“We Are in the People Business . . .”
I first heard these words in Dallas, Texas, while I was attending Bible college when one of my favorite professors, the former Dr. Eric Belcher, sounded this advice to his students. Over the years I’ve come to realize that these words were and remain to be some of the best words of advice that I’ve…

Becky’s Bat-Mitzvah
To All Our Family and Friends, It’s hard to believe that almost 12 years ago (Nov. 6, 1996), Jennie was about to give birth to a beautiful baby girl. In doing so, we named her Rebekah Orel Bernal meaning: to tie or noose; the light of God; strong as a bear. We’ll, over the years…

Yeshua: The Alef and Tav, (Part 1)
In one of my previous blogs "The Time is Short" I spent a considerable amount of time looking at the first sentence in the Torah, Genesis (Bereshit) 1:1. I also related that when John (Yohanan) the Apostle was exiled to the Island of Patmos for his faith, it is there where Yeshua revealed himself in…
