Confronted at every Turn

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 [...]

Third Time, Is It The Charm?

For years the Palestinian Liberation Organization operated within Jordan,  unleashing brutal terror attacks across the border into Israel. After continually suffering from Israeli reprisal raids and watching the PLO violate the laws of his country, without remorse, King Hussein unleashed the “Black September” campaign and his army drove their Palestinian brothers out in a [...]

Caught in the Process

Does the language of the Peace Process really mean anything in the reality of what is actually happening?

For instance, when liberal politicians dominate the landscape,  Israeli settlements are defined as a “natural expansion”.  But the same settlements are defined as “obstacles of peace” when conservatives are in control.

The two nation solution is actually now a [...]

Irony

When a two hundred kilogram bomb intended for former President Jimmy Carter which had been placed by an al Qaeda cell was defused, death was certainly avoided.

Ironic, Carter who was in Gaza holding sympathetic talks with Hamas would be targeted by a radical terror group. Carter is said to have wept over the [...]

While the world continues to demand more concessions from Israel consider instances that, although not a large scale operation, shows just how tough the struggle is.

Which Side Are You On?

The Israeli settlements are in reality residential communities planted all over Israel conceived to help provide an extra measure of security for the Jewish state against terrorism.
Of course, as controversial as they are they cannot help the situation if they are being dismantled, the citizens dispersed and the terrorists such as Hamas are allowed to [...]

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 [...]

Don’t Push the Issue

I know there is much media both in and out of Christianity talking about signs of the Apocalypse and questioning where we are and how long before it happens.
The information I have been receiving the past week certainly lets me know we are taking some gigantic steps toward the end. World leaders are now proposing [...]

Turn for the Worse

The shepherds made their living in fields in and around Bethlehem as they nurtured and protected the flock of sheep in their custody.
Of course the road from Jerusalem to Bethlehem was not safe for travel when we read about the man that fell among thieves but was saved by the Good Samaritan, Luke 10:30-37.
My last [...]
