Torah 101

We are called by YAHUAH to live holy, set apart, and clean as far as possible. But what does being Biblically “clean” even mean, and how do we keep ourselves clean according to Scripture? Biblical cleanliness has to do with physical cleanliness, healthiness, being...

So many people, myself included, have struggled with their finances. There is so much contradicting advice about finances and business floating around these days, a lot of it can actually be harmful and get us into bad debt that is difficult to get out of again. A lot...

When we think of idols what usually comes to mind is the golden calf, asherah poles on the hills rising out of the mist, and the fiery furnaces of Moloch. But, if we are really honest with ourselves, we can find little idols hiding in our lives, obscure and anything...

There is so much parenting advice floating around these days. From pregnancy onwards, well-meaning friends and family feel the need to load you with all their opinions, advice and parenting hacks. From whether or not to vaccinate, to schooling options, what to wear,...

In our modern times, the very idea of what it is to be a man, and masculinity, is being attacked as much as true femininity. The idea of gender and sex has become an extremely controversial topic lately and it is important to understand, as believers, what the...

The world would have us believe that all women (and even men) need to be feminists – that we need to fight for women’s rights and equality, because, of course, there isn’t equality in Western society these days. We are told that women should have a career and...

We are living in a time of great deception and iniquity, and as a people that keep the Torah of the Most High, and who believe in His Son Yahusha, it is our responsibility to speak the truth in love and to live our lives as an example to those around us. We are not to...

In the Bible we are told that we should choose between life and death, between blessing and curse. We can choose life and YAHUAH’s blessings by walking in His ways and keeping His commands. In doing so, we reject the curses that could come onto our lives. We choose...

Now that we have looked into why we should love our Creator and how He wants us to love Him, it’s time to have a look at what the Scriptures say about how we shouldn’t try to love Him. This can be a tricky one to get into, especially for those of us who grew up with...

We have taken a look at who YAHUAH is, according to Scripture. We covered so much and yet we have only scratched the surface of the information we have about who exactly the Father is! And now that we have a better idea of His nature and character, it’s time to look...

Now that we have had a real in-depth look at how we should love our neighbour, I’d like to return to the most important of the commands – that we should love YAHUAH the Most High with everything that we have within us! But who is YAHUAH that we should love Him? Is He...

A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity. Proverbs 17:17 If you have read my previous article on this subject, you will remember that Messiah Yahusha and His apostles were very clear on the subject of loving one another and how it is the second...

The time we are living in is devoid of love. You will see false love abounding, a love that allows sinful living and idolatry. The church will often tell us that we “shouldn’t judge” and “only love” instead. We see flashy parades with six-coloured flags all over the...

Yahuah, in creating all the animals of the air, water and land of earth, knew the purposes of each creature and, in His wisdom, also knew which animals were fit to be eaten by His people. Some animals were created to be decomposers, filters or cleaners of the earth,...

The Sabbath day was institute by Elohim (God) in the very week of Creation! He worked six days to create the heavens and the earth and all that is in them, and then He named the seventh day a day of rest, and set the example for us by resting Himself. Sabbath is an...

These days we are told that keeping the Torah is bondage, burdensome and even “spitting at the cross”. We are told that we should not be “under the Law” but rather “under grace”. I would like to present the idea that the Law of the Most High Elohim (God), Yahuah, is...
