Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Mar 15, 2005

Ahavah - A Hebrew Thought Of Love

Contributed by Alex De Guzman on Feb 14, 2020

Love or “Ahava” in the Hebraic mind is very different in today’s culture. In Hebrew, love is connected directly with action and obedience. It brings to mind the idea of longing for or breathing for another.

Most Hebrew words can be broken down into a three-consonant root word that contains the essence of the word’s meaning. The root word of ahava is “ahav.” The term ahav in Hebrew means, “to give.” True ahava, true love, is more concerned about giving than receiving. Being the center of someone’s ...read more

Harmony Amidst Diverse Opinions Series

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Nov 1, 2021

Differences between believers are not always about the Biblical vs. the Unbiblical; most differences are about the extra-Biblical or a misunderstanding of what Christianity is. We must therefore be careful in determining the hills for which we are willing to die.

My young son ran to me, crying. “Daddy, I stubbed my toe,” he sobbed. “Let me kiss it and make it better,” I said. “Which toe was it?” My son answered, “The one that has no roast beef.” [rd.com] 2.
