  • Some doctrines are sweet to the ears but deadly to the soul.

    Some messages make people comfortable when they should be convicted.

    Some sermons promise crowns while never mentioning the cross.

    Some preach heaven while refusing to talk about holiness.

    Some celebrate grace while completely ignoring the call to repentance.

    That is not the kind of food we should be feeding hungry souls.

  • Don't fuss about what's on the table at mealtimes or if the clothes you have are in fashion. There is much more to your inner life than food in your stomach, more to your outer appearance than the clothes you wear. Look at the ravens, free and unfettered, carefree in the care of God.

    You! Yes you! You are worth much more!!!

    Has anyone by fussing before the mirror gotten taller? If fussing can't do that, why fuss at all?
    Relax, don't be so preoccupied with getting, so you may be able to respond to Gods giving.

    Let us STEEP ourselves in God-reality, God-initiative, God-provisions.

    Peace unto you all

    17: Though the fig tree does not bud and no fruit is on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though the sheep are cut off from the fold and no cattle are in the stalls,
    18: yet I will exult in the LORD; I will rejoice in the God of my salvation!
    19: GOD the Lord is my strength; He makes my feet like those of a deer; He makes me walk upon the heights! For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments.

  • Soil Regeneration, Carbon, and Why Healthy Soil Matters

    Healthy soil is the foundation of every thriving ecosystem. Without healthy soil, forests decline, crops become weaker, water is lost more quickly, and biodiversity decreases.

    At Two Roots Garden Cambodia, we believe that restoring soil is one of the most important actions we can take for the future of people and nature.

    What Is Soil Regeneration?

    Soil regeneration is the process of rebuilding living, fertile soil through natural biological processes rather than depending primarily on synthetic fertilizers.

    Instead of simply feeding plants, we focus on feeding the entire soil ecosystem, including bacteria, fungi, earthworms, insects, and countless other organisms. These living communities recycle nutrients, improve soil structure, and help plants grow naturally.

    Healthy soil is alive.

    A single teaspoon of healthy soil can contain billions of microorganisms working together to support plant life.

    Soil and Carbon

    Plants remove carbon dioxide (CO₂) from the atmosphere through photosynthesis.

    They use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into sugars that fuel their growth.

    A significant portion of these sugars is transferred through the roots into the soil, where microorganisms convert some of this carbon into stable soil organic matter. This process stores carbon in the ground and helps build healthier soils.

    When land is degraded through erosion, repeated burning, excessive tillage, or the loss of vegetation, much of this stored carbon can be released back into the atmosphere.

    Regenerative farming practices help increase soil organic matter, which supports soil health and can contribute to greater long-term carbon storage.

    Why Organic Matter Matters

    Organic matter acts like nature's sponge.

    It helps the soil:

    - Store more water.
    - Improve drainage during heavy rain.
    - Reduce erosion.
    - Feed soil organisms.
    - Supply nutrients to plants.
    - Build stable soil structure.
    - Increase resilience during drought.

    As organic matter increases, soils generally become healthier and more productive.

    The Carbon Cycle in Our Garden

    Every leaf, branch, root, and piece of mulch plays a role in the carbon cycle.

    Instead of burning plant material or throwing it away, we return it to the soil.

    Through composting, mulching, pruning, and careful biomass management, plant material is recycled into new life.

    This creates a continuous cycle of growth, decomposition, and renewal.

    In nature, nothing is wasted.

    Biochar and Long-Term Carbon Storage

    At Two Roots Garden, we also use biochar where appropriate.

    Biochar is charcoal produced from plant material under low-oxygen conditions.

    When added correctly to biologically active soil, biochar can improve water retention, provide habitat for beneficial microorganisms, and contribute to long-term carbon storage.

    It works best when combined with compost or other organic materials rather than used on its own.

    Why This Matters for Cambodia

    Healthy soils can help farms and gardens become more resilient.

