WORD STUDY – A SONG OF VICTORY – זמר
Psalms 118:14: “The Lord is my strength and song and is become my salvation.” I remember years ago we used to sing a little chorus based upon this verse. I remember my spirit was always quickened when I heard the words the Lord is my song. Until now, I never...
WORD STUDY – THE LETTER PEI – פ

WORD STUDY – GREAT HEARTFELT REJOICING – שׁשׁ

Matthew 27:46: “And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying ‘Eli, Eli Lama Sabachthani?’ that is My God My God, why has thou forsaken me?” Yesterday I gave one possible rendering to this baffling phrase that Jesus was not calling...
WORD STUDY – ELI ELI LAMA SABACHTHANI PART I – איל איל למנא שׁבקתני
Matthew 27:46: “And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying ‘Eli, Eli Lama Sabachthani?’ that is My God My God, why has thou forsaken me?” This being Easter Weekend, my study partner insisted I present a study for Easter. There is really...
WORD STUDY: LET THIS CUP PASS FROM ME – הכא כסא נעברני
Matthew 26:39: “And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.” We are now approaching the Easter holiday weekend and I am...
WORD STUDY – HE WILL NOT SLUMBER אלינומ
Psalms 121:3: “Behold, he that keeps Israel neither slumbers nor sleeps.” Many years ago when I taught school in Arlington, Virginia , which bordered Washington D.C., I took a room in a house with three other borders. One was an engineer working on the...
