GoodNess Of God

Powerful and Beautiful Worship – A Must Listen to – by Immanuel Church Worship Band in Gurnee. Our New Home Church.

Songwriters: Jason David Ingram / Brian Johnson / Edmond Martin Cash / Benjamin David Fielding / Jenn Johnson

Goodness of God lyrics © So Essential Tunes, Capitol Cmg Paragon, Bethel Music Publishing, Shout! Music Publishing Australia

You need to hear the message shared by the worship leader. It ties perfectly to the series I’ve been sharing, “Comfort or the Cross.” Listen to the song. Listen to the message. Go back through the series. Pray deeply and honestly about where you are in your faith.

Ask yourself: Have you set down your cross because of pain, disappointment, or unanswered prayers? Have you never picked it up at all? What are you waiting for? God is here. He is not silent, and He has not abandoned you. Just as Joanna said in her message to the church: “How long, Lord, will You not hear my cry? Lord, I believe, but help my unbelief.”

If you find yourself asking these words, if you are wrestling with faith, doubt, or heartache, then this song, this message, and this series are for you. Know this: You are loved beyond measure. God has not given up on you, and He will never give up. Pick up your cross. Step into His presence. Let Him meet you right where you are.

All my life You have been faithful
All my life You have been so, so good
With every breath that I am able
Oh, I will sing of the
Goodness of God

I love You, Lord
Oh, Your mercy never failed me
And all my days, I’ve been held in Your hands
From the moment that I wake up
Until I lay my head
Oh, I will sing of the
Goodness of God

All my life You have been faithful
All my life You have been so, so good
With every breath that I am able
Oh, I will sing of the
Goodness of God

I love Your voice
You have led me through the fire
In darkest night You are close like no other
I’ve known You as a Father
I’ve known You as a Friend
Oh, I have lived in the
Goodness of God, oh-oh-oh

And all my life You have been faithful
All my life You have been so, so good
With every breath that I am able
Oh, I will sing of the
Goodness of God

Yeah, yeah, yeah
So good

Your goodness is running after, it’s running after me
Your goodness is running after, it’s running after me
With my life laid down, I’m surrendered now
I give You everything
‘Cause Your goodness is running after, it’s running after me
Your goodness is running after, it’s running after me
Your goodness is running after, it’s running after me
With my life laid down, I’m surrendered now
I give You everything
‘Cause Your goodness is running, it keeps running after me

All my life You have been faithful
All my life You have been so, so good
With every breath that I am able
Oh, I will sing of the
Goodness of God
Oh, I will sing of the
Goodness of God
Yeah-yeah, yeah

You lead me and guide me, God
Faithful Father, floods my soul
Oh, and You are my anchor in the wind and the waves
You are my provider, oh, yeah
And You lead me and guide me by Your Spirit
And Your Word I have never walked alone
My joy, my joy, every day

Oh, Shepherd of my soul, oh
What a joy to know You
Oh, the joy of knowing you, God
You’re everything to me
So wonderful, in all your ways, hey
All your ways
Amen
🙏🤗

    A truly uplifting reflection. It’s powerful how you’ve shown that God’s goodness is not just found in extraordinary moments, but in the quiet, everyday ways He sustains us. When we take a moment to reflect, His faithfulness becomes so clear. This was deeply inspiring—thank you for sharing.

      You’re right, it’s often in the quiet, everyday moments that we begin to see just how faithful God really is. When we slow down and reflect, His goodness becomes so clear.

      The switch from T’NaCH\Talmudic/Midrashic common law to assimilated Roman Statute Law during the Dark and Middle Ages of Goyim barbarism, anarchy and chaos – compares to the similar impact that the movable printing press likewise shapes and determines statute law religious off the דרך halacha to this very day. The Talmud refers this to a known ירידות הדורות-domino effect upon down-stream generations.

      My Kollel rav, rabbi Eliezer Wolfson from Jerusalem passed in 2025. He showed me a hand-written Baali Tosafot manuscript which differs from the printed Baali Tosofot commentary printed in the Vilna Shas. The latter writes מותר גניבת גוים whereas his hand written manuscript מותר גבינת גוים. The shift from discussing theft to cheese has important halachic implications, affecting the permissibility of various foods depending on their origin and preparation methods. In the 8th פרק daf 116b–117a of mesechta Chulllen, the Rif poskined that once a ruminant consumed something, it became פרשא בעלמא. Rashi disputed with the Rif ruling. But based upon the בכתב יד of rabbi Eliezer Wolfson, the Baali Tosafot supported the ruling of the Rif.

