Living in south Florida (where we spend 6 months of the year watching the weather) we have to be in a constant state of preparedness. There are certain items we buy leading up to the month of June that stay in a special place in our homes. We need several days worth of water, food, […]

Entering God’s Rest
The Sabbath is very important to God. He mentions it nearly a hundred times throughout the Hebrew Scriptures. Yeshua said, “If you have seen me, you have seen the Father. I and the Father are one.” So, we must ask, if the Sabbath is important to the Father, is it not also important to the Son? Absolutely! […]
Called Out of Fellowship?
Something interesting came up at this month’s Connections meeting. One of the guys mentioned that his friend was called away from fellowship for six months to learn directly from God on how to keep Shabbat. He asked, “What this right, or was this wrong?” Nearly everything we see in Torah – the entire Bible – […]
We Are Overcomers
“There is not a righteous person on earth who does [only] good and does not sin” (Ecclesiastes 7:20) However, [the righteous] subdue their evil inclination a hundred times. If they have succumbed to a sin once, they do not repeat it, to prevent becoming loathsome in their own eyes; and [so] they repent. – Rabbi […]
Urgent Times
This morning I read an article about David Wilkerson’s prophecy of the end times. The urgency presented in the article lines up with the urgency I have in my spirit about the time in which we are living. I know, you’re thinking that Yeshua’s followers have been preaching about the end since he left. Every […]
Utter Failure Can’t Stop A Faithful God
Today is the first day of Elul. It is the start of thirty days of fasting, prayer, and repentance. It is a a season to reflect on the past; to look inward and make reparation in our relationship with God, and with each other. It is a time of preparing for the Day of Judgement (Yom […]
The Day the Moon Fell 2
Well it happened again. I had a dream about the moon. I was with my family and at some point, TAK Connections (who, of course, is also my family). We were in a battle with evil forces (think Mission Impossible). We finally defeated the bad guys and made it home. We were celebrating our victory […]
Does the Grace Gospel Keep Us In Sin?
These days, we hear a lot about grace. There is a gospel circulating within Christendom that says, ‘God is love, come as you are.’ While this is true, God is love and calls us to come as we are, He loves us to much to let us stay that way. You see, sin separates us […]
Now I Get It!
The word of God is amazing! I know you’re thinking, “Duh!”, but a fresh revelation of God’s amazing word is necessary in our life to keep us from growing cold. This week I had just such a revelation. Over the last month I asked my fellow travelers (on this journey to Messiah) to complete a few studies […]
Warning: After Redemption – Sin
Have you ever noticed that after we are redeemed, temptation comes in like a flood? Think about it. I used to smoke. I smoked over a pack of cigarettes a day. I made the decision to quit several times. It amazed me that as soon as I simply made the decision to quit, the hankering […]
