After Barak Obama’s election as President of the United States speculators stated that our nation would be tested within six months by extreme Islamic forces. Since the inauguration we have transcended eleven months without incident but does that mean the threat is nonexistent?
Our nation’s involvement in World War I, II, Korea, and Vietnam all [...]

No One Wins
The Temple Mount in Jerusalem has been the site of Palestinian activity. While minor in scope at the moment, it could lead to yet another “Intifadah” uprising.
When these uprisings occur it obviously hurts Israel, but there is much damage done to the Palestinian/Arab side that goes unreported. The last Intifadah started by Yasser Arafat [...]

For years the Palestinian Liberation Organization operated within Jordan, unleashing brutal terror attacks across the border into Israel.

It is not at all far fetched for Jerusalem to be pressured to surrender the Golan Heights to Syria [...]

All That Glitters is Not Gold

Personally this troubles me because I believe the [...]

A Tragic Pattern
In Genesis 25:24-34 we read the account of two brothers born and their different personalities that would ultimately lead two nations in completely different directions.
Jacob eventually overcame his shortcomings and continued the line of blessing from Abraham and Isaac.
Esau on the other hand was noted for his carnality that cost him his birthright and [...]

Random Gunfire
The city of Phoenix has been plagued by a phenomenon called “random gunfire” where people shoot their handguns into the air many times causing severe wounds even death requiring law enforcement to take extra measures for protection.
Random gunfire is not new to the area of Gaza, Hamas or to the civilian populace on the Israeli [...]

ISRAEL UPDATE
The rockets that have continually fallen on Israeli civilian population centers since August 2005 have never received the media attention that Israeli actions against terrorist’s stronghold have in the past week.
United Nations officials are pressing for intervention to protect Palestinian civilians at the present again with nary a peep during the past three years plus [...]
