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…”

Did Jesus Die for a Hot Dog?
“Jesus died for my sins. Let’s go eat some hot dogs.” Sounds kinda silly right? But I think it gets straight to the point. That is the gospel message to many. Jesus died for my sins, so now I’m good to go. Let’s not worry about sin anymore. Yahusha (Jesus) the Messiah did suffer, die … Continue reading Did Jesus Die for a Hot Dog?
Who is Israel? Are You Grafted In?
I talk a lot about the Hebrew faith. And people have often asked if I am Jewish. I probably would’ve asked that question years ago as well. But there is a concept in the Scriptures that speak of believers as being grafted in. And it is one that many people haven’t taken the time to … Continue reading Who is Israel? Are You Grafted In?
Love is My Religion
Several years ago, Ziggy Marley produced a song titled "Love is My Religion.” I've often thought about that song and how it demonstrates the ideal nature of life. To me, nothing comes closer to the true purpose of us as believers in our fulfillment of the Torah (law). If you haven’t heard the song, here … Continue reading Love is My Religion
Acts 15… A ‘100-Mile Faith’ Journey
I have run over 100 miles a week on 138 occasions. In 2011, I ran over 100 miles a week 29 times while averaging 100.2 miles over the course of the year. I had a high-mileage mark of 141 miles that year, which was followed by two 137-mile weeks, and then 107 miles for a … Continue reading Acts 15… A ‘100-Mile Faith’ Journey
Off With His Head…
Are you preparing for battle? I have been a runner for close to 35 years now. At one point, I was a competitive runner who trained for races. But back in high school, I just ran when Coach told me to run. And that was it. No other preparation. I didn't even set out my … Continue reading Off With His Head…
Misconceptions that keep us from Understanding Scripture
Why Did Messiah Rebuke the Pharisees? The Scriptures can often be confusing and misapplied. They can be especially hard to understand when we skip to the New Testament and start reading three-fourths of the way in. It’s difficult to understand the gospels and the writings of Paul if we don’t understand what the gospel writers … Continue reading Misconceptions that keep us from Understanding Scripture
What is Your Goal?
A few years ago I recognized that Natalie, my special-needs daughter, was growing in stature. It was getting more difficult to lift her up and care for her. She is 15 years old now, and still only 75 pounds, but each day requires a lot of lifting, moving, positioning, and holding her. When she doesn’t … Continue reading What is Your Goal?
Trial of Miles, Miles of Trials
As of today, I have totaled 106,371 miles and worn the rubber off the soles of at least 250 pairs of shoes. Sometimes I am still unable to fathom the enormity of those numbers. But there they are. “The Trial of Miles; Miles of Trials.” – John L. Parker, Jr., (Once a Runner) Outside of … Continue reading Trial of Miles, Miles of Trials
Biblical Nutrition – part 2 (my story)
It is not uncommon for modern believers to reject the food instructions of Yahuah. We’ve been told for so long that we can eat whatever we want. I get it. Acts 10, Mark 7, Romans 14, etc. I used to quote these passages all the time when confronted about the “food laws.” This was a … Continue reading Biblical Nutrition – part 2 (my story)
