Mark Call – Parsha “Ki Tavo” teaching from Shabbat Shalom Mesa
Parsha "Ki Tavo" (Deuteronomy 26:1 thru 29:8) is the most well-known collection of "blessings and cursings" in the Bible. There is, of course, much more. But this year, there's an additional twist as well. Having taught this for a number of years at this point, and...
“Come out of her, My people” Show ~ Mark Call weekly
When Mark Call started doing this show, years ago, a common metaphor for 'the world' at the time, and those who served its prince, was "an iron fist, hidden in a velvet glove." Later, the glove clearly came off, and the "iron fist of Tyranny" within was revealed. But...
Mark Call – Parsha “Ki Tetzi” teaching from Shabbat Shalom Mesa
Parsha "Ki Tetzi" (Deuteronomy 21:10 thru chapter 25) is unique in a number of ways. Not only is it "maximally politically IN-correct" - which itself speaks volumes - but it contains more 'statutes, judgments, and commandments' than just about any other parsha in the...
“Come out of her, My people” Show ~ Mark Call weekly
A special note up front from host Mark Call: This was a tough show to do, folks. It's a topic that has been on my heart, and my mind, for a while now, and finally "came to a head" this week. And I knew it would strike a nerve. But until I actually went through my...
Mark Call – Parsha “Shoftim” teaching from Shabbat Shalom Mesa
Parsha "Shoftim" (Deuteronomy 16:18-21:9) begins with the word which means "judges," and proceeds to describe a set of instruction having to do with the "rule of law," and 'justice,' and concepts of what an honest, trustworthy judiciary looks like that is so foreign...
Mark Call – Parsha “Re-eh” teaching from Shabbat Shalom Mesa
Parsha "Re'eh" (Deuteronomy 11:26-16:17) begins with the single word "Behold!" Or, more simply, in the modern English, just "See." Which is what most of xtianity has refused to do for at least 1700 years now. And it's pretty easy to actually read this one, and see...
Mark Call – Parsha “Ekev” teaching from Shabbat Shalom Mesa
Sometimes the Torah portion reading almost seems like it could have come from today's news. Other times, we know the message applies, but we have to search a bit to make what later often turn out to be obvious connections. This week, it's a bit of both. Parsha Ekev...
Mark Call – Parsha “Vaetchanan” teaching from Shabbat Shalom Mesa
Parsha "Vaetchanan" (Deuteronomy 3:23-7:11) might be considered one of the 'most important' in the entire Torah: it includes not only the 'second reading' of the Ten Debaraim/Words/Sayings/Commandments, but also what the Messiah called the Greatest Commandment of all....
Drive Time Friday
David Justice likes to remind us that what Scripture says is true, and the "weapons of our warfare are not carnal." This week, Mark Call added, we should also add that one of those powerful weapons is ridicule. Sometimes people who can't hear the Truth directly can't...
“Come out of her, My people” Show ~ Mark Call weekly
There's a war coming. Maybe more than one. Because the same servants-of-the-Adversary who have been jonesin' to kick off a thermonuclear first strike are also working hard to set "neighbor against neighbor," and drive once-free AmeriKa into total chaos as well. And...
Mark Call – Parsha “Chukat/Balak” teaching from Shabbat Shalom Mesa
This week the regular annual cycle is a double-parsha (Chukat, Numbers chapters 19 through 21), and then parsha Balak, chapters 22 through 24...and a bit more. Admittedly, Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa thinks that's a bit much for one week's study, but at least...
Drive Time Friday
Now that even most who have denied the obvious must reluctantly admit that the "United States of America" most of us grew up in has been conquered, the tough question remains: What NOW? The answer hasn't changed. But the urgency certainly has, and the TOOLS to do it...
