Stand somewhere out in creation long enough – away from the fabrications and noise of “civilization” – and you can feel it — that what you’re looking at is pointing past itself, to something just beyond where our eyes can reach. You’re not imagining it. The invisible, Paul wrote, has been “clearly seen… through the things that have been made,” since the beginning of the world.

The Bible works the same way. Its feasts and holy days, the tabernacle, the priesthood, are things made to be looked through — not a rulebook to master, but a lens to see by.

I’ve spent most of a lifetime — over six decades now — learning HOW to look. What I’ve seen has changed me, and not as a mere intellectual endeavor. I can’t hand it to you, and no one can walk your road for you. But I can show you where and how I’ve been looking. Come and see for yourself. If something here rings true, look closer. If it doesn’t, no harm done.

What “Make Christ Your Aim” means

The old word we translate as “law” — Torah — comes from an archer’s word: to aim. The law was never mainly a list of rules to obey. It was always aiming — pointing — at one thing: Christ. To “fulfill” it was to have it ACCOMPLISHED in the life of Jesus, and initially in God’s ecclesia, and eventually the entire world.

So the “law” isn’t just a list of rules to perform. It’s a realization, a discovery, a return, a direction to face.

Everything’s Connected

This isn’t just a marketing tagline. It is the real understanding of an APPROACH to The Bible that this entire site is grounded upon – a WAY to SEE, a WAY to HEAR, a WAY to LIVE – a WAY that changes us from the inside out.

…we know that when he appears we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he is. 1 John 3:2 ESV

From Puzzle Pieces to The Picture of Jesus Christ

Posted on
The Bible can feel like a table full of dumped puzzle pieces — scattered, mixed up, and salted with fake pieces we mistake for real ones. So how does anyone ever see the picture? And what is the picture? It has a name.

A Danger of Knowledge

Posted on
I catch myself reaching for the verse, the correction — the thing I know that they apparently don’t. A look at the danger Paul names: knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.

Nowhere on That Spectrum

Posted on
Both sides of the Law-vs-Grace debate think I agree with them. Neither can see what is only observable from a different perspective.

Through What Lens Do We View the Feasts?

Posted on
There’s more than one way to look at God’s feasts — and most of us never notice we’ve already chosen one. Change the lens, and what looked like rules and a calendar starts pointing somewhere.
