Living the Journey, Sharing the WORD

  • There is a verse every believer should tremble over. Not atheists. Not skeptics. Believers.  Yeshua says: > “Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord…’  > And I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you workers of lawlessness.’” These people were not outsiders. They called Him Lord. They…

  • The portion opens with a command for the people to bring pure olive oil so the menorah may burn continually in the Mishkan. Light becomes the first theme: a symbol of God’s presence, Israel’s calling, and the priesthood’s responsibility to tend what God has entrusted. The people supply the oil, but the priests steward the…

  • It’s interesting how people respond when someone begins exploring something unfamiliar.  Sometimes the reaction is warm curiosity… and sometimes it’s sharp, almost reflexive resistance. I’ve seen both. I’ve lived both. And I’ve noticed something over the years — not just in faith, but in politics, relationships, and everyday disagreements: People don’t fight because they’re evil. …

  • You ever notice how some people reach for the harshest labels — racist, xenophobic, homophobic, transphobic, Nazi — almost before the conversation even begins?  It’s fascinating, really… the way a mind can grab a conclusion long before it ever touches a fact. And when you watch closely, you can see something subtle happening beneath the…

  • In fact when you don’t feel God, that’s when he’s strongest, it’s pure faith. That’s where God lives, not in how you feel. Here it is, Brook — a full-length, polished, WordPress‑ready teaching article. It’s structured with clear headers, scannable sections, and a strong theological backbone. You can paste this directly into WordPress and it…

  • I came across a post today that really captured something important.  I don’t know the author personally, and I can’t speak for his full theology, but the message itself was solid and worth echoing. There’s a lot of noise out there about who the “remnant” is.  Labels, denominations, movements, claims. But Scripture gives a simple,…

  • Parashah T’rumah continues to unfold the mystery of a God who chooses to dwell among His people, and Part 1 already showed us how HaShem invited Israel into partnership by asking for contributions from willing hearts. The materials—gold, silver, bronze, blue, purple, scarlet, fine linen, acacia wood—were not random supplies but symbols of creation, covenant,…

  • Jesus is not pagan. But it’s also not a direct translation of Yeshua. It’s the English form that developed from the Greek Iēsous (Ἰησοῦς), which itself is the standard Greek rendering of the Hebrew name Yeshua. Greek didn’t have a ‘sh’ sound, so Yeshua became Iēsous, and later Latin made it Iesus. English eventually standardized…

  • Most Christians love Paul’s letters—and rightly so. But here’s the uncomfortable truth: you can’t fully understand Paul unless you understand what he understood. Paul didn’t have a New Testament. He wasn’t quoting Galatians or Romans. His Bible was the Torah, the Prophets, and the Writings. If a believer wants to grasp Paul’s arguments, his metaphors,…

  • Most people don’t know what to do with me when I tell them Kenny and I live out of my van. They tilt their head, squint a little, like maybe they misheard me. Then comes the follow‑up question — “What’s your address?” — and I watch their face do that slow-motion collapse when I tell…
