“A Festival unto Yahweh”
"“GOOD is Yahweh to all, and, his tender compassions, are over all his works” (Ps. 145:9). What a powerful statement! Our old man nature directs our eyes to gaze upon what we do not have rather than to what we have; to dwell upon the sadness in our lives rather than the joys; seeing the glass as being half empty rather than half full. Man-made religions have taught us to whip ourselves for our short comings rather than having us dance for joy in celebration to Yahweh for life. Yahweh desires His children to be happy, joyful, merry and thankful. You mean, I am supposed to be happy, singing a song in my heart to Yahweh even when the world is in the state it is? Absolutely! We are to “SING to Yahweh, a song that is new, Sing to Yahweh, all the earth…It is good to give thanks to Yahweh, And to sing praises unto thy Name, O Most High” (Ps. 96:1, 92:1)."

“The Corinthian Church All Over Again”
"The Corinthian Church was having its problems when the Apostle Paul wrote them his first letter. If Yahweh was going to write a letter to today’s Christian Church, would the same problems that were addressed to the Corinthian believers apply to us? I am sorry to say, yes! We daily read the book of Corinthians but is this divine revelation falling on deaf ears or blind eyes? Do we not see that, in many cases, shocking as it may seem, we are daily practicing, unawarely, the very same sins that the Corinthians practiced. Many of the pastors of the Church, it appears, are blind to this truth."

“In the Beginning”
"Mankind (adam) are the only beings, in our seen world, that have the ability to ponder their own existence, the existence of their physical universe, the existence of the unseen, metaphysical (spiritual) universe and the reality of their own death. Not only do we ask the questions of how and why but we also seek Him who is the Creator, our Father, the giver of chay (khah’- ee = life) that is age-abiding; the giver of Paradise, of love, of joy, of peace, of everlasting bliss; the giver of a communion with one and all, which is sacred and pure. Our Creator answered our questions in the first three chapters of Genesis and the last three chapters of Revelation. These six chapters are the foundation upon which all are built, the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the never ending end."

"Baptism with the Holy Ghost"
"What is the baptism with the holy spirit. There are only two things, the creature and the Creator; one having its bounds and limits within the sphere of creation, the other having His place and habitation above and beyond it: not of creation a part, though the Author and Sustainer of its being; not mixed up with it in any way, nor inhabiting any part of it; but out of the world: “I came forth out of the Father, and have come into the world,––Again, I leave the world, and go, unto the Father” (John 16:28)."

"The Word of Yahweh is Art of the Highest Magnitude"
"Art is the skillful production of the beautiful into visible forms. Michelangelo’s essence is revealed through his sculptures ‘David’ and ‘Pieta.’ These masterpieces can be drawn or painted by other artists but the essence of Michelangelo will be lost in part due to the translation and reproduction process. One must touch and see the original David to fully perceive the heart of Michelangelo. William Shakespeare was an artist whose pallet consisted not of marble but of ‘words.’ Words, as marble, can be chiseled with such masterful strokes that they result in a masterpiece that transcends mere communication but rather ascends into the heavens as works of art. Yahweh, the Creator, the artist of all artists, has unveiled or revealed Himself through His art, which is His creation." Read Complete Article
"Understanding St. Paul's Epistles by John Locke"
"To go about to explain any of St. Paul's Epistles, after so great a Train of Expositors and Commentators, might seem an Attempt of Vanity, censurable for its Needlessness, did not the daily and approved Examples of pious and learned Men justify it. This may be some Excuse for me to the Public, if ever these following Papers should chance to come abroad: But to my self for whose Use this Work was undertaken, I need make no Apology. Though I had been conversant in these Epistles, as well as in other Parts of Sacred Scripture, yet I found that I understood them not; I mean the doctrinal and discursive parts of them: Though the practical Directions, which are usually dropped in the latter Part of each Epistle, appeared to me very plain, intelligible, and instructive."

