Lawless
This month I would like to discuss what in my opinion I believe to be the root cause of what we are seeing going on in the world today with uprisings and the earth doing what it is doing. I was feeling all month long over and over again one word, Chaos! When you read [...]
Read moreChoice of Law
One of the most important concepts in Scripture is that of “choice”. We are free to choose to either love our Creator, or reject Him. To obey Him or rebel against Him. And there are consequences, of course, for all of the decisions we make. These, too, are outlined in the Torah. Deuteronomy/Bemidbar 30 says, [...]

I have heard many people in trying to explain away why they are disobedient when it comes to the Sabbath. The most common one that I have run across is that now in Messiah each day is a Sabbath.
