This teaching on the 6th Commandment dives into the lives of Cain and Abel. The spirit of Cain is in the earth today, yet those of the Abel spirit are alive and well. As Elohim's chosen people, we were created to love and be loved. Where there is a lack of love for the household of Elohim, there will be evidence of lawlessness/disobedience. Like Ca…

This message is a very personal message - one of care and affection and of love.

In the beginning, the creation of the family stemmed from the desires of the heart of the Creator to have someone to fellowship with and who would rule and reign over His creation. As important as this initial creation was, as everything outside of Yahuweh must have a beginning point, the utmost importance and concern of the Creator is the continua…

True restoration of His perfect will comes when the shame of unworthiness – even as Adam felt that day because He knew the fellowship with His Creator was broken - gives way to oneness with His Maker -- where Adam and Eve – Man and Woman -- can look at each other in unity again-- in the nakedness of purity – singing the same song – once again, stan…

A good brother and friend of ours asked, "why do you think Messiah said He only came for the lost sheep of the house of Israel?" Messiah came to seek and to save the lost.

The increase in knowledge, per Daniel 12:4, without a love for the truth of Elohim's (God's) Word, (having the knowledge of good and evil) will lead us to abandon our relational love for others, God and even ourselves. The quality of the relationships in our lives is determined by who we depend upon (with child-likeness) to tell us the truth. This …
