Holidays
Fall on Your Face, Bow Low, and Cry Out for Mercy on Yom Kippur. It’s the Only Way to Overcome the Destruction That’s Waiting for Us.
If there was ever a year to fall on our faces, bow low, and cry out to God Almighty Most High for mercy, this is the year. Our lives, all over the world, have been turned upside down. Starting with a sneaky virus that pounces like a lion, followed by Newscasters creating unfathomable fear to being locked down, and sending some into financial ruin. But this was only the beginning

Stand Firm in What You Believe this Holiday Season
Tolerance and compromise is the message we are constantly hearing in our society. But while we, who believe in YHVH, are told to be more understanding, we are not being understood ourselves. If we choose to follow the scriptures and do what it says then we are rigid and judgmental. We have to lower our […]
Sukkot is the Feast of Tabernacles, a Biblical Feast Day
