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…

Parashah T’rumah — Part One: The Mystery of the Dwelling begins in a hush rather than a thunderclap. After the fire and trembling of Sinai, the Holy One shifts from overwhelming revelation to something far more intimate: “Let them bring Me an offering… from every heart that is willing.” It’s almost unsettling in its gentleness.…

The mountain was still trembling when God shifted from thunder to tenderness. Israel, freshly rescued from Egypt, stood at Sinai with the dust of slavery still clinging to their clothes. They had done nothing to earn their freedom. No rituals. No commandments. No moral résumé. God saved them because He loved them, and because He…

Science has given us extraordinary tools to explore the world, but the deeper we look, the more the universe behaves like something meant to be understood. Far from pushing God out of the picture, discovery keeps uncovering patterns, principles, and mysteries that look suspiciously like fingerprints. These seven clues don’t force belief—but they make disbelief…

Parashat Mishpatim — A Covenant Shaped Life Exodus 21:1–24:18 • Jeremiah 34:8–22; 33:25–26 • Matthew 5:38–42; Matthew 17:1–8; Hebrews 9:15–22 After the thunder of Sinai fades, something unexpected happens. Instead of more fire, more shaking, more awe‑inspiring spectacle, HaShem brings Israel into the quiet, ordinary spaces of life. It’s as if He whispers, “Now that…
