Working on the website for The Word, I completed the “Psalms of Ascent” this morning. These psalms were customarily sung during Pilgrimage to Jerusalem, as going to The Holy City is always considered an ascent. It was also custom to sing one of these fifteen psalms [120-134] on each one of the 15 steps leadingContinue reading “Ascend!”

Do you wonder why you see a Menorah every time you look at my page, ‘near ’bouts’? Did you know there are actually multiple “Menorah” lamps in the book of Revelation? Most people are not aware of it. There are seven in chapters 2 and 3, and ONE in Chapter 4 and 5. The MenorahContinue reading “Light”

Yeshua warned us. “Happy are you, when they reproach you and persecute you, and speak against you every kind of bad word, falsely, for my sake, then, be glad and rejoice, for your reward is increased in heaven; for in this very manner they persecuted the Nevi’im who were before you.” In having what IContinue reading “Blessed are those who mourn”

Shalom! Last night we celebrated “Havdallah”, or “Making Distinction”, to mark the end of the weekly Sabbath, called “Motzei Shabbat”, the departure of the Sabbath. But, last night was also the very Sabbath after our Passover, so it was also time to mark the First Omer [barley sheaf wave offering] of Bikkurim [Firstfruits]. Each week,Continue reading “Resurrection to First-fruits”

I have mused about this before. The Bible is too often, most often, ‘understood’ outside of its context: the 1st century, Jewish frame of mind. But, my topic today is PERSONAL context. Yeshua is often quoted out of context, and whole doctrines are built around those quotes. Is it any wonder that WE are doneContinue reading “Corn Text”

It is amazing to me how people these days do not WANT ‘truth’. They want their version of understanding, or world view, to be proven. They want to be ‘right’; but not according to actual TRUTH. This is a childish way to go through the world. Recently, I had a conversation with some children, pre-teenContinue reading “Musings”

Have you ever been to a Passover Seder? If you are in or could plan to be in our area this year, we would LOVE to invite you to our Seder. Here is why: Yeshua is the WHOLE REASON we do this. We so desperately want to share our Savior with the whole world. And,Continue reading “Sincerely, Come!”

We are reading about Pharaoh right now. That guy is a study in many disciplines, for the keen eye. In our portion, Israel has just left Egypt, and the people of Egypt are peeved that they don’t have a people serving them any more. I recently went through the same thing Israel experienced in that.Continue reading “Hardy Har Heart”

Yeshua’s name is hotly debated today by far too many people. Those in the Christian community are mostly content to call Him “Jesus,” and there is no reason to quibble over it with them. But, in the Messianic community, there are so many people creating ridiculous versions of His name that are not rooted inContinue reading “ישוע”
