How is true Christianity? Many people believe true Christianity is dead or lost. And many think true Christianity is only love or rules. However, one thing is for sure: true Christianity is a fight. I recently returned from a short trip to India. In India, the Spirit of God gave me a particular verse from the Bible. […]
The Feast of Tabernacles
What is the Feast of Tabernacles about? My first Feast of Tabernacles I remember my first Feast of Tabernacles experience in Israel. It was in 2013 in Arad.

Holiness- a call from God
What is holiness? A Sukkot story I remember when I visited the Western Wall in Jerusalem. It was in 2014 around Sukkot— The Feast of Tabernacles.

Remember the wife of Lot. Luke 17:32. In my previous post, I have tried to answer the question of why we need to remember the wife of Lot. Now, I sense I have to elaborate a little bit more and explain what exactly do we need to remember about her. There are at least three […]
Remember the wife of Lot, Part I
There is a short verse in the New Testament that is telling all of us to remember the wife of Lot. This verse is found in Luke 17:32 (ESV) Remember Lot’s wife. Why should we do that? I believe there are few warnings in the Bible more solemn than this one— to remember the wife […]
When do you know God is not leading you?
When can a believer understand that God is not leading him? How can one discern God’s guidance? Quite a few months ago, my wife and I had to drive to a different city in the center of the country to visit my in-laws. Everything looked good with the car when I checked it. However, after […]
