Before 2020 I did a lot of traveling to speak, but once the pandemic blocked travel and zoom was invented, many of my speaking invitations have been online now. Podcasts have become a big part of my life too. Personally, I listen to a lot of podcasts while I’m washing dishes or taking a walk. […]
Two Talks on the Bible from an Insider’s Perspective
Remember in Genesis 15 when Abraham sacrificed animals to make a blood path to cut a covenant with God? You might think that you’d need to go back three thousand years to see this scene, but Rev. Dr. Milly Erema saw her family make covenants this way when she was a kid. Her traditional culture […]
The Hebraic Hymns of Advent and Christmas
Right now, the season of Advent is upon us, and it’s one of my favorites. Our hymns have a much more Hebraic focus than the rest of the year. They are full of rich prophecies about God’s promises to redeem Israel, and through them bring redemption to the world. Listen to these lines from O […]

Dr. Milly Erema is currently visiting the USA until November 29. While she is here, she and I will be giving talks in churches in Western Michigan. We have already given a two-week seminar at Pillar Church in Holland, Michigan called, “The Bible from an Insider’s Perspective.”
Two Perspectives on the Gaza Conflict from Heroic Friends in Israel
I’m writing this just over a week after the galling attack on Israel by Hamas terrorists from Gaza. Many ask me if I have friends in Israel who I am praying for – absolutely! Others ask me if I have an opinion on the conflict. Obviously I see it as a sickening act of terrorism […]
An Hour with Lois to Pick her Brain
Just today I had a lovely zoom conversation with a woman who wanted to talk through some difficult issues with me – tough biblical passages, what are Christians supposed to do with observing the Torah, etc, etc. She wrote me an email asking if she could talk to me for an hour, and insisted on […]

Oh the Joy of Being a Refuge from Gale Storms!
I recently posted a reflection on Isaiah 32, which reveals a gorgeous vision of what Christ’s messianic kingdom will be like. Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, And ministers shall govern with justice; Every one of them shall be like a refuge from gales, A shelter from rainstorms; Like brooks of water in a […]
Advent: When Isaiah Explains the Words of Jesus
Advent is my favorite time of year because this is the one time that Christians read our Bible Hebraically, like the early church did. We open our Bible to the Old Testament and read it looking for God’s ancient promises and how they would finally come true in the Messianic age, in the coming of […]
