Someone recently intimated that I should leave behind all I have learned the last five years and return to the church…. I was speechless! It would be like quitting high def color TV and returning to the monstrous black and white sets of two generations ago!
Only when I began actually doing what the Torah says, i.e., keeping Shabbat and the feasts, eating clean, etc, did the Bible really come alive. Then, like living color, I began to see and understand parts that I only thought I understood before.
Do you want blessings, wisdom and understanding? Begin to walk Torah. Anything else is just grainy black and white.
But his delight is in the Torah of Adonai, and on His Torah he meditates day and night. He will be like a planted tree over streams of water, producing its fruit during its season. Its leaf never droops— but in all he does, he succeeds.

to blogging. Right now I am just trying to rest up from the last few hectic months. It is winter break at school and I am catching up on things at the home front and helping a couple friends, but sleep is much on the menu as well.
Proof copies are here and I’m thumbing through them with a bit of awe. The process has been fun and a bit of work, though the result is very satisfying.
But what happens when these disciples of Jesus Christ discover that what the Bible says is not exactly what they thought was right? They experience a crisis of faith. Surprisingly this crisis is not driving Christians away from their Savior, but it is dramatically reorienting their faith walk. They still embrace Jesus as their Savior, but call Him by His Hebrew name and title: Yeshua the Messiah. Moreover, they begin to honor and follow the Torah (Law) of Moses, the same godly standard of conduct which Jesus/Yeshua taught and modeled in His life.
