What separates you from God? We know, intellectually, that nothing can separate us. But fears, failures, and our daily battle with sin can make us wonder if we are the exception to the rule.

One of the first things that invades our minds when God calls us to some new ministry or way of life is self-doubt, the haunting feeling that what God wants is just too far beyond us. Moses is the classic biblical case, told to become the instrument of God's deliverance of the Hebrews in Egypt.

It's easy to forget that the Bible we read, translated in so many different languages today, has its roots firmly in the Jewish tradition. The Old Testament was written primarily in Hebrew, and the New Testament, written in Greek, was heavily influenced by the language and concepts of the Hebrew world.

He is head of the Israel Institute of Biblical Studies and the Israel Bible Center.Dr. Eli Lizorkin-Eyzenberg comes to us today with credentials from Stellenbosch University, Reformed Theological Seminary, with post-doctoral studies at the University of Pennsylvania, Leiden University, Princeton Theological Seminary, and Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
