Living Torah

“Right Focus! Right Results” The messages brought forth through the Biblical Festivals are very clear. Is it possible to muddy those clear waters though? We need to learn to stay out of the way of His message so we can encounter that message! Once again, the guys hold nothing back, our victories, disappointments and tenacity to see His message through.

Yom Kippur approaches. How does the Song of Moses relate to this special day? A people who were not a people are called to be a testimony to a people who were a people. If the people Moses is speaking of is us shouldn’t we ask ourselves how we are doing at the job we are being called to?

We come to the last Torah portion. Most years I will overlay the blessings with the words of Jacob. Bit of a new take this year. What if these words are for a different time of preparation, entrance and establishment?

“War In Israel! SO???” Last Saturday war began in Israel. Why should we care? After all, Israel is 7000 miles away! Can’t we just sit back and watch without getting involved? This is a very somber but important program for all of us to take to heart.

“Life Is Bigger Than You!” How can each of us make a difference in this world, in the current Israel war and even in the people we meet on a daily basis? This week we explore “Warrior Worship” and “Warrior Obedience”.

One may look good on the outside, but not be prepared on the inside. Yah knew this regarding the Hebrews and led them in the way that could bring a maturing. Is He doing the same for us today? Learning to celebrate victories is a key to overcoming trials.

The ten words have been misunderstood and therefore misapplied. This week we look at these words from a different angle, instruction and standards to those who have entered The Father’s house.

In the midst of confusion and chaos is the answer to our involvement just so simple that many miss it?

Buying a Hebrew slave may be pretty far from our life in 2022. We have a choice of just passing over these verses or seeing the richness which comes from a change of attitude toward the owner of the house. Are we living out of have to or want to? Joinedtohashem.org

Seems the UAE is wanting to play nice with Israel. Should this move be trusted? Has the PA finally become not just irrelevant, but a bother to other Arab nations?

Yah asks for a contribution from those who wholeheartedly want to give and now He makes an order. Orders! That just does not set well with our modern day free will opinion oriented society. Like it or not, He has the right!

Seems that Israel may be opening soon! Time to prepare! What is the connection between Israel and Ukraine?

Why was Moshe not given dimensions regarding the laver ad what is the significance of its placement? The account of the Golden Calf tells of a tragic day in the life of the Hebrews. How is this day playing out again and how do we bring it to a close? The breaking of the stones of Torah prophecy of the events we are living out today.

Israel opens up for tourism. It is time to take the plans and turn them into action. Registration for Connect To Israel 2022 is a reality. Spots are limited. connecttoisrael.org

We continue with the amazing picture of the Tabernacle and the lessons it brings forth for our lives. In the end it would become a witness of the faithfulness of those who gave to the right offering for the right purpose. The people could see what they gave and take pride in the results. We have opportunities today for the same.

Many will dwell on the failures of the Hebrews in the wilderness. How about we focus on when they not only got something right, but they got it real right. Their work then still speaks loudly today. From the priest’s robes and the placement of the stones to bells and pomegranates. So much to take in!

The Book of Leviticus is so misunderstood. It is not just a list of dos and don’ts, but rather it is a revelation into the very being of our Creator. Each offering has special meaning. This week we focus on the difference between inadvertent and willing sin. Is it enough to just say “I’m sorry?”

Preparations for Purim. Is there a connection to world events? Leaders hiding behind masks? connecttoisrael.org

With events of this world many are praying more serious for His Kingdom to come soon and in our day. His Kingdom is not the final goal though. The “Eighth day” is the goal. Maybe the Kingdom is just a transition from this era to the era which will be revealed after the thousand years. For now, we can only imagine!

So many people today believe the Torah to be an outdated document that has been replaced. Nothing could be farther from the truth! Yes, the Hebrews who the Torah was given to may have lived as a time very different from ours but the truth of Torah was, is and will ever be truth. It is our job to find the truth for our day in the pages of their day.

The set-up of the menorah gives us so many pictures for our lives. Yah has placed order into His creation. When humans try to change His order it never goes very well. Lesson to learn here.

The more we understand, the less we may understand. Good thing faith is not about our understanding.

Live from Franklin NC, current events in the land and people of Israel.

It has been 38 years since the Hebrews left Egypt. Frustration is setting in, a frustration which will cost their leader Moshe a very high price. Once again, the mantra is grumbling and complaining. Once again, the outcome is death.
