What is ‘the bondwoman and the free-woman’ ? Does Paul actually teach the Law is done away with? Can he teach that concept and still qualify as an Apostle? In this 3rd installment of our discussion of Paul’s letter to the galoots in Galatia, we examine a little more closely the ‘Two Covenants’, Paul’s support and proper use of the Torah, as well as his battle against it’s misuse by those ‘who seek to be justified by the Law.’ Shalom – J&R
We harvested our first round of Elderberries today and Rhonda made her first batch of ‘Elderberry Tincture’. She put some cloves and a couple cinnamon sticks. Now it just needs to set for about 6 weeks in a dark, cool spot. when it comes time to take it or administer it to the grandkids for the medicinal purposes for which it was made, you add honey and hot water. The hot water dissipates the alcohol and the honey makes it taste better . . . Good Job, babe.
Law and Grace are inseparably linked in the Plan of God rather than ‘opposites’ as most of us were taught. Is Jesus really the ‘end of the law’ ? Join us this week for Part 2 of this series as we delve a little deeper into this letter to the Galatians by the Torah Scholar, Torah Teacher and Torah Keeper known as The Apostle Paul.
Shalom
Did Paul the Apostle actually teach against The Law? Did he really teach the people the Torah no longer applies because of the work of Messiah on the cross? Did Paul keep Torah? And if he did and taught against it, does that not make him a hypocrite and guilty of the same sin for which he confronted Peter? This week we begin a study of Paul’s letter to the congregation at Galatia and a closer look at the walk and writings of this one who would suffer much for The Kingdom. Shalom
Thursday was one of those ‘It’s been a long week so far today’ kind of days . . . Rhonda’s Dad being admitted to the hospital was the major event. In addition, our walk-behind brush-cutter (an essential piece of equipment here) broke down again and is still down, our lawn-tractor/riding mower gave up the ghost for good and our main laptop has ‘gone the way of it’s fathers’ . . . Abba says in His Word He will NOT put more on His children than they can handle, except for when He does, He will give a way out. Father – we are looking for that ‘back door’ today. B’Shem Yeshua – Amen . . . Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers . . . shalom – J
This week is Part 3 on ‘Biblical Preparation’ for the days ahead. We address some very basic, practical aspects of what it means to ‘be prepared’ as well as three important keys – No Fear, Proper Balance and a word to and for the children. Shalom – J&R
Part 2 of at least a three-part series . . . Economic uncertainty . . . political unrest . . . global upheaval . . .end-times . . .blood moons . . . tribulation . . . birth pangs . . . ‘What do I do?’ Where do I go?’ How does this all affect me ? How do I ‘prepare’ for those that are coming upon ‘all the world and all that inhabit the earth?’ We ‘see’ all these things. We hear all these questions. We don’t have all those answers. Our Heavenly Father does. What’s The Word Say ?
The Torah study for this week is ‘Devarim’ – the Words . . . Psalm 119, verse 105 declares – “Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light to my path”. You can possess a lamp and oil, but until that oil is ignited, you have no light. On this Shabbat, may the oil that lies within us all be ignited or rekindled by the Fire of God’s Spirit that those around would ‘See The Light’ and glorify our Father in heaven . . . B’Shem Yeshua . . . In Jesus’ Name – Shabbat Shalom

Here is something for your prayerful consideration. There is a tremendous amount of information in this video. We do not necessarily agree or disagree with all that is said. We leave that up to you and the leading of the Holy Spirit. ”Be Bereans . . .and pray without ceasing . . .’
