The Goodness of God

R. Dennis Richards starts from a strange command to the prophet Hosea to marry a harlot, and shows how our God is more kind and merciful than we could ever imagine. He shows us His glory according to a key in the Psalms.

Hand of Elohim 2 – Just Believe? (Terumah)

R. Paul Falk examines the roots beneath Romans 10:4-9 that seems to indicate that declaring the Messiah “Lord” with you mouth and believing in your heart that God raised him from the dead is all that is required. However, the apostle Paul was directly quoting  passages in the Torah that tell the whole story.

A Different Look at Passover

R. Dennis Richards presents a unique perspective on the plagues that the Creator brought upon Egypt before the deliverance of Israel from slavery. Through each plague, he shows how the main purpose may not have been for Pharaoh’s sake, but for the sake of the people of Israel that had likely become assimilated into Egypt’s religious culture and needed to be reintroduced to the Creator above all gods. He then points out some strong parallels between then and now.
