I came across an article today and as I read it I was grieved in my soul.
The article, entitled “Go Ahead and Follow Your Heart. God Wants You To“, was on the blog site named PersonalFinanceByTheBook.com.
Upon reading the title a handful of verses immediately came to mind. Chief among them was this:
“The heart is more [...]

A recent turn of events lead to a bit of “online archaeology” of sorts:
I was reading a recent CNN article online entitled
“In Sudan, a war is waged to eradicate the ‘fiery serpent’” and came across this:
Believed to be “the fiery serpent” described in the Bible, the Guinea worm has plagued mankind since ancient Egyptian times. [...]

The Merriam-Webster Word of the Day for April 1st was puerile (no foolin’!)
Their definition:
1 : juvenile
2 : childish, silly
(I wonder if their choice for April 1st, April Fools Day, was coincidental? Hmmm…)

Wow. I had not ever seen this before and was utterly flabbergasted by this quote from Rabbi Batzri, head of the Shalom Yeshiva in Jerusalem:
“No one can study Torah unless he or she is converting to Judaism.”

During a recent study a question came up around the Hebrew word et.
In Hebrew, et can serve as what is called an “object marker” (OM). It appears before an object that receives an action in a sentence (what we might call the direct object in English). Et points to the direct object.
Here is an example [...]

The first article of this series provided some reasons for observing Torah. First and foremost among them was the reason that Messiah Yeshua was Torah-observant and as his disciples we, too, should follow Torah.
This second article (and subsequent articles) in the series intends to address the myths and misinterpretations of Scripture that might confuse believers [...]

This post begins a short series of articles entitled “In Support of Torah Observance”.
In these articles I would like to address reasons why believers in Yeshua [Jesus] should be obedient to Torah and refute a number of misinterpretations of Scripture used against those who seek to obey Torah.
