Therefore, let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and may find grace to help in time of need. Hebrews 4:16 Therefore – Why do we need a high priest? So we can feel better? So we can be forgiven when we fall? Yes, of course, but…
For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin. Hebrews 4:15 Sympathize – You read Greek! Isn’t that great? This word is really a Greek word. We’ve just changed a bit of the phonetics, but…
Dear Friends, I thought I might add just a comment or two about what I have been doing and what has been happening with At God’s Table. As we start into the holiday season, you might like to know something more about what you ALL have done this year. First, At God’s Table has been…
And Solomon sought to put Jeroboam to death. I Kings 11:40 Sought – What a sad and tragic end of the man who had everything! Too often we think of Solomon’s wisdom, wonders and wealth. We forget how far he fell. The last recorded event of his life stands in utter opposition to the humble…

Pero no es así con vosotros; antes, el mayor entre vosotros hágase como el menor, y el que dirige como el que sirve. Lucas 22:26 No Así Con Vosotros – La moda del liderazgo correrá su curso. Eventualmente aprenderemos que el liderazgo no es un verbo, no un sustantivo. Entonces comprenderemos que el entrenamiento de…
Some photos from Jerusalem. Children often shows us what we can’t articulate. I love the Superman with a kippah (yamaka). The perfect combination of our split cultural reality. Enjoy the others, including the reality of 18 year-old girls with machine guns.
“Let Your kingdom come, let Your will be done, as it is in heaven, also on earth.” Matthew 6:10 Earth – When we follow the pattern of prayer taught by our Lord, we endorse the Hebrew view of deliverance. Praying “Your kingdom come on earth” focuses our attention of the Hebrew verb yasa’. Of course,…
“How shall I give you up, Ephraim? Shall I deliver you, Israel? How shall I make you like Admah? Hosea 11:8 How – In systematic theology, we often speak of God’s omnipotence. It is simply the doctrine that God can do anything that can be done. But did you know there are some things even…
