Let me start off by saying that when Gentiles who have been raised with traditional Christian teachings which turned them away from the Torah, later in life come to realize the truth of what Yeshua taught and turn their hearts to God’s commandments, there is nothing that can be wrong

Right off the bat, let me wish everyone living in the United States a Happy Thanksgiving Day. Of course, given today is a national holiday to give thanks, you might expect a message about that. Well, it ain’t gonna happen because everyone is already giving thanks, and I would be

How many times have you heard people ask why, if God is forgiving, loving, and compassionate, does he punish us? If you prefer to watch a video, click on this link: Watch the video. How many times have you heard people say that the God of the Old Covenant is

We all have been taught that we are saved by faith, not works, but that isn’t the whole story. If you prefer to watch a video, click on this link: Watch the video. Faith is not something that we are born with, and it is not something we can earn

You may be thinking that salvation is a gift from God that no one can have taken from them. And you are right- no one can take our God-given salvation from us, but we can certainly throw it away. If you prefer to watch a video, click on this link:

When we read the Bible, we know that God is a loving, compassionate, and forgiving God. We also know that he promises to punish the guilty, guilty being anyone who purposefully rejects and ignores God’s instructions. If you prefer to watch a video, click on this link: Watch the video.

I hope you don’t mind, but today I am going to take a total break from spiritual messages, even from a socially relevant message, and instead talk about something that is no more than pure, unadulterated self-interest. If you prefer to watch me pitch my books in a video, click

Lately, I have had a few Christian Facebook friends chide me, so to speak (and nicely, too, which I appreciate) about my somewhat bigoted attitude towards Christianity and Christians. Let me set the record straight- I am not against Christians, I am against Christianity. It is sort of like the

Here we are, again, at the end of a Torah cycle. Time to march the Torah around the neighborhood, with singing and shofar blowing. Then, after returning to the synagogue, we read the last lines of Deuteronomy and while the congregation sings and dances we roll back the Torah to

Here we are at Sukkot, again, which this year happens exactly on the first day of Fall. If you prefer to watch a video, click on this link: Watch the video. Sukkot is, traditionally, believed to be the time when Messiah Yeshua was born, and this is verified by the

First off, I want to say to everyone the traditional Jewish greeting we pass to each other on Yom Kippur, which is: May you have an easy fast. If you prefer to watch a video, click on this link: Watch the video. So often over the years, I have heard

How many times do we read in the Bible that God says we are to be holy, as he is holy? Too many times to count, right? If you prefer to watch a video, click on this link: Watch the video. But we are human beings; mortal, finite, and born

This is going to be a deceptively short and simple message today and is pretty much the definitive difference between Legalism and Faith. It is such a simple concept that I am not even going to do a video. Legalism is the belief in performance-based salvation, meaning that what we

We all know (at least, I hope we all know) that unconditional means without any requirements or minimums. And we all know (at least, I hope we all know) that when we pray we are to pray to God and not to anyone else. We do NOT pray to a

The answer to the question, “Are cheeseburgers kosher?” is a resounding NO!…and a resounding YES! If you prefer to watch a video, click on this link: Watch the video. If you ask any “mainstream” Jewish person, their answer will be “No” because their rabbi has taught them that any mixture

Today we will go over how it all fits together. And if you are wondering just what it is that fits together, I will start by explaining what I mean. And we will start out with God, which I think is a pretty good starting place. If you prefer to

Most of the people I have met over the years, both Jewish and Christian, know of the Torah. They know it is in the Bible (although it is a shame so many don’t know which books), they know it is full of laws and commandments, and most Christians have been

I haven’t been posting for almost an entire week, and later I will tell you why. When Shaul, that nice Jewish tentmaker from Tarsus, wrote to the Believers in Rome, he talked about Grace and obedience. If you prefer to watch a video, click on this link: Watch the video.

One of the issues Yeshua had with the Pharisees and their teachings was that some of their man-made traditions were given precedence over what God said. These traditions have become part of Halacha, the Way to Walk, which is defined in the Talmud. If you prefer to watch a video,

When Yeshua was preaching in Jerusalem, thousands of people came to hear him, as did thousands when he was wandering from one Judean town to another. If you prefer to watch a video, click on this link: Watch the video. Yet, despite there being thousands who accepted Yeshua as the
