  • Justice, Love, Mercy, and Humility

    “He has told you, humanity, what is good, and what Adonai is seeking from you: Only to practice justice, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God”. Micah 6:8 Yeshua (Jesus) exemplified four traits very clearly for us to emulate. They are traits that we find throughout the Bible from Genesis to Revelation—He is just, loving, merciful, and humble. Furthermore, Yeshua said…

  • Faith Is Not Irresponsible

    “I am Adonai—there is no other. Besides Me there is no God. I will strengthen you, though you have not known Me, so they may know, from the rising to the setting of the sun, that there is no one besides Me. I am Adonai—there is no other. I form light and create darkness. I make shalom and create calamity. I, Adonai, do all these things.” Isaiah…

  • New Beginning

    I also heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, “Behold, the dwelling of God is among men, and He shall tabernacle among them. They shall be His people, and God Himself shall be among them and be their God. He shall wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more. Nor shall there be mourning or crying or pain any longer, for…

  • TROUBLED SOUL

    Show me favor, Adonai, for I am in trouble. My eyes grow dim with anger, my soul and body as well. PSALM 32:10 We are all susceptible to anger that darkens our soul and body; anger that clouds our thinking. The decisions we make when we are angry and when we have no peace may create…

  • No Other Name

    This Yeshua is ‘the stone—rejected by you, the builders—that has become the chief cornerstone.’ There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved!” (Acts 4:11-12) About two thousand years ago, God came to His own so that He might deliver us from the tyranny of sin and…

  • God’s Favor

    “Let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us. Establish the work of our hands for us— yes, establish the work of our hands” (Psalm 90:17). What does it mean to you to have God’s favor? The Psalmist prayed that God’s favor would be upon them and immediately followed up with a prayer…

  • Spiritual Examination

    Psalm 26: A Psalm of David.  Vindicate me, O Lord, For I have walked in my integrity. I have also trusted in the Lord; I shall not slip. 2 Examine me, O Lord, and prove me; Try my mind and my heart. 3 For Your lovingkindness is before my eyes, And I have walked in Your truth. 4 I have not sat with idolatrous mortals, Nor will I go in with hypocrites. 5 I have…

  • The Shrewd God

    “With the merciful You will show Yourself merciful; With a blameless man You will show Yourself blameless; With the pure You will show Yourself pure; And with the devious You will show Yourself shrewd. For You will save the humble people, But will bring down haughty looks.” (Psalm 18:25-27) The Merriam-Webster Dictionary describes shrewd “as having or showing a practical cleverness or…

  • Faith in Prayer

    ” I cried to the Lord with my voice, and He heard me from His holy hill” (Psalm 3:4). Do you pray knowing that God hears your prayer and has already given a response? One of David’s many gifts was his ability to pray with confidence that the Lord had already answered him. The Psalms can…

  • The Usurper

    “I have come in My Father’s name, and you do not receive Me; if another comes in his own name, him you will receive”. (John 5:43) It is difficult not to come to the conclusion that the Church in America has abdicated its authority to political usurpers who feed on it for political gain; like…
