King, Priest and Sacrifice pt1
I got to thinking about Yeshua and his entrance into Jerusalem. How exactly is this a triumphant entry, what things are exampled for us? Zechariah 9:9 "Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem, behold thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having Salvation; lowly and riding upon an ass,...

Oooops, I did it again ….
Sorry Brittany fans, its just me...... I was invited to a "gospel revival" at a Church of Christ and actually went today. The topic was 'The Music of Revelation' which found to be very odd for a group of people that do not allow instruments in their sanctuary. Couldn't resist the option to go. ... Continue Reading →
Repentance
Think about it.... Repentance. From what are we to repent? Breaking God's law? The word repentance in Hebrew is 'teshuva', and it means 'to return'. So if we are to return from breaking the law, to what are we returning? May I suggest that it's to keeping the law? Everyone who makes a practice of... Continue Reading →

Respect, Honor and Leadership Just because you “think” you know the definition of certain words, does not guarantee you know them. Having been told I should show this person or that one respect I must weigh that upon the actual definition of the word. Respect as a Noun; is a feeling of deep admiration for... Continue Reading →
Tying the Testaments together
Acts 3:17-23 “And now, brethren, I wot that through ignorance ye did it, as did also your rulers. But those things, which God before had shewed by the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ should suffer, he hath so fulfilled. Repent ye therefore, and be converted*, that your sins may be blotted out, when... Continue Reading →
Human Ages and Earth Ages
When we look at the creation story we can see that Adam and Eve were capable of producing offspring from the very beginning. This means that they would have been created with some sort of age assigned to them. We can give that age a number, it may have been 13 or 14, just old... Continue Reading →
