At 18:08 local time on August 4, an apocalyptic explosion mushroomed over the Port of Beirut, Lebanon’s capital. The official explanation for the cause of the blast is that the port’s Warehouse #9 (chock full of Chinese fireworks) somehow had caught fire and that within minutes the blaze jumped across to Warehouse #12, where 2,750 tons […]

Lyrics in Hebrew and English:
מילים: בית א: אֵין לְעוֹלָם הַזֶּה דָּבָר אֶחָד לְהַצִּיעַ שֶׁיִּשְׁתַּוֶּה לְמַה שֶׁאַתָּה כְּבָר נָתַתָּ הַסְּלִיחָה, הַשָּׁלוֹם וְהָאֹשֶׁר מְמַלְּאִים אֶת חַיַּי הַחֲשָׁשׁ כְּבָר בָּרַח וְהַפַּחַד לֹא שׁוֹלֵט עוֹד עָלַי מִכָּל הַמְּקוֹמוֹת הַיָּפִים בָּעוֹלָם מָצָאתִי שֶׁאִתְּךָ אֵרְצֵהּ לִחְיוֹת לְעוֹלָם בַּצָּפוֹן, בַּדָּרוֹם, לֹא מְשַׁנֶּה לִי, כָּל עוֹד אֲנִי לְצִדְּךָ עִם הַרְבֵּה אוֹ מְעַט לֹא אִכְפַּת לִי, אֶשָּׁעֵן עָלֶיךָ גשר: לֹא חָסֵר לִי דְּבַר הַלְלוּיָהּ, לֹא צָרִיךְ לְחַפֵּשׂ הַלְלוּיָהּ לֹא שׁוֹלֵט בִּי הַחֵטְא הַלְלוּיָהּ, אָז אָשִׁיר מֵהַלֵּב – דַּי לִי לִהְיוֹת בִּנְךָ פזמון: דַּי לִי, דַּי לִי לִהְיוֹת בִּנְךָ דַּי לִי, דַּי לִי לִהְיוֹת שֶׁלְּךָ לֹא רוֹצֶה זָהָב, לֹא רוֹצֶה כָּבוֹד אֲוַתֵּר עַל כָּל, רַק לְהִקָּרֵא בִּנְךָ בית ב: שִׁנִּיתָ אֶת הַכֹּל, שִׁנִּיתָ גַּם אֶת שְׁמִי הָפַכְתָּ לִהְיוֹת אַבָּא עֲבוּרִי לֹא יָתוֹם, לֹא אָבוּד וְלֹא עֶבֶד, חָפְשִׁי כְּצִפּוֹר אֲנִי מֵת כְּבָר לְחַטֵּא, שׁוּב נוֹלַדְתִּי, נָקִי כְּתִינוֹק Lyrics: Verse1: The world has nothing to offer that compares to what You’ve already given Forgiveness, peace and joy fill my life Worry has fled And fear doesn’t control me anymore Out of all the beautiful places on earth I’ve found that with You is where I want to live forever In the north, in the south, it doesn’t matter As long as I’m with You With plenty or little, I don’t care, I’ll lean on You Bridge: I lack nothing Hallelujah! I don’t need to search anymore Hallelujah! Sin doesn’t control me anymore, Hallelujah! So I will sing from my heart – It’s enough to be Your son! Chorus: (It’s enough for me, enough for me to be Your son (It’s enough for me, enough for me to be Yours (I don’t want gold, I don’t want fame (I’ll give up much more, just to be called Your son Verse2: You’ve changed everything, You’ve changed my name You’ve became a father for me No longer an orphan, neither lost, nor a slave But free as a bird I’m dead to sin and born again, clean as a baby
Fantastic work, Shilo!

Shalom friends,
We’ve added some fresh new Israeli Messianic music to Chavah for your holy pleasure.
Joshua Aaron – Live at the Tower of David
Joshua Aaron, of course, needs no introduction. His music is some of the highest ranked on Chavah, and his songs are played throughout Messianic congregations around the world.
This new album is recorded live within the old city walls of Jerusalem, and features Aaron Shust, Chief Joseph RiverWind, Jamie Hilsden, Yaron Cherniak; some of Israel’s finest musicians and worshipers. I think you fine Chavah fans will greatly enjoy.
Thanks to Joshua Aaron for granting us permission to play his music on Chavah. You can support Joshua Aaron by donating to Messiah’s Music Fund . Enjoy!
Right after Israel’s First Gulf War in 1991 our family moved to California for a brief season. Our two oldest kids attended a mostly Black Lutheran primary school in Long Beach. Our sons would bring home Bible-themed drawings from school that they had made. I immediately noticed that the Jesus they drew was Black. That […]

Shalom friends,
Messiah’s Music Fund got started back in June when you all donated $310 to Messiah’s musicians on Chavah.
As July comes to a close, I’m glad to report that monthly donations increased: You donated $363 to Messiah’s Music Fund in July. 💖 Thank you, Chavah listeners!
In the 2 months since we created this fund, together we’ve raised $673 for Messiah’s musicians. “Do not despise small beginnings, for the Lord delights to see the work begin.” What a tangible blessing for the artists on Chavah!
As a reminder, how much we send to each artist is a simple formula:
total donations * artist plays / total plays
In a nutshell, the more an artist’s songs play on Chavah, the larger the donation the artist will receive. Want to increase that amount? Donate to Messiah’s Music Fund and up-vote his or her music on Chavah, as higher-ranked songs play more often.
Here are the raw figures for July’s disbursement from Messiah’s Music Fund:

If you have never seen a summary of a debate, Wintery Knight has some excellent resources on the topic. Here is one of his reviews of a debate between William Lane Crag and Alex Rosenberg.
Apologetics is a branch of Christian theology that helps give reasons for the truthfulness of the Christian faith/worldview. The word “Apologia” means “to give reasons, make a legal defense” (Acts 26:2; 2 Tim. 4:16; 1 Pet 3:15). Throughout Acts, Luke… Continue reading →