    Regenerating soil can:

    - Improve food production.
    - Reduce erosion during heavy rains.
    - Increase water-holding capacity during dry periods.
    - Support biodiversity.
    - Reduce dependence on expensive external inputs.
    - Strengthen local food security.
    - Improve the long-term productivity of family gardens.

    What Volunteers Can Do

    Every volunteer contributes to soil regeneration by:

    - Applying mulch.
    - Making compost.
    - Planting diverse species.
    - Protecting bare soil.
    - Returning biomass to the land.
    - Avoiding unnecessary disturbance.
    - Observing and caring for the living soil.

    Every handful of compost, every tree planted, and every layer of mulch contributes to a healthier ecosystem.

    Healthy soil is more than dirt beneath our feet—it is a living community that supports forests, farms, wildlife, and people. By restoring soil, we help create resilient landscapes that can nourish future generations while supporting biodiversity and storing more carbon over time.

  • PROVERB OF THE DAY

    (PROVERBS 31)

    1. The words of King Lemuel, the utterance which his mother taught him:

    2. What, my son?
    And what, son of my womb?
    And what, son of my vows?

    3. Do not give your strength to women,
    Nor your ways to that which destroys kings.

    4. It is not for kings, O Lemuel,
    It is not for kings to drink wine,
    Nor for princes intoxicating drink;

    5. Lest they drink and forget the law,
    And pervert the justice of all the afflicted.

    6. Give strong drink to him who is perishing,
    And wine to those who are bitter of heart.

    7. Let him drink and forget his poverty,
    And remember his misery no more.

    8. Open your mouth for the speechless,
    In the cause of all who are appointed to die.

    9. Open your mouth, judge righteously,
    And plead the cause of the poor and needy.

    10. Who can find a virtuous wife?
    For her worth is far above rubies.

    11. The heart of her husband safely trusts her;
    So he will have no lack of gain.

    12. She does him good and not evil
    All the days of her life.

    13. She seeks wool and flax,
    And willingly works with her hands.

    14. She is like the merchant ships,
    She brings her food from afar.

    15. She also rises while it is yet night,
    And provides food for her household,
    And a portion for her maidservants.

    16. She considers a field and buys it;
    From her profits she plants a vineyard.

    17. She girds herself with strength,
    And strengthens her arms.

    18. She perceives that her merchandise is good,
    And her lamp does not go out by night.

    19. She stretches out her hands to the distaff,
    And her hand holds the spindle.

    20. She extends her hand to the poor,
    Yes, she reaches out her hands to the needy.

    21. She is not afraid of snow for her household,
    For all her household is clothed with scarlet.

    22. She makes tapestry for herself;
    Her clothing is fine linen and purple.

    23. Her husband is known in the gates,
    When he sits among the elders of the land.

    24. She makes linen garments and sells them,
    And supplies sashes for the merchants.

    25. Strength and honor are her clothing;
    She shall rejoice in time to come.

    26. She opens her mouth with wisdom,
    And on her tongue is the law of kindness.

    27. She watches over the ways of her household,
    And does not eat the bread of idleness.

    28. Her children rise up and call her blessed;
    Her husband also, and he praises her:

    29“Many daughters have done well,
    But you excel them all.”

    30. Charm is
    deceitful and beauty is passing,
    But a woman who
    fears the LORD, she shall be praised.

    31. Give her of the fruit of her hands,
    And let her own works praise her in the gates.

  • A Nugget of Truth.
    SANCTIFIED THROUGH THE WORD

    Jesus prayed:
    “Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.” — John 17:17

    Sanctification is the work of God in transforming the life and character of the believer, and Jesus tells us that His Word is the instrument of that sanctification.

    But we cannot expect the Word to transform us if we rarely open it.

    Just as the body needs daily food, the spiritual life needs daily nourishment from the Scriptures. Jesus said:
    “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.” — Matthew 4:4

    Reading the Bible is not simply about gaining knowledge. We are to allow its truth to correct us, convict us, teach us, and change the way we think, speak, and live.

