News and commentary for Monday, 29 July, 2024.

There are others who teach this subject from a historical perspective, but what does the concept of honor and shame mean to you today?

When you interact with others, do you even think about what is honorable or shameful?

How can you apply honor and shame when in this Western Culture, morality has taken such a beating.

The definition of right and wrong, good and bad, honor and shame seems to be shifting sand. There is no longer a conventional understanding/agreement as to these concepts. Thankfully, there is a rock that has always been there, providing stability and direction for the human condition.

In this series of teachings, Rabbi Steve Berkson brings understanding and clarity to the subject of Honor and Shame from the principles and examples that can be found in the owner’s manual for this life–the Word of the Creator.

The Torah parsha this week, “Pinchas,” (Numbers 25:10-30:1) might be thought of as “part two” of the story that began last week with Balak and Bilaam, and ended with at least a bit of a ‘cliffhanger’ in the story of the deaths and plague associated with how Bilaam evidently managed to get the people of Israel to curse themselves, when he was not able to.

And Pinchas, son of Eleazer the Kohen, and thus grandson of Aaron himself, did something dramatic, even shocking, to stop that plague. And perhaps the fact that he was rewarded by YHVH with the “Covenant of Peace [Shalom]” might even raise some eyebrows, especially today.

What follows is then another “head count,” and ultimately a reminder of the “Appointed Times of YHVH, as described by the Erev Shabbat reading:

Last week, in the first installment of the story, Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship touched on the end of the story as well, and of Bilaam, and how he got himself killed. Deservedly.

But the story this week is Pinchas, and how he merited the Covenant of Shalom (Peace) from YHVH Himself, and for being “zealous” (qanah, in Hebrew) for Him.

There is, of course, peril in thinking we can cavalierly “do likewise.”

But these are perilous times anyway. So it’s a mistake to fail when we should act, too.

The combined two-part teaching is here:

Have you ever wondered what was going through Yashua’s/Jesus’s mind while he was on the cross? One of the clues is His statement, “My God, why have you forsaken me?” We find those same words in the first verse of Psalm 22, and it causes me to wonder and speculate that maybe Yashua/Jesus was quoting a Psalm to give himself the strength he needed to endure the torture he was going through. Maybe if that was how He endured hard times, it might be something that can help us as well; Something to think about.

News, commentary, and some observations about the major Deep State Macinations, ‘ for the week ending Saturday, 20 July, 2024.

From the DEI Poster Girl to slopey roofs to patsies galore – the stench of Big Lies Gone Bad here almost exceeds that of a senile fake president who’s adult pampers didn’t get changed.

There are still lessons, however…

This week, David Justice and Mark Call not only talk about another week of the most important events and incredible lies in American History, but also offer a “how-to” perspective:

How-To fight the BS we are being fed from every angle.

We have now reached the point at which the world has been divided into two kinds of people:

those with “eyes to see,”

Has AmeriKa finally become too stupid even to be saved?

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin “Bibi” Netanyahu delivered a one-hour address to a Joint Session of Congress on July 24, 2024, drawing no fewer than 55 standing ovations, the most of any such speaker in Congressional history.

It was the Israeli leader’s fourth address to Congress.

That’s more than any other foreign leader in history, more even than British Prime Minister Winston Churchill during World War II.

This speech is BRILLIANT! He is a truth-teller. He is a modern-day Winston Churchill!
