Long-Term Memory Loss

Today is Yom HaShoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day, when we remember the Nazi-inspired genocidal atrocity that took the lives of six million Jewish men, women, and children during World War II. Many Jewish people and others will take the time today to mark the loss of one third of European Jewry seventy years ago. There are […]

Where Are You, God!

I was recently asked to give a sermon on these words of Yeshua, spoken shortly before his death on the cross: “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” In the original Greek New Testament, both Matthew and Mark, the only two Gospel writers to report this, provide not only the translation of what […]

Purim starts tonight! – Are You an Esther?

The Festival of Purim begins this evening, Wednesday, March 4, 2015. The story of Purim is found in the biblical book of Esther, where we read how Haman, the highest level official of the King of Persia, plotted the destruction of all Jewish people out of his resentment towards one prominent Jewish man, named Mordecai.

The Last Days Indeed!

Of Issachar, men who had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do (1 Chronicles 12:32) Do you understand the times in which we live? Do you really know what’s going on? Do you think you know what’s going to happen? Do you think it’s the end of the world? There are […]

Are You What You Do?

How do you define yourself? Maybe this isn’t something you normally think about. Or you think about it all the time. If asked, you might give what you think is the right answer, such as “Child of God.” But really—who do you think you are? Would you agree that most people define themselves like this: […]

Are You in Trouble?

I am currently reading For the Love of Zion by Kelvin Crombie, which chronicles the contribution of the world’s oldest evangelical Jewish mission to the restoration of the Jewish people to the Land of Israel. CMJ (The Church’s Ministry among the Jews), was founded in 1809 as “The London Society for the Promotion of the […]