    “Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.” — Psalm 119:11

    True sanctification produces a visible change in character, conduct, speech, attitudes, and choices. The more we behold Christ in His Word, the more our lives are brought into harmony with His character.

    The Bible should therefore not be something we turn to only once a week. If we want to grow in holiness, overcome sin, recognise deception, and become more like Christ, we need His Word in our minds and hearts every day.

    “Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.”

    Daily Bible study is not what earns salvation—it is one of the primary ways God works His truth into the life of the person He is saving.

  • The Kitchen Newsletter

    Good day,
    Welcome to The Kitchen, where we explore, prepare and serve the contents in the Body of the Word as the delicacies of God—to create the form of the Father on the earth, to make the earth in His likeness, and to take charge of the economic destinies of nations for God.

    Relax, and let's journey through the scriptures to see the Body of the Word.

    The Word Is More Than Written Letters

    John's experience on the island of Patmos gives us a remarkable starting point.

    He turned to see the voice speaking to him, and what he saw was not merely a written sentence or an abstract idea. He saw Jesus Christ—the living Word of God—in the appearance of a man, with a body.

    John describes His head and hair, His eyes, His feet, His voice, His right hand, His mouth and His face.

    “His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and his eyes were like blazing fire.”
    Revelation 1:12–17

    This is important.

    The Word of God is not merely letters printed on pages. The Word is a living Person.

    And the Body of this living Word is the image of the invisible God.

    Hebrews tells us:

    “The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being.”
    Hebrews 1:3

    Paul similarly describes Christ as:

    “the image of God.”
    2 Corinthians 4:4

    So when we look at the Body of the Word, we are looking at the revelation of the invisible God.

    The invisible God cannot be seen with ordinary physical eyes. But He has made Himself known through the Body of the Word.

    That is why Paul says that God has caused light to shine in our hearts:

    “to give us the light of the knowledge of God’s glory displayed in the face of Christ.”
    2 Corinthians 4:6

    The face represents the person. The body gives us the detailed descriptions through which the Person of the Word is revealed.

    God Is Speaking From the Body of the Word

    There is another dimension here that I find particularly striking.

    Jesus does not merely want His Church to know about Him. He wants His Church to know Him.

    After John saw these things, Jesus said:

    “Write, therefore, what you have seen, what is now and what will take place later.”
    Revelation 1:19

    And Isaiah declares:

    “The hand of the LORD will be made known to his servants.”
    Isaiah 66:14

    The Scriptures testify about the Person of the Word.

    Jesus Himself said:

    “These are the very Scriptures that testify about me.”
    John 5:39

    Therefore, when Scripture gives us a description of the head, hair, eyes, face, hands, feet or mouth of the Word, we should not dismiss those descriptions as insignificant details.

    They are invitations to look deeper.

    The details of the Body of the Word become doors into the knowledge of God.

    This is why the Holy Spirit is so important.

    Jesus said concerning the Spirit of Truth:

    “.....He will take from what is mine and make known to you.”
    John 16:13–15

    And Revelation repeatedly gives us this instruction:

    “Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”
    Revelation 2:7

    The Spirit takes from Christ and makes Christ known.

    So the revelation of Scripture concerning the Body of the Word is not merely information. It is what the Spirit is saying to the churches.

    THE BODY OF THE WORD IS WHITE LIKE WOOL AND SNOW

    Now let us look at one particular description.

    John says:

    “His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow.”
    Revelation 1:14

    Notice that John is describing the head and hair, but the revelation does not have to stop at the head and hair.

    The description points us toward the description of the whole Person.

    Daniel saw something remarkably similar:

    “His clothing was as white as snow; the hair of his head was white like wool.”
    Daniel 7:9

    Then the Song of Solomon gives us another description:

    “His appearance is like Lebanon, choice as the cedars.”
    Song of Solomon 5:15

    Lebanon was known for its majestic mountain ranges and snow.

