Is the Bible B.S.?
Dan Savage's talk at the National High School Journalism Conference went viral over the past couple of days and was also featured on main news sites such as CNN. In his address he states, We can learn to ignore the bullshit about gay people in the Bible the same way we have learned to ignore the bullshit in the Bible about shellfish, about slavery, about dinner, about farming, about menstruation,...

Becoming A Better Boss
***This was first published on my personal blog: BoazMichael*** On Saturday night a group of us gathered together for the Meal of Messiah, which is a unique Seder that takes place at the close of the week of Pesach. It was a wonderful time--a time of singing, eating fish, and contemplating on the future work of the Messiah. At the conclusion of our Seder we went directly into Havdalah--a time,...

Remembrance and Repentance
With the freedom of Passover on everyone's mind I would like to spend a moment reflecting on a time of great tragedy. The annual Shoah (Holocaust) memorial falls this year on April 19th and should be a time of remembrance and activism for every disciple of Yeshua. First Fruits of Zion is supporting this activism through one of our strengths--publishing. For years I have wanted to create of book that...

Vacation Time
I've had an incredible amount of difficulty compartmentalizing my life. It seems that my social, family, and ministry life all blend together. Actually, they do blend together.

Near the end of the completion of the Delitzsch Hebrew Gospels I kept hearing from friends and even strangers, "When was the last time you had a vacation?...

This is the editorial letter in the current edition of Messiah Journal, entitled, A Simple Vision. I received a copy of Steve Job's biography as a gift for Hanukkah. I have been an Apple user for many years and have participated as...

Kosher Sunday School
Almost every Sunday that I am in town I attend a local Southern Baptist church with my wife. We enjoy the fellowship with other believers and it affords us the opportunity to build bridges, connect, and discuss perspectives. The last few months we've been working through the books of Numbers and Deuteronomy, which has been "home turf" for me. This last week we discussed the dietary laws--it was a...

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...
