Jude 1:3, “Beloved, although I made every effort to write to you about the salvation we share, I felt it necessary to write and urge you to contend earnestly for the faith entrusted once for all to the saints.” A couple of questions we should ask are; “What is the faith?” And; “Who are the saints?” The answer might surprise you.
"Cast from upon you all your transgressions, which ye have transgressed in them, and make you a heart new, and a spirit new; and why will ye die?"
הַשְׁלִיכוּ מֵעֲלֵיכֶם אֶת־כָּל־פִּשְׁעֵיכֶם אֲשֶׁר פְּשַׁעְתֶּם בָּם וַעֲשׂוּ לָכֶם לֵב חָדָשׁ וְרוּחַ חֲדָשָׁה וְלָמָּה תָמֻתוּ
Eze 18
Thought for Today: Tuesday July 22
It is natural to concentrate on what the angels do for us, these who are: “sent to serve those who will inherit salvation” (Hebrews 1:14). But the bible indicates the angels do much more than that. Especially we are told, the angels unite in constant praise to YHVH, giving Glory to His Name and rejoicing in His Holiness and Perfection… Is this not an example for us? Should rejoicing and praise not be the hallmark of our lives? Praise, worship and glory to YHVH will banish darkness, and bring you closer to Him.
"If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love. These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full. This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do what I command you."
John 15:10-14
I'm convinced that Paul had Yeshua's Passover dialog in mind when he wrote his letter to the Ephesians. The passage above is the foundation for understanding Eph 5. If you don't understand Yeshua's relationship to his disciples and theirs to each other, you also won't understand the relationships of believer to believer, husband to wife, or wife to husband.
The same Messiah who said, "love one another", said "You are my friends *if you obey*. He serves his disciples, even to the point of death, but he serves with unquestioned power and authority over them.
The first step in justifying opposition to and even oppression of a group of people is to dehumanize them. That can be a subtle, even deceptive, process, camouflaged with good intentions and gentle words, but the result is the same as virulent propaganda. As David Altman explains in this third part of our conversation, that is the pattern of Jew hatred over the centuries – even within the church in all its forms.
At its root, hatred of Jewish people and the nation of Israel is a spiritual issue. That’s why it’s wise to understand how to walk in the Spirit. That’s the topic of “Spiritually Minded,” the latest midrash by David Jones and Barry Phillips. To be spiritually minded, we have to turn away from the world and our flesh and toward God, which is the message Mason Clover and Laura Metzing share in their music.

Proverbs 6 can be divided into calamities with four different (but related) causes:
v1-5 - Caused by words, which can be resolved by words.
V6-11 - Caused by inaction, which can be resolved by action.
V12-19 - Caused by actions stemming from bad character, and cannot be resolved except by personal transformation before acting.
v20-35 - Caused by actions stemming from lack of self control, and cannot be resolved except by self-discipline before acting.

One Spirit, whole—Father’s breath
by Dr Garth Grenache
and his Lighter Orchestra
2025:7:22
[Verse 1]
Before the dust, before the dawn,
The Father reigned, alone, enthroned;
From Him His mighty Spirit shone—
Unmade, unbound, by none disowned.
His Wisdom spoke, His Word went forth,
Creation’s frame, obey His call!
His Spirit hovered o’er the earth,
His living Order ordered all.
[Verse 2]
His Spirit moves through all that lives.
It is the Father’s, pure and true;
His Holy Spirit, One who gives
All life, all strength, all things their due.
In unity His presence dwells,
Yet grieved by hearts that turn away;
His works are many, power tells—
But He is One, the same today.
[Chorus]
One Spirit, whole—Father’s breath,
The Giver, Guide—Truth confessed;
One Spirit, Holy—Father’s breath,
The Giver, Guide, and Truth confessed;
His works are wondrous, vast in scope,
Yet He remains our only hope.
By many names His power is known,
But He is One, and One alone.
[Chorus]
One Spirit, Holy—Father’s breath,
The Giver, Guide, and Truth confessed;
His works are wondrous, vast in scope,
Yet He remains our only hope.
By many names His power is known,
But He is One, and One alone.
[Pre-chorus]
The Spirit is—not just His deeds;
The works are not the One who leads.
Creation’s wonders, gifts, and signs—
All flow from Him...
His will, His wisdom, all He gives,
In every heart where Spirit lives.
[Chorus]
One Spirit, whole—Father’s breath,
The Giver, Guide, and Truth confessed;
His works are wondrous, vast in scope,
Yet He remains our only hope.
By many names His power is known,
But He is One, and One alone.
