We present ourselves before You today, on Yom Kippur 2019, to confess our grievous sin against You, Yehovah, Elohim of Israel: our rebellion, transgression, and iniquity, and that of our Church forefathers. …

Life Changing Spiritual Ascent to Jerusalem (Zion)
Pictured above: Screen shot from the video, “The Children are Ready”, The Temple Institute by Laura Densmore I recently attended the Nations’ 9th of Av in Jerusalem for the week of August 10 through 16. It was a truly a life-changing experience for me! Our core planning team, (including Steve Wearp, Bob O’Dell and myself) had been preparing for this week-long event for over 8 months. After all the months of planning we saw a tremendous response to this event. The event had a three pronged approached: * Jerusalem attendees: Christians who came from the nations to Jerusalem to attend the Nations’ 9th of Av event (August 10-16). * Live…

Lively Stones ~ Building Walls or Building Bridges?
In 1241 CE, there was a pogrom in Frankfurt Germany (see entry on The LIST, 1241). This Judenschlacht (slaughter of the Jews) was sparked by the refusal of a Jew to convert to Christianity and resulted in the deaths of 180 Jews. Twenty-four Jews avoided death by accepting forced baptism. The synagogue was plundered and the Torah scrolls were destroyed.

He charged the Jewish people with the following (see entry on The LIST, 1090): “A stupidity bestial and more bestial” and “an intelligence coarse, dense, and…

What does it take to be a “bridge connector”? What is a “bridge connector”?
*We must be humble. We must be “quick” to repent. *We need to be pursuing a repentance lifestyle. *Some particularly big items that those of us in the Christian and Hebrew roots community need to repent of: the evil roots of “Replacement theology”. *We need to “own” the sins of our church forefathers that have been perpetrated against the Jewish people over the centuries. This can be done in the spirit of Daniel 9: 1-19 and Leviticus 26:40-42. A wonderful and splendid resource for beginning that repentance process is “The List”, co authored by Ray Montgomery and Bob O’Dell. *The first sin to repent down is our “spiritual arrogance, pride”…
