Lily Portion for Today:
Ladies, let your families know that a life without rejoicing is like a long road without accommodation en route. (Prayer: Our souls thirst for You Abba. Thank You for never leaving my family, not even in our darkest moments. Thank You for the example of Yeshua Moshiach in Gethsemane. Grant my family the grace to follow in His Footsteps, amein)
Joseph's life is one of the clearest living prophecies of the Messiah in all of Scripture. There are remarkable parallels between Joseph, Daniel, David, and #yeshua, but especially between Joseph and Yeshua (aka #jesus).

Our walk is the most important part of our witness. If you think about it, it is probably the only part of our witness. You can get in front of all the people you want and teach all the Bible you want, but if you aren't living the life, the words you say mean nothing.
We've seen this happen over and over with famous preachers that end up being caught in things they should not be involved in. Their old sermons, whether they were truthful or not, are thrown out with them.
How do we not believe that we should be held at the same standard? Just because we aren't in front of people on a TV or Video platform, that doesn't mean we aren't representing God through our lives. If we are claiming to be His and telling others either by our words or things we where or places we go, we should be following Him in all we do.
This is a disconnect I saw in my own life before I started following the Bible for what it says, in other words started doing the Torah.
Yes, I went to church; yes, I believed in Jesus/Yeshua; yes, I would go to Christian concerts; yes, I would share my faith when I could. All these things lead me to be known by many for my faith. I've been called "holy roller", asked if I was "Catholic", been sought out to answer religious type questions.
But, I've also called people names that should have never left my mouth; I've treated people with disrespect who didn't do anything that would have caused such a reaction; I've cut people out of my life based on my perceptions when I didn't see the whole picture.
In other words, I wasn't totally walking like Yeshua walked. If you had asked me during any of those times, I wouldn't have batted an eye and said that of course I was still walking like Him.
This is where Torah comes in and just like Paul calling it a schoolmaster, it was something that showed me where I was failing. It showed me how to walk closer with Yeshua and be more like Him. It is something that has changed my life, for the better!
I now know that my life is a better witness than my life before ever was.

Here is Part Two in this series on the churches of Revelation.
One Shabbat John was given a vision from Yeshua with a message from YHWH. It's long and there's a lot to it, but Yeshua starts by giving him messages for seven churches. Each of these churches can be representative of the state of our faith. Let's learn about them together.
Monthly discussion subject, or not?
I was thinking on how we can get more discussions going while building a library of information that other members can read through. As we are all on different levels of learning, a mechanism is needed to get conversations going as some people may take something for granted whereas others might not have even broached the subject matter.
The idea came to mind of having a monthly subject that we discuss as a group. This can be in the form of Posts, Forum discussions, Article or by asking questions regarding the subject. This would be over and above the good discussions already underway.
The idea is not to post a link to a video or an external article, but for each person to put their point and questions across in their own words so that it is easy to understand.
As example, Reuel Henocq has put a very good Forum post up regarding Paul's teaching about men having long hair - https://social.ttn.place/forums/thread/85/. That could be a subject for one month. I have my "top 5" list which we could expand on and then vote what the next month's discussion should cover.
As we are between feasts, it might be a good subject to look at how each of us determine Abib 1 so that we can understand where the other person is coming from.
What are your thoughts on this?
