Choose! You can’t have both. There are many in mainstream religion that believe in the doctrine of “Once Saved, Always Saved” (OSAS). It sounds like a great idea. Who wouldn’t want to have the opportunity to make a one-time conversion and then call it good? Religious tenure is what I call it. And I used … Continue reading Once Saved, Always Saved? Or Hold Fast?

Why All Believers Should Keep the Feasts!
I’ve talked often about the world’s feasts…Christmas, Easter, Halloween, etc. There are plenty of sources out there to help understand their background and origins. And many believers celebrate them because of tradition passed down from previous generations. But what about Yahuah’s feasts? What are they? Are they for us today? And why would we want … Continue reading Why All Believers Should Keep the Feasts!
A Crumbling House
Have you ever witnessed a building slowly crumble to the ground? Not a demolition, but a slow decay over time? There is an old limestone house out in the Open Range that has been deteriorating over the past few decades. When I first saw the house, I thought someone might still be living in it. … Continue reading A Crumbling House
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?
Christmas… A Celebration of Tradition over Truth
Traditions can be hard to break. As a coach, I’ve seen this a lot. We get used to a set of training practices and follow them blindly without knowing they are detrimental to our development and success as athletes. When I ran in college, we trained with a “go hard or go home” mindset. Fast … Continue reading Christmas… A Celebration of Tradition over Truth
What is the New Covenant?
Let’s get straight to the point. What is the new covenant? It seems this is a topic that has confused people for quite some time. And I believe it is one that unfortunately sends people down the path of sin. Growing up in the institutional church, I had been told that the new covenant was … Continue reading What is the New Covenant?
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
