Roots of Faith

I recently attended a conference in Charlotte and gave two talks, titled (1) Hear and (2) Do.

In these two talks I attempt to lay out my vision for a revival of Torah Faith.

In the first class (HEAR), I begin with the Shema - the foundational confession of Biblical Faith.  As a special guest, my friend and brother John Carlson played his “Shema Song”.

In the second class I further develop the vision by speaking of what precisely we should DO.  I cover 9 passages from the book of Deuteronomy that mention things that we should DO with all of our heart and all of our soul.

Finally, I sum up the Torah “while standing on one foot”.

You will not want to miss this two part series.

Thanks for taking the time to listen.  Visit www.rootsoffaith.org and let us know what you think of the teaching.

Shalom, Ross

I have been invited to speak on the subject of the restoration of Temple Sinai synagogue. The talk will be on November 7th at 6:30 PM in Jackson Hall in St. Francisville.  For more information, please contact me through my web site.

Tom Temple, a friend of mine, recently asked me to speak to his group on Saturday, November 4th at 7:30 AM.  The subject of the talk is the New Testament translation of Mr. Robert Bordelon.  Several years ago, I met with Mr. Bordelon after his grandson informed me that his grandfather had translated the New Testament from the Greek texts and that the translation had remained in composition notebooks since the late 70s.

I agreed to type this translation and embarked upon a great learning experience.  The translation is completed, but the story of its publication is still being written.  If you are interested in hearing the story, contact me through my web site.

On October 1st, I travelled to Tangipahoa Baptist Church for a special service at the request of the pastor and his wife (Greg and Paula Stewart).  I taught on the significance of Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement).  The service went well.  I want to write more about this particular service at a later time, but wanted to put this brief summary up at this point.
