“Dating is a ritual of confusion we learned to call normal.” - Me Think about it. We spend years practicing heartbreak disguised as “love.” We swipe, we match, we ghost, we flirt, we leave — and call it experience. Every breakup is a rehearsal for divorce. Every casual relationship teaches us detachment instead of devotion. Somewhere along the line, we forgot what Yahuah actually designed for man and woman. “He who finds a wife finds a good thing, And obtains favor from Yahuah.” — Proverbs 18:22, NKJV Notice it doesn’t say girlfriend or companion for amusement. It says wife. He who finds a wife is stepping into covenant, into berith, into a union that mirrors Yahuah’s own relationship with His people. 1. When Dating Didn’t Exist Long before the term “dating” appeared, there was courtship — purposeful, accountable, sacred. A man didn’t “ask someone out” on a whim. He pursued with intention. A woman didn’t entertain endless options; she discerned a husband worthy of covenant. Families we...

We now move to the laws that govern our direct physical relationship with one another. The fifth commandment established the foundation of society in the family, and this one protects the most precious thing in that society: life itself. ​The Sixth Commandment is simple: " Thou shalt not kill . " (Exodus 20:13) ​However, the common English translation misses the powerful, specific meaning of the Hebrew. ​It Is Murder, Not Just Killing ​The Hebrew word used here is רָצַח (ratsach), written in Paleo Hebrew as 𐤓𐤑𐤇. This word specifically means "to murder"—the slaying of a human being with premeditation or malice. It is distinct from other words that mean "to kill" (like in war, self-defense, or by accident). ​By choosing ratsach, Yahuah established the sanctity of human life and reserved the right to take life for Himself. This commandment protects the victim from the malicious intent of the murderer. ​Murder of the Heart ​The law goes deeper than the phys...

We have arrived close to the halfway point of the Ten Commandments. The first three focused on our relationship with Yahuah . The fourth commandment acts as a bridge to the second part, which deals with our relationship with one another. ​This law is simple, but in our world, it is one of the hardest to obey. ​ "Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy." —Exodus 20:8 ​The word " Remember " is key. It's not a new instruction; it's a call to return to something foundational. Yahuah first established the Sabbath at creation, after six days of work. He rested on the seventh day , setting the pattern for all of humanity. ​The Sabbath: Not Just for One Tribe ​The primary reason many churches dismiss this law is the claim that the Sabbath is "only for the Jews." This argument falls apart at the beginning. ​The Sabbath was established at the end of Creation Week (Genesis 2:2-3). At that time, there were no Jews, no Israelites, and no Law of Moses...

Welcome back. In my last few posts, we've talked a lot about names—how they matter, how they’ve been distorted, and the truth they carry. Now, I want to take that same energy and apply it to something even more fundamental: The Ten Commandments. Many people see the commandments as just a list of ancient rules. A moral checklist. But what if they’re something more? What if they are a spiritual X-ray, revealing the very nature of the Most High? The first commandment isn’t just a law. It's the foundation for all the others. It's the one we have to get right before anything else makes sense. "Thou shalt have no other gods before me." —Exodus 20:3 On the surface, it seems simple enough. Don’t worship other deities. But when we dig deeper, the meaning becomes so much richer, and so much more relevant to our lives today. The Reality of "Other Gods" For centuries, many of us have been taught that the other "gods" mentioned in the Bible weren't real...

To expand a tad more on a previous blog regarding the ineffable name doctrine, for centuries, one of the most sacred truths was silenced under the weight of man-made tradition. The Ineffable Name Doctrine taught that the true name of the Most High, spelled YHWH (Yod-Hey-Uau-Hey) in Hebrew, was too holy to be spoken aloud. Instead, titles like "Adonai" (Lord) or "HaShem" (The Name) were substituted in scripture and worship. But here lies the problem: Who gave humanity the right to hide what Yahuah revealed? A Name Given, Not Hidden Scripture never instructs us to conceal the name of the Creator. In fact, His name is meant to be called upon, remembered, and declared: "And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of Yahuah shall be delivered." — Yo’el (Joel) 2:32 "I will declare Your name unto My brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise You." — Tehillim (Psalms) 22:22 The prophets knew it. Yahusha proc...
