"The Forward compiled and reviewed video of 10 #pageants in the #US since 2020 that feature a #Jewish character named โzhyd,โ โMoshkoโ or โChaim,โ and sometimes his wife, usually named Sarah. All were posted to social media, in many cases by the #churches themselves.
The pageants mix and match a few motifs, all showing these two #Jews in a negative light as they try to lure #Christians to commit sin. Some tempt the faithful with goods, loans or liquor. Some mock believers for worshipping #Christ; curse Christians; summon and collude with the #devil, or betray baby #Jesus to #KingHerod, who is seeking to kill him.
Most of the #actors playing the zhyd role wore what look to be #peyos, the sidelocks traditionally worn by #Orthodox #Jews. In one instance, the character wore an exaggerated #fakenose.
The Forward located photos from an additional eight pageants for which video is not publicly available that show actors with what appear to be peyos or a fake nose."

How Bright Is Yourย Lamp?
How much light do you have? God challenged me with these questions as my Gem of Knowledge today: "How much light do you have? How much oil do you have? How bright do you keep your lamp burning? Enough for others to come to the light or just enough to barely see for yourself? Who will have the more rewarding journey? Amen." Is my walk with Christ just enough to get me through the day? Or is my life shining brightly enough that someone else might be drawn toward Jesus because of what they see in me? The truth is, people who are lost don't need to see a dimly glowing faith. They need to see the hope, peace, joy, and love that only Jesus can produce. They need someone whose lamp is burning brightly enough to help guide them toward the Savior. Go shine. You never know whose path God intends to illuminate through your life. ๐ [SENSITIVE CONTENT]
Today’s One Year Bible Verses: 2 Chronicles 4:1โ6:11 โข Romans 7:1โ13 โข Psalm 17:1โ15 โข Proverbs 19:22โ23
Shine the Light of Christ
How much light do you have?
It’s a question worth askingโnot because Jesus’ light is limited, but because our willingness to continually seek Him often is.
God challenged me with these questions as my Gem of Knowledge today:
“How much light do you have? How much oil do you have? How bright do you keep your lamp burning? Enough for others to come to the light or just enough to barely see for yourself? Who will have the more rewarding journey? Amen.”
That last question stopped me.
Is my walk with Christ just enough to get me through the day? Or is my life shining brightly enough that someone else might be drawn toward Jesus because of what they see in me?
When Solomon dedicated the temple, every detail reflected God’s glory. The temple wasn’t built to draw attention to itself. It was built so people would encounter the presence of God. In much the same way, our lives were never meant to point people to ourselves. We are living temples of the Holy Spirit, called to reflect His light in a dark world.
Paul reminds us in Romans 7 that the law exposes our sin, but it cannot transform our hearts. Only Jesus can do that. The brighter His light shines within us, the more clearly we recognize the areas He wants to refine. His light doesn’t condemn usโit lovingly reveals what still needs to be surrendered so we can become more like Him.
David writes in Psalm 17,
“Guard me as you would guard your own eyes. Hide me in the shadow of your wings.”ย (Psalm 17:8, NLT)
What a beautiful picture of God’s care. As we remain close to Him, protected beneath His wings, He continues filling our lamps with fresh oil and His light shines more brightly through us.
The truth is, people who are lost don’t need to see a dimly glowing faith. They need to see the hope, peace, joy, and love that only Jesus can produce. They need someone whose lamp is burning brightly enough to help guide them toward the Savior.
So don’t settle for just enough oil to make it through another day.
Spend time with Jesus. Stay in His Word. Worship Him. Pray. Let Him continually refill your lamp. This is where we find peace in your storms, joy in any circumstance, contentment that the world can never satisfy, forgiveness for yourself and others, wisdom for our decisions, strength for our weaknesses, and hope that never fades. As His light fills us, it naturally begins to overflow into every conversation, every decision, and every relationship.
Don’t simply ask yourself, “Do I have enough oil?”
Ask yourself, “Is my lamp burning brightly enough that someone else can find Jesus because of the light they see in me?”
Choose today to spend time in His presence, open His Word, worship Him, and let Him refill your heart.
Go shine. You never know whose path God intends to illuminate through your life. ๐
Action (5 Minutes with God)
Take 5 minutes to fill your lamp today with God. Ask Him:
- โLord, what do You want me to know about this personally?โ
- Journal what He gives you through His Holy Spirit.
