Most of my efforts in recent months have been directed towards Reggie's site which is nearly complete (now called "Mystery of Israel"). I have also added a few entries on my own blog "His Yoke Is Easy."
July 5 2009
Added harmonies to the Aleph section and the Heh Section of Psalm 119. Only the MP3 has been updated. The video still has the old version.
June 2009
Began work on a new site for Reggie Kelly called Reign of Grace. The old site will remain intact until all content has been moved. First priority (before moving content) is to get all questions from Reggie's email list posted.
April 10, 2009
Added harmonies to the Shin section of Psalm 119. Only the MP3 has been updated. The video still has the old version.

December 17, 2008
Updated Reggie's Q&A page with an excellent explanation on the God's ultimate goal in establishing the Everlasting Covenant.
November 24, 2008
Updated Reggie's Q&A page with a response to a question about Covenental Theology vs. Dispensational Theology. What unfolds begins with a beautiful discourse on the anatomy of revelation.
November 15, 2008,
Updated Reggie Kelly's Q&A page to include a response regarding the tribulation and the rapture: The Time (timing) of Jacob's Trouble
October 18, 2008
Posted new article by Reggie Kelly called: Daniel as a Type of the Godly Remnant.
October 15, 2008
I have found a way to make Scripture references pop up a window with the text of the reference in it (Example: Dt 32:21). This is most helpful with reading Reggie Kelly's articles as he makes frequent reference to Scripture in his writings.
October 13, 2008
Updated Reggie Kelly's Q&A page to include a response regarding the tribulation and the rapture: The Dangerous Presumption of Exemption from Tribulation.
September 21, 2008
Updated Reggie Kelly's Itinerary page with the Table Talks meeting in New England this coming weekend. Apologies for the late notice.
September 6, 2008
I have now been permanently banned from JewTube for my Psalm 119 music and commentary.
July 21, 2008
My JewTube profile was inexplicably deleted. Started again with the profile Psalm119.
July 15, 2008
I have begun posting Psalm 119 videos on JewTube. So far, the only responses have been a severe scolding for my Christian translation, and a death threat.
June 1, 2008
Work has continued on the Psalm 119 project. I have taken the advise of a musician friend and added some harmony to select sections (Aleph, Heth, Yodh, Kaph, Peh and Tav).
April 5, 2008
A new, much more detailed Site Map has been created that should make ALL of the pages of the ZCPress site more accessible. It has always been available by hovering over and clicking the bottom bar of the border that frames every page of the site.
April 1, 2008
A landing page for the Art Katz material is in place that has links to the Mystery of Israel and the Church series and a couple of sessions of the 2004 Prophetic School devoted to Psalm 119. In contrast to the Psalm 119 series, a talk called "Pauls Vehemence Against Legalism" has also been posted. Additionally, permission to post an article Art wrote on witnessing to Jews has been obtained. Thanks to Ben Israel and Art Katz Ministries for granting this priviledge.
March 29, 2008
Due to the restructuring of Ben Israel's web site and the establishment of ArtKatzMinistries.org, Reggie Kelly's articles that once graced the BI site are no longer available there. It is my privilege to be able to offer those articles here at ZCP.
March 12, 2008
The 1987 series on The Mystery of Israel and the Church by Art Katz that has been so formative in my own life is now available for download here at ZCP.
January 13, 2008
The Psalm 119 page is now complete for all practical purposes. Permission has been acquired from Ben Israel to post two sessions [One, Two] of commentary on Psalm 119 by the late Art Katz and another relatively recent message of his called Paul's Vehement Opposition to Legalism. I felt that message was a good balance to a Psalm having so much to do with the Law. Every song now has a link to Charles Spurgeon's Commentary on that particular section of Psalm 119.
The CD Jacket with Lyrics has also been made available, as well as a booklet with Lyrics and Guitar Chords. CD Label and Rear Cover are forthcoming.
There will be updates to the music files as cleaner recordings are made with a new microphone I have acquired.
October 7, 2007
Added the beginnings of a page on Psalm 119. I have asked the Lord to give me tunes to the words of this Psalm so that I might meditate on His Word more effectively. It remains to be seen if this work shall be used for anything more than that, but even if that remains the extent of it, that is no small thing.
June 2, 2007
Added a printable greeting card for Shavuot (Feast of Weeks) or as Christians may know it, Pentecost. Hopefully, this will be the first of several such cards for sending to friends and acquaintances at various times of the year.
May 27, 2007
Updated the Zion Christian Fellowship Page. This page now also contains links to Oswald Chamber's My Utmost for His Highest and Charles Spurgeon's Morning and Evening.
