Last week someone asked me about my faith. “What’s the difference between the institutional church, and what you call, The Way?” There are differences that I believe are important to talk about. But we do have one similarity. And it’s a big one! Salvation through Messiah Here is an important truth we can all agree … Continue reading What’s the Difference?

The Big Lie
Do you remember the game, “Whisper down the Lane?” Some of you may have called it “Telephone.” You whisper a message to someone, they whisper to someone else, and so forth. By the end of the line, the message is often quite different than the original. I remember playing it once and not hearing what … Continue reading The Big Lie
“But Paul Said…”
This is the most common response I get when bringing up our responsibility to keep the commandments. Many Christians are familiar with Paul and his writings. They believe that Paul did away with the law. They claim that Paul was against the Torah. But is this true? “So that the Torah truly is set-apart, and … Continue reading “But Paul Said…”
Do We Teach the Opposite of what Jesus Taught..?
Does the modern church teach, practice and copy the behavior of our Messiah, Yahusha (Jesus). When one looks at the appearance and customs of the church today, it can look a little off. I think back to those WWJD bracelets that were popular in the 1990’s, “What Would Jesus Do?” I think I had one. … Continue reading Do We Teach the Opposite of what Jesus Taught..?
What Changed with the New Covenant?
The New Covenant. What do you know about it and how does it differ from the Old Covenant? It is not "grace" versus "law" as I heard over and over in the institutional church. Only a few things actually changed. First of all, the law (which had been written on tablets of stone) was now … Continue reading What Changed with the New Covenant?
The Way?
“What are you?” That is a question I get asked often. People like to label and put you in a box. It is difficult for some to grasp if you don’t fall into a certain category. I used to just say “Christian” or “Believer.” But I don’t think those terms accurately describe the true path. … Continue reading The Way?
Should Believers Celebrate Christmas?
There are quite a few opinions about the origin and practice of Christmas among believers. Most believe it is ok to celebrate Christmas. Others, not so much. The prophet Jeremiah had this to say about false worship: “Thus said Yahuah, ‘Do not learn the way of the nations, and do not be awed by the signs … Continue reading Should Believers Celebrate Christmas?
Is Your Messiah a False Prophet?
For much of my faith walk, I followed a false prophet. I believe that most who call themselves a Christian do the same. If you are diligent in reading Scripture, you will find what is often referred to as the “Deuteronomy 13 Test.” In Deuteronomy 13, we get instruction on how to spot a false … Continue reading Is Your Messiah a False Prophet?
Keep the Commandments?
“If you love Me, you shall guard My commands.” – John 14:15 This seems like plain and simple instruction. Keep the commandments. Yahusha (Jesus) mentions this many times. John, James, Peter, and even Paul echo this in their writings. The Hebrew writings that we call the Old Testament certainly speak of this. Yet, the modern … Continue reading Keep the Commandments?
Deuteronomy 18 – The Messiah?
“Yahuah your Elohim shall raise up for you a Prophet like me from your midst, from your brothers. Listen to Him.” – Deuteronomy 18:15 Deuteronomy is one of my favorite books of the Bible. In fact, if I am allowed to say it, Deuteronomy is my favorite Old Testament book. We find loads of instruction and … Continue reading Deuteronomy 18 – The Messiah?
