This blog is for those of you have a burning passion for the Word of Elohim (from Genesis to Revelation), for you know its divine power and its life-changing potential. What\u2019s more, this blog site could well be a welcome home away from home for you if you feel a divine mission to \u201cwork the Word of Elohim,\u201d and to be that proverbial light on a hill and salt in the earth\u2014to share the Bible\u2019s delectable truths with others.<\/p>\n

It is my desire for this blog to be a candy store experience for those who have tasted the Word of Elohim and found it to be sweet\u2014 a river of life dripping with the heavenly nectar of Elohim\u2019s instructions in righteousness that will overflow one\u2019s empty soul leading to a heaven-on-earth eternity as spirit-sons and daughter of the Most High.<\/p>\n

This is your invitation to join me, Natan Lawrence, along with other members of my spiritual family, as we systematically read the Bible in a year following Hoshana Rabbah\u2019s daily\u00a0Scriptures reading schedule<\/a>. Then let each of us bring to YHVH\u2019s banqueting table the sweet tidbits, truffles, bonbons, and priceless nuggets and pearls that we discover in his word for our mutual delight.<\/p>\n

Our Redeemer and Master Yeshua said,<\/p>\n

Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word<\/strong> that proceeds out of the mouth of Elohim. (Matt 4:4)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Paul, the apostle declared,<\/p>\n

Study to show thyself approved unto Elohim, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. (2 Tim 2:15)<\/p>\n

All scripture is given by inspiration of Elohim, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness. (2 Tim 3:16)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

King David wrote,<\/p>\n

Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. (Ps 119:105)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As the blog host, I will toss out my own insights from the Scriptures several times a week, followed by questions hoping to illicit your thoughtful contributions. Also, from time to time, I will post short sidebar essays on a variety of provocative biblical subjects for your edification and comment.<\/p>\n
