Our little show in Exeter, a seminar and an interview on youth radio. It's been a busy couple of days!
Have you joined our Worldwide weekly Bible Study based on the Hebraic background to Jesus and The Gospels yet? Click here ...
Here are the questions for this month, as answered by our wonderful panel of "messianic rabbis".
(If you have a question you would like answered, send it to steve@saltshakers.com )
If you are Jewish and new to all this, go here first.
If you are Christian and think we're weird, go here first.
If you are Messianic and need to know where we stand, go here first.
Shalom and welcome to
Saltshakers. We are both one
of the oldest and newest
messianic websites. Although
we began in 1996, we have
been dormant for many
years, waiting for the right
moment.
We now believe our time has
come, a time to get serious
with One New Man, as a
true expression of both its
Jewish and Gentile elements.
It is time to get Biblical, really
Biblical - not cultural,
"prophetic" or subjective. To
our eyes much of the "Hebrew
Roots" movement has been
hijacked since we have been
away, some elements have
even been called "cultish".
If you feel called to explore
the Hebrew Roots of the faith
in the Lord Jesus Christ, in the
spirit of One New Man - Jew
and Gentile - then please join
us on our journey. All that we
ask of you as an individual is
to learn to love and respect
your identity in the Body of
Christ. If you're born a Gentile,
then that's what you are. If
you're born a Jew, then you're
still a Jew. As far as what your
role is in the Body, that is
something that we can
discover together.
To fully enter into the spirit of
this website we ask you to
read two books, one
compulsory, the other
optional. First read the Book
of Ephesians in one go - it
will only take an hour or so
- and get a feel for what
Paul is talking about in One
New Man (Chapter 2). Read
it, pray about it and meditate
on it.
Secondly, there is the book,
"How the Church lost The
Way ... and how it can find
it again". It's a book that
really analyses what's gone
wrong with the Church and
how a knowledge of the
Hebrew Roots can put things
right. It's not an attack on
the Church, but it's a book
that every Christian leader
should read. It's the book
that is already challenging
the UK Church, for those who
have ears to hear. Hey, even
the Queen of England has a
copy!

Tree of Life weekly Sermon - Paul Calvert
What a joy and what an encouragement !! May this young man and his team continue to be richly blessed in their work. He is so right to want to give music to the young people in a way that they can understand and appreciate, with lyrics that we can all support. Good old Shakespeare, whose literature I have always loved - but then I am from another age - knew the value of music, in his well known phrase : If music be the food of love - play on ! Music is a language that can be shared by all. I chuckled at his story about the rat, with great empathy. I have a terror of rats and mice, and tend to freeze on the spot. During WW2, one of the places where I stayed after the loss of my own home was with a friend and her family on the south coast.The city was going through heavy bombing, and her father insisted we go into the basement shelter the minute the siren sounded.One night as we settled down there, a mouse scuttled across the floor and that finished it for me - I felt I would rather take my chance at the top of the house than stay down there! Crazy how we can have these phobias - a tiny little mouse and I was terrified ! Every blessing to you, Paul, I share in all your prayers - and praise the Lord for your lovely sense of humour. What good things our Father God has provided for his children - all praise and Glory be to the King of Kings as His Kingdom slowly but surely comes in.
