French Toast – Just Enough To Get To Heaven
There has been an interesting discussion going on in recent weeks about what exactly will qualify a person to inherit eternal life. I have come across as much watered down doctrine as I have over the top legalistic doctrine, which has left me asking why so many people seem to be set on doing “just enough” to get to heaven? While the over the top doctrine pushers would have you believe that you must believe exactly as they do, the watered down faction seems to be seeking the quickest, easiest, cheapest ticket that will be accepted at the pearly gates.

The Truth About Taking Risks
One thing common to people who achieve a high level of success is their willingness to take risks. One of my early mentors always posed these two questions when I was considering a risky move. “What is the worst thing that could happen?” and “If that worst thing did happen, what would the damage be?”
A Simple Yet Profound Leadership Lesson
I would really love to give credit to the proper person for this, but honestly the notes on my desk got shuffled around and I can’t seem to connect with which one of the presenters at the event is responsible for this teaching. It is so simple, yet so profound. I would also add that although this is directed at church leadership, the principals are valid for excelling as a leader in any profession or walk of life.
The Paradox of Elohim
Suddenly everyone seems to be discussing the oneness, unity, and plurality of God as revealed in scripture. The paradox exists in many places in scripture, but is most often cited from the Shema, a sacred prayer recited by Jews the world over, and found in Deuteronomy 6:4 “Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one.” It clearly states “the Lord is one” or “the Lord alone” depending upon which translation you read, however the the Hebrew word Elohim, which is plural, is the word translated to mean God in the singular.
Love Confession – Who Do You Belong To?
I am conscious of these things as I write, praying, as I strive to create content that embodies this concept, without pointing a finger and saying anyone is wrong… because it needs to be about communicating Yeshua’s understanding of God, and of Love, in a way that the reader will embrace, rather than reject because it contradicts a doctrine they have been taught in their church. I am clear that
The Word of God – Secularized and Sold as the Law of Attraction
“The secret” was revealed in ancient times, and is no secret for those who have gone to the Source, the Word of God, to find it. What troubles me most is that the word of God is a free gift, and not meant to be sold for a profit. There is no shortcut or substitute for personal study that allows the Supreme Creator to impart to you wisdom and understanding of His universal laws. In short, “the secret” is simply faith in action.
Look at this y’all, this is what I have been talkin about!
