Throughout Scripture and history, there have been severe consequences for the lack of recognizing the importance of Israel, God’s chosen people and nation. Here is what Greg Laurie says in his book “Signs of the Times” : Looking into the future of the Jewish race, God told the Patriarch Abraham, “I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse those who curse you.” And so it has been through history. Every nation that has risen up to strike
Responding to a question from Bret Baier [this month at the Republican candidates’ first debate] , one of the evening’s moderators, Kentucky Senator Rand Paul, who favors eliminating all U.S. foreign aid, said, “Each one of my budgets has taken a meat axe to foreign aid….” When asked if that would harm Israel, Paul said, “…even Benjamin Netanyahu said that, ultimately, they will be stronger when they’re independent.” Baier followed up by asking: “But you still say that Israel could
The coming alliance between Russia and Iran represents one of the pivotal points in Bible prophecy. We’ve seen them flirting with one another for years, but it is now becoming something more. Last week, the second most important man in Iran visited Russia. It wasn’t the president, Hassan Rouhani. It was the leader of the notorious Quds Force, General Qassem Soleimani. First of all, why did Vladimir Putin want to see the terrorist-in-chief of the world’s chief terrorist nation? Second,
Planned Parenthood doesn’t want women to know the abortion pill may be reversible. That’s why they sued Arizona to block the CAP-supported law requiring that women are informed of this potentially life-saving procedure. Yet in another brazen attempt to hide the truth, Planned Parenthood has taken an unprecedented step to withhold the facts from a Federal District Court. Since this provision was introduced at the legislature, the pro-abortion community has been calling the Abortion Pill Reversal “junk science.” Yet doctors
Over the last few weeks, I have spent a great deal of time discussing the recent “deal” the Obama administration has made with Tehran’s mad mullahs regarding their mad dash for nuclear weapons with which to attack both Israel and the U.S. If you’ve seen those Reports, you realize that I’ve not been telling you what you’ve heard in the mainstream media, but what you have NOT heard! Which is really the most important stuff. […] During the [Senate Armed
In a single day last month, three American institutions — the New York Stock Exchange, United Airlines, and the Wall Street Journal — experienced devastating computer “outages” (hacks?). Each of these represent major pillars of the U.S. economy. In June, the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) revealed that it had been the target of a very sophisticated and protracted hack exposing the private information of millions of federal employees. Then later, OPM reported that it had suffered another computer
In his article, “Jesus’ Surprising Use of Parables“, John Koessler (chair and professor of pastoral studies at the Moody Bible Institute in Chicago) shows how the parables Jesus spoke were specially designed to reveal the truth of His mission to some while actually hiding it from others. In his gospel, Mark writes (Mark 4:11-12): He [Jesus] said to them, “The secret of the kingdom of God has been given to you. But to those outside, everything is in parables, so that although
While President Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry were praising the pact as historic and comprehensive, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was making multiple appearances on Iranian television. He loudly and publicly claimed that the deal would not deter Iran one whit from its goals of spreading terror across the world and working toward the annihilation of Israel — and eventually the United States. In fact, he was so arrogant in his taunting of Obama and the United
Last week, the P5+1 nations, plus Germany and the EU reached an agreement with Iran on its nuclear program. No surprise here. Iran got everything it wanted and we got nothing. Israel got less. That’s because this agreement, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), virtually makes impossible any future Israeli military strike against Iran’s nuclear program. But it did not take Israel out of Iran’s crosshairs. This week [please click here for video – this article begins about 9-minutes in],
from A.D. The Bible Continues: The Revolution That Changed the World [2] When the Sanhedrin demanded that Peter stop preaching about Jesus, Peter shot back a telling question: “Do you think God wants us to obey you rather than him?” (Acts 4:19). At some point today, believers will face this question as well. And as Western governments drift further away from godly principles, it will be something we face more often and with more serious consequences. Christ made it clear
Desperate for a legacy, with a complicit Secretary of State desperate for a Nobel, the President made a deal with the devil. More precisely, I suppose, the mullahs of Iran. As of this writing, we’re not sure we know all of the details of this pact, but from what we do know, this is on par with Chamberlain’s historic surrender in Munich that led directly to World War Two. Don’t laugh. We’ve just told another nation — one that has
What if you were fined $135,000 tomorrow because of your convictions? What would that mean for you, your family, and their future? And then, you were ordered to be silent. This scenario played out for Melissa and Aaron Klein, owners of Sweet Cakes by Melissa. In 2013, Rachel Bowman-Cryer and her mother came in for a cake tasting where she shared with Aaron that there was no groom but instead two brides. Aaron then explained that he would not be
