Most of us that have attended Church would have heard this said to them some time or another, “the gospel is simple”. Is this really true? Is the gospel simply the message of the “good news”? Is it that Yeshua came to earth to pay the price of our sins? Or is there something...

Women of Israel and the Laver of God
The Torah outlines the magnificent, intricacies of the Tabernacle which was to be constructed according to the exact pattern shown to Moshe, in the Wilderness. The children of Israel were called to serve and meet YHWH at this place – where Heaven met earth. However the linen, wool, gold, silver, bronze and other materials required...

Understanding that the Torah is YHVH's guidelines to live a Holy Life!
Just this past week I found myself in a heated debate with a gentleman who said the following. “The Law of God is a curse and we need nothing more then the Grace of Jesus Christ in this life” To a degree I agree with him in that we can do nothing “no good work”...

Modern day readers of the bible tend to gloss over certain passages found in scripture. One of these “glossed – over” areas of scripture are the lists of genealogies found in the Tanach and the list of greetings found in the Brit Chadasah. The problem with this however, is that the names of the great men and women of Yah,...

The Woman at the Well and The Prodigal Son
Why wouldn‘t the Jews eat with the Samaritans? After all they were descendants of the Northern Kingdom who had gone into mixed marriages with those of the Canaanite tribes. They were related by birth to these people, but they would not sit down and break bread with them. Yeshua set a better example for us....

Returning the Torah to its Rightful Place
Today as I was sitting so many things were entering my mind as YHVH spoke to me about this world that we live in. We live in a time where there is no regard for the sanctity of life. Morals have been forgotten and values no longer taught within our education systems. We live in...

A Perspective on Eat, Pray, Love
As a literary fan and avid student, I have read and re-read Liz Gilberts perspective of life, thoroughly portrayed in her biography Eat, Pray, Love. Many believers have been drawn in with the thoughts and idea represented in EPL, however there is much that needs that rests in Hinduism and that strays from the Torah...
