Did you ever have the Word of God jump off the page, land on your face and refuse to let go? That’s what happened to me over six years ago. I was reading through Isaiah 61 when all of a sudden verse 4 flew off the page, grabbed my face, and refused to let go. […]

Time to Stop Talking and Start Doing!
This morning I am setting aside discussions about our journey to our Jewish Messiah and asking all of us to stop talking and start doing. Doing what? Being a disciple. Doing the work of the Kingdom. This first starts with having a heart after God’s own heart. When Yeshua saw the suffering his heart broke […]
The Danger of Living Without Torah
There’s been an ongoing conversation on my friend James Pyles’ blog post “What Am I, Chopped Liver?” I attempted to jump back into the conversation several times, but with over 184 comments (as of Sunday night); I realized it wasn’t going to happen. But it’s been on my heart, and prattling around in my mind […]
What Does Holiness Look Like?
Did you ever wonder what holiness looks like? I mean, God calls us to be holy like He is holy (Lev 11:44, 19:2). Peter echoes this call in 1 Peter 1:13-16. But what exactly does it look like? Oh if Yeshua were standing before us, it would be pretty easy to recognize it. But how […]

So I was reading the comment section of James Pyles article “What Am I, Chopped Liver?” and thinking about my personal situation – that God has called me to […]

A few weeks back a group of us discussed Leviticus 25 where God instructed the Israelites to take a Sabbatical year once every 7 years, then every 49 years to take a Jubilee year. We were all thinking how wonderful it would be to take one year off every seven years, then two years off […]
Why Do We Go Through Hard Times?
Did you ever wonder why we have to go through such hard times? Sometimes we see no reason for it. Other times it all falls into place and we stand in awe of our God. This recently happened to me. Memorial Day weekend I attended a Christian gathering on the beach. It was something I […]
It Ain’t Over ‘Til It’s Over
It’s been over five weeks since Passover. In fact, it’s been exactly forty days, which is five weeks and five days since Passover. “So what” you say? So, it ain’t over. Passover starts with the selecting the lamb and doesn’t end until Shavuot. You see, the time between Passover and Shavuot is a walk of […]
Passover Celebration
This weekend was Pesach Sheni – Second Passover. It is the day God set aside for those who could not participate in the Passover celebration on the 14th of Nissan. I just love how our Father is the God of second chances. With as busy as life has been lately, I needed a second chance […]
