So far in our study of the Hear O Israel prayer (otherwise called the Shema), we've discovered that the prayer is relevant both in the Jewish religion and the Christian faith. We saw clearly in Mark 12 that Yeshua referred to the prayer as the greatest commandment. In this blog, we'll be exploring another exciting aspect of the Hear O Israel prayer: how it points to the Great Commission as recorded in Matthew 28:18. But before we do that, let's briefly examine the theological link between the Old Testament books ...

In our last post – Yeshua t shirt and Isaiah 61:10, we examined Isaiah's prophecy about how God would redeem and clothe us with a garment of salvation. Today, we are grateful to God for fulfilling that promise through Yeshua, His beloved Son. We also said that as believers, we should be eager to exhibit this glorious work of redemption by wearing imprinted Christian clothes like the Yeshua t shirt.

As you'd expect, we were all shocked to hear that. Of course, we all knew his ...

In the previous article – Yeshua t shirt and Romans 1:16, we began a series on how to use Christian clothes as a tool in evangelism. From Romans 16, we saw the need for us to be unashamed of preaching the Gospel. I understand that the negativity towards the Christian faith in Israel is discouraging. But you see, we should not allow that to come between us and the work God has committed to our hands. Paul's commitment to God's work, even in hardship, should motivate us. The Apostle Paul ...

Preaching the Gospel in public can sometimes be tricky. In most cases, you are nervous to start the conversation. Even when you finally summon the courage to start a discussion, you are unsure of how to go about it without being pushy. Growing in my faith, I've found out that wearing a Yeshua t shirt can make that process a whole lot easier. In the next few weeks, we'll be having a series of blogs, four in all, on how to use imprinted t-shirts in evangelism. I've shared some thoughts ...
