Biblically Kosher Release Update
God willing, we will be shipping our newest book, Biblically Kosher, next week. Biblically Kosher is a book that examines in detail what the Bible (both the Hebrew Scriptures and the New Testament) says about food. Many people say that they keep "biblically kosher" or have a "Leviticus diet" because they avoid eating the unclean animals listed in Leviticus 11. But the Bible actually says much more about what to...

A Six-Week Challenge: Shovavim
"Every action has an equal and opposite reaction" is the third of Newton's laws of motion. Most of the time when this formula is used, it is outside the context of physics--and is applied to choices that we make that bring certain consequences or results. This morning at our weekly FFOZ chapel service I passed on a challenged to our staff to make a six-week commitment to the "wayward ones."...

Some Religious Predictions for 2012
It's a new year. It's a time for some predictions. CNN released at the turn of the year an interesting blog of various spiritual leaders casting their predictions for 2012. There were three thoughts/predictions that caught my eye. Sabbath Becomes Trendy! Fourth Commandment makes a comeback! Sabbath named Time's person of the year! A new movement sweeps the country. They call themselves 24/6. Worn out by being tethered to the...

Five Reasons To Celebrate Hanukkah
1. Did you know that Hanukkah is in the Gospels? Hanukkah is not mentioned in the Hebrew Scriptures because the story of Hanukkah happened after the last book of the Tanakh (Hebrew Scriptures) had been written. However, Hanukkah is mentioned in the Gospels. Yeshua went to the Temple for the Feast of Hanukkah. 2. Did you know that Hanukkah is a story of religious persecution? Hanukkah is a story of...

This is the Torah
What is Torah? It may seem obvious enough. Torah means Law. But does it? If Torah just means Law, shouldn't it begin in Exodus 20 with the Ten Commandments? Those are the first bonafide laws of the Torah. Instead, the Torah begins in Genesis 1. It tells the story of the creation of the universe, the origins of man, the tales of the Patriarchs, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. It takes...

Rosh Hashanah & Admonishing the Idle
This is a season of favor and forgiveness, growth, maturity, reconciliation with God and man. It is a time of new beginnings. Listen to the sound of the Shofar! Traditionally this festival is a time of the creation of the world and the re-creation of man. It is understood that at this time man can experience the newness of creation through his reconnection with God. This renewal process does not...

eMidrash: John 3:16
Let's try to do a virtual drash (to inquire or seek similar occurrences) on the Delitzsch Hebrew Gospels rendering of John 3:16ff, 15:13ff as compared to the prayer Ahava Rabbah--the prayer immediately prior to the Shema, the "Hear O Israel...." Thematically there are some pretty nice parallel themes and allusions happening in these texts. We are not able to know if Deltizsch's use of the term Ahavah Rabbah is intended...
