December 21, 2009 "The Word become flesh, is it a distinctly Jewish Concept?" - A few months ago I run into an “anti-missionary” from the orthodox community and while talking with the person I felt it was necessary to write this short paper. The person said that the passages in John 1:1-14 that say "in the beginning was the Word, the Word was with God and the Word was God ... the Word became flesh and dwelled among men" is not a Jewish concept and has pagan origins. I wrote the article titled "The Word become flesh, is it a distinctly Jewish concept?" as a rebuttal to his argument. Looking at the concept of God in human form and the deity of Yeshua the Messiah, I examine the Masoretic text (Hebrew) and the Targum Onkelos (Aramaic) in order to demonstrate that John1:1-14 is a throughly Jewish concept.

April 5, 2009 Easter or Pesach (Passover)? - When the month of April comes around each year everyone begins to think about Easter. The question is what are we really celebrating? What does Pesach or Easter mean for us today? Do Pesach and Easter mean the same thing? As the Pesach (Passover) holiday proceeds, these questions are of vital importance especially if we desire to walk in G-d’s ways of holiness. My hope and prayer is the issues discussed in this article are taken very seriously. Having knowledge of the origins of Easter and Pesach results in a very serious transformation, the implication is the difference between a "Pesha" an "intentional sin" and a "Chet" an "unintentional sin."

May 9, 2008 Conspiracy Theories - I believe that dwelling upon the various conspiracy theories that are floating around on the internet can actually hinder our spiritual growth and tarnish our witness and ministry to those around us.

February 19, 2008 Is the Gematria a form of numerology? As believers in the Messiah Yeshua, should we be concerned when dealing with the kabbalistic interpretation of the scriptures called the Gematria?

November 29, 2007 The concept of repentance, forgiveness, and the messiah. Is repentance enough to receive forgiveness from G-d? Judaism says one thing, Messianic Judaism says another. How do we perform proper T'shuvah?.

September 7, 2007 Forgiveness Forgiveness is one of the most important things we have to deal with in life, in our relationship with God and also in our relationship with friends and family. But, did you know forgiveness from God hinges upon our forgiveness of others? Read more to find out why.

August 22, 2007 A Call for Authenticity.  This month of Elul is a month of repentance and personal reflection that culminates with Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. Do you take God's grace for granted? There is a deception that is so great it is possible even the children of the evil one can be fooled into believing they are the children of God. Examine yourself closely!

July 23, 2007 Atonement Outside of Sacrifice?  Yom Kippur is coming up here in a few months and is the most important holiday of the Jewish year. During ancient times, we would have thought about the korban (sacrifice) which was offered on our behalf. Today as we approach the month of Tishri, we begin our journey with personal reflection and repentance before the Most High God. Atonement for sin is a very important spiritual principle and according to God’s Torah we need a sacrifice in order to receive forgiveness of sins. Without a temple in Jerusalem how do we obtain forgiveness? As Messianic believers we believe that it is impossible to make atonement and receive forgiveness before God without a sacrifice. We also believe God has provided us a way to both receive atonement and forgiveness in his Messiah Yeshua.

July 15, 2007 Our culture • Our Upbringing • Our Walk with the Lord - “Breaking out of our culture and upbringing and stepping into G-d’s will.”  As a priest and a king, how do we honor and bring glory to God? How do we minister before the Lord? There are two ways to minister to the Lord, (i) through prayer, and (ii) in our bodies. Like fasting, one observes Torah out of a heart to offer their body to honor the Lord. But not only do we honor God in our lives, we also demonstrate our faith in the authority of the word of God before all peoples.

April 05, 2007 What are the Characteristics of a Good Teacher?   I challenge you to remain in G-d's word, and study to show thyself approved unto G-d and continue to teach G-d's truth in light of the characteristics of being representatives of G-d here on Earth.

Jan. 07, 2007 Religion, Evolution, and biased Research?  If political bias can skew ones research, why can’t a religious bias also skew ones research?

Nov. 11, 2006 Do Demons Speak Out in Today's Music?  Spiritual Warfare is something that every believer must deal with in their life and walk with Yeshua.  Evil spirits and their influence in modern music one place many believers have not considered.  Listening to secular Rock-n-Roll has spiritual consequences which can be devastating to our relationship with God.

August 24, 2006 Ask not counsel at the mouth of the Lord?.  Deception is at its greatest peak in history and the battleground is in the heart.  Without a biblical worldview it becomes impossible to determine what life is really about, that is to serve the Lord in all that we do!

July 11, 2006 To bear our iniquity! Reading through Parashat Shimini we are reminded of the importance of the priestly role Yeshua fulfilled as Messiah.  Both the Torah and b'rit hachadashah (New covenant) demonstrate we all have a ministerial calling by God.  The gifts God has given you are meant to be used in service to the Lord, how are you fulfilling your calling?

July 1, 2006 Does God need to be Reminded?  Reading through Parashat Ki-Tisa and Ha'Sipur Chet Ha'Egel, it appears God needs reminding of his covenantal relationship or is there a deeper spiritual meaning which can be learned and applied to our lives?

June 24, 2006 Kingdom of priests and a holy nation  All of Torah points to the messiah, from the text as a whole down to one word as demonstrated in Exodus 19:6.  Take a look at how Moshe reveals to us from the Hebrew scriptures the promise of messiah Yeshua in the fulfillment of the Abrahamic covenant.

Mar. 29, 2006 Historical Narrative of Genesis  I put together these slides to help with understanding the literary technique in sefer-bereshit.  The literary technique is "Historical Narrative" utilizing the vav-consecutive, thus from a plane reading of sefer-bereshit one can not get millions of years.  God created in 6 literal 24 hour days and rested on the 7th day approximately 6,000-7,000 years ago.