May 20, 2007
Added printable version of An Appeal to the Jewish People mentioned below. Also available 2-up for pocket sized booklets.
May 19, 2007
Added another Sermon by Joseph Rabinowitz. The first sermon mentioned below was delivered in London. This one was delivered in his home town in Russia.
May 16, 2007
Added An Appeal to the Jewish People by Isaac Lichtenstein. This is Rabbi Lichtenstein's impassioned plea to his people to consider Jesus of Nazareth. Written in the late 19th or very early 20th century.
May 6, 2007
Added the Autobiography of Joseph Rabinowitz, mostly of his life before acknowledging Jesus.
May 5, 2007
Added a Sermon by Joseph Rabinowitz, a 19th Century Russian Jew who turned to Jesus of Nazareth late in life, and bore the reproach among his people for over a decade after that.
April 26, 2007
Added this page "Recent Updates" to the Foolish section, so that friends of this site can see what has been added since they last visited.
April 2007
Added short biography of Rabbi Isaac Lichtenstein. Rabbi Lichtenstein was a Hungarian Jew of the 19th Century who professed Jesus as Lord while in his office as Rabbi. He maintained that testimony and that office for many years after at great personal cost. Read more here...
April 2007
Added article by Oliver Greene on the 70 Weeks of Daniel.
April 2007
Added article by David Baron on Messianic Judaism.
March 2007
With a broken heart, I removed Stan Telchin's Testimony from the Links pages of the Angry/Jealous sections of this site, due to the open dispute taking place with one of his daughters, over matters of integrity with the ministry. I am praying for this dispute to be resolved in a way that is pleasing to the Lord. I am also praying that my own life will not bring disgrace to Him or those whose hope is in His name.
March 2007
Added Searchability to the ZCP Site (see bottom of this page)
Also added a custom Error page for broken links and mistyped URLs.
February 2007
Began Online Journal "His Yoke Is Easy"
September 2007
I visit Ben Israel, the Christian community in Northern Minnesota where Art Katz lives for the first time. I share a little of our circumstances with Art and he suggests that we may have left Zion prematurely. I interpret that as meaning that we left without at least sharing our hearts fully to everyone.
On my first Sunday back at home we go return to "Zion." I share my heart openly (but with not much grace) about the pastor being in authority over the fellowship since she is a woman (see "Late Fall 2005" below). The pastor asks me who I think the pastor should be. The question catches me off guard. I had been praying for her husband and heard "full repentance and full restoration" so I said it should be him.
Interestingly, God sent a lady from Tennesee, whom we had never met before as a witness of the whole service.
The following Wednesday we were asked not to return unless we could acknowledge her as pastor.
Spring 2006
I revised the Solomon's Temple booklet to contain comparisons to the Book of Revelation, which I had not seen before.
Winter 2005/2006
Very few major changes were made to the site in most of 2006. This was an intense year. From Thanksgiving 2005 until late January 2006, I had a horrible cough (possibly the whooping cough) that drained all my strength physically. Many days I would come home from work and just go to bed. After much wrestling (since autumn of 2004), we left "Zion," our fellowship of almost 20 years, on January 25th. Surprisingly, a great peace came.
Late Fall 2005
Added booklet, The Dedication of Solomon's Temple (again to all three sections). This message probes the account of the dedication of the temple for insight into the last days, and specifically the role Israel has in ushering in the eternal Presence of God in the last days.
On another note, perhaps not totally unrelated, the pastor calls and asks what is bothering me. I studder and stammer but finally share my displeasure about the Zion name change and my concern about the pastor taking her husband's place when he stepped down a few years ago. I am struggling again about women being in authority over men, and the particular awkwardness of the situation at our fellowship.
Summer 2005
Added booklet, I Will Make This House Like Shiloh to all three sections. In this message I explore the determination in the heart of God to make His ancient people like Himself, and specifically as He has revealed Himself in His Son Jesus.
Spring 2005
I began to flesh out the other sections of the site. Young Earth, for instance, is added.
January 2005
New name at our church became official. To keep the old name alive, I registered zionchristianpress.org and zcpress.org as domains and posted the humble beginnings of the site. Online reading included only a version of the Law Shall Go Forth message and the Jewish Problem by David Baron. Based on Deuteronomy 32:31 (see the welcome screen), I decided to separate the site into 3 sections: one for those who are angry, one for those who are becoming jealous but are not yet believers, and one for those who are bearing the reproach of Jesus and have become fools for Him.
Fall 2004
I delivered a message at our church based on The Law Shall Go Forth booklet. Following the message, the pastor exclaimed that it was no mistake that the name of the fellowship is Zion Christian Assembly. Two weeks later, it was announced that the name of the church will soon be changed to "Glad Tidings Family Church".
