No experience necessary


God calls Jeremiah to be a prophet to the nations; before he was born. Jeremiah tells God that he is only a boy and that he cannot speak. God’s not interested in his excuses. When we apply for a job, we usually have to hand in a resume to show our prospective employer that we have the experience, skills and knowledge necessary to do the job.

It’s different with God. He calls us before we’re even born. This means He calls us before we have any experience, skills or knowledge. Like Jeremiah God tells us we simply need to be willing. He will enable and empower us to do whatever He calls us to do.

Family Update
Gita and Reva are actively preparing for Cross Country and JROTC. Ravi has been accepted to take classes this Fall Semester at USF in Tampa. Asha will fly out of Syracuse tonight at 5:00 PM where she will meet her friend Elisa in Israel. I (Ron) am contacting pastors about leading a teaching tour of the “Treasures of Jerusalem.” Most people won’t be able to go to Jerusalem, so I am bringing Jerusalem to people in the US. Please pray for God’s favor as I contact pastors.

$upport RON GOLDBERG MINISTRIES so Ron and Vinu can “raise their voices like a shofar” (Isaiah 58).

People who give in to their craves can find themselves in early graves, unless God saves (them). Check out the message I'll share at Shoresh David in Tampa, FL Saturday morning in person or on FB Live to find out Paul's solution to this grave problem. Tuesday night at 8:00 PM I will share a short teaching on Facebook Live. Join me at https://www.facebook.com/groups/TorahForLife/ Rabbi Ron Speaks June 22 – Shoresh David, Tampa, FL One young lady who saw a recent video of mine contacted me this week. She has been very discouraged and reached out searching for hope. I received another phone call from a man who is trying to reach out to a Jewish co-worker. He asked me questions so he can better share with this person. Please pray that God uses my videos to touch people, and that He uses me to equip people to share with Jewish people. I have 5 speaking engagements scheduled in NY during my July visit. I’m still checking into 3 more. If you know of a congregation

Do you yearn for Jerusalem?

Image
I can’t get enough of Psalm 132:13-14 which says, “For the Lord has chosen Jerusalem; He has desired it for His home. “This is My resting place forever,” He said. “I will live here, for this is the home I desired. Two times it tells us that God desired Jerusalem to be His eternal home. When I looked up the word “desire” in the thesaurus it listed the following words: wanted, favorite, chosen, preferred, sought after, coveted, craved, yearn for. Jerusalem must be really special for God to feel this way. I’d like to ask you to do one thing: Can you share with us one reason why Jerusalem is one of your favorite places? Just one reason that you desire and yearn to go there. Family Update Asha is in Israel I’m sure she’s loving it, but she had a rough start. Her luggage was left in Moscow. It took 2 days for her to get it. But after she got it, she was in Masada and enjoying a Frappe. Life is good for Asha! I ( Ron ) had a headache for 9 days. I spent time in the ER; had

Should Israel give up the Temple for peace?

Image
A few years ago when I went to Israel, Hillel (our tour guide) told us that Israel’s leaders will never give up the Western Wall (of the Jerusalem Temple). It is proof that we’ve lived there in the past, but it also reminds us of our future. When he said this, God told me the Wall is a stump . What do you know about a tree stump? If you have any ideas how the Wall is a stump I invite you to post them on my FB page at: https://www.facebook.com/RabbiRonSpeaks/ This Saturday I will speak at Shoresh David in Tampa and teach about this. If you live in Tampa Bay, come out to hear me speak. If you can’t be there, watch the service on FB Live at: https://www.facebook.com/ShoreshDavid/ Rabbi Ron Speaks July 20 – Shoresh David, Tampa, FL Go to my Events Calendar at Facebook.com/RabbiRonSpeaks to find out more details.
