Living Torah

News and events from The Land. The world is trying to cover the face of HaShem. Not working!

“What Is Truth?” Why would anyone believe an ancient book written by some 35 authors over a 1500 plus year period would be relevant today? Why would that book be called truth to live your life by? Do you read that book or does that book read you?

Jacob is lead out of his father’s house and to a “certain place.” That place would propel him into a personal crisis of faith. In the end his journey could be summed up in the question; Which dust do you choose? Same question is being asked of us today.

Hanoch takes time out of a busy tour to give an update of events from Israel.

“But, What If?” We have looked at the 5 questions of life from a Biblical standpoint, but what if? What if we look at the same questions from a secular standpoint? Just how much of a chasm would be found because of the two differing opinions?

The history of life is one of travail. Travail over problems and trials or something much with much more depth? Why not dig our own wells of life? Why go back to Abraham’s wells? Does the water we drink have the same flavor and qualities of Abraham’ water? We must learn to stand in conviction even when it brings conflict.

“As in the days of Noah.” Terrorism, violence, murder are the themes of our day. Just how long will it continue? connecttoisrael.org

Results???!!!! We come to the end of our five questions of life. One day we will all be faced with this final question. Are you seeking to leave be a legend or leave a legacy for others to walk in?

We start with an update from our recent Israel tour. Sarah comes to the end of her life, but what a life it was. She is only mentioned one other time in the Hebrew Scriptures, but her legacy is on most every page. The seeking of a bride for Isaac contains a lesson we must live out if we are to live on.

What Or Who Is Holding Your Gift Back? Are you wanting God to “use” you? How do you feel when people “use” you? Your Creator does not desire to use you, but rather flow through you with the gift He has given you. The Hebrew word for gift paints us an amazing picture of this.

Recap of the 2022 Connect To Israel tour, then on to news and events from The Land. connecttoisrael.org

Success, failure, good days and bad, Abraham models a life of being whole hearted but not perfect. Contrasting Abraham’s life with Lot’s gives us a clear choice for life in our day. What direction we pitch our tent really does matter.

Life On Purpose You Got It! Now Use It! There is a gift inside each of us. Once that gift is found we have a chose. Will we give of our gift or hide our gift and be buried with it still in us? Mike is in Israel, so we tie our gift to the place our gift began.

Abram is next in line for the covenant to arise in his life. There are numerous things that must happen in his life first though. He must walk out of his past, go through trials and separations. He will not walk perfect, but will walk whole hearted. In the end, who gets the last laugh?

Noah lives up to his name as he seeks the eyes of Yah while putting giants in his peripheral vision. Great message for us to live in our generation. None of us can imagine the world Noah stepped out of the ark into. It got the best of him and he failed. I for one am not standing in the “Judge Noah” line.

News, updates and a whole lot of fun! connecttoisrael.org

Feast Of Tabernacles Report It is more than an 8 day camping trip. The celebration of the Feast Of Tabernacles is an amazing experience. There are times life sends challenges, but in the end, God always meets with yearning people.

“OWN IT!” When you “Own It” passion will come forth naturally. Scripture teaches us to do and through our doing will come our understanding. Passion will be the fruit.

If you can’t trust the first words, you will never trust the last words. “Did God really say?” is a question we must deal with once and for all. Was there death prior to Adam? Was the garden a garden? Were the trees really trees? Did God really say what He meant or was he just trying to confuse us?

Another Israel tour is foremost on our minds, but other news makes it’s way onto our program.

Moshe speaks his last words over the multitudes of Jacob’s offspring. In the blessings are wonderful truths concerning them. Each tribe would be different in personality and calling. That same message hold true today. Yah does not call us to be the same, but rather to celebrate our differences in Him.

“Crisis Of Faith?” We normally do not look at the crises of life as positive things. Many will run from them or pray against them. What is the crisis is from God though? Maybe it is an opportunity for relationship and growth.

Understanding our destiny determines our identity which directs us to our destiny. The defect is not Him, but us. He has given mankind a recall notice. The repair is at no charge to us, but you do have to show up at the shop.

So much is happening in this Feast season regarding Israel, the land and Israel, the people. Time to examine where we are and where we are going.

“Where are you from?” Knowing who you are can lead to an understanding of where you came from. When you know where you came from you can then prepare for where you are going.
