Fear is a powerful motivator. But when it comes to fear of God, there are many different perspectives. We all have our ideas of what the fear of God is and isn’t. But what do the Scriptures, themselves, have to say about it and is there a fear to conquer fear? Let’s take a look at this concept in this week’s 5 Minute Torah.

You've been given all you need to maintain your freedom: A small booklet, a jar of something that smells like it could take paint off a car, and a cracker? Really? This is freedom? Let’s figure out what all of this means in this week’s 5 Minute Torah.

Have you ever gone to an appointment only to be disappointed because the other person didn’t show up? Somehow they got their wires crossed and thought it was at a different time or maybe on a different day. But what if you said, “Let’s meet on Tuesday” but when Tuesday arrived, they never showed up for the appointment? And when you called to check on them, they said they were ...

There are a lot of names for God used in the Bible. But one name stands out above them all? What is it? Well, it’s been hotly debated over the years, especially with those who have only a remedial knowledge of Hebrew and an axe to grind. However, there is an important reason we should know it. And it’s probably not why you think. What is God’s personal name and why is it important t...

Let’s be brutally honest. Sometimes life can be unbearable. Sometimes we find ourselves in a situation beyond our control and we can’t see any way of digging ourselves out. How are we supposed to deal with suffering in this life? Why do we have to suffer anyway? Is there a purpose? And if so, what is it? Well, I believe the Torah has a lesson for how to handle every aspect of life, and this week’s Torah portion is...

Have you ever been misunderstood? Or had your words completely turned around on you? Maybe you know what you need to say, but for some reason the words just don’t come out the way you intended. If that’s you, I’ve got a secret that will help. Even if you aren’t the most eloquent communicator, there’s a guaranteed method that will ensure others will hear you and take to h...

Are you under attack? Spiritual attack? Maybe you feel like the Devil is attacking you right now. But what if it’s not the Devil that you’re fighting against? What if it’s actually a power MUCH greater than the Devil? If you want to know how to win the spiritual battle you’re in and how to have victory in circumstances that are beyond your control, please join me for this week...

If you’re familiar with this show then you already know that I’m Messianic. I’m not a Messianic Jew, but a Messianic Gentile. What does that mean? It means that I believe in the ongoing validity of the Torah and that Yeshua (Jesus) is the long-awaited Messiah of Israel. Messianic Jews are simply Jews who believe these same things. But the vast majority of Jews today and throughout h...

Let’s face it. Life can be brutal. It can be extremely harsh & unrelenting. It seems that at every turn we face heartache, loss, & brokenness in some form or fashion. From broken relationships to health concerns and even, God-forbid, the loss of a loved one. Sometimes life seems to beat us down until we don’t have the strength to fight back. If this is you—if you’re fa...

Is there anything in your life worth fighting for? I mean… REALLY fighting for. Most people don’t have a whole lot to fight for—nothing that really has any meaning. Sure, many people will go to extreme lengths for money because they are driven by greed. But there are very few people who would be willing to fight for much of anything else… fighting hard enough to suffer pain for an extended period of time t...

Dust. It’s everywhere. No matter where you go or where you turn, you’ll find dust. It’s frustrating. But it’s just the way of life and no matter how hard you clean, dust will eventually find its way back into every nook & cranny, every crack & crevice. It’s a never-ending battle that we can all relate to, especially if you have allergies as bad as I do. But yet t...

Why? Sometimes you just have to ask that question. Why? Why did this have to happen? Why can’t things work out the way we need them to? Why do we have so much pain and suffering? But maybe the bigger question is “How do we respond in those times?” Do we run away from God, or hold on tighter? Because how we respond can determine what happens next. Sure, it can be difficult to hold on...

In Acts 11, we read that the disciples of Yeshua were first called Christians in Antioch. Was this because they wanted to distinguish themselves from the Jews? Was it because they were starting a new religion and needed a new name for themselves? Neither of these reasons is accurate. It doesn’t say that they called THEMSELVES Christians. It says that others called them Christians. Why? Because ...

For those of you who have been around a while, you may have heard of Dolly the Sheep—the first mammal to be successfully cloned from an adult somatic cell. After Dolly, other animals were successfully cloned: cats, deer, dogs, horses, mules, oxen, rabbits, and rats. Although the ethical debate over these creations was heated, the most troubling moral dilemma wasn’t over cloning animals, b...

Who doesn’t love the beauty of a giant rainbow hanging in the sky, especially after a week of nothing but rain? The rain has stopped. The sun is out. The birds are singing once again. And a beautiful rainbow fills the sky to remind us how God is smiling down on us … But is that really what’s going on? Or is there something far more dangerous associated with that beautiful bowtie in...

Eve was the beloved helpmate whom God gave to Adam. But she listened to the voice of the serpent and fell under his spell, eating from the forbidden fruit. Cain was Adam & Eve’s firstborn son. And he listened to the Enemy’s temptation and murdered his brother, Abel. There is a voice inside all of us that we hear from time to time, luring us into making destructive choices. Is the Devil able to force us into making t...

Have you ever wanted to be just like someone else? And because you want that so badly, you started acting like them—dressing like them, doing your hair like them, talking like them, etc. While that may not be the most healthy thing you can do, there is a form of imitation that is extremely healthy and will enrich your life. Want to know more? Then stick around for this week’s 5 Minute Tor...

Heaven… Glory Land. The Celestial City. The Land Beyond… Where there will be no more tears, no more sorrow, no more pain… The eternal reward of those in Christ and the resting place of the saints… Or is it??? Is Heaven our eternal destination? Is our hope to one day walk the streets of gold in this place called Heaven? Or have we misunderstood what the Scriptures teach us ...
