Blood Covenants
Part 1 of the Covenant Series I spend my days as a construction project manager. This means that I coordinate construction trades, make and track schedules and do paperwork. Oh the paperwork! It’s endless—a constant supply of forms, contracts, bills and invoicing, etc. There seems to be no end to it. Why do we have so much paperwork? Because paperwork …
Apartheid/Antisemitism Week Throughout the World
If you’re not familiar with antisemitism, you probably don’t know that each year, Israel’s enemies and those of her own people known as self-loathing or Liberal Jews, visit campuses around the world with the express purpose of delegitimizing Israel. This article is long, but thoroughly explores the history of antisemitism. Apartheid/Antisemitism Week Throughout the World Published: Monday, February 27, …
Longing…
Israel, O Eretz Yisra’el, how I long for you. What I wouldn’t give to traverse your land and breathe in the sacred air of your past, feel the sands of your present days, and weep at the Wall for your immediate future. I long to sit on the Mount of Olives and listen to the ancient trees share about the …
Covenant of the Heart
Part 6 of the Torah Series We’ve been talking about the Torah for some time now. We’ve discussed the fact that the Torah describes the righteous love of God. In other words, the Torah is God’s standard for how to put love for Him and each other into action. This Torah was given to us on Mt Sinai; but as …
The Covenant of Love
Part 5 of the Torah Series In our last discussion, we spoke about how the Torah describes love to us in actions. It doesn’t just tell us to love, it tells us how to love! The idea of love and obedience go hand in hand in the Torah. Let’s talk a little more about that. Jesus was asked by a …
The Love of God
Part 4 of the Torah Series “Now the end (telos—goal) of the commandment is love out of a pure heart, and a good conscience, and sincere faith. From which some, having strayed, have turned aside to idle talk, desiring to be teachers of the Law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm. But we know that the Law …
End of the Torah?
Part 3 of the Torah Series In the previous posts in this series, we’ve visited the image of God as an archer, shooting His arrow of instruction (Torah) at a target. We’ve discovered that the idea of righteousness is to hit the target by keeping the commandments, and sin is to miss the target by veering to the right or …
Straight as an Arrow (Part 2 of the Torah Series)
In part one of this series, Law or Teaching, we saw how the archery motif played into the understanding of the Torah (Hebraic word that we translate as ‘Law’). The action of shooting was our verb root yarah. The archer himself was the moreh (teacher) and the object being shot (arrow) is the torah. Figuratively, the teacher throws out, or …
Law or Teaching?
So you’re at the foot of a mountain, and you can’t see the top through the billows of smoke climbing higher and higher in the air. Suddenly the earth starts shaking and babies are crying. Men and women all around are screaming, calling out in fear for their children. You can hear the sound of rocks tumbling and trees snapping …