    The Scriptures are therefore giving us a consistent picture: whiteness, wool, snow, purity.

    Isaiah makes the meaning of this imagery particularly clear:

    “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool.”
    Isaiah 1:18

    White like snow.

    White like wool.

    The picture is purity.

    Cleanliness.

    Freedom from stain.

    No defect.

    No blemish.

    No corruption.

    So when we see the Body of the Word described as white like wool and white as snow, we are being brought into a revelation of the purity and holiness of God.

    The Body of the Word Is the Standard of Purity

    This has a very practical implication.

    How do we understand God's standard of purity?

    We look at the Body of the Word.

    How do we understand God's holiness?

    We look at the Body of the Word.

    How do we understand what it means for something to be clean before God?

    We look at the Body of the Word.

    The Body of the Word gives us the picture.

    The standard is not created by culture.

    It is not determined by popular opinion.

    It is not defined by whatever happens to be socially acceptable at the moment.

    The standard is the Body of the Word.

    This is why the revelation of the Body of the Word is not merely an interesting theological subject. It confronts the way we think, the way we live, the way we build, the way we govern and even the way we define what is acceptable.

    If Christ is the image of the invisible God, then our understanding of God must ultimately be brought into alignment with the Body of the Word.

    The Body of the Word is the purity of God.

    The Body of the Word is the holiness of God.

    And pursuing the revelation of the Body of the Word is therefore a pursuit of the holiness of God.

    The Psalmist says:

    “Worship the LORD in the splendor of his holiness.”
    Psalm 96:9

    But There Is Something Even More Provocative

    The same Body that is pure is also food.

    Jesus said:

    “I am the bread of life.”
    John 6:35

    And again:

    “I am the living bread that came down from heaven......and this bread is my flesh”
    John 6:51

    Then He makes the statement even more direct:

    “For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink.”
    John 6:55

    This gives us an extraordinary picture.

    The Body of the Word is not merely something God wants us to observe.

    It is food.

    And if the Body of the Word is white like wool and white as snow, then we can describe it as clean food.

    The delicacies of God are found in the revelation knowledge of the Body of the Word.

    The Body of the Word is the food.

    The detailed descriptions of the Body are the delicacies.

    The Holy Spirit is the Teacher.

    And the delicacies of the Father bring us into a deeper knowledge of the Father.

    The Table of God

    There is an intriguing Old Testament picture here.

    God instructed Israel:

    “Put the bread of the Presence on this table to be before me at all times.”
    Exodus 25:30

    Jesus identifies Himself as the Bread that came down from heaven.

    The connection is profound: God's table points us toward the Body of the Word as God's food.

    Even the language of the Song of Solomon gives us another picture:

    “And at our door is every delicacy, both new and old, that I have stored up for you.”
    Song of Solomon 7:13


    There are dimensions of Christ that we have not yet adequately explored.

    There are descriptions that we have read without necessarily understanding.

    There are Scriptures we have quoted without asking what Person they are revealing.

    And this is where the unfolding of the Word becomes important.

    “The unfolding of your words gives light; it gives understanding to the simple.”
    Psalm 119:130

    The Body of the Word can be read.

    The Body of the Word can be unfolded.

    And when unfolded, light comes.

    Not merely intellectual information.

    Revelation.

    The knowledge of the Father.

    The Clean Food of God

    This also helps us understand the Old Testament distinction between clean and unclean food.

    Leviticus 11 records God's instructions concerning clean and unclean animals.

    The animals were not simply a collection of arbitrary dietary regulations. Within the larger biblical pattern, they also point toward deeper realities that find their fulfillment in Christ.

    The clean animals—including lambs, sheep, goats and bulls—were repeatedly associated with sacrifice and worship.

    The ultimate reality, however, is Christ - his Body.

