Happy New Year 2024!
I wish you and yours a very happy New Year! I know the years seem to be increasingly wild and unpredictably distressing in unparalleled ways. There is good news, though: Jesus is the One who sits on the throne, and He said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” And He said, “Write, for these […]
From the Jews, For the World–Merry Christmas 2023
As we close out this devotional series for Advent “From the Jews, For the World” we look at a marvelous mystery: that Jesus would leave behind all of heaven with the riches and relationship He knew before the “Word became flesh”, and that He would choose to make His dwelling among us for three decades […]
Angels Still Sing (Advent 22, 2023)
The world is in turmoil on this Christmas Eve, but there is hope. For the Christian there is hope…from the Jews for the world. “In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that the proven […]
Not a Baby Anymore (Advent 21, 2023)
It’s ironic how people who are steadfast in their unbelief project themselves onto Jesus and want to see Jesus as some sort of socialist hippie who is tolerant of every kind of evil and loves sinners so much that He gives their sin a pass. Nothing could be further from the truth. They take the […]
Opportunity Knocks (Advent 20, 2023)
Had the situation been “For the Jew for they alone are the Chosen Few” there would be reason to question… “Why them?” God, we could argue, would have His own reasons for how He does things, but from a human point of view, it makes for a lot of sadness at something none of us […]
Not Done Yet (Advent 19, 2023)
I don’t know when this replacement nonsense began, but the Church has not replaced the Jews as God’s Chosen People. The Jews have been on hold, according to Romans, for one reason: so that the full Gentile number can enter. “And if [the Chosen People] do not persist in unbelief, they will be grafted in, […]
Beware of Dividers (Advent 18, 2023)
Have you noticed the young people, the unchurched of a young generation, falling in line with the “Free Palestine” crowd and their antisemitism? They flood social media with their thoughts, acting like experts. Their inexperience and ignorance of history keep them from realizing the gravity of what they’re doing. It’s beyond sad. The Muslim nations […]
One New Humanity for the World (Advent 17, 2023)
One new humanity for the world…but it’s not what the world thinks. Forging a one-world peace without an entirely new type of people is a losing effort. That’s why Jesus wants us “born-again”. Look at how Jesus makes one new humanity for eternal life and lasting peace. It’s a purchase agreement. One new humanity out […]
Life Everlasting (Advent 16, 2023)
The one thing a manmade messiah (or antichrist) can NEVER give is the ONE THING that JESUS CAME to give: LIFE EVERLASTING. For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son […]
