The passages describing the workings of Tabernacle, its services, its structure, and those who cared for it, are so full of details that they are often perceived as some of the most boring parts of the Torah. Yet these detailed commands are repeated over and over again. Why? For instance, why does the Torah need…
I’ve only known a few people in my life who enjoy paying taxes. For most, it’s a hard endeavor; not only because it may be painful to give up money, but that it seems unjustified. Typically, people like to give from their heart, especially if it’s an honorable project. In this week’s study, we see…

Common denominators of evil are becoming rapidly transparent in the world today. A New World Order of artificial intelligence built entirely on lies and deception seeks to destroy life, bringing us to a “famine in the land” devoid of Yahweh and His Laws, in an effort to create a new god. Can the agenda…
For many, it’s hard to come clean. Our pride gets in the way when we become compelled to admit our belief system may be flawed or that a participative action was misplaced.

Are you longing for a rest? Many of us find rest when we experience a vacation. It’s typically a time to refresh ourselves; to gain a new perspective.
