“The testimony of sin is what sin falsely says about our Father in Heaven. We know Him to be loving, kind, accepting of all who are willing to be separate from evil. What has sin said about Yahweh?” (11/11/23) |
“Christ in you, the hope of glory; that is what makes all this work. That is what makes us supremely confident, and also perfectly willing to be corrected and taught a more excellent way.” (11/04/23) |

“It is a difficult work that we do, a narrow path to walk we present. It is a difficult work to cry, ‘Balance, balance, balance,’ in a world that only knows extremes; but no fanaticism will guide anyone to the gates of the City.” (07/15/23) |

“Yahshua is High Priest, Ruler over a fellow- ship of shepherds to which we all belong. All of us seek the lost sheep. All of us guide the repentant into the one fold, the one little flock. All of us ‘mediate’ for others.” (07/01/23) |
“When those who are bound to their pain are healed, they are free… not free to be on their own, for that is not true freedom, but free to fulfill their place in Yahweh’s Kingdom by accepting the Father, the Son, and the Bride.” (06/17/23) |
“One cannot preach the Gospel with sincerity and skill unless he loves the one to whom he is speaking. Agape, God’s love, is the love of mankind without favoritism, without discrimination.” (06/04/23) |
“A pleasing answer reveals that authority and judgment have been placed by Yahweh upon His people. He accepts their pleasure, their approval, because His Spirit dwells within us, guiding our choices.” (05/28/23) |

“Dominion is freedom, it is authority. But it cannot exist apart from accountability, from submission to what our Father has placed above us. Yahshua Himself, given all authority and power, submitted to His Head, the Father.” (05/06/23) |
“Those who feel the weight of judgment, for the correct and balanced reason, that gift of the Spirit to desire to be clean before the Holy Throne, they actually want that accountability. They seek it out.” (04/29/23) |
“That is the purpose of all this, to raise up a people who, having experienced sin first-hand, will spend the rest of eternity ensuring that it never troubles the universe again.” (04/15/23) |

“I do not need the cage. The Law does not need to act as a cage to me. My obedience comes from within, like all true worship. Those who do not obey, it is because they do not understand the ‘secret doctrine.’” (03/18/23) |
“Feel what you feel, but trust in Yahweh anyway. When you are called, when you hear the invitation, you may know that you are ready, and that you have all you need to say, ‘What do I do?’ and accept the answer.” (03/11/23) |

“Every second that Yahshua was in human flesh was a miracle, a continuous, ongoing miracle. The miracle goes on, the same supernatural event. The life of the saint is a continuous miracle; so we are held in righteousness.” (02/18/23) |

“When does the peace-loving worshipper of Yahweh sound the alarm? To know this is to hear the voice of Yahweh, who sends His people into the world with a message, a ‘loud cry.’” (10/22/22) |
“Bands. It is a measure. A measure of our connection to the Savior, how connected we are to one another. It is a measure of our love for the Father, how much we love the brethren.” (10/15/22) |
“Church membership is a covenant with Yahweh in the Person of His people, a promise to be of one Spirit with a group of human beings in defiance of the Beast and its image.” (10/08/22) |
“One who, with sincerity and trust, reckons himself dead, is dead indeed. This is not merely theory. This is not merely symbol. It is spirit and it is life.” (09/24/22) |

Yahweh’s people are a Church. In fact, without the Church, there is no Covenant, and without the Covenant, as Exodus 19 tells us, one cannot be among Yahweh’s people.” (08/28/21) |
“What is your testimony? What is your character? What are the words you say about yourself, remembering that, because Christ is in you, what you say about yourself you also say about the Savior?” (08/21/21) |
