"Therefore since we are justified, acquitted, declared righteous, and given
right standing with God, through faith, let us grasp the fact that we have
the peace of reconciliation to hold and to enjoy, peace with God
through our Lord Jesus Christ, the Messiah, the Anointed One."
(Romans 5:1)
Les continues his walk through the Bible teaching us
to connect the dots within the Holy Scriptures.
"Gold for the uses of gold, silver for the uses of silver, and for every work
to be done by craftsmen. Now who will offer willingly to fill their hand and
consecrate it today to the Lord like one consecrating himself to the priesthood?
(1 Chronicles 29:5)
"Therefore I urge you, brethren, on account of God's mercy, to offer your bodies
as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God, which is your spiritual service of worship."
(Romans 12:1)
Lord, in the strength of grace,
With a glad heart and free,
Myself, my residue of days,
I consecrate to Thee.
Thy ransomed servant, I
Restore to thee Thy own;
And, from this moment, live or die
To serve my God alone.

The Feast of Shavuot begins this year at sunset on Thursday May 21, 2026 until
nightfall on Saturday May 23, 2026. In Israel, this important time coincides
with the date that God gave the Torah (Law) to Israel on Mount Sinai
more than 3,000 years ago.
Pentecost is known as the Jewish Feast of Weeks, (Shavuot) and will
take place on the following Sunday May, 24th, 2026. Occurring fifty days
after Easter, it commemorates the descent of the Holy Spirit on the disciples
waiting in the Upper Room and the beginning of the early Church.
In this special ministry update, Rabbi Zev Porat reports that the Holy Spirit is
descending on Jerusalem and into the hearts of many Jewish people hungry
for the Word of God and who are coming to know the true Messiah-Yeshua!
Please pray for brother Zev as he witnesses the Good News of the Gospel
on the streets of Jerusalem, and for the salvation of Israel!
Maranatha!
"O LORD, do not withhold Your mercy from me: Your loving devotion
and faithfulness will always guard me."
(Psalm 40:11)
Thy tender mercies, O my Lord,
Withhold not, I implore;
But let Thy kindness and Thy truth
Preserve me evermore.
For countless ills have compassed me,
My sinful deeds arise;
Yea, they have overtaken me;
I dare not raise my eyes.
My sins are more than I can count,
My heart has failed for grief;
Be pleased, O Lord, to rescue me,
O haste to my relief.
Be those who seek to hurt my soul
Dismayed and put to flight,
And they themselves be put to shame
Who in my woe delight.
Let all who seek Thee now rejoice,
Yea, glad in Thee abide,
And, loving Thy salvation, say,
The Lord be magnified,
My lowly state and bitter need
The Lord has not forgot;
Thou art my Savior and my help,
Come Lord, and tarry not.
"Thy Tender Mercies, O My Lord"

Lyrics from "The Psalter"
United Presbyterian Board of Publication

“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you..."
(Jeremiah 1:5)
“a fetus shall have no independent rights under the laws of this state.”
Thank God someone had the sense to reconsider and to remove this inhumane provision
which sounds a lot like a decree which might have been implemented in the days of
Nazi Germany. And yet, what is the difference between the mindset of 21st century
lawmakers declaring that an unborn baby has no rights and therefore can be terminated
in the womb in New Jersey, and members of the Gestapo who would rip little Jewish
babies from their mothers' arms and toss them alive into the ovens at Auschwitz?
In the eyes of the most holy and righteous God there is no difference.
Murder is the deliberate and willful act of taking human life, and couching the hideous
practice of infanticide in political language as "reproductive healthcare" does not change
the fact that our legislators are as guilty of shedding innocent blood as the abortionists
doing the dirty work for them-at the expense of the already overburdened NJ taxpayers.
The 6th Commandment attests: "You shall not commit murder." (Exodus 20:13)
God further declares, "Keep far from a false matter and be very careful not
to condemn to death the innocent and the righteous, for I will not justify
nor acquit the wicked." (Exodus 23:7)
Unlike disingenuous legislators masking their true intentions in political words
and phrases, God does not lie. He does not change. I often contemplate, with an
increasing sense of trepidation, how much longer the good Lord is going to hold
back His wrath and judgment on America, which He has blessed and been so very
gracious to in the past, a nation which claims to believe in personal liberty and
justice for all, and yet condones the murder of babies in the womb.
Living souls made in the likeness and image of God Himself.
Will the Lord, in His infinite wisdom, give America more time to seek
His mercy and forgiveness for this most grievous sin? Or will our fast
approaching 250th birthday as a nation be the last one that we will see?
