In Proverbs chapter 1, we see one of the many references of a naive one. Biblically, the naive are ones who are easily persuaded and enticed. In this age of deception at every turn, what is one to do in order to avoid being deemed as such? As usual, there are biblical criteria that Wisdom is declaring. Do you want to know what that is? Let's find out!
* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . If you're like I was, you may presume that the use of the words "holy convocation" in the Bible is directly referencing a gathering, an assembly or perhaps even a congregation. In the English language, you'd be right. But what if it means something much different, in the Hebrew text that it was penned in? This episode will explore finding the correct meaning and purpose of a "miqra kodesh" - a holy convocation. Do you want to make sure...
What, if any, connections can be found when we set the observance of Father's Day beside the keeping of Yahweh's Feasts? Let's find out!
* This originally aired on June 3rd as a video episode on YouTube HERE . In this episode we’ll attempt to highlight some of the many connections between the giving of the Torah, in Exodus, and the events of Acts chapter 2. If we follow biblical prophecy, we see that one of the primary purposes of Holy Spirit’s coming is to empower men to obey. If we unhitch the giving of the Torah from the giving of the Spirit, we come up short and miss Father’s covenantal purposes. I believe that it’s time we r...
If I told my Christian friends and family that I was going to start calling the "God of the Bible" Allah, they'd write me off even more than they already have. Interestingly however, when asked why they only say "God", many would also say that His Name just doesn't really matter. After all, "He knows Who I'm talking to", right? So which is it? Does His Name matter or not? This brief episode challenges us to remember that Yahweh's great Name is a reminder that He wants us to intimately know Him, ...
Using a popular Christian song from 1983, we'll discuss the dangers of forsaking a proper theological foundation. In an effort to "be free" from legalistic behaviors, many have traded in the necessity of Bible study and knowledge for encounters and experiences alone. So where do we go from here? Let's find out!
In the Gospels we read of Yeshua sleeping in a boat alongside His wide-wake disciples. He is at rest. They are in great turmoil and distress. He is awakened and corrects them for their "little faith." And then He calms the storm. Here we see our story. We need to admit that we're in need of help and rescue. Equally, wer'e in need of correction. And we need One Who will calm the storm. Today, Messiah will do the same for you. Do you know this? Let's find out!
Can we just read the Bible and then interpret whatever we see however we wish, in order to make it personally applicable? When we take the time to stop and rightly think towards the biblical authors letters, we see that they were speaking to a specific people, within a specific context. Do you know this? Let's find out!
This short episode highlights the value of making it a habit to recall the awesome works of Yahweh in our lives. Do you do this? Let's find out!
* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . Using a real-life example of purchasing counterfeit coins, we'll discuss the importance of properly testing the spirits, as we're told to, in 1 John chapter 4. Just like the natural, there are two primary spiritual identifiers that can help us to discern well - Sound and Substance. Feelings and emotions alone are absolutely not enough. So, how do you tests the spirits in your own life? Let's find out!...
* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . When I was reading the account of King Josiah, in 2 Kings chapter 22, I felt like a light came on towards an intriguing connection. The high priest, Hilkiah, finds the Book of the Law and brings it out into the light. All over the Earth, in this generation, it seems that the *Great High Priest* is doing the exact same thing, right now. Josiah's response to what he hears, as a righteous man who does not turn to the left or to the right,...
* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . In John chapter 4, we see an interesting contrast between Yeshua's students and the Samaritan woman at the well. Some are found more concerned about natural circumstances and another is ready to truly listen to Messiah and receive the living waters that lead to eternal life. This account shows us the great value in receiving the word of truth, when it is rightly heard and personally applied. On the other hand, too often we are all like...
* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . In this episode we'll set the account of Yeshua healing the man at the synagogue (with the withered hand, in Matthew 12) alongside Deuteronomy 22 and Exodus 23. If one studies the entire Word, from cover to cover, he will see that Yeshua never needed to exalt Himself over His Father's Law. In fact, all that He did was a perfect demonstration of It in action. Messiah endorsed and obeyed Torah completely. And He perfectly implemented It ...
* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . In this episode we'll extract five key attributes of Noah, from Genesis chapters 6 and 7. He was the perfect example of 1 Peter 4:18, which tells us that "it is with great difficulty that the righteous will be saved and delivered." How do we be sure that we qualify as ones who are righteous? If we are in fact found in the camp of the righteous, according to Yahweh's criteria, what do we do then? Let's study the life of Noah and find ou...
* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . With the eclipse on everyone's minds (and only 24 hours away), I wanted to share some challenges to prepare to embrace any changes that may come in our lifetime. We'll look at Deuteronomy 8, Proverbs 14 and Hebrews 11. Are we postured to receive Father's provision, in the midst of His judgment and discipline? Let's find out!
* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . In this episode, we'll examine Genesis chapter one's explanation of why the lights in the heavens hold such great significance. Psalms tells us that they DECLARE. They SPEAK. They REVEAL. They have a VOICE and utter WORDS. With this in mind, what, if anything, should we be found doing in regards to the 2024 solar eclipse? Let's find out!
This audio-only episode is not intended to be accusatory or rude, but rather explores specific quotes from the Catholic encyclopedias and catechisms that inform us why the festival of Easter is celebrated today by mainstream Christianity. This is merely historical quotes, and then commentary towards them, in order to help us rightly understand why Easter has replaced Passover in the modern Church. Do you want to know? Let's find out!
* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . In this episode we'll list five examples of how the religion that we have inherited has removed what the Bible says towards a matter. "I know what the Bible says about _________, but 'we know better now'" is found as surprisingly predominant in our belief systems, when one begins to see it. We will culminate with a solution. Humility. Unbiased study of the Word. Do we *really* "know better" now? Let's find out!...
* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . In this episode we'll highlight Deuteronomy chapter four's command to "not add to or take away from" Yahweh's commands. The non-believing Pharisees of Yeshua's day "added to" and today's Christianity is "taking away from." Both are equally guilty. So what about us? Are you striving to be free from *both* of these errors? Let's find out!
* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . We'll take a few moments to peer into the situation when Yeshua sends out two of His disciples to retrieve a colt, for His use. I believe that there are many levels of consideration within this account, worthy of our examination. Yahweh invites us all into the wonderful unfolding of His provision and plans. Sometimes we get to be the one to go and "get" and sometimes we'll be the ones that watch our animal walk away. Are you postured t...
* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . In an age where morals continue to decline and organized religion walks further away from black and white lines, where is a man to turn, if he wants to be found holy and set apart? The answer is clear. We've been shown how to walk. What did Yahweh declare through Moses thousands of years ago? What did the Jerusalem council instruct those coming into the New Covenant to do, and why? And how did the new converts receive the commands that...
Some commentary and encouragement for those who are hearing the call to come out and be separate. Many biblical accounts record men *starting* with the Torah and the Prophets when revealing the full Gospel. Even Yeshua Himself started here. For example: Luke chapter 24 tells us, "And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, [Yeshua] interpreted to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself." What will we do when we discover that much of what we've inherited is found to be lacking...
If we look back to the biblical history of righteous men, we often see them willingly confessing that the Creator has become angry with them. In this audio episode, we'll discuss the importance of admitting that sometimes we're not in right standing with Yahweh and are set to receive His righteous anger. Isaiah chapter 12 speaks of a prophesied day when He will comfort His people, that He was angry with, for a time. Are we postured to be these? Let's find out!
* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . In part 2 we'll examine the many biblical appearances of altars and the existence of clean animals. Both appear long before the giving of the Law. We see them with Cain and Abel, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and even Moses (among others), before the events of Mt. Sinai. Most of us have inherited a belief that these things were only "for the Jews" but yet we see them long before the specifics of Books like Leviticus and Numbers. So what ...
* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . The series gets underway by looking at Yahweh's reasons for choosing Abraham and his seed. Then, we'll go all the way back to Genesis chapter 4, where we see offerings being made unto the Most High. All throughout the Scriptures we hear of righteous men making sacrifices to Yahweh and bringing offerings. And the most significant part of this? These events are all found taking place long *before* Mt. Sinai. We will begin to examine two ...
Are those who believe in the Bible merely "Christians" now? Evangelicals? Protestants? "Replacement Israel?" While many people would just answer this question with a simple answer, what if we have missed the covenantal identity that Yahweh has for His Set Apart People of faith? Do you know who you are? Let's find out!
What is a man today to do, in an age of great deception? How do we avoid being led astray? Let's find out!
* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . Sometimes we just need to embrace the fact that we're just not who we should be yet. So what do we do? We press on!
* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . In this episode we'll discuss the use of the word "guide" in our primary text (Acts 8.) While many a man has been led astray by other men, that should not be an excuse to write off His using of others to speak to us. The key we'll present is this: discernment. Even here we see Philip starting to share the Gospel, beginning with the Torah and the Prophets. Time and time again the biblical pattern is clear. Make sure the Gospel agrees wi...
* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . Is the account of Philip and the Ethiopian, in Acts chapter 8, an anomaly or a repeated biblical pattern? I'm afraid that in an age where we've become so isolated and individualistic, we're missing the wonder of Father intersecting men in such a way - for His purposes. This episode will discuss the need for others to find the *fullness* of all that Yahweh wants us to learn and understand properly....
