... a Journey, a Way of Life
Returning to the Garden is an expression of heart and mind,
a spiritual pursuit in a physical existence,
a journey, a way of life.
We seek a reverent, peaceful, loving relationship with our Creator Yahweh and the world around us.
We live according to a coherent understanding as it is revealed to us by His Holy Spirit
and our ongoing study of His Word.
We invite you to join us as we find the narrow way together,
abiding in Him and listening to His Divine Whisper,
returning to the garden.

A New Year - Declaring the Glory of Yah!
We were moved to write about the importance of coming in the "spirit of Elijah" this year, declaring the Glory of Yah
to fellow Believers and non-Believers alike. The changes and challenges that lie ahead are opening up
many opportunities to serve our Lord and Messiah with the full knowledge that His Promises are true throughout time!

Is it a problem if a High Holy Day, an annual Sabbath, falls on a weekday-7, a Saturday, a weekly Sabbath?
We see this happen fairly frequently on various luni-solar calendars. It's just how the days and their counts work out sometimes when we use the new moon to begin a month. When a "double sabbath" happens, the Holy Day will normally take precedence over the weekly Shabbat. It's still a Sabbath, so it's really not a problem - right? It must be how Yah wants it... (?) |
Is it really okay for one type of Sabbath to blot out the other?
Conundrum!
