Recently, I engaged with a post on the AskGramps website discussing the question of Sunday as the Sabbath. I offered a response grounded in scripture and Restoration theology. That response was later removed by the site’s moderators. I do not presume intent, nor do I take offense. Questions surrounding the Sabbath have long been shaped by inherited tradition, cultural practice, and historical development. The Restoration invites us to reexamine such questions carefully, not to unsettle faith, but to refine it through revealed truth. One of the great gifts of the Restoration is that it does not ask us to rely solely on post-apostolic tradition or majority practice. It calls us back to first principles, to Creation, covenant, and the direct word of the Lord. With that spirit in mind, I am reposting my full response here, not as a critique of others, but as a contribution to ongoing study and sincere inquiry. I offer it in the hope that it will encourage thoughtful engagement with the...

  A Return to the Church Yeshua Actually Built If we are serious about following Yeshua, then we have to be honest enough to ask a simple question. Are we following the Church He built… or the versions that came later? Yeshua did not leave behind a vague spiritual movement or a collection of competing traditions. He said plainly, “I will build My church, and the gates of the grave shall not prevail against it” (Matthew 16:18). That means something very concrete. It means that what He established did not disappear. It was not lost, replaced, or overruled. It continued. So if Yeshua was not mistaken, and He was not, then the faith He lived, taught, and handed to His disciples still exists in the world today. The tension is this. Much of what is called “church” today does not look very much like what we see in the Gospels and Acts. So it is worth slowing down and asking. If Yeshua were physically walking among us today, what would He actually be teaching? What would His communit...

  1. The Weekly Anchor: Sabbath as the True Rhythm of Time Before Yahovah ever gave Israel a calendar, He gave time itself a heartbeat . “And Elohim blessed the seventh day and sanctified it…” (Genesis 2:3) This is the first thing in Scripture called holy. Not land. Not people. Not buildings. Time. Every week, Yahovah built in a return point. A stopping place. A re-alignment. The Sabbath is not a memorial of the past only. It is a foretaste of the Kingdom . Hebrews tells us that there “remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God” (Hebrews 4:9). Every Sabbath is a rehearsal of the world to come. So the Torah calendar does not “turn over” once a year. It breathes every seven days . If you want to orient your life around Yahovah’s time, this is where it begins. Not with January 1. Not with a trumpet blast. But with rest, trust, and cessation. Sabbath is the weekly confession that Yahovah is Creator, Provider, and King. 2. The Redemption Reset: Aviv / Passover as the T...

Welcome back! Sorry we have been absent from our blogging and web maintenance for a bit, with Seniors in High School and others being promoted from Middle School to High School, these past couple months have been hectic and a bit stressful, as most parents can attest! This week we want to talk to you a bit about Studying your scriptures - this has been written in a more non-denominational format than other posts we put up, it is intended to be a guide for all the children of God, and the hope is that through diligent study of the Word, that each of us deepen our relationship with Him. Why Study? To be truly connected to the Divine is what all people desire. We must be able to understand, be given counsel, feel at peace, and cultivate a personal and real relationship with God—beyond acquaintance. For Christians, that is through the Holy Bible. For Christians who happen to be members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as well, we additionally possess as a sacred and value...

Have you ever pondered on the parallels between the teachings of Yeshua HaMaschiah, commonly known as Jesus Christ, and the profound wisdom enshrined in the Torah? Through a careful examination of their teachings, this article will shed light on the interconnectedness and disparities in their messages, as depicted in the revered King James Version of the Bible. Unlocking the Teachings Yeshua HaMaschiah's teachings are often viewed as an extension or fulfillment of the principles laid out in the Torah. His profound messages often mirror the ethical and spiritual standards inscribed in the ancient scriptures. Let's delve into some key teachings exemplifying this connection. Love Your Neighbor Yeshua's emphasis on love transcends mere words and is deeply rooted in actions towards one's neighbors. In the book of Matthew 22:39 , he states, "And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself." This teaching resonates with the Torah's emphas...
