The eye is the lamp of the body. So, if your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light, but if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!
Matthew 6:22-23
How can light be darkness? The eye is a light for the soul. If it only lets in darkness by dwelling on evil, by interpreting the world through lenses of cynicism and pessimism, then it corrupts the soul, filling it with darkness, and then only darkness will come out. If only light is allowed in, then more light will come out. We can aid the light within other people by speaking light into the world, creating a positive feedback loop.

[Verse 1]
I think I’d like a castle grand,
a moat with dragon, and much land.
[Chorus 1]
But Yah knows best what should be,
His favour is enough for me.
[Verse 2]
A flying horse to me seems cool
From A to B, I’d be no fool.
[Chorus 2]
But Yah knows best how I should go;
His favour is enough, you know.
[Verse 3]
Tasty morsels, hunted meat,
Food of kings, their wealth complete;
[Chorus 3]
But Yah knows best my food instead
To do His will’s my daily bread.
[Bridge]
Yah works all things and works within
His word of truth sets free from sin
I put Him first and seek His will
His plan for me, let Him fulfill
[Verse 1 modified]
So though I’d like a castle grand,
a moat with dragon, and much land,
[Chorus 1 modified]
still Yah knows best what should be,
His favour is enough for me.
[Outro]
HalleluYah!
Oooh!
Yah knows best!
Aaaah!
Yeah, yep...
The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.
Genesis 1:2 #bereishit
There are a few things you can learn about the nature of the universe from Genesis 1, but some people ascribe a lot of nonsense to these verses too. It's important to remember that, even if Genesis is literally true, it's trying to teach you about your relationship with God, not about the structure of the universe.

Be Stong! Be Strong! And may we be Strengthened!
As we complete our yearly cycle of reading the Torah, it is customary to proclaim Chazak Chazak V’nichazeck as we close the book.
Be strong! Be strong! And May we be strengthened!
Contrary to what we were once taught in Churchianity, the Torah of our Heavenly Father was not weak and is not weakness. Rather it is we who are weak and subject to much weakness.
And in the Teachings, Principles, and Instructions of our King we find great strength and are made ourselves strong to do the Work and follow The Way.
YHWH did not send Yahshua to us because His Torah was too weak, but because the Torah is strong and we are weak.
Yeshua is not our strength as opposed to the Torah, because He Himself is not opposed to the Torah.
He is our Torah Teacher. He is the Living Torah.
Yehoshua Ha Meshiach is the Teachings, Principles and Instructions of the Almighty Elohim, and He was sent to show us by His Life how we could live out the Torah for ourselves.
He died and rose to pay for all our weaknesses and wickednesses and to make the already strong Instructions even stronger still.
So when we read them through and finish a book of the Torah we say Chazak Chazak V’nichazeck because we know the Torah is not opposed to our Messiah, because we know it is His very own teachings, and because we know in Him is our strength and not just in His person but His work aswell.
We can know and rest assured that by learning and living out the Teachings, Principles, and Instructions of YHWH, we will become strong and ever strengthened thereby.
Question Everything

On the Last Great Day, Yeshua definitively gave all Israel reason to believe that He is indeed the Prophet Moses foretold would one day arise, the Prophet-Like-Moses himself…the people were interested and the powers were indignant. Therefore for the Eighth Day, Shemini Atzeret, they concocted a scheme for proving Him a fraud, a trap only one like Moses was wise enough to walk out of and close on His would-be captors instead.
This is the story of the woman caught in adulterand brought to Yeshua to be stoned to death, and this is the day that it took place.
Without knowing the Holy Days one would not understand what was really happening and why. Without knowing the Torah one can not know what all was unfolding here.

Celebrate Erev Shabbath with
Sabbath Keepers Fellowship!
We've moved an hour earlier to stay with the season!
Every Sabbath Eve at 7:30pm Central Time we will host an informal get-together on our YouTube channel to bring-in and honor the seventh-day rest. We will have:
- A short Sabbath eve prayer service
- Highlights of the weekly Torah portion with some commentary

His yoke is easy and the burden light! Join us for some simple celebration and fellowship to end your week. The entirety of the service should be about 1.5 hours long. If you play an instrument or sing, contact the service admin to join in. If you don’t, just listen as others do their best to honor our Creator on His holy day.

Shemini Atzereth
“I am the Aleph and the Tav, the Beginning and End,” says YHWH “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”
“Yeshua said, ‘I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.’”
“And he showed me a river of water of life, clear as crystal, coming from the throne of Elohim and of the Lamb. In the middle of its street, and on either side of the river, was the tree of life, which bore twelve fruits, each tree yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. And no longer shall there be any curse, and the throne of Elohim and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His servants shall serve Him. And they shall see His face, and His Name shall be upon their foreheads. And night shall be no more, and they shall have no need of a lamp or the light of the sun, because YHWH Elohim shall give them light. And they shall rule forever and ever.”
Have a lovely closing Festival, and may you all be sealed in the Lamb’s Book of Life!
This evening begins the festival of Shemini Atzereth (Eigth Day of Assembly)! It is a separate holiday from the festival of Sukkoth and is a high-day when we are to leave our sukkah (tent, booth, tabernacle) behind to dwell in our permanent homes, yet still tarrying just a bit longer with YHWH. The word atzar means to stop, pause or tarry. The number seven, as applied to Sukkoth, connotes completion and fulfillment; whereas the number eight, as applied to Shemini Atzereth, is about going beyond completion and starting anew.
This day is also the celebration of Simchath Torah (Joy of Torah). It is the day when we pause to complete the yearly reading of the Torah, rejoice in the Word of YHWH, and begin it anew – all in the same breath!
D'varym (Deuteronomy) 33:1-34:12 and B'reishyth (Genesis) 1:1-2:3
Consider the spiritual meaning of these things, chaverim, how they apply to the Kingdom of YHWH and the marriage of Yeshua to his bride. Pause today to rejoice and give thanks to YHWH and His Word who dwelt among us. Then “turn it over, and turn it over again!”
Sukkot is over now 😢, and I'm getting a late start on posting related to the first chapters of the Bible.
