But, we are not required to. I am thankful that my God our Creator does not change; one of His expectations of me, is to self improve. Which requires that I change.

Deceit Pt.1
There are at least two commercials that I have seen on TV that does not reflect what a God fearing person should be striving for. In these commercials they promote lying to get a desired want. The one lies to a little girl to teach exercise; the other one has a man hiding something so he has …
The Pulpit, The Pew And Beyond
Rabbi Brody teaches that one should not be ashamed of their past, it is where you were that got you to where you are at now. Today’s blog is more of an autobiographical, so my readers can know me a bit more. Many of my readers know that one time I was a Christian, what …
God’s Presence

Don’t Hide Your Noah

Something I Need To Say
The Creator, the G-d of Abraham, the G-d of Isaac and the G-d of Jacob. The One True G-d of Israel in Whom no form has been shown and in Whom there is no mediator between Him and His Creation is Awesome and He alone is G-d and there is no other. Today I had …
The Blessing of Being You
There is something amazing and freeing that over takes a person on the day they wake up and stop striving to be something they're not. A new world and life opens up before them, they take those first steps in becoming who they were created to be. You see, that was me just over a year ago. …
Meat Taken From a Living Animal
After the great Flood the Creator gave mankind permission to eat meat but it came with instructions. This new instruction completed the list of basic laws that mankind was to live by; which today are known as The Seven Noahide Commandments. The Creator instructed Noah in Genesis 9:3-4 "Every moving thing that lives shall be food …
