So, I’m reading this fantastic book, Yeshua: A Guide to the Real Jesus and the Original Church by Dr. Ron Moseley with a Foreward by Marvin Wilson, Ph.D. and I thought I would come here and share my thoughts on this great book as I read it. I stumbled upon this book when a group […]
These are my thoughts on Torah Portion Tetzaveh, this Shabbat’s Torah portion. At the beginning of this portion, we are told the children of Israel are to provide pure olive oil for the Light in the Tent of Appointment. Don’t you just LOVE that language… Tent of Appointment. Doesn’t that give such a clear […]
As I read this portion it is so obvious that Abba intended for there to be a pattern, a very precise pattern for the Tabernacle. One that Moshe took great care to follow to the letter. Precision. That is the word that comes to mind. Exodus 25:8 “They are to make me a sanctuary, so that […]
Tonight as I am studying this Shabbat’s torah portion, Mishpatim, I am listening to beautiful worship music. What a blessing to even want to keep G-d’s Sabbath. This portion is where Abba is about to give the Torah (instructions) to the Israelites. Not just Judah (the Jewish Tribe), but to all the tribes and the mixed […]
Wow… loved this portion. For such a small portion, there were so many important pieces in this one! Exodus 18:11 (So) now I know: yes, YHVH is greater than all gods- yes, in just that matter in which they were presumptuous against them! Exodus 18:12 Yitro, Moshe’s father-in-law, took an offering-up and slaughter- animals for […]
Shabbat started at sundown tonight ad I’m studying Torah portion B’Shalach. I absolutely love the opportunity to study His Word for an entire day and just focus on learning His Word and hearing His Will for my family. I have been studying Torah and reading the portions for five years. Each year I read from […]
I really thought I was finished… but apparently I’m not. I have not gotten much further in Bo. I’m now a little further in Exodus 12… but still have not finished the portion yet. As I continued to read about the Passover and the commands to keep it, these verses really struck me! Exodus 12:24 […]
Wow… I’m still studying Torah Portion Bo and now I have to write a Part Two. There is so much going on here in this portion!!! In this portion we have the command to keep the Pesach (Passover) as a memorial. First I looked up the meaning of Pesach, Gesenius gives a telling definition… Pesach: […]
As I’m studying Torah portion Bo tonight…I stumbled upon this reality. Honestly, I’ve been reading the Torah portions for FIVE years now and I still find these pearls I missed in my other five times reading the portion. It’s as if I never read them even once sometimes 🙂 Exodus 10:26 Even our livestock must […]
Do you make resolutions for the new year? For me, everything seems at odds with the New Year… out of sync. Yes, our calendars claim this date is the beginning of a new year, but it falls at the most inopportune time… in the dead of winter (in this part of the world), when everything […]
