My 20-year journey in New Ageism started with ‘I can attract whatever I want into my life’ but eventually led me to total spiritual exhaustion.

Is the Birth of Jesus Based on the Legends of Caesar? Similarities between the stories raise surprising parallels and striking differences.

I grew up in a religious Jewish home. But I considered God too distant and holy to be personally known until I learned about Messiah Jesus.

God wants us to experience the kind of trust and intimacy with Him that He intended married couples to share with one another.

Judaism today is a bit different than what God established in ancient Israel. High Holiday practices are a perfect example of what’s changed.

A miracle on the Feast of Tabernacles and how the Jewish holiday points to great joy for the future.

If you’re Jewish, maybe you’ve heard that some Christians believe your covenant with God is no longer valid. Where did these claims come from? 

Everyone seems to have a different idea of what sin means, but the Bible gives us a singular understanding that applies to all times and cultures.

I wanted to know the God my grandpa Singer prayed to. I was fascinated by Jesus and asked God to give me a sign if he was who I’d been searching for.

I was amazed to see Israelis believing that Jesus is the Messiah. I was intrigued by the love they had for the needy and the community around them.

I read the gospels in the New Testament for the first time. I was dumbfounded to see so much familiarity in it and just how Jewish it was.

I slowly began to realize that I was set apart as one of God’s children, and I wouldn’t find my identity in anything the world had to offer.

Despite the common misperception, Jesus was Jewish—a first-century rabbi from Israel who challenged his people to turn to the God of their fathers.

The ancient Hebrew concept of peace means wholeness, completeness, health, safety, and prosperity. God created humanity for this kind of flourishing.

Pentecost is widely celebrated by Christians, but it was originally a Jewish festival called Shavuot recalling the giving of the law in Exodus.

There are thriving groups of Messianic Jewish people all over the world. What do they believe, and how do they practice those beliefs?

I’m a person of faith but don’t observe much of rabbinic tradition. So, how can non-observant Jews like me celebrate the giving of the Law on Shavuot?

The Hebrew text of Exodus says that we saw the voice of God at Sinai. Rabbis interpret this visual manifestation as God’s words dividing into 70 langu...

Ruth is a mold-breaker. Her society was full of boxes, and she broke pretty much every box that can be broken without engaging in immorality.

Taking a deeper look at the meaning of the food eaten on Shavuot, we find a symbolic showcase of God’s promises to the Israelites—and to us today.

The joyful festival of Shavuot connected the people with their land, with each other, and with God as they made their pilgrimage to Jerusalem.

The Passover elements symbolize God’s character and have formed Jewish identity for generations by retelling the story of our liberation from Egypt.

I was surrounded by believers, but I kept reminding myself that so many Jews were killed in the Holocaust. I couldn’t betray my upbringing.

There are many reasons why the majority of Jewish people don’t recognize Jesus as Messiah—some are cultural, some historical, and some religious.
