You're the STAR - Week#5 EXTRA (June 2025)

My mother-in-law began her heavenly life a few days ago.  John MacArthur said:  "Scripture repeatedly makes clear that heaven is a realm of unsurpassed joy, unfading glory, undiminished bliss, unlimited delights and unending pleasures."

The Truth About Christian Zionism

The Truth About Christian Zionism

The topic for today's study is another controversial one but we can NOT ignore certain important topics just because it might be uncomfortable.

The format for today's post is also a little different - I am featuring a video by "Halal Hogan" (see near the end of this post) and we will be detailing everything he says in this video.

Halal Hogan was a Muslim comedian who converted to Christianity.  In this video he is explaining (using Scripture) why Israel is not the "chosen people."  Which then brings me to my disclaimer:

I have not, am not and will never condone, encourage or participate in any kind of hate or violence towards any person or group of people.

Feel free to press "play" on the video and then follow along by reading this post simultaneously.

The Scripture below is called "Parable of the Wicked Vinedressers" NKJV or "The Parable of the Tenants" NIV

In that parable the:

- Vineyard represents Israel

- Tenants represent Rulers

- The Son represents Jesus

- Landowner represents God the Father

Jesus is saying to the Jews that when they kill Him, the Kingdom of God will be taken away from them.

In the passage above the "Subjects of the kingdom" represent the Jews.  And the non-Jews (including the Roman soldier), who have faith in Jesus will eat with Abraham, Isaac & Jacob in God's kingdom.

In the series that I am doing on "The Tribes of Israel" (part#3) we touched on something similar - God will "disregard" the Jews for breaking the covenant by falling away and sacrificing to idols (click HERE to read "God's Covenant with Abraham").

 In this passage from Romans the noncircumcised represent the Gentiles and the circumcised represent the Jews.  A "True Jew" is someone who follows Jesus Christ and the "Fake Jews" are the Jews who reject Jesus.

The Scripture below is about "Hagar & Sarah".  The two women in these verses represent 2 covenants.  Hagar represents the old covenant and bears children who will be slaves.  Whereas, Sarah's child is the promise God gave Abraham (a child born by the power of the Holy Spirit).

Both in Hebrews and Revelation (seen below), we learn that the Heavenly Jerusalem is the city of the Living God.  Also, we learn that God will dwell with us when New Jerusalem comes down.

Finally, both passages from Galatians (seen above) show us that we are the true offspring of Abraham through faith in Jesus Christ. 

A special thanks to "Demon Erasers" for sharing this on YouTube

We are all one in Christ through faith, therefore we are Abraham's seed and heirs.

Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp RECIPE with Homemade Strawberry Ice Cream

Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp

(with Homemade Strawberry Ice Cream)

We are nearing the end of strawberry season and I am so thankful that it was an abundant one!

I have shared many "Crisps" in the past but today I will be sharing my "Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp" and this might become your favorite also. 

Printable Recipe

1 cup rhubarb (chop ends off, rinse & cube)

2 cups garden fresh strawberries (rinsed, hulled and sliced)

2/3 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup flour

1/2 cup oatmeal (I used old fashioned rolled oats)

1/3 cup salted butter (melted and cooled to warm)

1 teaspoon cinnamon

2 teaspoons lemon juice

(a pinch of salt if you used unsalted butter above)

 

Begin by preparing the fruit as described above, drizzle lemon juice on top and set aside until later. (see picture above also)

Spray or butter a square glass Pyrex baking dish.  Pour the prepared fruit in the bottom of the sprayed baking dish and spread around evenly. (see picture below)

In a different mixing bowl combine the brown sugar, flour, oatmeal, cinnamon, and salt - stir until combined.  Now stir in the melted butter and you will notice the mixture to be a little clumpy (see picture below). 

Cover the fruit with the oatmeal mixture.  Bake in a preheated 375 degree oven for about 30 minutes (or until desired golden brown color is achieved)

 Remove from the oven and cool on a rack (see picture below).

Serve warm or completely cooled - whatever you prefer.

Top with homemade strawberry ice cream (click HERE to view "Garden Fresh Strawberry Ice Cream RECIPE")

Serve & ENJOY!
