Do we comply with the commandments? Do we connect intimacy with the Creator with walking in His commandments? Are we grieved when we see other forsake and abandon Father's commandments? Do you find comfort in the commandments?

If you said "YES" to any of these questions, you would be in agreement with David, in Psalm chapter 119. Should we too be able to declare the statem...

In this installment we'll read verses 57-80 of Psalm chapter 119. We will continue to ask practical questions and allow the Scriptures to offer us wise counsel.

We continue to ask, will we agree with the endless declarations of Psalm 119? Can we join in with the righteous men that went before us and declare that the Torah of the Most High is the foundational counsel for th...

The series continues as we simply ask, are the words within Psalm chapter 119 true for the covenant Believer today, post-Messiah? Many lines declare David's love for YHWH's Torah. He finds delight in It. He cries out for Its counsel. It protects, corrects and gives him hope and comfort. He despises those who forsake and discard It.

Can you read these verses and say that th...

Despite majority Christianity's stance that says "the Law was a burdensome and heavy yoke around the neck," is that what the Word says? In this series we'll simply ask a list questions that speak to everyday circumstances for every man. Then, we'll simply read every single verse in Psalm chapter 119.

Answers to life are found within the ancient Scriptures, friend. Are the ...

In my world, people are becoming more and more volatile. Christianity, in my opinion, is not exempt. Personally, I regularly receive mockery, ridicule and often aggressive behavior from those who become greatly offended when speaking about how YHWH's Torah Instructions are a blessing and for the Believer today.

Why is this? In this episode I will propose that a biblical pa...

On the heels of our "Judging" series, we will play and then examine several video clips of popular celebrities speaking about their "faith, and belief," "Jesus" and "higher powers." Should the Christian simply hear the words of these "influencers" and rejoice or should we show large amounts of caution?

We will read many biblical texts that give us counsel and, hopefully, t...

In part 2 we go over many biblical mentions of Father's "righteous judgments" that Messiah spoke of in John chapter 7. We will ask, what if the Word has told us how to rightly discern and judge the Body, with biblically-defined "righteous judgments? What if we can implement a "standard of measure" that is not merely our own personal opinion of any matter?

I believe that it...

When presenting any kind of biblical counsel or correction, many of us have been immediately told, "you can't judge me!" But have we overlooked something? Messiah said to "first" and "then" in regards to the beam/plank and speck verse. It would seem that there is a proper, biblical process for us to enter into.

In Part 1 we'll begin to lay the groundwork for two primary ke...

Did you know that, biblically, there are two types of wisdom? One "comes down from above" and the other is "earthly, natural, demonic." We must slow down and filter all matters of life through the wisdom criteria of the Word.

How do we govern our lives according to the overreaching counsel of heavenly wisdom and avoid what is earthly and natural? Let us not think too highl...

In Psalm 106 we read of David recounting the events of Numbers chapter 11. The children of Israel have been delivered and set free from Egyptian slavery, but quickly forget the works of the Most High. The grumbled and put YHWH to the test in the wilderness. He gives the people their request, but also "sends leanness into their soul."

This series will help us consider how w...

The series concludes here as we fully establish the principle that parallels the events of Numbers and 1 Kings with the works and words of the Messiah Himself, as in John chapter 3. Using only biblical criteria and the patterns that we see, is the modern day "jesus," that promotes the abandoning of His Father's Instructions in any way deemed to be a false prophet/false mes...

When Messiah was telling us that He "did not come to abolish the Torah or the Prophets" was He declaring that He met the Deuteronomy criteria to be the true Prophet & Messiah of Yahweh? If so, what do we do with "mainstream Jesus" that purportedly "did away with the 'old' Law?"

In the Book of Numbers we read of the Hebrew word "nase" or pole; banner; lifted ensign for ...

Can the Jesus that most of us have inherited stand up against biblical testing and survive into the other side as authentic? Does the modern-day Messiah fulfil and adhere to the biblical criteria of a true prophet of the Most High or does he enact a new way to live? Is it one that leads people away from the same commandments that He perfectly obeyed?

In this opening episod...

Can we ask some hard questions?

Commonplace, dispensational Christianity hits some major hurdles when one slowly and contextually reads the accounts of the post-resurrection Assembly. Here we see Paul instructed by the elders of the Assembly to join alongside others in a Nazarite vow, which the Book of Numbers tells us included purification rituals and... animal sacrifices...

Many people of faith rightly understand and teach that Yeshua (Jesus) was Savior. While entirely true, I believe that it needs highlighted that His Father was (and is today) frequently referenced as Savior, all throughout the entire Bible.

Our primary text will be the account of Mary meeting Elizabeth in Luke chapter 1, where we see Mary declaring that Yahweh was her Savio...

A consistent biblical theme that we see is the danger of fearing men over the Most High. As we read of in John chapter 12, this kept many Pharisees - that put their trust in Messiah - from openly confessing their faith in order to keep from being thrown out of the assembly.

As we read accounts such as these, we have the opportunity to look at ourselves. Are we truly willing to count the cost that is required to truly confess and th...