    John the Baptist identifies Him as:

    “the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!”
    John 1:29

    And Jesus declares:

    “My flesh is real food.”
    John 6:55

    So the shadow points toward the substance.

    The symbol points toward the Person.

    The animal points toward the Lamb.

    The bread points toward the Bread of Life.

    The descriptions point toward the Body of the Word.

    The Body of the Word is the clean food of God.

    And the delicacies contained within that Body are the detailed revelations through which God makes Himself known.

    What Are We Eating?

    Perhaps this is the question we should leave with today.

    What are you feeding your understanding of God with?

    Opinions?

    Traditions?

    Culture?

    Personal assumptions?

    Or are you allowing the Scriptures to introduce you to the Person of the Word?

    Jesus said the Scriptures testify about Him (John 5:39).

    The Holy Spirit takes what belongs to Christ and makes it known (John 16:13–15).

    The unfolding of the Word gives light (Psalm 119:130).

    And Christ is the exact representation of the invisible God (Hebrews 1:3).

    Therefore, there is a profound invitation before us:

    Come and feed on the Body of the Word.

    Look.

    Read.

    Unfold.

    Ask the Holy Spirit to open the Body of the Word to you.

    Look at the Body of the Word.

    Look at the descriptions.

    Look at its purity.

    Look at its holiness.

    Look at its beauty.

    Look at its members.

    Look at the delicacies contained within it.

    And perhaps what we have called ordinary words are carrying revelations of the Person of Christ that we have not yet tasted.

    The Father wants to make Himself known.

    And He has given us the Body of the Word.

    The Body of the Word is the image of the invisible God.

    The Body of the Word is pure.

    The Body of the Word is holy.

    The Body of the Word is clean food.

    And the revelation of that Body is a delicacy prepared for those who are willing to come to the table.

