* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . We've been told that the narrow is hard to find, and even less travelled. Why is that? Perhaps it is partly because we, in many ways, have not inherited a proper understanding of what it even is. In this episode we'll discuss some Bible texts that discuss this topic. Are you walking the narrow way? Let's find out!
* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . All of us have been guilty of cherry-picking Bible verses in order to promote what we want them to say. We will use a popular text in Malachi to drive home the danger of this error. If we are to properly understand, and fully apply the entire Word, we must be found doing all that we can to rightly divide the Word, and read It in Its entirety. Do you make sure that you're reading your Bible fairly and wholly *before* you make assumption...
* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . One must rightly understand that *false* accusations were constantly brought up against Messiah in order to judge Him unfairly. One is that He stated that, and acted as if, He was "above the Sabbath." So was He? Or did He disobey His Father's command to "remember the Sabbath and keep it holy", thereby instituting merely a constant "sabbath rest" now, with no longer a need for a set apart day? Let's find out! * In this episode I mention...
* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . Many people today are quite confused as to the purpose of Torah. I went 45 years of my Christian life, without any proper understanding of Its function. In my confusion and doctrinal error, I thought that it was a burden, a curse. In this episode we'll discuss many Scriptures that speak to the blessings of the Torah, for those who submit to It. Today, can you say, as David did, that Father's "Torah is perfect, reviving the soul?" Let's...
* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . We know that the Gospels tell us that Yeshua was "full of the Set Apart (Holy) Spirit." But is this attribute what gave Him the ability to be found without sin? Did He have an advantage since He was "fully Elohim" and "fully man?" Did He obey simply because He couldn't help Himself or did He perfectly please the Father because of something else? Do you know? Let's find out!
* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . Hebrews 12:28 speaks of "offering worship in a manner pleasing to the Father." The question we'll briefly address is how do we know how to determine what is pleasing to Him? What is our criteria? Can we simply now walk up into Yahweh's presence however we feel is best (because of Messiah's finished work) or is there something more? Let's find out!
* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . Psalm 119:142 tells us that Father's "Torah is truth." Was that true for David, the Israelites, the Jerusalem council in the Book of Acts... but somehow not for us? Is it still true but simply not applicable to the Believer today? In this episode, we'll ask these questions and more. What about you? Do you believe that Father's Torah is still truth today? Let's find out!...
* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . Despite the account of Peter and the sheet concluding with Peter's understanding and clarity of his vision, this text has been errantly used to justify eating whatever animals one desires. But is this stated conclusion factored into the doctrine that we've inherited? Is there something else for us to glean from this account? Let's find out! For an older PTZ video series that examines this in much greater detail, click here ....
* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . All throughout the Book of Ecclesiastes we see the writer speak of how "everything is meaningless" or "vain." But has this translation given us a proper understanding of life's events and endeavors? I would submit not. So what then is the writer intending to say? Let's find out! For more information towards how we "keep" the commandments, please see our " What It Means To "Keep" the Torah: Those Who Keep Are Kept " series....
* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . In Psalm 119 David cries out "open my eyes, that I may behold wonders from Your Torah." Perhaps one of the reasons that so many errantly believe that the Torah is a burden is because their eyes have not yet been opened. What a wonderful prayer for ourselves, our families and for all people! Do you see father's Torah as full of wondrous things? Let's find out!
* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . It's time to start our latest series! 10 Bible topics - 10 minutes each - for 10 consecutive days!
* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . As we conclude the series we use the Bible to highlight the importance of making sure we're following the biblical Messiah and not the vain traditions that we have inherited. If there is *any* religion, belief system, messiah or shepherd that comes in a way different than what was foretold, it is false and must be abandoned. Is there *really* only one way to the Father? Let's find out!...
* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . In this episode we ask some very hard and potentially offensive questions. Not for the sake of hurting anyone's feelings, but because it is imperative that we know the biblical criteria for the one TRUE Shepherd. Can you handle some tough challenges that solidify Who the one TRUE Shepherd is and if you're following Him and no other? Let's find out!
* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . In the first installment of the series we'll open with Yeshua's parable, in John chapter 10, that speaks of false shepherds that have entered the sheepfold. Also using Deuteronomy chapter 13, 2 Corinthians 11, Galatians 1 and Matthew chapters 21 and 24, we'll create some criteria for the One TRUE Shepherd. Are you following Him or a false shepherd? Let's find out!
