Over the past week I have been pondering again the Noahide Laws, yet again and again I hear that they are not enough or that they are second class from those who are in the process of joining the Jewish people. This should not even be a reason for gerus, here’s why. As I have …

The Rope
Why ‘emuna’ and not ‘faith’? Early on, when I first became a student of the Hebrew Scriptures, I was blessed to learn what true Torah faith was; it was pure Divine providence. Matter of fact, I was about to enter a very rough period and what I learned would save me from disaster. A few …
A Grain Of Sand
Have you ever seen what sand looks like from under a microscope? The borrowed picture from the internet on the left is a sample of what sand looks like up close. It has a magnificent beauty from the Creator; it also has a hidden strength assigned to it by the Creator as we will see. …
Bnei Noach Baal Teshuva
Conversion? In the past year I have been questioned about the subject of Noahide conversion. My personal stance on the subject has been that there is no conversion necessary, because when one is born into this world the Laws of the Creator were already in place, thus they, the Laws of G-d are our birthright, a heritage that is …

Trek on the other hand is a slow arduous journey, thus Emuna trek is the slow struggle and laborious journey to discovering true biblical faith.

It in this setting that I spend time in reflecting on my studies and personal communication with the amazing Creator of the view I am blessed …
Nineveh – A Lesson for America
There is a Jewish and a non-Jewish side to the story of Jonah. The story for the most part has been turned into a cute child’s tale about a man and a whale. When in all actuality it is not about a whale for the species of the great fish is not given in the …
Returning to the Tents of Shem
There seems to be a general disconnect when reading the book of Genesis. To the average reader of the Bible it has become more of a story book for children in Sunday school; it is seldom studied in depth from the perspective that it is an instructional book from the Creator. There seems to be a general disconnect when reading the …
