Teshuva of the Ekklesia: Returning to Our First ...

But Teshuva does not permit us to stand across the street and critique the house.

If we belong to Yeshua, this is our house.

Teshuva of the House: Healing What Is Near

We began with our own location on the road of return. Last week we searched the inner rooms—the desires, defenses, words, idols, and explanations that can hide what is actually happening in the heart.

Now we cross the threshold.

Teshuva comes home.

Teshuva of the Heart: Searching the Inner Rooms

Before examining our households, our congregations, Israel, or the nations, we stood where Adam stood and allowed God's question to become personal. Teshuva begins by telling the truth about where we are and then turning toward where God intended us to be.

Teshuva: The Next Step

Elul is the signal to turn our attention Godward, because His appointed times, His moedim (Lev 23:1-4), are close now. One practical expression of that focus: …

Seeing and Goodness Part 1: See-Saw ‘Love’ (God's ‘love’ Revealed )

Join me on a four-part exploration of Genesis chapter 1 tracing a few key words in the creation narrative that reveal profound truths of God's character and purposes. In This Part 1, "God's ‘love’ Revealed," we will see that God ’saw’ His new creation, and fell in ‘love’ with all He had made. The writer of Genesis reveals creation in a 4-part pattern:

  1. God ‘commands’ – “Let there be…, Let the ….”

  2. God ‘sees’ – “God ’saw’ that it was …)

  3. God ‘names’ – After each ‘Let there…’ is a name or description of what should be.

  4. God ‘judges’ – As He ‘sees’ what He created, He judges it as ‘good.’
