A Unique Believers Manual. For those who want to learn the TRUTH of what God is saying in His Word.

  The story of Boaz and Ruth is much more than just a love story between a wealthy landowner and a Moabite widow. It’s a powerful narrative that reveals the depths of God's provision and redemption . While the events unfold within an ordinary human tale, the theological richness of this story offers us a stunning glimpse into God’s heart for the marginalized, the faithful, and the obedient. To truly grasp the depths of what’s happening, it’s essential to understand the historical and cultural context, and the Hebrew language that underpins the narrative. To start, we need to look at Ruth’s position . She’s a Moabite widow —a woman from a people group that had been historically seen as enemies of Israel. The Moabites were descendants of Lot, Abraham’s nephew (Genesis 19:30-38), and the relationship between Moab and Israel wasn’t exactly friendly. In fact, Deuteronomy 23:3-6 specifically tells the Israelites not to allow Moabites to enter the assembly of the Lord. So, here we h...

  When Paul begins in Ephesians 5, he’s not just giving us some simple instructions. He’s laying down a challenge, one that’s meant to transform us from the inside out. If we only listened. He says, “Be imitators of God, as beloved children.” Imagine that for a second—imitating God. That’s no small task! But what Paul’s saying here isn’t about just copying the outward things God does. It’s about taking on His character and His love, allowing it to shape everything about us. The word he uses for “imitators” is mimētai , which means “to follow as a model or pattern.” So, we’re not just trying to act like God, we’re meant to live out His love and kindness in our day-to-day lives, because we are His children. And, as children, we should reflect the nature of our Father. Then, Paul tells us what that imitation looks like: “ Walk in love, just as Christ loved us and gave Himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God .” Now, if you think about this, it’s not just some casual ...

Something struck me as I was reading today… I thought I would share just a tidbit with you. After all, I don’t want to overwhelm those casual readers… because this is just a drop in the bucket compared to the whole Book! Numbers in the Bible? Oh, they’re way more than just for counting things. They show up for a reason, a purpose, and a message that goes beyond math class. You know, it’s funny how we often overlook these little details, but once you start looking into them, it’s like peeling back the layers of a mystery. The deeper you go, the more you see God's perfect order and divine plan unfolding in the numbers we encounter. Let’s start with 6—oh, this one’s a biggie. The number of man. Why? Well, according to Genesis 1:26-31, it’s because humanity was created on the sixth day. That’s right, day six. After God spent five days creating everything else—light, sky, land, animals, and all the plants—He says, “Alright, time to create man in My image.” You might say, “Six is my num...

  Let the Fear of God Come Back Into Your Bones — The Judgement Upon Abusive Fathers In the beginning, God— אֱלֹהִים (Elohim) —formed man in His image. Not just in flesh, but in nature. In design. In responsibility. A man was made to represent God to his family . To be a priest in his home. To cover, like the mercy seat covered the Ark. And when he fathers children, he steps into a sacred office. But what happens when that father, who was meant to reflect אֲבִינוּ שֶׁבַּשָּׁמַיִם (Avinu Shebashamayim – Our Father in Heaven), becomes a source of terror instead of tenderness? When his voice is thunder not from Heaven, but from hell? When his touch bruises, and his silence wounds deeper than words? The Word of God speaks. NOT YOU. Malachi 4:6 declares a prophecy with fire: “And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse .” Do you hear that? If the hearts of fathers don’t t...

  The True Meaning Of Shabbat (Sabbath) In Isaiah 58:13-14, HaShem (( הַשֵּׁם ) is a Hebrew term that means "The Name”) gives us a powerful picture of what God desires for His people when it comes to the Shabbat (the 7 th day of the week). He’s calling us to go beyond merely following external rules and to embrace the Shabbat as something truly sacred. “If you turn away your foot from the Shabbat, from doing your pleasure on my holy day; and call the Shabbat a delight, the holy of the LORD, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing your own ways, nor finding your own pleasure, nor speaking your own words..." What HaShem is saying here is that He doesn’t just want us to stop working on the Shabbat. He’s inviting us to honor it with our hearts and our actions. He calls us to set aside our own desires, our own distractions, and to make the Shabbat a day that is set apart for Him—a day that we delight in. But what does it mean to delight in the Shabbat? It means engaging wi...