      Israeli dairy rations – built around availability, not ideal nutrition. Corn in general – nutritionally smoother, but not economically dominant. Corn – imported and expensive. The “switch” before Pesach — from a wheat‑based diet to a corn‑based diet — the former – a mixed ration that includes some wheat by‑products to a ration. While the latter attempts to eliminate all possible chametz sources. Israel’s dairy industry relies heavily on: wheat silage, wheat bran, gluten feed, local by‑products (citrus pulp, brewers’ grains, etc.), and imported corn grain and corn silage.

      Wheat silage involves moisture required to achieve fermentation. The most desirable fermentation occurs when silage has a moisture level of 55 to 70 percent, with 60 to 65 percent considered optimum. If silage – ensiled at lower than recommended moisture levels, it may undergo incomplete fermentation or be subject to heat damage and protein breakdown.

      The Israeli milk industry does not use corn all year due to its higher expense. Many European countries rely on imported GMO feed for livestock, including from the U.S., because non-GMO alternatives are often more expensive or unavailable at scale. If Israeli dairies fed a Pesach‑style ration all year, milk prices would rise significantly. The Pesach ration, a temporary, more expensive, less efficient formulation used only because halacha requires it.

      Corn starch ferments more slowly, which is good for rumen stability, but wheat by‑products add fiber, protein, and digestible energy at low cost. Israeli cows are fed TMR (total mixed ration) designed to balance rumen pH, so the risks of wheat are managed. The Pesach ration is a halachic workaround, not a nutritional upgrade. The industry would never choose the Pesach ration year‑round because it costs more, depends on imported ingredients, reduces flexibility in ration formulation, and removes valuable, cheap, local feed sources. Hence the Pesach ration – less economical, not more. Corn is used before Pesach because its non-chametz and safe from a kashrut standpoint. But nutritionally and economically, the normal mixed ration (with some wheat by‑products) is better for the rest of the year.

      The Israeli dairy industry does not switch feed because of the Rif–Rashi debate at all – even if the Rif + Tosafot would permit digested chametz. The issue ““Does digestion turn chametz into פרשא בעלמא?” not the reason for the rabbinic requirement to switch to corn prior to Pesach. Rather – a Jew may not own chametz during Pesach. Despite chametz eaten by a cow becomes halachically irrelevant, and even if the milk is unquestionably permitted … the feed itself remains chametz. And Israeli dairy farms — almost all of which are Jewish‑owned — cannot legally or halachically own chametz on Pesach. The mashbirim (feed suppliers) cannot produce chametz feed for Jewish farms during Pesach. Chag Pesach directly impacts the entire supply chain. Nontheless, if the Baalei Tosafot indeed support the Rif’s principle that digestion nullifies the issur, then milk from cows fed chametz would be halachically permitted, cheese made from such milk would be permitted, the entire gevinat akum discussion shifts, and many modern kashrut stringencies become unnecessary.

I’m Willie

Hello and Welcome to my Website.
My name is William Torres, but my family and friends call me Willie. It is a pleasure to be here with you today, and I am excited to share my faith journey with you.

My journey has been amazing and fulfilling as a new Christian. I have seen God work in my life in ways I never could have imagined. I have grown closer to my faith and have seen Him work in my life and the lives of those around me. I am truly blessed to call myself a Christian, and I am excited to continue to grow in my faith.

I believe that I have come a long way in life. Over the years, I have worked hard to become a better man, husband to Frances Torres, and father to our children. I have strived to be a good friend and companion to those I have been fortunate to build relationships with. I have learned to appreciate the small moments of joy and fulfillment that come with every human connection.

I began writing stories that I believe were inspired by the Holy Spirit. These stories are my testimonies about the different trials I have gone through, and how the Lord has helped me to overcome them. Through this process, I’ve discovered that I can forgive those I once vowed to never forgive, and in turn, my relationships with them have been restored. They are now a huge blessing and a special part of my life.

I hope that through my writing I can be a source of encouragement to other people in their faith and relationship with the Lord. I pray that those who read my words will be blessed by the Lord and find strength and comfort in His Word.

To be honest, I have had to come to terms with the fact that I am not perfect, but it is in this place of acceptance that I am able to truly worship a God who is. His infinite love brings me joy, strength, and peace, and I am thankful for the privilege of being able to serve Him.

I have also started a Social Media Ministry on Facebook, which I invite you to visit here. Being Crazy For Christ is a platform where I share my journey of faith, and I am also on YouTube – Willie Torres Jr. and I am excited to see all that God will do through it.

This is my hope, and I’m so thankful for it. I’m thankful for the love of Jesus, and I’m thankful for the chance to grow in Him together with you.

You Are Loved

Willie Torres Jr.
