When you read something in the Bible and struggle with it because what you read conflicts with what you have been taught, a choice needs to be made. Trust the Bible or trust the person who told you something different. Psalm 119:142, “Your righteousness is everlasting and Your law is truth.” Don’t be afraid to check different Translations or ask questions and when you are satisfied you have verified a proper translation, believe the sacred word of our Creator.

Thought for Today: Friday September 26
You will never be good enough to go to heaven! Does this mean there is no hope? No – because of Yeshua, you and I have hope. YHVH Loves us and wants us to be with Him in heaven forever. To make that possible, He sent the Moshiach into the world. Yeshua, Who was YHVH in human flesh, was without sin – but on the Cross all our sins were transferred to Him and He died in our place. We deserve to die for our sins, but the Moshiach took our death and our hell. Now we can be forgiven and we can enter heaven.
Recently I was in Paris due to an annual work meetup and had the opportunity to visit the El-Beth-El congregation in Paris. It was wonderful - it's easily the most traditional service I've attended, but it was warm, vibrant, welcoming, praising God, and unified. Though I didn't understand everything people said to me in conversation I felt like I captured 95% to 98% of the teachings that were given, so if God helped open my ears and to grasp and understand what was being said, or helped the speakers speak in ways I (as an anglophone) would hear and understand better, I felt like God supernaturally broke down barriers in language when it mattered most. These people were so lovely, and I hope I have the chance to revisit them again someday soon!
