In the Old Testament, the word “humble” is used synonymously with subdue and bring low. So, the admonishment to humble yourself before YAHWEH means to bring yourself under permanent subjection to the authority of GOD to the degree that you disable any further resistance to His commands. In other words, will you totally submit yourself... Continue Reading →
The Call to Bask In the Light
A lot of things happen when the light comes on in a room. The first thing that happens is that darkness is eradicated. YESHUA HAMASHIACH came into the world and destroyed the dominance of darkness. The Slanderer came into the world to lead a revolt against light by spreading lies. Now Christ has come with... Continue Reading →
Repenting Clears the Way for Life
I am visiting one of the many foundational principles of the Christian faith which I find is often partially understood: Repentance. John the Baptist was sent before Christ proclaiming, “Repent, and prepare the way for the Lord!” 3 For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one...

Death by truth, or living a lie…What will you choose?
Rebellion against GOD and truth is as the sin of witchcraft because in rebelling from the truth there is a will to craft a different reality based on the pride of self. That act is to say, you want to be your own god or creator. 1 Samuel 15:23 says, “For rebellion is as the... Continue Reading →
Don’t Be a Fool
picture by Jan Matejko, 1862 Simple math tells us that 0+0=0. For there to be something, then it had to come from something. We know that something or rather someone to be GOD.

The Record of GOD Endures for All Generations
There are many fishers of men but there are few that gather with Christ. When recruiting disciples, Christ told men that if they would follow Him, then He would make them fishers of men. Our focus should not be on the fishing but the following of Christ. He has already said if He is lifted... Continue Reading →

“I don’t know what tomorrow holds, but I know who holds tomorrow.” That is something that I often share regarding the peace and stillness that the knowledge of GOD has afforded me. YESHUA HAMASHIACH, Christ our Lord, taught that knowing the truth would make us free, and it does. To be clear, Christ defined truth... Continue Reading →
Christ and the Verdict to Ceasefire
51 Now it came to pass, when the time had come for Him to be received up, that He steadfastly set His face to go to Jerusalem, 52 and sent messengers before His face. And as they went, they entered a village of the Samaritans, to prepare for Him. 53 But they did not receive Him, because His face was set for the journey... Continue Reading →
Be Among the Few
The Apostle Paul used the analogy of an athlete striving for mastery, and how the athlete isn't crowned unless he stays within the parameters of the rules of the competition. We live in a generation where among those seeking a heavenly crown it is promoted that grace allows for bending the rules. This is a damnable... Continue Reading →
