Give Us This Day Our Daily Portion? I can’t imagine a Thanksgiving meal where we barely had enough to eat. The turkey comes to the table stuffed, and we leave the table stuffed! Many have echoed that definition of gluttony is one bite more than we have eaten. Despite the humor, let’s talk about a […]

The Pharisees infamously erected “hedges” around the Law, also known as “fences which protected people from breaking Torah. Jesus called these “traditions”.

If I admit that I am better at showing from the Bible what to do and not do, than I am at living what I’ve preached; that doesn’t make me a hypocrite, it makes me honest. If I admit that it doesn’t bother me to be better at telling than living, that does make me […]

Do you want to be faithful like God? This is an important question. People have argued and argued over whether we are saved by faith alone or by a faith that works.

ublic A Protestant was interviewing an Orthodox. The question was why Orthodoxy is attractive to those joining it. There were some interesting comments upon which I would like to add. 1. The Orthodox grew up in “non-denominational churches” which he said are basically, “cultural churches”. According to him they follow cultural trends because there […]
