Mending Fences

Teach me Your way, O YHWH, and lead me in a smooth path, because of my enemies. Psalm 27:11 Lead – When God leads, it’s all about fences. That doesn’t sound much like leading, does it? We think of leading as moving away from fences. “Don’t fence me in” and “Think outside the box” are…

Archery

Teach me Your way, O YHWH, and lead me in a smooth path, because of my enemies. Psalm 27:11 Teach – Did you ever take a class in archery at summer camp? It isn’t as easy as it looks, is it? You have to learn about holding the bow and the arrow correctly. If you…

Prophetic Reverse

In the day of my distress I sought YHWH; my hand was stretched out in the night and it did not cease, my being refused to be comforted. Psalm 77:2 (ISR) Refused To Be Comforted – It’s all connected. Of course, it’s not so easy to see the connections in translation, so let’s look for…

No aparece en las portadas de las revistas ni en las publicaciones religiosas. Pero parece un movimiento a nivel de “las…

Paradigm Logic

But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, by as much as He is also the mediator of a better covenant, which has been enacted on better promises. Hebrews 8:6 Better – Good, better, best.  That’s the kind of thinking we entertain when we come across a word like this.  In our system of…

The Big Picture

“and you shall be unto me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation” Exodus 19:6 Kingdom – A very curious thing has happened to Christianity in the last 2000 years; something that may now be finally coming to an end.  I don’t mean the return of Yeshua.  In spite of the current crop of…

Prayer Request

Well, someone must want me to stay home.  Monday morning I started to feel bad and I have been in bed all day (or in the bathroom – take your pick).  So, I am asking for prayer from the community – right now.  I want to be on the plane to Israel on Wednesday.  Please…