    The Kitchen Newsletter Good day, Welcome to The Kitchen, where we explore, prepare and serve the contents in the Body of the Word as the delicacies of God—to create the form of the Father on the earth, to make the earth in His likeness, and to take charge of the economic destinies of nations for God. Relax, and let's journey through the scriptures to see the Body of the Word. The Word Is More Than Written Letters John's experience on the island of Patmos gives us a remarkable starting point. He turned to see the voice speaking to him, and what he saw was not merely a written sentence or an abstract idea. He saw Jesus Christ—the living Word of God—in the appearance of a man, with a body. John describes His head and hair, His eyes, His feet, His voice, His right hand, His mouth and His face. “His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and his eyes were like blazing fire.” Revelation 1:12–17 This is important. The Word of God is not merely letters printed on pages. The Word is a living Person. And the Body of this living Word is the image of the invisible God. Hebrews tells us: “The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being.” Hebrews 1:3 Paul similarly describes Christ as: “the image of God.” 2 Corinthians 4:4 So when we look at the Body of the Word, we are looking at the revelation of the invisible God. The invisible God cannot be seen with ordinary physical eyes. But He has made Himself known through the Body of the Word. That is why Paul says that God has caused light to shine in our hearts: “to give us the light of the knowledge of God’s glory displayed in the face of Christ.” 2 Corinthians 4:6 The face represents the person. The body gives us the detailed descriptions through which the Person of the Word is revealed. God Is Speaking From the Body of the Word There is another dimension here that I find particularly striking. Jesus does not merely want His Church to know about Him. He wants His Church to know Him. After John saw these things, Jesus said: “Write, therefore, what you have seen, what is now and what will take place later.” Revelation 1:19 And Isaiah declares: “The hand of the LORD will be made known to his servants.” Isaiah 66:14 The Scriptures testify about the Person of the Word. Jesus Himself said: “These are the very Scriptures that testify about me.” John 5:39 Therefore, when Scripture gives us a description of the head, hair, eyes, face, hands, feet or mouth of the Word, we should not dismiss those descriptions as insignificant details. They are invitations to look deeper. The details of the Body of the Word become doors into the knowledge of God. This is why the Holy Spirit is so important. Jesus said concerning the Spirit of Truth: “.....He will take from what is mine and make known to you.” John 16:13–15 And Revelation repeatedly gives us this instruction: “Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” Revelation 2:7 The Spirit takes from Christ and makes Christ known. So the revelation of Scripture concerning the Body of the Word is not merely information. It is what the Spirit is saying to the churches. THE BODY OF THE WORD IS WHITE LIKE WOOL AND SNOW Now let us look at one particular description. John says: “His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow.” Revelation 1:14 Notice that John is describing the head and hair, but the revelation does not have to stop at the head and hair. The description points us toward the description of the whole Person. Daniel saw something remarkably similar: “His clothing was as white as snow; the hair of his head was white like wool.” Daniel 7:9 Then the Song of Solomon gives us another description: “His appearance is like Lebanon, choice as the cedars.” Song of Solomon 5:15 Lebanon was known for its majestic mountain ranges and snow. The Scriptures are therefore giving us a consistent picture: whiteness, wool, snow, purity. Isaiah makes the meaning of this imagery particularly clear: “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool.” Isaiah 1:18 White like snow. White like wool. The picture is purity. Cleanliness. Freedom from stain. No defect. No blemish. No corruption. So when we see the Body of the Word described as white like wool and white as snow, we are being brought into a revelation of the purity and holiness of God. The Body of the Word Is the Standard of Purity This has a very practical implication. How do we understand God's standard of purity? We look at the Body of the Word. How do we understand God's holiness? We look at the Body of the Word. How do we understand what it means for something to be clean before God? We look at the Body of the Word. The Body of the Word gives us the picture. The standard is not created by culture. It is not determined by popular opinion. It is not defined by whatever happens to be socially acceptable at the moment. The standard is the Body of the Word. This is why the revelation of the Body of the Word is not merely an interesting theological subject. It confronts the way we think, the way we live, the way we build, the way we govern and even the way we define what is acceptable. If Christ is the image of the invisible God, then our understanding of God must ultimately be brought into alignment with the Body of the Word. The Body of the Word is the purity of God. The Body of the Word is the holiness of God. And pursuing the revelation of the Body of the Word is therefore a pursuit of the holiness of God. The Psalmist says: “Worship the LORD in the splendor of his holiness.” Psalm 96:9 But There Is Something Even More Provocative The same Body that is pure is also food. Jesus said: “I am the bread of life.” John 6:35 And again: “I am the living bread that came down from heaven......and this bread is my flesh” John 6:51 Then He makes the statement even more direct: “For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink.” John 6:55 This gives us an extraordinary picture. The Body of the Word is not merely something God wants us to observe. It is food. And if the Body of the Word is white like wool and white as snow, then we can describe it as clean food. The delicacies of God are found in the revelation knowledge of the Body of the Word. The Body of the Word is the food. The detailed descriptions of the Body are the delicacies. The Holy Spirit is the Teacher. And the delicacies of the Father bring us into a deeper knowledge of the Father. The Table of God There is an intriguing Old Testament picture here. God instructed Israel: “Put the bread of the Presence on this table to be before me at all times.” Exodus 25:30 Jesus identifies Himself as the Bread that came down from heaven. The connection is profound: God's table points us toward the Body of the Word as God's food. Even the language of the Song of Solomon gives us another picture: “And at our door is every delicacy, both new and old, that I have stored up for you.” Song of Solomon 7:13 There are dimensions of Christ that we have not yet adequately explored. There are descriptions that we have read without necessarily understanding. There are Scriptures we have quoted without asking what Person they are revealing. And this is where the unfolding of the Word becomes important. “The unfolding of your words gives light; it gives understanding to the simple.” Psalm 119:130 The Body of the Word can be read. The Body of the Word can be unfolded. And when unfolded, light comes. Not merely intellectual information. Revelation. The knowledge of the Father.
