Mon, 11 Jul 2011 07:30:08 +0000

Webmaster — Thu, 17 Mar 2011 16:50:04 +0000

In this brief article, I want to touch on this inexhaustible subject of the Blood of our Savior, what makes it so precious and why it has a power as infinite as the One who shed it. I will also show some ELS (Equadistant-letter-sequences) on the blood as found in the Torah...

Worship

Fri, 25 Feb 2011 15:38:33 +0000

Worship is a central part of the lives of believers. In John chapter 4, Yeshua declares those who worship G-d must worship Him "in spirit and in truth."

What is worship? How do we do it? How often should we do it? Are we confusing praise with worship and vice versa?

Preparing for Pesach

Sun, 02 Jan 2011 20:09:11 +0000

Pesach is a VERY busy time for women. There is much organizing, cooking, and cleaning! It also can be a time of confusion with so many different halachot. It is very important to sit down as a couple (with your spouse) or as a community and determine what your family's halachah will be concerning Pesach and keep a journal about your discussion and activities.

Four years ago my husband and I did that very thing. We found that if we did not then we would forget what was agreed upon.

Proverbs 22:6 tells us Train up a child in the way he should go, even when he is old he will not depart from it. The responsibility of a parent is to train a child… not just raise a child. People can raise dogs, cows, chickens, or any other kind of animal they like. [...]

Daniel’s Timeline – Part 3

Wed, 08 Dec 2010 00:08:34 +0000

Messiah’s return will bring the Jubilee. It is “the times of restoration” (Acts 3:21 ) when He returns. Interestingly, when Moses (a type of messiah) descended Mt. Sinai the first time with the tablets, the people did not receive him (as Y’shua was not received). We are told that man’s days shall be 120 years upon the earth. 120 Jubilee years coincides and confirms man’s time of 6 millennial days.

Webmaster — Thu, 02 Dec 2010 18:28:44 +0000

The angel Gabriel was sent to the prophet Daniel giving him a precise timeline for the coming of the Messiah. Since the Messiah comes twice at two different times in history, the prophecy concerns two different time frames simultaneously.

Bridges to Maturity

Webmaster — Tue, 30 Nov 2010 23:20:32 +0000

It is an unfortunate result of protestant-Messianic Judaism to continue protesting everything, that shock-and-awe tactics sometimes are the defacto standard of apologetics when discussing what we believe. The question is raised, is this appropriate with just anyone?

Double Standard

Sat, 23 Oct 2010 21:19:43 +0000

I just sat and shook my head in amazement at the hypocrisy. I have seen the word flabbergasted before and even used it at times but I had not ever felt it to this degree.

Shalom, shalom! I wanted to provide an update to everyone about the lack of new articles coming from Psalm11918.org. First has been busy-ness with our jobs.
