The Fall Festival Season - Bah Humbug!
Normally I struggle with the Festivals. I just botch them every year. I forget they’re coming. I don’t take the days off from work that are required. (Why can’t they all fall on the weekends!?) Plus, since we go by the sighting of the moon and don’t follow the Jewish calendar, we’re off from all of normative Judaism and a lot of the Messianics as well. Then I get to thinking how much better it would be to live in Israel. But would it? Therefore, I find myself with an ever growing desire for the return of Yeshua. Then everything will be as it should. Can’t wait.
How Much Of The Bible Is True?
The above may seem like a funny question, but is it? I think most of the people in the world who say they believe in God (I'm using that phrasiology very loosely in case you were wondering) would also so say the Bible is not entirely true. They may not take the first chapters of Genesis for what it means. Or they may not believe Noah's flood actually happened or that the Red Sea parted or even that Yeshua (Jesus) ever existed.
Demons Any Longer?
Are there demons any longer?
It doesn’t appear so. It seems like we’ve gone from the Salem Witch Trials to there ain’t a devil to be found anywhere. Even believers don’t give a lot of thought to the realm of the demonic, much less the world.
We’ve almost become immune to the notion there’s an evil unseen world swirling around us. I’m not saying we should go looking for demons behind every tree or under every rock. However, it might be advantageous to stick our spiritual antennae up a little bit higher and see what we can detect.
