This blog post is a continuation of Covenant 101. In the last post I tried to show how there is one eternal covenant between YHVH and the seed (offspring) of Abraham and how that covenant extends to the entire world. I also tried to establish Yeshua’s place in prophecy and his position as “The Prophet”Continue reading “Covenant 102”

Covenant 101
If you ask the average Christian who Yeshua is you will usually get some answer along the lines of “he is my lord and savior”. Possibly, someone will say “he is God” or, he is “the son of God” or “the Messiah”. I don’t think enough Christians have really thought about who he is andContinue reading “Covenant 101”
The Congregation
A couple weeks ago I visited a messianic congregation near where I live. For those of you that do not know about the Messianic Christian movement here is a brief overview. The Messianic movement is a Christian movement that combines Jewish and Christian beliefs. Messianic Jews believe that Jesus was the Messiah and that theyContinue reading “The Congregation”
Priorities
Someone wise once said “Don’t tell me what your priorities are. Show me where you spend your money and I’ll tell you what they are”. Someone even wiser once said “No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the oneContinue reading “Priorities”
The Sermon
I was reading the sermon on the mount a couple of nights ago. It is found in the book of Matthew starting at chapter 5 verse 1 and goes on to chapter 7 verse 27. I think it is good to reread it from time to time as it is the longest sermon we haveContinue reading “The Sermon”
Pharisees
Mark 7:1 Now the Pharisees and some of the experts in the law who came from Jerusalem gathered around him. 2 And they saw that some of Jesus’ disciples ate their bread with unclean hands, that is, unwashed. 3 (For the Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they perform a ritual washing,Continue reading “Pharisees”
Superiority
Let me start this blog by telling you about something that happened to me a yew of years ago. I decided it would be interesting to get one of those DNA test kits that tell you about your genetics and an approximation of where some of your ancestors probably came from. I mailed off theContinue reading “Superiority”
Seduced
The longer I study the Bible and pray, and the longer I observe the christian church and the world, the more convinced I am that there is a great deal amiss. I read the words of Yeshua in the gospels and he gives us clear instructions. Some things He tells us to do, and someContinue reading “Seduced”
Teaching
I passed by a church a few weeks ago and on the sign out front it said something like “Bishop John Doe Apostle and Pastor Defender of the Apostolic faith”. I couldn’t help but chuckle a bit at the pretentious title this man gave himself. I’m sure he is probably a nice and sincere fellowContinue reading “Teaching”
Additions
James 3:1 Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers and sisters, for you know that we who teach will be judged with greater strictness. This verse scares me. I think about it a lot. I don’t want to be judged any more strictly than I otherwise would have. Still, I feel compelled toContinue reading “Additions”
