GREETINGS TO FRIENDS AT REHOBOTH


GREETINGS TO OUR WONDERFUL REHOBOTH FAMILY

                Bonnie and I managed to watch you on live stream on Shabbat and our hearts were warmed by the sight of so many of you. The worship time was anointed and powerful, the dance team was a real blessing, the shofars sounded great and Rabbi’s sermon was one to remember as he talked about Israel’s return from Babylon. The first thing they did was to find the original foundation and erect an altar of worship to the Lord. We too must return to the original foundations of our faith and the first priority in our lives is to erect an altar of worship and praise to the Lord.

                We were moved by Rabbi David’s impassioned plea for our people to get first things first and to get real with God. We need a solid personal relationship with the Lord if we are to make it through the days and years ahead.

                You know me. I love it when sermons are preached within the framework of God’s plans and purposes along with where we may be in the prophetic scheme of things. I agree that we live in ominous times and that we must know God on a deep and intimate level. We need to be born again and Spirit filled, denying self and taking up our cross and following after Yeshua. He is our life!

                Bonnie and I are deep into the throes of packing and sorting along with visits to relatives and taking care of business. I just wanted to drop by and thank you all for the wonderful sendoff you gave us. The theme was “Never Say Goodbye.” After all we are friends for eternity and so this is just a break in time to do something the Lord has told us to do. Otherwise we will have eternity together. Meanwhile:

                “The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make His face to shine upon you and be gracious unto you. The Lord lift up His countenance upon you and give you peace. Numbers 6:24-26

ONE OF THOSE THINGS PART 2

ONE OF THOSE THINGS (PART 2)                 I guess I shouldn’t keep you in suspense. The Colonoscopy was a success. It was by far the easiest part of my 4 day ordeal.                 I, along with those who now know me more than most, watched the whole procedure on the screen in full HD color. Doc told me that my colon was in good health. I had two little polyps which they removed painlessly and it was all over in about 20 minutes.                 To ally some of your fears, they weren’t staring at my caboose. They were all watching the screen along with me. I was covered with a pre-warmed blanket, festooned with 5 heart monitors, an oxygen measurer on my finger, and an IV pouring comfort and ease into my veins.       ...

THE CHURCH AS A LIVING ORGANISM

THE CHURCH AS A LIVING ORGANISM                 So often we have a myopic view of church. There is a pastoral staff that does what they are supposed to do. We come, we listen and we leave.                 I spent many years being on stage in churches of all kinds and I want to tell you that there is no lonelier place in the entire world than being up front in a dead church. If there is to be a smile, you are going to have to provide it. If there is to be a positive atmosphere, you are going to have to provide it. IF there is to be any inspiration or excitement or conviction, you are going to have to produce it, even as the entire congregation sits glumly staring at their laps.                 In a living congregation, when you pray the congregations pra...

THE SAVING OF OUR SOUL

THE SAVING OF OUR SOULS                 “Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you entirely; and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved complete without blame at the coming of our Lord Jesus.” 1 Thess. 5:23.                 I grew up in a prophetic church, so we knew prophecy quite well and a part of that included a fairly thorough understanding of the Sanctuary.   (The Tabernacle of Moses)   We knew all of the furniture and the compartments and how they represented justification, sanctification and glorification, but what I was never taught is that the Tabernacle displayed the three parts of man. In other words, man is made up of three individual parts... spirit, soul and body. Even less did we realize that these three parts are saved separately and that each part must be saved complete, as this text in 1 T...
