ACCOUNT- ABLE

Mike, a faithful Today’s Word reader, reminded me that I have not sent the usual end-of-year reminder (appeal) for support.  I kind of thought I mentioned it, and I don’t like asking, but maybe he’s right and you didn’t see it. Well, before you give, let’s review how donations made to At God’s Table were…

A New Year’s Resolution

Let your way of life be free from the love of money, being content with what you have; for He Himself has said, “I will never desert you, nor will I ever forsake you,” Hebrews 13:5 Content – How’s it working out for you?  Has it been a tough year?  Have you struggled?  I have. …

A High Priest

Now when Moses saw that the people were out of control – for Aaron had let them get out of control . . .   Exodus 32:25 Out Of Control – It was a sad day for Israel.  Moses was up on the mountain with God, receiving the summary of God’s constitution for the governance of…

Saying Goodbye

“and you shall not glean your vineyard and you shall not gather what has been left of your vineyard: you shall leave them to the poor and the alien; I am YHWH your Elohim.” Leviticus 19:10 Poor – We glean.  We reap.  We take everything we can get.  Capitalism without holiness results in wrath.  It…

2010: Year of the Blog

Just a brief comment on comments.  I was glad to see so many people provide blogs in the last few days.  My hope is that a lot more readers will chose to make comments in 2010.  Please don’t think that just because you don’t want to enter into a scholarly conversation you don’t have anything…

Straight-line Depreciation

For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks; but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Romans 1:21 Foolish Heart – Are you sitting down?  You might want to.  As we approach the end of this year (according to the pagan calendar),…

Loose Torah

Loose Torah Some time ago I posed a question to Rabbi Bob Gorelik about keeping Sabbath.  The question was:  “I often have to travel to teach, and many times I end up with schedules that require me to fly on Sabbath.  How can I resolve this with the instructions about the Sabbath?” I think Bob’s…

Intentional Righteousness

But we should not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we shall reap, if we do not faint. Galatians 6:9 In Due Time – We want to do good.  It’s part of the natural expression of Christ within.  Goodness is an essential attribute of the character of God, so those who have…
