“Grandpa Sereno: "There is nothing as dangerous as fear, fear of people who are different than you.
Fear is the REAL danger and we must start to put all our efforts into fighting THAT instead of each other. Fight fear not people!!!
Let there be light!”

“We must not become so overly obsessed with the minute details of the Torah that we neglect the more important parts. However, we also must not say that the “less important” parts of the Torah aren’t important at all. God forbid! While we certainly must emphasize the weightier matters of the Torah, at the same time we must not invalidate the lighter matters”
― David Wilber, When Faith Works: Living Out the Law of Liberty According to James

“Shimmel: “NEVER TRUST THE GOYIM. They are just like these other weird dangerous people, Messianic Jews! How dare Jews become “Christian-like”, Messianic? We should cherem (ban) them from every aspect of Jewish life. And we must strip them of every Jewish privilege!”
― Rabbi Sipporah Joseph, Teacher of Counsel

“Proper Torah observance must flow from a heart of love for our neighbor. If we claim to be Torah observant but neglect matters of justice, mercy, and faithfulness, then we are not truly Torah observant.”

“Not all that long ago, I was in a room with Jewish and Gentile leaders in the larger body of Jesus-followers. The horror of the Holocaust was being discussed, and one of the Gentile pastors looked over at one of my Jewish friends and remarked almost casually,
"Next time we'll stand with you."
Almost reflexively, as if responding from lifelong pain and betrayal, my Jewish friend blurted out,
"I don't believe you!"
I think he was shocked at his own words, but added,
"That has never been the case in history."
I was heavily impacted by the encounter. Somewhere it was stored in the inner recesses of my soul, so that on another occasion, following a showing of films from the Holocaust, I turned to this same Jewish friend and said, under a Holy Spirit anointing and with tears streaming down my cheeks,
"I vow to you in the name of Yeshua, that I will stand with you even to death."
His response?
"I believe you, Don."
My prayer for all of us is that we establish such deep friendships across these turbulent ancient "racial" lines, so that even among Jewish people who are not believers in Yeshua, we Gentiles will become the Corrie ten Booms and the Oskar Schindlers of our time.”
― Don Finto, Your People Shall Be My People

“For I am not ashamed of the Gospel, because it is the power of God for salvation for everyone who believes, Jewish first and then Greek. (Romans 1:16 - ONM)

To the Jew first. What an incredible yet controversial proposition. To some, Israel is a political argument centred on the issue of land acquisition and misdemeanours against other nations. On the other hand, some perceive Israel as a religious representation of all things that are opposed to things biblical (under the law and not under grace...and all that), both camps missing the point completely.”
― Valton Brown, The Hidden Tree
