Identity Crisis



When was the law given? Are you sure about that? Great teaching by Jim Staley!


Gen. 26:5 - because Abraham obeyed me and kept My charge, My commandments, My statutes and My laws."









Mystery of the Kingdom



Only ONE religion in the Messiah!!!



I have always had a hard time understanding how the same God of the New Testament would simply change His mind on His chosen "religion" and start a brand new one after sending His Son. Isn't God the same yesterday, today and forever? (Mal. 3:6)

Why then do we have to choose between Judaism or Christianity? Why not serve the same God of the bible, of the Old AND New Testaments, all wrapped up into one "religion"?

In seeking His Truth, that is what our family is trying to do. We are discovering that the more we learn, the more we still have to learn, and it is VERY exciting!!!!


We do NOT accept all the man-made rules of Judaism, nor are we even attempting to follow Judaism, but then, the more we study and understand the Truth in God's holy word, we see there are also so many deceptions taught in Christianity. More than most people realize!

I guess what I'm trying to say is, the Church (Jews AND non-Jews) needs to strive for unity, and when we look at the word of God as Judaism in the Old Testament and Christianity in the New (two different religions), we will never come to a full knowledge of His Truth. So I just want to encourage all of my friends to understand that it is THE SAME GOD we worship today Who led His people out of slavery thousands of years ago! The same God who delivered the commandments to the Israelites is the same God who died for our sins, and is also the same God who will come back for His people one day, whether Jew or foreigner!!!

If we all serve the same God, then let's study the WHOLE bible and figure out which of our current beliefs are not in line with it, and then correct them. We need to stop trying to be right and win arguments and start really listening to the Holy Spirit, lose our PRIDE.......let me say that again......LOSE OUR P-R-I-D-E, and change our beliefs to fit what the Scriptures say instead of trying to change the Scriptures to fit our beliefs.

Just some thoughts this morning. I hope this is encouragement to study, study, study, because that is what I intend and pray it will be for. :) ♥ you all!

Our Creator's Name

Is it really Law OR Grace?

Origins of Valentine's Day

Truth in Love

That's what this whole blog is about, what my LIFE is about! Sometimes people like me may come off  "harsh" in this text form, but it is truly coming from a place of love. I know I wouldn't bother to say anything if I didn't care.

This is another note on FB from a different friend of mine......



Isn't it love when we speak truth?  Isn't bringing a person to the knowledge they are lacking speaking truth in love even if that truth is a hard pill to swallow?

I have heard from several people that we need to speak kind loving words to convey truth.  I do think that we should indeed BE kind and caring but isn't speaking the truth doing just that?

For far to long people have been reading only what they want out of G-d's Word and in very errored and flawed versions (yes those versions can bring you to knowledge of salvation) but what next? (Thanks Brother Klepac)!  The question is will you settle?  Or will you dig deeper finding the origins and searching for truth like hidden treasure?!

Who is Yeshua {Jesus} What would HE do?  What did He do?  He did the will of the Father!  He followed all the commands, He celebrated Shabbat, He celebrated all the Holy feasts and festivals, He abstained from the pagan rituals and ways of doing things.  He ate only clean food and drank that which was clean also.  He prayed, He read the Scriptures, He listened, He taught, He helped those in need. 

Who is He?  He's Jewish coming from the line of David!  He is the only one Holy and Pure!  He was our sacrafice.  He studied for 30 years, not in a seminary but in G-d's Holy Word.  30 years of devout and complete worship to YHVH.  His ministry was only 3 1/2 years so He spent most of His time studying, not so today for the average church goer or pastor!  He touched peoples lives, He prayed for them, He healed them, He pointed to thier sin and showed them the way out.  He put everyone else first hoping that all would follow His example.  He is G-d, He is life, He is truth, He is the Word that people hate so much.  He is the Truth in Love.

Are we forgetting that if we love people, our friends and family that we will give them the whole truth?!  Are we forgetting that the whole truth is from B'ersheet to Revelation?  Are we forgetting to tell people that being a follower of El Elyon and Yeshua is hard work and not for the faint hearted.  Are we forgetting to tell them that you will have to give up everything to serve the Most High G-d?!  But if we don't and we choose to have it all now and serve the world and Satan they will surely burn in the fires of Hades.  Are we forgetting to tell them that the earth is quakeing as a sign of birth pangs for the second coming and that we all need to be ready? 

Why would The Word warn us to be ready if we didn't have to do anything at all?   Is it truly LOVE to hide these things from people?  Isn't it love if we share the truth and point to the One True Redeemer, Yeshua the Messiah?  Isn't it love telling them that it is so worth all the sacrafice, persecution, glares, stares, mockings, gossip, tales people tell and death to follow YHVH and Yeshua?!!  Isn't it love telling them that in the end IF we peresever and don't look back like Lot's wife did that we will inherate the Kingdom?!  Isn't it love telling them that you don't want to just come in smelling like smoke but that you will want to have treasures there when you get there?!

It is NOT love telling people that they can keep on sinning and expect to get into heaven, it's a lie.  It's kind and cozy to hear and most people take comfort in that but it's a lie right from the decievers mouth.  Why do you think that the Word warns us to watch out for wolves in sheeps clothing?  It's because they are out there and REAL!

Please don't take my word for it.  Research it, dig, ask, seek, knock, pray G-d's Word to Him, search, study, pray, pray, pray and trust that YHVH will bring you to the truth.  Not pastors truth, not Amy's truth, not the worlds truth, not John Doe's truth BUT HIS infalliable, omnipresenct, omniscient Truth.  It may seem harsh to some but it is truth in love.  Walls may have to come down but it is truth.  Your reality may crumble (mine did) but it is truth.  Everything you thought was fine may all of a sudden seem disgusting to you but it is truth.  YHVH {G-d} can not lie, He is not a liar, His ways are perfect and infalliable.  He speaks Truth out of Love for all man kind.  Yet we have inherited lies from our fore fathers and claimed them as truth.  SEEK TRUTH!

"The L-rd is not slow in keeping his promise, as some people think of slowness; on the contrary, He is patient with you; for it is not His purpose that anyone should be destroyed, but that everyone should turn from his sin.  However, the Day of the L-dr will come "like a thief."  On that Day the heavens will disappear with a roar, the elements will melt and disintergrate, and the earth and everything in it will be burned up."  {1 Peter 3:9-10}

We are all sinners and capable of sinning still after we have recieved Salvation.  We need to work out our faith with fear and trembling turning from sin and walking in righteousness always.  That way when Yeshua comes like a theif in the night you will not be found sleeping in your sin, you will have life with the Word able to stand in victory and be HEIRS of the Kingdom of heaven.

That is Truth in Love.

Now you have a choice.  You can choose to believe it or not, but that is NOT between you and I, that is between you and the L-rd.

AGAIN....READ your scriptures PLEASE do not take my word for it because I am a mere human being who is flawed and I could have erred somewhere in this writting.  Take it to the scrolls my dear friends.

Blessings and Shalom {peace}
