I’ve spent over 40 years studying the Bible, earning a Diploma of Ministry and a Bachelor of Arts in Biblical Studies along the way. But all that knowledge didn’t make me a true disciple—it just made me more informed than the average believer.

I realized that to truly be a disciple, I needed to:

Change my mindset (Rom 12:2)
Circumcise my heart (Deut 10:16)
Walk in obedience (Deut 13:4)
When I embraced these principles and committed to living every day with the intent to be a disciple, everything changed. These three steps, when applied correctly, will transform you into the image of our Messiah, help you walk in the fruit of the Spirit, and lead you to become the person God created you to be.

"One thing I've learned is that there’s a fine line between walking in faith and walking in foolishness. We like to believe that when we make decisions that push our limits, we're acting in faith. No one wants to think they’ve made a foolish decision at the time—it’s usually only in hindsight that we see it.

A few weeks ago, I committed to something that required a significant financial investment. I had been considering it and praying about it for some time, so when the opportunity came, I jumped at it. But then, as often happens, buyers’ remorse set in, and I began to question whether I’d made a foolish decision.

Since then, however, God has confirmed several times that I’m on the right path. He led me to this opportunity, and if I partner with Him in faith, it will bear fruit. Faith doesn’t mean you never question if you’ve made a foolish choice; it means trusting that God has your back, no matter how you feel."

Thought for Today: Tuesday August 27

Give yourself, forget about yourself, do not focus all your attention on yourself and have a blessed day in Yeshua.

"Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him."

Pr 22

When people claim to know the Bible, they often mean that they are familiar with the parts that align with their doctrinal and theological beliefs.
Our goal should be to read the BIble from cover to cover every year.
