The Prophetic Fall Holidays

The spring festivals clearly prophesied the first coming of Messiah; it stands to reason that the fall festivals are prophetic of His second coming. The long period between the end of the spring feasts and beginning of the fall holy days is symbolic of the long period between the formation of the church at the [...]

The Letter Writer: Paul’s Background and Torah Perspective

Replacement Theology is Anti-Semitism

The question of the role of the Jewish people in the end times is a hot topic between denominations. Replacement Theology teaches that the Church has replaced the Jewish people and is now the “new Israel.” Those promoting this theory believe God rejected the Jewish people because of their rejection of Christ. This doctrine is embedded in many Christian denominations.

Assumptions That Affect Our Lives

An old story illustrates how easy it is to be conditioned into a wrong thinking pattern. A husband asked his wife why she always cut off the end of the rump roast before roasting it. She replied, “I’m not sure why. I’ve never thought about it. My mother always cut off the end of the rump roast, so there must be a reason.” A few weeks later Mother visited the family.

Spiritual Roots of Diseases (Fear)

Last week I went to a conference on the spiritual roots of diseases. It should be no surprise that there are spiritual roots to many diseases.  Christians have  same statistics in the areas of cancer, heart disease, depression, divorce, diabetes, etc.  as unbelievers. Diseases are choking the church!
I mentioned I would write about the theories [...]

The Secret of Fulfilling the Law

From the very beginning of the New Testament era, the question of the proper relationship of the believer to the law of God outlined in the Hebrew Scriptures has been a subject of heated debate. Within the Christian community, there are two polarized extremities of thought concerning the law of God and its effect upon [...]

Concern Over Hebrew Ways

A lot of Christians investigating Heart of Wisdom show concern about our focus on the Hebrew people and methods. Why?

Well, it is somewhat normal to react this way– It’s the same as the wrath of a mother bear protecting her baby out of love. We don’t want anything to take away from the perfect sacrifice of Jesus. Any hint of needing to add some kind of work makes those who love Christ and appreciate His sacrifice respond with a knee-jerk reaction –they are being loyal to our Messiah.

Celebrating the Biblical Holidays

During Bible study, our family discovered something that we had heard very little about from church. We found out God had set apart special days to worship and honor Him. By learning about the practices of these special days, we could learn about and worship God. We spent some time studying the holidays from Scripture [...]
