Glenn Beck: Modern-day Balaam?

‍‍30 August 2011 - 30 Menahem Av 5771
photo by Gage SkidmoreAnd the Angel of the LORD said unto Balaam, “…thy way is perverse before me…” — Numbers 22:32 I don’t pay too much attention to TV and radio pundits. They often make me cringe.

U.S. literally shakes; Israel ponders who her friends are

‍‍28 August 2011 - 28 Menahem Av 5771
God says in Hosea 4:6 that his people die because they lack knowledge. Knowing world events clues us in to where we are on the Biblical, prophetic time line. News should prompt us to pray for two things: that the eyes of the lost and deceived are opened to God’s love as expressed through the [...]

‘There is Good News in Israel’

‍‍17 August 2011 - 17 Menahem Av 5771
