I have been working on this post for months. Literally. I would start it, and then I would put it away. :-) However, with the biblical feast days coming soon and so much division, both in Christianity and in Messianic and Hebrew Roots circles, I just couldn't keep quiet any more.There are ...

Torah Obedience Without a Temple
A dear reader asked me a question this summer: What are the scriptural requirements to keep God's feasts and are they in place today?

By Whose Stripes We Are Healed
Some time ago, labwork came back with a suspicion that I had a brain tumor, the kind that could potentially press on my optic nerve and cause sudden blindness. The test was considered to be over 90% accurate for tumor, so my doctor scheduled an MRI to see where it was located.During the ... Read More about By Whose Stripes We Are Healed
