Working for Success

It's not easy to leave the corner of a field unharvested, especially when you might be having trouble making ends meet yourself. How did the farmer find the resolve to follow this instruction? He had only to remember that the land did not really belong to him.

Topics:

business, chairty, fields, fruit, gleaning, harvest, Kedoshim, needs, poor, production, profit, sharing, success, tzedakah

What Holiness Looks Like

Leviticus 19-20 contains the Bible's description of what holiness looks like. The passage begins with the words, "Speak to all the congregation of the sons of Israel and say to them, 'You shall be holy, for I the LORD your God am holy'." "You shall not steal, nor deal falsely, nor lie to one another" (Leviticus 19:11).

Topics:

holiness, holy, integrity

I Need Atonement

The suffering and the death of the righteous Messiah also accomplished atonement—not in the Sanctuary on earth but in the heavenly Sanctuary. Yeshua serves as “a minister in the sanctuary and in the true tabernacle, which the LORD pitched, not man” (Hebrews 8:2).

Topics:

Acharei Mot, Day of Atonement, Fall Festivals, forgiveness, high holidays, High Holy Days, presence of God, provision, Yom Kippur

The Holy One of God

The commandments of God define holy conduct. All of the commandments of Torah, in some aspect or another, reveal Messiah. They each reveal some essential element of His person or character. The commandments are the will and wisdom of God.

Topics:

godly, holiness, holy one of God, Kedoshim, presence of God, separation, shechinah
