    Happy Thanksgiving Day...or..Happy Turkey Day?

    I guess we can complain, or praise God and thank God for all things. In some places, things can be worse. Complaining won't change things. We all have things to be thankful for. Well, here, at least I don't have to worry about stepping on a Funnel Web spider, nor swimming near box jellyfish...

    lessons learned from 1 Kings 1:1-31 and Matt 8:1-9:18

    1 KINGS 1:1-31 This tells the sad story of a father who failed to discipline his sons, and old King David reaped the whirlwind. Adonijah (which means YHVH is my master), if it were so, He would have been in subjection to his father David, had the nerve to proclaim himself king, even before...

    2 Kings 4:1-37 and Matt 6:1-7:29

    2 KINGS 4:1-37 Here, Elisha Ha Navi (the Prophet) ministers to a Shunamite woman, as some prophets had a public ministry, Elisha had more of a private ministry, ministering to individuals more than to the general public as a whole. Yeshua did both; he ministered to the sick, the hurting...

    Understanding Genesis 18:1-22:24

    One thing we remember from Parashah “Noach”, the Torah says that “Noah was righteous in HIS generation.” Does that mean that if he were living in the time of Abraham, he might not have been considered so righteous? If yes, why? Did Noah plead for the lost world before the flood? Did he ask YHVH...
