The word Shofar is Hebrew and in our modem bibles it is mostly called a trumpet. Today, the shofar is being used as an instrument of spiritual warfare and is being blown, not only in Jewish synagogues, but also in Christian Churches and Messianic Congregations all over the world to usher in the biblical festivals and to inspire people to mend their lives and repent.

The trouble is with me, for I am all too human, a slave to sin. don't really understand myself, for I want to do what is right, but I don't do it. Instead, I do what I hate. ^^But if I know that what I am doing is wrong, this shows that I agree that the law is good. So 1 am not the one doing wrong; it is sin living in me that does it. And I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature.

The Greek word for love is agape; the term agape was used to refer to the self-sacrificing love of God for humanity. (John 3:16) says "for God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." God looked beyond our faults and saw our need; his deep love and affection for his creation cause him to offer up his son. Jesus Christ was the ultimate love covering he covered a multitude of sins by shedding his blood on the cross teaching us that we too must have love and affection for one other.