- Then ask, โWhat do You want me to do?โ
- Journal what He reveals โย then do it!
Allow Him to refill your heart with fresh oil so His light shines through you.
Prayer
Jesus, thank You for being the Light of the world. I don’t want to settle for a dimly burning lamp or yesterday’s oil. Fill me afresh with Your Holy Spirit and help me remain close to You every day. Let my life shine so brightly with Your love, truth, and peace that others are drawn to you, not because of me, but because they see You in me. Keep my lamp burning until the day I see You face to face. In Your mighty name I pray, Amen.

Seek, Follow, Abide: Part 1 โ What Are Youย Seeking?
"You will seek Me and find Me when you seek Me with all your heart." โ Jeremiah 29:13 Over the next three weeks, we'll journey together through a simple but life-changing question every follower of Christ must answer. We'll explore what it means to seek Jesus, follow His calling, and abide in His presence. While these truths are closely connected, each deserves time to be prayerfully considered. This week, we begin with one question: What are you seeking? Jesus made a promise in Matthew [โฆ] [SENSITIVE CONTENT]
“You will seek Me and find Me when you seek Me with all your heart.” โ Jeremiah 29:13
Over the next three weeks, we’ll journey together through a simple but life-changing question every follower of Christ must answer. We’ll explore what it means to seek Jesus, follow His calling, and abide in His presence. While these truths are closely connected, each deserves time to be prayerfully considered.
This week, we begin with one question:
What are you seeking?
Jesus made a promise in Matthew 7:7:
“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you.”
Most of us know those words by heart. But have you ever stopped to consider what you’re actually seeking?
The truth is, we always find what our hearts are pursuing.
If we seek approval, we’ll spend our lives trying to please people.
If we seek comfort, we’ll avoid anything that feels difficult.
If we seek success, we’ll measure our worth by accomplishments that never fully satisfy.
But when we seek Jesus, we discover something far greater than temporary fulfillmentโwe find the One who satisfies our souls.
What we seek shapes the way we see the world.
No one asks for difficult seasons. We naturally pray for healing, answers, and relief. Yet faith has a remarkable way of changing our perspective.
Faith doesn’t deny the pain of a trial. Faith reminds us that God is still present within it.
Sometimes the greatest blessing isn’t that the trial ends quickly. Sometimes it’s realizing that God is accomplishing something in us that could only happen through the struggle.
James tells us to consider it pure joy when we face trials because they produce perseverance. That doesn’t mean we celebrate suffering. It means we trust that God is working even when we cannot yet see the outcome.
It takes faith to recognize blessings that don’t arrive in the package we expected.
The more we seek Christ, the more we begin looking for His fingerprints instead of focusing only on our problems.
What Are You Looking For?
Have you ever noticed that when you’re shopping for a particular vehicle, you suddenly see that same model everywhere?
The cars were always there. You simply became aware of what you were looking for.
The same principle applies spiritually.
If you’re looking for reasons to doubt, you’ll probably find them.
If you’re looking for reasons to complain, you’ll discover plenty.
But if you’re seeking God’s presence, you’ll begin noticing His faithfulness in places you may have overlooked before.
A conversation.
An answered prayer.
An unexpected opportunity.
A quiet moment in His Word.
A peace that doesn’t make sense.
God’s presence often becomes most visible to those who intentionally seek Him.
It’s easy to seek what God can do for us.
We pray for wisdom.
Strength.
Healing.
Provision.
Direction.
These are all good gifts from a loving Father.
But God never intended for us to seek His hand more than His heart.
His greatest gift has always been Himself.
When we seek Jesus first, everything else begins to find its proper place. Our circumstances may not immediately change, but our perspective does. We begin to trust Him not only for what He provides, but because of who He is.
That kind of faith anchors us when life becomes uncertain.
This Week’s Invitation
Don’t try to do everything at once.
Simply…
Seek Him.
Next week, we’ll discover what it means to faithfully follow His call.
With love and joy,
Laura
PS. Here is a prayer for your week as you seek Him…Heavenly Father, search my heart and reveal what I have been seeking. Forgive me for the times I have pursued comfort, approval, or success more than Your presence. Help me seek You with my whole heart and trust that You will meet me in every season. Open my eyes to see Your blessings, even in the midst of trials, and teach me to desire You above everything else. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
