The Bible says that all who call on the name of the Lord will be saved. That’s comforting to know, but what does it mean, really? It doesn’t mean that you are going to be free of the consequence of your sin. At least, not until you are dead. Oh,
I suppose that just about everyone reading this ministry blog has a Bible, aka The Manual. If you are reading this and you don’t have one, please find one. You can always go online to Bible study sites, but it is best if you have one in your hand, paper
(NOTE: this week is actually Shof’tim, which I did last week. Last week should have been Re’eh, which I am doing this week.) This parashah has many of the commandments we live by in our daily life. Eating, treatment of others, finances, worship, etc. This is just one of a

Here’s something I can really talk about, but not necessarily relate to: humility. I can talk about it because of the old adage, “Those who can’t do, teach.” As a Marine (once a Marine, always a Marine) I used to say, “It’s hard to be humble when you’re the best”,
