You shall Name Him… Have you ever named something? A child, or a pet? It's an important task. Yeshua's mother, Mary, didn't have to agonize over the right name to give her child. He already had a name assigned to Him: Luke 1:26-33 Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God… Continue reading You shall name Him… וַיִּקְרָ֨א שְׁמֹ֜ו
Ohr: Revisiting LIGHT
There are many Biblical super-themes (redemption, exile, covenant, water, sacrifice), but it's the theme of light that shines the most (see what I did there?!).

The immediate response to YHWH's words was the creation of light...… Continue reading Ohr: Revisiting LIGHT
Revisiting Ra’ah: The SHEPHERD
This week I tidied up an old posting on the Hebrew word for shepherd. Check it out below: RA'AH Shepherd is a prominent theme in both the the Tanakh (Old Testament) and the B'rit Chadashah (New Testament). For something a little different, check out this video called, "The Shepherd". It is not a Biblical story, per… Continue reading Revisiting Ra’ah: The SHEPHERD
Owt: Revisiting a SIGN
Life is a little bit hectic right now and it's time for me to read and follow the signs. I won't be stopping but I am adhering to a caution (slow down) sign.

To check out some Biblical Rock Themes and Rock… Continue reading Tsur: Revisiting the ROCK
