This is the season that several years ago, changed our lives forever. To be more precise, it was hindsight during the aftermath of this season that spurred our changing. In the midst of looking back over that recent ‘celebration’ of Christmas, we were led to go back to square one and determine the exact nature […]

I talk a lot. When you walk a Deuteronomy 6 lifestyle, it is part of the raising children package. Life is school, and as such it is a constant barrage of questions, answers and explanations. Sometimes, though, it is interesting to get the childrens’ take on what they have ‘heard’ during these discussions.
This morning we […]

Life matters. Because it matters to me, I am following Holly’s example and posting this Randy Alcorn blog post. Despite the Grace-Covers-Licentiousness doctrine speaking to the contrary, we will face a day when we will individually need to stand at Yah’s judgement throne and give account. That Day compels a lot of my choices on […]

This was the lesson that really started turning on light bulbs for me. I realize that not everyone has had the same experiences and upbringing as myself, but from where I have come…this lesson struck a nerve. I came from a family who told me that black people had evolved from apes, white people were […]

In the upcoming days, billboards all over Jerusalem will be plastered with a new poster on the eve of U.S. President Bush’s visit to Israel.

I’m just sayin’. He should.

Now that the holidays are over with all the visiting, parties and busyness, I for one am looking forward to settling in to a long winter’s study. We are two lessons away from moving into Section Two - which is the part of this study that shocked me at first, but led to many “Aha!” […]

I just wanted to update my notes about who is along with us in the study. I don’t mean for it to be a census of any kind, but mostly to update my personal prayer list. I have been praying for the ones that I know of who are joining us in the study, and […]

A Priesthood Change: From Levitical to Melchizedek’s

Often as I have been studying the Hebraic foundation of our faith, I have been blown away by how interconnected the “Testaments” are. I had […]

Happy Hanukkah to those who avail themselves of the blessings of observing this holiday! For those who do not, and wonder why a Gentile believer in Yeshua (Jesus) would want to celebrate this holiday, here is a great post by our friend Lisa, entitled “Why Hanukkah?”. In a nutshell, the events leading up to […]

“Oh, thank you…I appreciate your mentioning that. But, no Ma’am, we won’t be needing it.”
“Yes sir, they told us that you have a _____ (Children’s ministry/Sunday school/Nursery). Thank you for mentioning it again…if we need it, we’ll let you know.”
There have been times, when visiting churches, that literally four or five people in a […]

I’m sure it had to have begun much earlier, but this was certainly a defining moment in my spiritual journey. I know I heard him correctly, for the way this large man bellowed, no one could have missed it. His frankness in asserting that this was his “fifth time getting saved” left me dumbstruck.
His hair […]

Sorry for the delay! We’re working on a plan that will help with some of the technical difficulties some folks are having with being able to download the lessons. While we get the details worked out, let’s go ahead with the next lesson.
Lesson Five is here.

The word on the street is that we need to slow down a bit with our study. Sounds good to me, too. I have gone through the study before, but really, Mr. Visionary and I were so thirsty the first time that we flew through it in a weekend or two. It is richer this […]

This is a study that made me rethink a lot of beliefs I held tightly but did not own…things I believed because I was told they were […]

Sick and tired…all the time…is truly no way to live.
We have become very diligent about being trustworthy stewards of our physical health, in order to keep as far from the sick and tired state as possible. We stay fairly healthy most of the time, but have, for those times we do succumb to the sick […]
