           WHAT IS THIS HEBRAIC ROOTS  PHENOMENON ?
                              by Rick Richardson

     Something is happening.  In every denomination within the Christian Church
and the Jewish Synagogue there is a drawing; a tug back to the origins of
our faith.  We who are being drawn are seeking something, but we are  not
always sure what that something is. We are part of a phenomenon, trying, (to
the best of our abilities), to follow that tug, that we believe is God
Himself drawing us back to our beginnings.

     From my perspective, it is not necessarily essential to know why the
phenomenon is happening, only to see that it is.  It is somewhat like the
movie "Close Encounters of the Third Kind".  Many people feel like the
character played by Richard Dreyfus.  They are pulled  toward Jerusalem.
They are compelled to reevaluate, and begin to observe in a more complete
way, the Sabbath and the Biblical Holy Days.  Prayer and gratitude and an
eagerness to learn are becoming more prominent in their lives. They find a
kinship with complete strangers who are also being pulled the same
direction, to the same end. 

     There is no organization that will control or contain it.  It is not our
doing, ... it is God's. That, however, does not mean that there will not be
organizational attempts to take control and even take credit for the
movement now a-foot.  This, in itself, is the biggest obstacle that we are
facing; to allow ADONAI to do His work, and for those of us who are leaders
to be gentle guides.  To not evaluate our own significance as of any
importance. To not read ourselves into prophecy.  To not focus upon our own
accomplishments, as if they were the important factor.

    When you get right down to it.  None of us have the market on being able
even fully comprehend what He is doing.  Every time I believe I understand
the breadth of what He is doing, I soon realize; I was only seeing the edges
of a small corner.

   What then are we to do?  Should we sit back and ignore it, avoiding taking
any active roll?   No, but neither should we force it into our individual
areas of comfort and familiarity.  We should be aware of and watchful for,
those people eager for followings ... for the person who believe that God
has given His truth to them alone. 

   As phenomenees and observers of this phenomenon unfolding, let us not be
focused in narrow areas and subjects that will divide us.  Rather let us
focus on what unites us; the topics, issues, and values that we can clearly
see we are all moving toward.  Asking each other for patience and
understanding.  Being able to teach and be taught.  Not forcing or
convincing, but gently guiding, directing, and educating in the service of
one another. 

May ADONAI bless us all in His service,
Rick Richardson
