@DavidWilberBlog So the magician wants to pull a Don Lemon?

Circumcision was not bloodline specific. It was covenant member specific. Paul is not against the physical act of Circumcision but the idea that an act made you a covenant member. Circumcision didn't get you in, faith did.

Heading to Boston tomorrow for the #ETS2025. Excited to see some great lectures and interact with today's best scholars.

“By standing in prayer, we demonstrate respect, just as one would stand before a king. We show that we desire to give our full attention to the King of the universe.” - Tim Hegg

We've been gone awhile, but we're back now. Chodesh Tov!

Justification is the first step in our relationship with God... This is a natural progression in theological understanding since justification must proceed sanctification. C.M. Hegg

The Rabbis teach the Torah was given on Shabbat. This interpretation may seem odd to believers in Yeshua, but when we recognize the Shabbat was blessed and sanctified in Genesis 2 from all other days, it begins to make sense why the blessing of Torah would ne given on this day

Unleavened Bread challenges us to examine our lives and remove the leaven of sin.

Unleavened Bread (Chag HaMatzot) teaches us about the removal of sin and the pursuit of holiness.

Passover (Pesach) commemorates Israel's deliverance from Egypt, but it also foreshadows the ultimate deliverance found in Yeshua (Jesus).

Passover invites us to reflect on our personal redemption and the cost of our freedom.

At the Western WA. Messianic Conference today. Grateful to speak on Titus chapters 2 & 3 and personal sanctification in the life of individual believers. #messianic #Titus #conference

The appointed times of the Lord are not merely historical events; they are prophetic markers that point to the unfolding of God's redemptive plan.

The book of Esther reminds us that God can use anyone, even those who may not seem to be in positions of power, to fulfill His purposes and bring about His plan of salvation for His people.

The message of Purim is not just about remembering God’s past deliverance but also recognizing how He continues to be active in our lives today, even when we don’t see Him.

Purim is not just a historical event but a call to joy and celebration, remembering that God, though sometimes hidden, is always working on behalf of His people.

Esther’s willingness to step forward and risk her life for the sake of her people shows us what true courage looks like, especially when it involves standing up for justice.

Purim is a reminder that God’s deliverance comes in unexpected ways, and we must trust His timing and methods, even when they don’t align with our expectations.

The book of Esther, though never directly mentioning God, illustrates that God's hand is sovereign and active in all situations, guiding and protecting His people.

Purim calls us to reflect on the fact that we are God's people, chosen for a purpose, and sometimes we are placed in positions of influence for such a time as this.
