‘Feigned Religion’ DESTROYS hearts and homes; and by extension, marriages and churches. Some call this the ‘spirit of religion’. However, it’s more accurately stated as HYPOCRISY…or as we will see later, ‘untrue/denying’. Hyprocrisy (‘strange or destructive aish [Hb.]/fire’) is DETRIMENTAL to our marriages (and thus, our congregations) and too many are suffering needlessly. Yeshua […]

Knowing Who You Are (through!) Discipleship
Proverbs 19:2 Amplified Bible (AMP) 2 Also it is not good for a person to be without knowledge, And he who hurries with his feet [acting impulsively and proceeding without caution or analyzing the consequences] sins (misses the mark). Biblical Discipleship is not just about dispensing helpful information. It’s much more about developing holy, healthy relationships. […]
Fruit of the Spirit – Self Control
John 15:5 – “I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing. Gaining a deeper understanding of the ‘Fruit of The Spirit’ happens as you intentionally study the Tanakh alongside others over time. Yeshua said to […]
A Word to The Wise (Chokmah)
Who is wise and understanding among you? 1 Thessalonians 5:23 – And may the G-D of shalom Himself set you apart for special use fully and completely [separate you from profane things, make you pure and wholly consecrated to G-D]; and may your spirit and mind and body be tended to carefully in all respects […]
Yosef’s Special ‘Blanket’ and Bestowed Favor
Last week in Mereas Fellowship Study, we talked about Yosef and his favor (GRACE), then non-favor, fall and eventual rise to G-D’s ultimate plan for his life…for all lives in that time. As we walked through Yosef’s story, we came to understand that none of his pain, confusion, and abandonment was wasted. We felt and […]
The ‘C’ Word: Commitment (It’s Costly!)
I learn so much about myself and about human behavior in general through the in-depth study of God’s Word. I’m talking about taking a L O N G H A R D L O O K at This Living Word, word by word oftentimes. Commitment. I’ve had a problem with it for as long […]
The Shepherdess Standing GUARD
Shepherdess. Standing. Guard. Each one of these words has incredible significance. Consider each word carefully. Every teacher should be worthy to imitate. Every Disciple of the Messiah, found worthy to emulate. How do you SHOW someone to follow our Rabbi Yeshua? By FOLLOWING Him yourself. This is a demonstration. This is walking in His Ruach. […]
Gather Your Women Together!
(your invitation would look something like this) Home Fellowships are so rich with LIFE. Consider hostessing a group of women one morning or evening in your home. Together, you’ll learn about your ‘prescription’ as Ezer Kenegdo in a wild ride through Genesis 1-4! Here is an option for you North Dallas Locals and a Teaching […]
Shiny Shackles, Oppressive Yokes and Heavy Burdens
ADONAI ELOHEINU (ADONAI, our God) never called us to ‘slave for Jesus’. Not even one time did HE call us to serveHim – I mean ‘slave’ that way – and then attach His Holy Name to it. What HE has called us to is ONENESS with His Ruach, to BE at-rest/at-one/at-peace with Himself. “My yoke […]
Dealing with Shame?
What really does admonish mean? Is there a purpose and place for admonishment with the life of a disciple? If so, why do we shy away from admonishing one another? (Reference Romans 15:14, Col. 1:28, 3:16, 1 Thess. 5:14, 2 Thess. 3:15.) Why do we resist admonishment when it comes to us? To do […]
