On This Fifth Anniversary of 911
 
I pray for America’s protection from her enemies.
 
I pray for the Church to wake up and face its failings and responsibilities.
 
I pray for worldwide revival and spiritual awakening, for without Jesus, peace is not possible.
 
I pray for the nations of the world to wake up and realize that their hatred and persecution of the Jewish people and the land of Israel is the primary reason they are facing a deadly menace in their presence called...

Let me start by explaining that I have been plagued with computer problems that are still in the process of being resolved, and so I have not been able to publish much lately. I had done a lot of work updating my web site, and before I could get it uploaded to the server my main computer gave up the ghost so to speak. It is in the shop right now, and I hope I haven't lost my hard drive,...

I want to thank all of you who sent donations to help the soldiers.
Even though the war ended prior to many checks arriving, I am using the funds to purchase giftbaskets for soldiers who have been wounded and/ or disabled. They will be received in a gathering in Eliat in the next couple of weeks. Please rest assured that I used none of these funds for my own personal use. 100% of everything that is given to me for a...

The Only True Answer for Peace in the Middle East
 
I have been meaning to publish this story for the last two weeks and haven’t had the time. So here it is short and sweet.
 
Two Shabbats ago, our congregation hosted another congregation of Lebanese Christians who had fled Lebanon in 2000 as Israel pulled out. They were staying in Jerusalem to avoid the crisis in the north of Israel where they now live. We have done this with various Lebanese and...

This past Shabbat (Saturday) and Yom Rishon (Sunday), I traveled the northern border of Israel with my friends Miki and Yishai, visiting the troops, giving them food and gifts, and encouragement.
 
I was also able to take my guitar and play several praise and worship songs and share with them about the Lord and biblical prophecies that we are seeing fulfilled. Most were very interested, but in the heat of this battle, they were also worried and plagued with doubts.
 
Shabbat...

Update on the Northern Cities and Food Delivery to Shelters
 
Yesterday I went to the northern cities of Naharia, Karmiel, Tiberius, and Beit Shean on a food delivery to various shelters. The conditions are heart wrenching.
Upon arriving in Naharia, you couldn't help but notice that even though it was well into rush hour, there were no cars moving, no people on the streets, and the stores were all closed. Many had their fronts blown out of them and had been boarded...

Where are the supply lines? You Can Help!
 
My first question when I heard that Israeli soldiers were without food and water was "Where are the supply lines?" I couldn't believe that an army as well trained as the IDF would not establish supply lines for their soldiers.
 
I have been talking with various people on the scene, and friends with IDF experience and they have explained the situation to me more completely.
 
Of course the IDF sets up supply lines for...

Focus Iran – Islamic Domination First, and Then the World.
 
Iran has a vision, a purpose, and the present dictator Ahmadinejad is leading Iran full speed towards its destiny.
 
Hezbollah was the brainchild of the former Ayatollah Khomeini. The name means "The Party of God" and has as its emblem a raised machine gun in the clenched fist of a jihadist warrior. This should give an astute observer an idea of what kind of god they serve. Hezbollah has since become the...

 
I received an e-mail a little while ago from a friend who had heard that the Israeli soldiers are going without food or water, and only a couple hours of sleep at a time. Not long after I received a phone call from two friends who are at the crossover point for Israeli soldiers into Lebanon right now  distributing some food parcels that I provided through the organization that I work for. They confirmed that some supply lines had been broken...

I have been wanting to write over the last few days about the dangers I see with the proposed International Peace Keeping Force that the U.S. State department is trying to push as the solution to the present ongoing war. The following article by Caroline Glick however fairly well sums it up.
One last word on Mel Gibson. It was not my intention to get sidetracked on this issue, and I have been criticized for attacking Mr. Gibson, and on the...

I want to thank Steve Schultz from the Elijah List for sending me the following public apology from Mel Gibson. I can hear in Gibsons words a truly repentant and sorrowful heart.
I pray that he will have his eyes opened and his heart and mind healed. I would love to be able to sit with him and read through the bible. I hope that the Holy Spirit will use this opportunity to bless Mel Gibson and to give him...

It dawned on me that many people may not know what I was referring to when I spoke of Mel Gibson in my previous reports. Below is the original story.
 
Gibson's Anti-Semitic Tirade -- Alleged Cover Up
Posted Jul 28th 2006 9:15PM by TMZ StaffFiled under: Celebrity Justice, Mel Gibson
TMZ has learned that Mel Gibson went on a rampage when he was arrested Friday on suspicion of drunk driving, hurling religious epithets. TMZ has also learned that the Los Angeles County Sheriff's...

An astute reader sent the following question, and I thought I would pass along my response so that I might clear up any confusion.
Q: 'Please explain further the meaning of "I'm so glad he is the representative of the Christian world to the unbeliever L." in your last message.'
A: The L was a mistake, it did not belong there. As for the statement, I was being sarcastic. I can forgive a man for struggling with alcohol, and even for harboring anti-Semitic feelings....

Is Isaiah 17 about to be fulfilled?
 
 
Since returning to Israel on Shabbat, I have been doing a lot of catching up, and the reality of what is happening here is devastating.
 
I was surprised while in the U.S. to see some positive coverage favoring Israel, but I noticed before I left that the tide seemed to be turning against us as is generally expected. The European media however is vitriolic in their attacks on Israel, ignoring facts, and presenting us...
