Israel Helps Ugandan Pastor Blinded for His Faith in Yeshua

February 12, 2013 Evelyn Mulinde walked through the open-air market of a rainy Jerusalem this past week, her face moving between a soft, courteous smile and a tense, faraway look as she listened to a companion describe the medical progress of her husband, Ugandan Pastor Umar Mulinde. He is here in Israel recovering from a vicious attack that happened in December 2011.

Parasha Mishpatim (Laws): Humility Without Humiliation

February 8, 2013 No one really likes to feel like a slave forced into drudgery or servitude, like some kind of Cinderella, scrubbing the dirty floors of her wicked stepmother and stepsisters. Perhaps we all feel like this at times, and yet, Yeshua made the remarkable claim that whoever desires to be great should be a servant, and whoever desires to be first, should be a slave.

February 1, 2013 The name of this week’s Torah study, Yitro (Jethro), comes from the Hebrew root yeter, meaning abundant or exceedingly abundant.

Tu B’Shvat and the Spiritual Restoration of the Holy Land

January 25, 2013 Monday was a special holiday called Tu B’Shvat, also known as the New Year for the Trees. Here in the Holy Land, many will be taking part in planting trees since this holiday is Israeli Arbor Day. On Israeli kibbutzim, it is an agricultural holiday. But the holiday has spiritual significance, as well. In synagogues round the world, there will activities and prayers of thanksgiving to the Lord who has given us the Land of Israel and all its goodness.

Parasha Beshalach (When Let Go): From Victim to Victorious

January 24, 2013 The Exodus is the cornerstone of the nation of Israel: the commandments, the promises, the essence of Judaism, all began with this departure from Egypt. The Exodus also broke the power of Egypt and devastated it, and Egypt never regained its status as the great nation it had been.

Parasha Bo (Come!): The Angel of Death Passed Over

January 18, 2013 Parasha Bo (Come) begins with the eighth plague upon Egypt—Locusts. We may wonder why God decided to demonstrate His power to both Israel and Egypt. After all, He was fully capable of delivering Israel without involving Pharaoh in the process. Scripture is clear on this: God hardened Pharaoh’s heart in order to demonstrate His power over the false gods of Egypt, represented by each of the ten plagues.

Parasha Va’era (And I Appeared): When the Promises of God Look Empty

January 10, 2013 Even though God promised redemption to His People in Egypt, for awhile those promises looked like empty words to the Israelites. We see that through Moses, God repeatedly demanded that Pharaoh let the Israelite slaves go free, and Pharaoh repeatedly refused. Even though it sometimes looked liked he might cooperate, he actually made their lives harder in response to God’s demands.

Parasha Shemot (Names): The Proper Name of God

January 4, 2013 Moses knew that he couldn’t go to the Israelites under his own authority. He had learned this painful lesson 40 years earlier. This time, he had to be sent by divine authority. Moses, therefore, asked God for His actual name so he would have an answer if the Israelites tested him to see if he was really acting on God’s behalf (Exodus 3:13–14). The Hebrew words that the Lord provided for His name are Ehye Asher Ehye. What is commonly translated in English as I am who I am, or just I Am, actually means I shall be that I shall be. (Exodus 3:14)
