The Bible Gave Me a Gentle Nudge 3/3 – Humility (or The big Paradox of Salvation)
Posted Jan 7, 2022 Yahusha said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. (John 14:5-6) Yahusha came to set the captives free from sin, to minister that real worship to the Father came from the heart and not exclusively from following rules…

The Book of Eli (2010) Explained – A spiritual Point of View
Posted Jan 4, 2022 This great movie starring Denzel Washington, Mila Kunis and Gary Oldman has two aspects I am really into lately: spirituality and post-apocalyptic scenarios. At first sight this may seem another boring dystopian movie, but it’s surprisingly a very deep and emotional story about faith and the power and glory of Yahuah…

Do You Want to Know What’s Happening? Skip the News and Watch Movies! Stephen King Edition – II
Posted Jan 3, 2022 Carrie (1976) A classic! I personally find this movie quite well done and full of interesting symbolism. This is the kind of movie that does not need neither a sequel nor a remake, yet sadly we have both! Carrie is the story of Carrie White, an awkward teenager who starts developing…

New Year! Our Renovated Hope in the Future. But Is It Real?
Posted Jan 2, 2022 New Year’s eve in South American countries can be quite exhausting. One must make sure to spend new year’s transition wearing new clothes. Depending on the color, this is how your year will be. White means peace, red is for passion, pink for love, yellow is for money. Very important is…

Posted Dec 29, 2021 This is one of the most cryptic movies I have ever seen and this review is going to be long, for each scene of this movie is so crammed with information! Sadly, I only came to watch it recently, meaning 20 years too late. The flick was released on Jan 19th…

A Reflection on Christmas and Why I Will Never Celebrate it Again
Posted Dec 24, 2021 Thus you also have those who hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate. Repent, or else I will come to you quickly and will fight against them with the sword of My mouth. (Revelation 2:15-16) When the first ‘woke’ people started refusing to say ‘Merry Christmas’ to be…

Let’s Admit it: We Are All Sheep – So Who is Your Shepherd?
Posted Dec 23, 2021 For those like me who grew up in the city, being in contact with livestock animals is not so common. Having moved to the outskirts recently has given me the opportunity to watch the interesting behavior of all sorts of farm animals. They all have a different ‘collective personality’. Cows, for…

TV Series to Watch With Full Attention (and after an ‘our Father’ Prayer)
Posted Dec 15, 2021 Movies and series are not entertainment. They should be used as a source of research and to make us aware. If you sit through a series like Squid Game to relax, you’re doing it wrong! The ‘elites’, the ‘masters of the world’ are constantly bombarding us with their plans and those…

The Bible Gave me a Gentle Nudge – Submission (2/3)
Posted Dec 14, 2021 Submission – the joy of relying on the rightful Master When we read the Word of the Father from Genesis to Revelation, there is a strong message for us: SUBMIT. This word carries a negative meaning nowadays, doesn’t it? It’s uncomfortable to say it or to feel it. We are raised…

Biblical Stories in Movies – a Personal Grumpy Review
Posted Dec 7, 2021 Watching television (and that includes the likes of Netflix), is a dangerous waste of time. All movies and series are made to create opinions, desensitize us to what’s coming or simply influence/program us somehow, so we must be very attentive of what we watch. Nevertheless, there are two genres of movies/series…

The Bible Gave Me a Gentle Nudge – Patience (1/3)
Posted Dec 5, 2021 There are countless lessons to inspire us in the Bible and while I think no human has the capacity to fully understand the Scriptures in all its complexity, by the time I finished reading the Bible, three words came to my mind: Patience, submission and humility. Let’s start with the first…

Shabbat Lessons – Faith is Not For Those Who Need to See
Posted Dec 1, 2021 One of my walking circuits is along the beautiful corn fields – usually accompanied by wild deer and eagles. It’s always very quiet, except for the people riding horses and the farm tractors. Another constant companion are the airplanes in the sky, for I live close to an airport. However, on…

The 10 Commandments Still Matter – Now More Than Ever (9/10)
Posted Nov 29, 2021 9 – You shall not give false witness It’s common to see in movies when a witness takes a stand in a courtroom, that they’re asked to swear to tell the truth with their hands on a Bible. The idea behind the ‘swear to God’ thing is that once you place…
