Read MoreHas Sin Left You Naked?
New Normal Sin, in many ways, uncovers and exposes us, leaving us naked for all to see and open for scrutiny and judgment.

Read MoreWill You Trust YAHWEH!
Our heavenly Father, YAHWEH, has multiple divine attributes that we attempt to define despite our limited human understanding (Isaiah 55:8–9; Ephesians 3:20–21). Today we will examine two of the characteristics, omnipresent and omniscient. His omnipresent nature allows him to be present everywhere simultaneously (past, present, and future), while being omniscient indicates an infinite knowledge of all things. However, as mere mortals, our cognitive…

Read MoreDo you want to be Broken or Destroyed?
Please read the whole chapter. (Matthew 21:1-46) When something is referred to as “broken,” it means that it has sustained some form of damage or fracture, causing it to no longer be in one piece. Despite this setback, it is still possible for broken objects to be repaired or mended (1 Thessalonians 5:23). On the other…

Although these distractions may be subtle, they are highly…

We have covered sin and what Yahshua did for us in parts (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6) of the “To sin, or not to sin, that is the question” series, so we will not cover it in its entirety here. Sufficed to say, we have all broken the law (Torah, commandments, and precepts) of YAHWEH (1 John 3:4)…
