    The courage of solidarity leads us to stand above the fear of infection and touch the other in his suffering and to lift him out of exclusion, loss of relationship and death. Then we become witnesses to the power of God in the world.

    The gospel passage Mark 1.40-45 shows how God relates himself to the human infirmities of body and mind. The story shows the possibility of human suffering under physical and mental infirmities. The story brings us clarity through the two opposing behaviours. God tries to bring healing into such a ...read more

    You must learn the language and literary method that the people in Jesus used if you truly want to understand the Scripture. Hillel's method of asking questions is the optimal way.

    Near Eastern people in Yeshua's (and later on) wrote in allegories, metaphors, and parables. Is this healing story real? In the minds of Near Eastern people, it does not matter. The lesson of the story is the key. The lesson is that everyone must open their eyes to reading the Torah and live ...read more

    Just like we enjoy watching our vegetable garden blossoming and growing -- our Heavenly Father, just loves watching His kids grow up into exactly what He has ordained for them to be.

    While carefully inspecting and counting the tiny little peppers growing from my sole jalapeno pepper plant, I remembered Grandma’s words, I love watching things grow. She planted the strangest things, unlike regular vegetable gardens. Grandma grew cotton and tobacco and just about anything! I ...read more

    After all is said and done, we need to be living our lives like Jesus lived. We need to awaken our hearts by filling our hearts with the things of God, and living the life modeled by Jesus.

    Many in our country today are claiming to be “woke”. But as we have seen over the past few weeks the church needs to become “woke” — the church needs to wake up, stand up, and defend all that is right, all that is true, all that is holy.