If anyone—of any color, any background, or any belief—tries to come at me because of the color of my skin, my “politics,” or the ideas I hold dear, here’s what I have to say: God made ONE color. ONE color, folks. Brown. Just different shades of brown. We all come from one blood — haima mia in the Greek of Acts 17:26— He made of one blood all nations of men to dwell on the face of the earth . That means, before we were even born, God knew us all and painted us with His loving hand. Why did God do it that way? It’s so obvious: God loves variety. He’s the Master Artist who didn’t just slap one color on the canvas and call it done. No, He made a palette of many shades within that brown hue, to show His creativity, His wisdom, and His joy in diversity. If you have a problem with that, if you’re upset about the color of my skin or yours or anyone’s—take that complaint straight to the One who CREATED us all. Not me. I’m just here trying to live in the grace He’s given to all of us. And if ...

I often reflect on the days when my life took a turn that would forever silence my voice—but amplify the power of my faith. My name is Stephen, a humble servant chosen for a sacred purpose. Though many remember me as the first martyr of the Christian faith, I remember myself as one who clung to the words of the Master—words that carried me through life, and into death. It all began in Jerusalem. The city pulsed with tradition, history, and expectation. It was here that the words of Yeshua HaNotzri—Jesus of Nazareth—set hearts ablaze. His voice was like the wind: gentle, yet impossible to ignore. I remember leaning in, hungry for truth, as He spoke to crowds on hillsides and in synagogues. He would say things that shook the very ground of our understanding. "אֲשֶׁרֵי הָרְדֻפִים בַּעֲבוּר הַצֶּדֶק" “Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness…” (Matthew 5:10) I never forgot those words. Even when the stones began to fall, I remembered them. They were ...

  Yet God Is Merciful Hebrews 10:31 — "It is a frightful thing to fall into the hands of the living God." Greek: φοβερὸν τὸ ἐμπεσεῖν εἰς χεῖρας θεοῦ ζῶντος — phoberon to empesein eis cheiras Theou zōntos . That word φοβερὸν (phoberon) — it isn’t just “scary” like a haunted house or something spooky. It means terrifying, dread-inspiring, the kind of fear that grips the soul when someone stands naked before the Judge who sees all, knows all, and does not overlook wickedness just because we’ve gotten used to it. We've become so desensitized to it. And the hands of θεοῦ ζῶντος (Theou zōntos) — not some dead idol, not a weak or silent stone "god", but the living God who breathes judgment and mercy, who cannot be manipulated or avoided. This isn’t a teaching that coddles. It doesn’t offer soft comfort. But it does offer truth. The kind of truth that convicts, cuts deep, and—if a person lets it—can lead to repentance that saves. There are verses that comfort the...

  Before We Begin Imagine growing up with Yeshua under the same roof. Sharing meals. Watching Him work. Hearing Him speak, day after day, not from a scroll but from the heart of Heaven. That was James—Yaakov in Hebrew—the brother of our Messiah. He didn’t always believe. In fact, the Gospels say he doubted, even resisted, teasing Yeshua when they were younger. But something changed after the resurrection. Something turned doubt into bold devotion, and silence into a voice that roared through Jerusalem with the call to live what we say we believe. James didn’t write to impress. He wrote to awaken. Every word in this letter bears the weight of someone who walked beside Yeshua, then learned to walk after Him. Not in theory. In real life. In trials. In poverty. In persecution. In everyday choices. This isn’t a book of advice. It’s a call to action from someone who came late to faith—and then never looked back. THIS is from Jesus' own half blood Brother! 🙏 ✝ 🙏 The letter of Ja...

“Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil... When God declares, “Woe to them,” He is not simply offering a gentle rebuke. The Hebrew word hôy ( הוֹי ) is not a light word, nor one to be taken lightly. It carries the force of a declaration of judgment, a pronouncement that stands firm in the face of wickedness. It’s a divine exclamation that sounds throughout history, intended not just for the moment but as a warning to all generations. It’s the kind of word that echoes the severity of God’s anger and His judgment against those who turn away from His truth. This word signifies that, unless there is repentance, the consequences will be irreversible. When God says "woe" , He is speaking about the ultimate, irreversible results of sin. "Woe to those who call evil good and good evil." This isn’t simply a case of moral misunderstanding; this is a deliberate, willful distortion of God's truth. The Hebrew word for call is “qārâ” ( קָרָא ) , which means to pr...
