The Song of Solomon describes His Name as flowing oil, and He kisses us with the kisses of His mouth. Moses' face shown with the glory of God, but it was veiled because of the people. An angel went through the city in Ezekiel 9 and marked those whose hearts were for the Father in their foreheads. Lastly, in Acts 4:13-14, the Pharisees knew that despite being unlearned and untrained, Peter and John could speak boldly because they had been with Jesus. Your life, your countenance, your identity gets marked by His presence!

All scriptures used is from the NKJV.

Israel, at least biblically speaking is a reference to a people, not a political government, necessarily. With the frightfully growing tendencies of antisemitism cropping up in the nation, not even 100 years out from the Holocaust, how should Christians respond? Maybe some wonder what the big deal is with Israel, especially if you're a Christian. In the podcast, I scratch the surface about why Christians should pray for and support the Jewish people.

This episode is marked for having explicit content because the current conflict in the Middle East is discussed.

Colossians 3:18-25 and 4:1 outline roles and responsibilities of covenantal relationships as well as hardships we experience - sometimes we may not feel like upholding our end of the covenant because we feel like the other person isn't honoring theirs. But in all covenants, we do as if doing unto the Lord. When it gets hard, we remember that He called us and it is to Him we look. In return, we gain the reward of inheritance.

Today on the Hebrew calendar marks the Day of Pentecost. On this day in Moses' day, Israel received the Torah, part of the Word of God. In Acts 2 on this sameqaday, the Church received the Promise, the Power, the Parakletos, the Comforter, the Teacher, the essence of God Himself - the Holy Spirit. We are His Temple and His Spirit dwells within us!

A son decided to go off on his own, away from his father's provision. It may be a parable but Jesus based it on a true story - you and me. But there comes a time that we return to the Father. He has a way of interrupting how unworthy we are, how bad we've been, and He welcomes us with open arms, restores our souls, and heals our relationship. If that's you, in a foreign place where the love of God is not, return to Him. He is longing for you to come back to Him.

Luke 15:11-24, NKJV referenced.

Have you ever asked yourself this question? What does it mean to be saved? It doesnt matter how small we feel our sin is compared to others, none of us can measure up to God's holy standards. Thank God that it is by grace we are saved through faith. Perhaps God has been dealing with you about salvation, coming to Him. He is not angry with you, He is waiting to forgive you, receive you as a beloved child, and claim you as His own. Please consider listening to this podcast episode, if you feel that tug at your heart.

The Book of Revelation describes the powerful voice of Jesus as the sound of many waters. God has planted seeds through words, dreams, godly desires, and scripture. These seeds may have went through a dry season, but when the voice of many waters speaks activation to the seed of greatness inside of you, if you have prepared the soils of you heart, that seed will take root, mature, and grow fruit.

Silent Saturday. Beneath the surface of the grave, Jesus the Bible says, has descended to the lower parts of the earth to preach to those that were former disobedient. In that, He led captivity captive and took back the keys of death and hell. Even in death, Jesus is victorious and will lead out of the prison and into the resurrection with Himself. The story isn't over!

Good Friday. Full of sham trials, blasphemies, choices, and a long bloody trail from gabbatha to Golgotha. The Lamb of God is sentenced to death by Rome at the cheers of Pharaseic onlookers. His disciples are scattered, one betrayed Him, one denied even knowing Him, Jesus is dying on the cross for the sins of the world.

We too have choices. Jesus chose to drank from the cup the Father gave Him, Judas chose betrayal, Peter chose to deny Him, John chose to go with Him, the Jews chose Barabbas...what will you chose?