"Fulfilling our Calling -
Pursuing Your Desires"
"Yahweh called [klesis] us before the world was formed that we might be holy and blameless in His presence. “…We are––his workmanship, created in Christ Yahshua upon a footing of good works, which Yahweh prepared beforehand, that, therein, we might walk” (Eph. 1:4, 2:10). Yahweh offers an invitation to each and every child of His. This invitation is to take a course He has plotted for our lives through Christ, our Lord, Savior and Head. We have been called to fulfill Yahweh’s will, individual tasks specifically designed for us to complete before we go to sleep. The direction for our individual courses was not given to our parents, neither were they written on paper and given to our pastors but rather our courses have been placed upon the tables of our own hearts by way of ruah (spirit). Our course is unveiled through the godly desires stirring within our hearts, leading us onward and upward, if we but heed its call. This article is for the individuals, like David, who daily sought to please Yahweh. The instruction Nathan the prophet gave David was, “All that is in thy heart, go––do,––for Yahweh is with thee” Read Complete Article OR Listen to MP3
"Anointed Leaders are Flawed - Lessons learned from the kings: Solomon, Jeroboam & Jehu"
"Does Yahweh anoint men and women knowing that part of what they will teach and do will be contrary to His Word? Would He anoint a believer even if He knows that he will be worshipping Him along with man-made gods? Yes He does! Solomon, Jeroboam and Jehu’s callings and lives are examples of this. This lesson is vital to learn because believers can follow anointed leaders of Yahweh into sin, even though these leaders have done great things for Yahweh and Christ. Yahshua instructed us that you shall know a tree by its fruit. Distinguishing between good and evil fruit is not a problem, in most cases, but a problem occurs when the same tree is producing both good and evil fruit, as was the case of King Jehu. People have a tendency to believe that if a person is Yahweh’s servant, called by Yahweh, then everything he teaches and practices is from Yahweh. This as we shall see in the lives of King Solomon, King Jeroboam and King Jehu is very far from the truth." Read Complete Article
Ephesians - A Mine of Rubies, Emeralds & Diamonds
"The book of Ephesians is ‘a’ if not ‘the’ pinnacle of the Christian faith. To discover and understand these jewels of truth, we must mine below the surface, a labyrinth of tunnels that lay hundreds of feet below the opening, passages ever leading us on to open the eyes of our heart, enabling us to behold our glorious Creator, Yahweh Elohim of Host and His triumphal Son, Christ Yahshua. Ephesians is difficult to comprehend because of its sentence syntax. After the general introduction, the book begins with a 278 word sentence, Ephesians 1:3-14 and this is just the introduction to this glorious adventure. As spelunkers explore different levels of caverns, we also choose the depth we are willing to explore, expecting gems around every bend, hoping for a grand cavern filled with wonders beyond our greatest expectations. This journey is into the super sentences of Ephesians, of which there are many. Understanding these devises of communication will allow us to behold and fulfill our vital purpose upon the earth, bringing glory unto our Father." Read Complete Article
"Who is this Man? - A study in the Book of Colossians"
"Who is this Man whose coming was prophesied in Genesis chapter three, who was named by the Creator before his birth, who is called the only-begotten Son of Yahweh, who is seated at the right hand of the Creator? Who is this Man who by his birth changed the world’s calendars, who had more books printed about him than anyone else in the world? Who is this Man who people will live and die for having never met him face to face? Who is this Man that has given people hope for conquering death by promising them that they will arise from among the dead to live a wonderful age-abiding life on a new earth with him? Who is this Man who out of all the beings in Yahweh’s creation is the only one worthy to open the scroll in the book of Revelations? The Apostles questioned, “…Who then is, this, that, both the wind and the sea, give ear unto him” (Mr. 4:41)?" Read Complete Article
"Unseen Universe"
"The microscope and telescope revealed, to mankind, a physical universe before unknown and unseen. Did these unknown worlds exist before we could see them? Why of course they did! Existence of anything is not conditioned upon what mankind sees and then believes nor on what mankind disbelieves because he cannot see it. There is another unseen universe, a nonphysical (spiritual) universe where holy beings dwell. There is also an unseen world where wicked beings abide. Although we cannot see this universe, it never-the-less exists. This universe, much like our seen universe, is comprised of rulers, kingdoms, life forms, habitats, warfare, prisons and so on and so on. Since it is unseen and not physical, we can only know of it, perceive it, experience it or see it with Yahweh’s guidance; He, the Creator of this unseen world in which He lives, reveals to us its existence and attributes."
