Churches across the world preach love for God—but are they ignoring what that love requires: obedience to His original commandments? In his thought-provoking book “Following Christ: Rediscovering the Jewish Faith of Jesus,” religious scholar Harry Buerermakes a bold claim. He says modern Christianity has strayed from God’s instructions, abandoning practices given through Moses including keeping the Sabbath, observing biblical festivals and honoring dietary laws. Buerer, a seminary-trained Bible scholar and longtime church leader, argues that Jesus and his earliest followers upheld these teachings—and that Gentile Christians were never meant to reject them. His insights challenge centuries of tradition and invite believers to take a fresh look at what it really means to love and obey God. This is a conversation that will stir hearts, spark debate, and encourage deeper biblical reflection. ContactHarry Buerer at (503) 388-9245; hbuerer@rtirguests.com
