Can Christians Wear the Tzitzitot?

Have you ever felt drawn to wear the Tzitzitot? I started understanding their importance when I began incorporating the Tallit into my prayer life. In this video, I explain some of my thoughts on the subject!
 

Numbers 15:37-41: (Maftir) 37 Adonai said to Moshe, 38 “Speak to the people of Isra’el, instructing them to make, through all their generations, tzitziyot on the corners of their garments, and to put with the tzitzit on each corner a blue thread. 39 It is to be a tzitzit for you to look at and thereby remember all of Adonai’s mitzvot and obey them, so that you won’t go around wherever your own heart and eyes lead you to prostitute yourselves; 40 but it will help you remember and obey all my mitzvot and be holy for your God. 41 I am Adonai your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt in order to be your God. I am Adonai your God.”

Haftarah Shlach L’kha: Y’hoshua (Joshua) 2:1–24

B’rit Hadashah suggested reading for Parashah Shlach L’kha: Messianic Jews (Hebrews) 3:7–19

Purim 2023: G-d's Faithfulness to His Chosen People

On March 6th and 7th 2023, the Jewish people will celebrate  Purim or The Feast of Lots . It is a triumphant time which symbolizes G-d's faithfulness to the protection and prosperity of the Jewish people. For us as gentiles, it is a wonderful time to acknowledge the Jewish communities "chosenness" as the apple of G-d's eye, and by extension, anyone born again as a Christian can partake in this "chosenness". "What Purim reaffirms to Christians and Jews alike is the fact that the everyday life is infused with G-d's presence and is under His control" ( One For Israel ). A Simple Summary of Esther (The Purim Story) King Ahasuerus whose kingdom stretched from India to Ethiopia (ancient Persia) threw a party to celebrate and acknowledge his reign and success. First, he threw a 180-day party with representatives from all 127 of the regions under his control, and after that, he threw a week-long party just for residents from his capital city of Shusha

Replacement Theology: The "Jewish Problem" in Modern Christianity

If we want to be serious followers of Jesus (Yeshua), we must be serious followers of His word. If we look at what His word calls of us, we (as modern Christians) have a major problem,  a Jewish problem.  Our 21st-century church's trend in abandoning her recognition and responsibility toward Israel is leading to many Christians replacing it with Western and secularized philosophies. Many Christians no longer believe that Israel and the Jewish people hold any significance in our walk with God.

Shalom! This is a plea to my fellow Christians. We need to remember the precious Jewish people… Ephesians 3:6 (NMV):   That the Goyim [Gentiles] should be fellow heirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Moshiach [Messiah] by the Gospel (joyful message) When we gift a scripture to a Jew, we honor the legacy of our spiritual ancestors who paved the way for our spiritual growth. It is an acknowledgment of the debt of gratitude we owe to the Jewish people for preserving the teachings of the Old Testament and passing them down through generations.
