Samaritan’s Purse Provides Ambulances in Honor of Fallen Israeli Medics

Samaritan’s Purse President Franklin Graham joined hundreds of Israeli citizens on Jan. 23 to dedicate 14 new ambulances for Magen David Adom, the nation’s emergency medical services provider. Graham honored the sacrifices of 19 members of Magen David Adom who have been killed since Oct. 7, the start of the current Israel-Hamas war. “We don’t always understand why these things happen—why tragedy happens. But we have faith in God and know that He loves us,” Graham said, addressing the families of four fallen medical personnel. “We pray that these ambulances will bring comfort to the people of Israel, knowing that […]

We Can Do More And Better

I often ponder; where do I start? That’s how I start most days, setting priorities. My reflex response when asked “how am I today?” or “what’s new?” You know, greetings people exchange with one another. My response is generally, “Another day of opportunity!” I’ve been saying that for decades. Why is that? Is it honest, or is it boastful some may think?  Should I care? Each day is another opportunity. God allowed me another day of rest and another day to begin again. I feel accountable. This is how I approach life and 2024. We start off life learning how to walk and learning how […]

Don’t Be Afraid!

“Jesus took with him Peter, James and John the brother of James, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. There he was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as the light. Just then there appeared before them Moses and Elijah, talking with Jesus. Peter said to Jesus, ‘Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you wish, I will put up three shelters — one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.’ “While he was still speaking, a bright cloud enveloped them, and a voice […]

New Year’s Solution

The late Walter Matthau acted in or produced 62 movies in his 45-year career. These included “A Face in the Crowd”, “Hello, Dolly”, “The Sunshine Boys” and “Fortune Cookie”, with which he won the Academy Award as Best Supporting Actor. A man of multiple talents, he is best known in his later years for work such as “Grumpy Old Men”, “The Odd Couple” and “Dennis the Menace”, in which he played a curmudgeonly, cantankerous, ill-tempered sourpuss. For many of us, the movie that encapsulated this carefully crafted persona was “The Bad News Bears”, where he became Morris Buttermaker, an alcoholic […]

Rising Antisemitism in America and the Need to Stand against It

Israel’s people long for a better world with peace in the Middle East. But the resulting wave of antisemitism that swept across the globe after Israel legally responded to the barbaric attacks on innocent civilians on October 7 shattered their dream of acceptance by the family of nations. Since the war began, hate crimes against Jews in the United States have skyrocketed. On social media, antisemitic messages of hate for Jews have overwhelmed messages of support for the Jewish people. At universities across the United States — which should be a safe place for all students to learn — anti-Israel […]

How Christians Are Helping Israel in Their Most Severe Hour of Need Since Israel’s Founding 75 Years Ago

Just days after Hamas terrorists attacked Israel on October 7, torturing and killing more than 1,400 innocent civilians and taking roughly 240 hostages to Gaza, the Ethics and Religion Liberty Commission issued an evangelical statement in support of Israel. In it 2,000 Evangelical leaders said they “fully support Israel’s right and duty to defend itself against further attack”— and though theological perspectives on Israel and the church among those leaders vary, the signatories were unified in their stance. The support Israel has received from the Christian community since the war began, in large part through organizations like the International Christian […]

Prutention

I have grown a deep fondness for words and their meaning. I have found that when I savor words and understand their context, their origin and their usage, the impact is thought provoking, moving and sometimes very revealing. I find the mystery can be worthwhile. Words make us laugh, cry, think, re-think, learn, become angry, grow and act. We must also be very careful with words. Sometimes what one person believes to be the meaning of a word can be very different for another person. Disagreements can erupt from the misuse or misunderstanding of words. Words can be used to […]
