the words of Yeshua as he confronted the “learned” scholars of the Torah. Imagine being…

Change Your Life
Are you ready to begin a new Torah cycle? Are you excited to have YHWH point out new revelations to you? I know I am. The other day, I saw something I had never recognized before. I couldn’t believe it. I have studied the Torah religiously for the last 22 years and found myself hesitant…
How Strong Are You?
Imagine you are Israel of old, preparing to go into the promised land. Your leader, Moses—the guy you knew since birth—the father figure who explained YHWH’s laws to you—the pastor who directed your spiritual life–the leader who made sure physical needs were met, and the general who led you to many victories is not going…
