Messianic Torah Observant Israel

These days, some cannot define the meaning of ‘woman,’ men think they are women, or women decide they are men. Society uses terms such as toxic masculinity, macho, chauvinist, misogynist, and sexist to describe men. Because of this, the roles of men and women, as Elohim intended, are all but lost to the depravity of the human condition. Addressing a topic not talked about robustly in Scripture, Ra...

The definition of 'remain' is "continue to exist, especially after other similar or related people or things have ceased to exist." The fruit defined in Galatians 5:22-23 identifies those covenanted with Elohim. As we endeavor to become like Messiah Yeshua, this fruit must remain in us. The fruit produced by the old man's fleshly nature, called "nasty fruit" by Elder Jackson, cannot remain as it h...

Making excuses when one wants to escape a duty or undesirable situation is built into the human condition. Some may call them little “white lies” or whatever.

There is no place in the Kingdom of Elohim where making excuses is tolerated.  To make his point, Elder Jackson takes us on a journey through some examples throughout...
