Oh brother… as if we did not have enough tsuris (trouble and distress) from work, finances and personal problems, we make more tsuris for ourselves by not being able to get along with each other. Yes, brother is against brother. The Bible says: Mordechai / Mark 13:12 (compare with Matthew 24:10; Luke 21:16) Brother will [...]

Vol.8 No.11 / July 2003 / Tammuz-Av 5763 I am finding a most disturbing "spirit" among many believers these days. No it is not a new spirit but an old one that seems to be gaining ground. I am not even sure there is a Scripture reference for it but I do see this ugly [...]

Vol.8 No.11 / Julio 2003 / Tammuz-Av 5763 Estoy encontrando un grandísimo ‘espíritu’ disturbador entre los creyentes en estos días.

Vol. 9 No. 3 Noviembre 2003 / Jeshvan – Kislev 5764 Esta fue una temporada de Festividades Bíblicas con bendiciones increíbles.
