Use the Season
Enjoy this season of Chanukah and Christmas! No surprise to any of you that I believe we have been robbed by removing ourselves from the biblical calendar! HOWEVER I am grateful that we, at least in the west, still have a day when people are singing and listening to...

The reading in synagogues this week includes the portion from Deuteronomy 30, a prophetic description of many of our Jewish brothers and sisters who are back in the land as believers in Yeshua/Jesus. Paraphrasing Moses's words to Israel: When you have been scattered...
Remember
Shavu'ot 5774 Pentecost 2014 God is into calendar! “Remember” is a thread that runs from Genesis to Revelation. From the time God put the rainbow in the sky and told Noah, “I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant” (Gen. 9:16), to the...
