Thought for Today: Tuesday, December 09
In the Bible, we are called "children of Light and children of the day" -- 1 Thessalonians 5:5, because it pleased YHVH to share His mysteries and secrets with us. We are no longer in the dark -- we know where we came from, we know why we are here, and we know where we are going. In the midst of this lost world, and living in spiritual darkness, walk as a child of Light today! Be an inspiration for others!
Is the breach between Christians and Jews being narrowed? Beverly Hall and Cathy Helms have reason to believe it is. Their recent sojourn in Israel gave them ample opportunity to witness and take part in Jewish-Christian interactions on several levels. In this third part of our conversation, they share more of what they encountered in Jerusalem, and then take us with them to the Galilee where the Aliyah Return Center is making a difference in the lives of new Jewish citizens of Israel and the Christians who help them get established.
The Aliyah Return Center is one aspect of God answering the prayer that His Kingdom would come and His will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Barry Phillips and David Jones have a lot to say about prayer, particularly about our expectations of what we want God to do. They share their thoughts in a midrash they call “Consequence of Prayer.” Prayer does have consequences, both for the nations and for individuals, as we hear in the music of Teshuva and Peter Wales and Histax.

The story of Judah and Tamar is so strange to modern ears. Judah did what? Tamar did what!? OMG!
We are so far removed from the concepts of land and covenant identity that the behavior of the patriarchs often seems completely alien, but within the context of their culture and the knowledge that we've lost, it starts to make more sense.
Tertullian, On Idolatry, Chapter XV
Let, therefore, them who have no light, light their lamps daily; let them over whom the fires of hell are imminent, affix to their posts, laurels doomed presently to burn: to them the testimonies of darkness and the omens of their penalties are suitable
