Kol Tzion (קוֹל צִיּוֹן)

Shalom, and welcome back to Kol Tzion. We live in a world governed by ink and stone - contracts, codes of conduct, and legal decrees that dictate our every move. For many, the word "Law" carries a heavy weight, a sense of restriction. We often think of "law" as a list of rules written down for us to follow, often with dread. But have you ever considered that the very existence of a written law is evidence of something lost? Imagine a reality where morality wasn't a set of instructions you had to study, but something we felt ?. There was once a time when the Law wasn't an external force, but an internal nature. Think about the way you breathe. You don’t wake up and check a manual to remind your lungs to expand. You don't set an alarm to tell your heart to beat. It’s just... you . It’s natural. It’s built-in. But when it comes to "the Law," many of us feel like we’re lugging around a heavy textbook of rules. We feel like we’re being watched, wait...

Shalom Mishpacha, let’s be real about what’s happening in our streets and our congregations. We see the sisters that are hardworking, YAH-fearing, and beautiful carrying the weight of the world on their shoulders. And we see the brothers, many of whom are waking up to their identity, looking for a way to build a legacy or a name for themselves. But a dangerous "spirit" has entered the conversation. It’s a whisper that tells the sisters, "There aren't enough men, so you have to settle for being a second or third wife," and tells the brothers, "The more women you have, the more 'biblical' you are." They call it "building a nation." They call it "righteousness." But if we look at the Blueprint, we see that it’s actually a trap. It’s a way to satisfy the flesh while using the Bible as a cover. The Blueprint: Why One? We have to ask the simple question: If the goal was just to make as many babies as possible, why did Elohim onl...

I have a question to ask? What are women called in the streets and in our commniites who have sex outside of marriage? As we know, in the streets and in our communities, the labels are harsh. They are designed to sting, to shame, and to mark a woman’s value based on her accessibility. They call our sisters side-chicks, baby mamas, whores, hoes, 304’s, sluts, and b##tches. Any and every derogatory name except a daughter of Zion. Now, let’s switch gears, what does the holy scriptures call a woman who has sex outside of marriage? According to Deuteronomy 23:17 -“There shall be no whore of the daughters of Israel…” But lately, there is a new "vocabulary" moving through the congregations. It’s a cleaner language, a more "holy" sounding language. It’s a language that takes the actions of the world and tries to dress them up under the cover of the Bible. We need to have a heart-to-heart conversation about multiplicity. Because while the world calls it "polygyny" ...
