Wow, such a great post my friend.
ReplyDeleteAwesome post. Off topic--but I was reading your list on Rachelle's blog, and I was wondering if you were Jewish? We worship in a Messianic church (observing Jewish traditions in light of the Yeshua as the Messiah). Just wondered!
ReplyDeleteRachel, my heart is very Jewish because my Lord is Jewish and I want to be as much like Him as I can. But as far as I know the blood of Jesus Yeshua is the only Jewish blood I've got.
ReplyDeleteWhen I'm back home in Denver I worship with a Messianic congregation, Yeshuat Tsion. I'd love nothing more than to have a local Messianic congregation, but the Lord hasn't opened that door for me.
