In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion Vayakhel, Exodus 35:1-3 tells us how the people made a place for God’s presence on earth. Thousands of years removed from the tabernacle we must ask ourselves if we, too, are making room for God’s presence in our own lives.

Understanding the test for adultery found in Numbers 5:11-31 shows us how, once again, our Creator is wise, just, and has the best interest of His children at heart. Far from being evidence of misogyny or the mistreatment of women, this test for adultery protects women.

In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion Ki Tisa, we get an extra insight from Exodus 31:12-13 about another aspect of the Sabbath and sanctification.

In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion Tetzaveh, we’re reminded in Exodus 28:2 that beauty is important to the Creator. How often are we taking the time to enjoy the beauty found in the world around us that is still only a shadow of the transcendent beauty that we’ll see when all is renewed.

In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion, Terumah, we see how having a generous heart is really what the Father wants of us. When He commissioned His sanctuary in Exodus 25:2, He did not require everyone to donate, instead He only received contributions from those whose heart wanted to give.

There are so many questions that get asked about Scripture, but one of the oldest and most common has to do with life after death. In this teaching we take a look at what happens for those who are in the faith and participate in the first resurrection, the resurrection of the just.

In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion titled Mishpatim, we see the Law of Retaliation laid out for us in Exodus 21:23-25. Some opponents of the Torah indicate an eye for an eye is a barbaric and horrific law, but is the literal understanding the correct one?

In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion Yitro, we see that Moses is given a bit of wisdom from someone else. We are reminded that even someone who is wise can learn from someone else.

There are some groups out there (atheists, radical feminists, and others) that believe the Bible is misogynistic, demeans women, and even endorses polygamy.  We’ve addressed the idea of the Bible being misogynistic in other teachings, now we are going to examine the accusation that the Bible does endorse polygamy, that is, a man having more than one wife at a time.

In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion, Beshalach, we read of Israel’s salvation from slavery in Egypt.  As we look at Exodus 14:30-31 we see how being saved through the Father’s great power taught Israel to believe in Him and the one He sent, Moses, so they did not perish. In fact, we will see the echoes of Exodus even into the New Testament.
