    "Two Criminals, Two decisions, One solution" (Luke 23:39-43)

    TWO CRIMINALS, TWO DECISIONS, ONE SOLUTION: (Luke 23:39-43) It happened more than 2000 years ago; we all know the story. It was on one of the sadder Passover celebrations, yet the thousands of Passover lambs sacrificed years prior all led to this one sacrifice, the Lamb of God, who would...

    A look at

    ISAIAH 54:11-55:5 The Prophet Isaiah speaks as directed by the Holy Spirit, as a father who comforts his children, promising them blessings, but begins with “Unhappy, storm-tossed one”, meaning that Israel has been through a lot, deportation to Babylon, destruction of the temple, scattered...

    "Seeing with Spiritual Eyes" (either the Blessing or the curse)

    Parashah: “Re’eh” (see) DEUT: 11:26-16:17 Re’eh means “see,” yet it is not so much “physical sight” but “insight” To be aware of following the LORD , his commandments, through our faith walk. It is also about “understanding” (Binah) Adonai’s will for us, understanding more Torah...

    A look at Isaiah 49:14-51:3 and John 7:1-8:59

    ISAIAH 49:14-51:3 Israel cries out, “The LORD hath forsaken me and forgotten me,” but the prophet, through the Holy Spirit, assures the people, NO, the LORD has NOT forsaken you. There is a big difference between “abandonment, forgetfulness, and chastisement”. The fact that YHVH has...

    interesting thoughts. In the end, our "dust" will be "recomposed" at the end some will be resurrected to enjoy eternal life in Heaven, and others, to damnation in the Lake of Fire. Their "dust" will be recomposed in the form of bodies to endure eternity. Holy bodies to accompany saved...

    PARASHAH; “V’et’ Chanan” (and I pleaded) DEUT 3:23-7:11 Moses continues to recount the experiences of his life to the Children of Israel as his life comes to a close. He is like a father on his deathbed, and causes all of his children to come near and listen to their father’s experiences, or...

    "Walking life's journeys" (Numbers 30-36)

    Bible study portions “Matot v’ Masei” (Tribes and Journeys of) Numbers 30:1-32:42, 33:1-36:13 We need to be careful when making “vows.” Adonai takes seriously “promises” that we make, especially using “His” Holy Name (YHVH). We might have said in times before words like: “I swear to God that...

    "Showing ZEAL for God!" (A Look at Numbers 25:10-29:40)

    PARASHA: “Pinchas” NUMBERS 25:10-29:40 This Torah portion starts with a somewhat surprising promotion in rank for an execution committed, and rather suddenly. Pinchas, the grandson of Aaron was a Levite, and during the time of the “weakness and falling away of the men of Israel, He took matters...

    Numbers 22:2-25:9 "Blessings from a pagan Seer!"

    PARASHAH: “Balak” NUMBERS 22:2-25:9 This is the famous story of Bilam, who was asked to “curse” Israel, and instead, “Blessed” Israel, yet before this, his donkey spoke to him. The name “Bilam” or Balaam” might be a shorter version of the name “Baal-haAm” (lord of the people). Some believe...
