This site is not about me.
For Jesus is the Way, he is Truth everlasting , and there is no eternal life outside of him. I am merely a signpost. There are many signposts out in this world today. There are some that also point to the Lord and the Truth, but beware, there are a myriad of others that are signposts that point elsewhere.
There is a final destination for everyone. You will need to seek which path you decide to be on. The journey that walks with Jesus is eternal life.....the journey that ends apart from Jesus is eternal death and damnation, forever separated from God.
Pray for guidance, direction and He will show you the way unto Him. Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life, no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." John 14: 6
Truth Bytes...cutting to the heart of the matter
Searching for the truth is not an idle occupation, rather it is the essence of everything. Without truth we are just living a fantasy, without vision or hope.
The scriptures claim to be “the truth” the true reality. So let’s explore some biblical truths that will bring meaning to our lives, a sense of purpose to what we see and experience, and guidance along the path that leads through the hills and valleys of life.
Truth is that two-edged sword...it can “bite” those who try to ignore it, or it can be wielded to protect those who use it with discernment.
But most importantly, truth, the knowledge of what is real, must be spoken with love, and an intent to help and support, not undermine or demean.
God is the source of truth. He created us, and gave us his mind and heart. Then he gave us a choice and free will. But he advised us to choose life. We must know the truth in order to make that choice. So join us on a journey through the scriptures as we explore some “truth bytes.”
The words Judeo-Christian are most often used to describe the biblically based religious, moral, and ethical heritage of certain western societies.
But there is a more complete definition of Judeo-Christianity:
"a belief system and lifestyle founded upon the principle of Sola Scriptura (by scripture/Bible alone). The Bible, in its entirety, is a complete and divinely inspired compilation of books written for revelation, instruction, and reproof.
God has a plan that has been consistent through history. This consistency is reflected in scriptures through God’s laws/teaching, the writings, the prophets, the gospels and epistles penned by faithful scribes. God's plan is revealed through explicit command and through stories about God's people. The personal and national examples of the faithful — Abel to Christ and his apostles — inform our understanding of God's purpose and His work in the world.
The Bible is a comprehensive life-map to both a good physical life and the only path to eternal life through Jesus Christ, the Messiah, the Rock of our salvation, the Word, the Lamb of God.
Judeo-Christianity emerged into the English-speaking world during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I of Great Britain in the late 1500s, as part of the non-conformist Reformation movement. This specific reformation realized that both the Old and New Covenant Scriptures were authoritative and superseded any decisions by councils of men (Matthew 4:4; John 17:17; Matthew 15:3-9).
However, this current revival of the "faith once delivered to the saints" in this century traces its beginning to what is sometimes called "primitive Christianity" — the original ‘Church’ that Christ founded and the apostles who continued in that faith.
So this is a channel to explore the truth of the Judeo Christian scriptures, from the perspective of the faith embraced by the early Christians.

People often wonder why we call ourselves, Judeo Christian. Well, we are not "traditional Christians" Catholics or evangelicals or charismatic Christians, nor are we Messianic Jews. We are people who were once part of mainstream Christianity, who came to accept the principle of Sola Scriptura, who reject the idea of "dispensationalism" as being without basis in scripture, and view the Hebrew and Greek scriptures as a unified whole. The scriptures alone offer us a hope of salvation through an everlasting covenant relationship with God the Father through the sacrifice of our Saviour. But this everlasting covenant does not nullify the national covenant that the Lord God of Israel made with his people. So if you are someone who wants to "label" ideas and people, then Judeo Christian is perhaps fitting, as it speaks to our love of God's word in its entirety.