A quick update as to where I've been and what to expect next.
* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . In this installment we move through many verses that reference Yahweh's "olam" ways. It appears again and again to represent ongoing, perpetual covenants with His People. Sabbath, His Feasts, His mercy, His righteousness, His judgments - ALL are "olam." With this in mind, is it acceptable for us to walk in "olam/perpetual" covenantal blessings yet entirely ignore "olam/perpetual" commands and consider them out-dated and "not for us?" J...
* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . The latest 2-part series gets underway as we begin looking at the covenant Yahweh made with mankind "for all perpetual generations." Perpetual is the Hebrew word "olam" and represents an ongoing, continuous and forever covenant. We will follow this word and repeatedly ask the question, does forever mean forever, or not? The Bible is full of patterns and Father's wonderful, "olam", ways. We will even connect the rainbow (Noah) with circ...
* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . In this episode I'll present a very a unique reason that I believe answers a lot of questions surrounding why Halloween celebration has infiltrated the Christian mainstream. (It is not what you might think!) If you're a Christian who does not celebrate Yahweh's Feasts and Sabbath, yet do celebrate Halloween, do you know why? We'll end by discussing what we are to do about it - in truth, gentleness and love - with hearts that want to pl...
* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . A brief and spontaneous discussion for those of us that can tend to get stressed over the "what now's" of life. Let us find the pace that Father has for us and keep moving forward, in His ways!
* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . A very brief and spontaneous video exploring the reality that we are in the "not-yet" while still in these mortal bodies of flesh. Recorded on the "equilux" day (that only happens twice a year) where light and dark are perfectly split into halves.
* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . After helping some friends load a moving truck, I sat down to share some thoughts towards how we can take deliberate action now to assess what we hold dear in this life. Is there anything in your life that may need to go? Let's find out!
* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . Some spontaneous thoughts towards whether we really want humbled and perfected or not. We may say "yes", but what about when it comes to us in a way that we would rather it not? How will we do then?
* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . The series wraps up as we discuss the "what then?" in response to the warning that judgment is coming. We prepare. And not by stockpiling food and supplies but rather we prepare our hearts. How? By pursuing righteousness, as the men that caught Yahweh's attention long, long ago did. We need discernment *now* to rightly prepare for what is ahead. Are you ready?
* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . In this segment titled, "Waiting Out The Floodwaters", we get into the real heart of the message. Using the timeline of Noah's riding out the waves of judgment, we'll establish that the time of judgment that is before us may be a time of silence, obedience and absolute trust. In this episode we ask a tough question: What if Yahweh is silent towards His People when an hour of judgment comes to the earth? Are we ready to endure a season ...
* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . In the second installment of the first section "Endure or Escape?" we continue to look at the simple fact that one does not prepare for what he does not expect to be a part of. Righteous men of the Bible were found doing something - righteous deeds - works. As is the case with Noah who "acted in accordance with everything that Yahweh had commanded him." Would Noah's faith alone have brought about his deliverance or was it necessary for...
* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . The series gets underway reading several Texts that clearly state that a time of judgment is coming. We'll present that the greatest issue of humanity, in the Days of Noah, was not so much about what they *were* doing but rather what they were *not.* We will also ask, "according to biblical texts alone, who were the ones taken and who were the ones that remained?"
* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . * This was recorded the morning of August 29. In this episode I share how I feel that we are entering a season of great judgment. Judgment that will go forth, beginning in Yahweh's sanctuary. Therefore, we have two options - assume that judgment will only fall on others (that we'd say are "deserving") and go about our business, or we realize that it involves (and affects) all of us who claim to be in the Body of Messiah and we prepare ...
* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . While reading the end of Luke chapter 22, we see the zealous disciples of Yeshua take action that SEEMS right, but actually goes AGAINST the will of the Father. Often, in our zeal and willingness to do what we think is necessary, we too can be found opposing what Father is allowing to take place, for His purposes. Let's talk about this and see how we're doing! In this episode I mention a blog piece that I wrote, back in 2017, from this...
* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . We have to be careful that we don't approach sharing the Gospel in a coercive, manipulative way that convinces the hearer that everything in their life will become perfect. How we understand and receive the Gospel greatly affects the Gospel that we share.
* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . As we peer back upon experiences in our lives, what do we do when some of them were simply not sourced in our Father? Do we throw it all out? Or do we sift through it all and allow what *was* from Him to remain? All that we go through is merely part of the journey!
