“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.  His words mattered, in that they came from real personal stories.  When you think about words…

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…

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…

There are several Youtube videos, showing people confronting Christians who dare to preach another gospel other than “woke.”  Signs that ask for “repentance” are torn from the hands of believers, while woke mobs scream, threaten, slap, hit, and even spit.  And typically, even in the midst of all this, the attackers shouted, “If your God…

Did Korach start spreading his message of discontent in one day or do you think it started sooner?  Maybe his first words sounded rather upright to others; familiar words that resonated for personal reasons.  I ran across an article from FFOZ, called “How to Split a Congregation” which addresses a well-known problem . . ….

Have you ever been afraid to move forward?  Maybe some obstacles seemed too big in moving towards a new job, home, or opportunity and you decide to stay put.  Maybe you have been called by Yah to disciple or evangelize to someone, but you fear being rejected and doing nothing.  The Bible is filled with…

“In your going up” of daily living, have you ever considered the “laws” listed in the New Testament?  Believe it or not, the gospel of grace comes with a few laws–well over a thousand.  But no worries, I’m thinking we should only review a small list – the ones that keep us from dying in…

What would you do if a dust-throwing, coat-tearing, violent crowd accused you falsely . . . calling for your death?  Would you remain strong? How do we remain strong in YHWH?  I believe our strength is found in knowing our identity.  According to Scripture, we were made in the image of Yah. We are to…

Did you know that one cubic millimeter of brain tissue contains one petabyte of data?  What’s a petabyte?  It’s 1000 times larger than a terabyte, which is one quadrillion bytes. The average brain is 1,195,000 cubic millimeters in its size. This means the average human brain can hold 298,750 petabytes of data.  And you thought your recently purchased computer…

Have you ever had someone get upset with you because you asked a question about a Biblical text?  Maybe the verse or chapter you questioned wasn’t black and white or a “thus sayeth the Lord” moment, but the person responds anyway with something like, “that’s what the text says and if you don’t believe it,…
