El Salvador Conference in November
Thank you! With the financial assistance of some readers, and with the reviews of others, I have been able to schedule a conference in El Salvador teaching up to 200 pastors about ezer kenegdo. Imagine the impact that will have on Latin churches and communities. This is just one way God will remove the great…
Reading Again
There is a time to act for God; set aside the Torah Psalm 119:126 (Heschel) To act for God – You won’t get this translation in the English Bibles. Most English Bibles, and a lot of translations of the Jewish Tanakh, read something like, “It is time for the Lord to act, for they have…

One of our faithful readers is Amy Gomes. You will remember her as the woman who, through her own assets and resources, built the first-ever school for disabled children in Ukraine.

Identity Theft (2)
And He said, “Who told you that you were naked?” Genesis 3:11 NASB Told – Who told you? Who told you that there was something flawed in your world? Who told you that something is interfering with your enjoyment of just being alive? Who told you that you had a problem with God? Adam’s unspoken…
