Think on this: “The goal of this command is love, which comes from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith. Some have wandered away from these and turned to meaningless talk. They want to be teachers of the law, but they do not know what they are talking about or what they so confidently affirm… “I give you this instruction in keepong with the prophecies once made about you, so that by following them you may fight the good fight, holding on to faith and a good conscience. Some have rejected these and so have shipwrecked their faith.” (I Timothy 1:5-7, 18-19)
Pray on this: Father protect our children from leftists that would destroy them spiritually, morally and even bodily. Deliver them from the liberally accepted anti-Semitism which is so fashionable in liberal secular academia today. Grant them discerning grace that they might see how destructive are the anti-Israel and anti-Zionists voices today. Build your army of volunteers who will stand with Israel no matter what. In Jesus name, AMEN
Oh, another blest sentiment from your fervent heart, Jim…
What makes it beat with such a ‘right-to-left’ cadence?
{Sentiments like these continue to compel us to think Godly thoughts after Him.
None of us has anything with which to befriend the G-d Head. But conveying care for what He ESTEEMS, VALUES, CHERISHES seems a matter of simple compliance, doesn’t it?}
In light of eternity… (illumined by NER TAMID – “eternal light”)
You know Jim that I was an American academic myself before I was priveleged to be an Israeli academic. In fact, I am soon to be teaching deep in the west bank if I am chosen to be on the faculty. I know all too well what you are speaking about and I could not survive in that school. I thank G-d every day that I am in Israel that I had the merit to learn to become a Rabbi and keep my Israeli academic job. In any case, it is also clear that the US will certainly become as bad as Europe did for the Jews, it is the only way that Jews will learn that they need to be in their homeland. G-d will save the remnants, even if there are only 2 left in the world, He will bring them to salvation. Of course G-d and I suppose you also, wants to save as many as possible, but I am not ready to write off all the liberal Jews. Let’s give the US one great chance to chase them out and maybe they will get the hint from above that they belong HOME. We should all pray that they will make it here before they become victims of the next innevitable blood-bath that will purge the sins of those remnants who actually make it.
Indeed you are blessed to be teaching on a different side of the ocean! Blessings to your work
Our world is getting ‘crazier’ all the time, and I, for one don’t want to stand before Almighty
G-d and for Him to tell me that I was against His people, the Jews. After all, Jesus Christ was Jewish, and He is my Savior, so why under G-d’s Heaven would I turn my heart against the Jewish people? It really bothers me that the world is so against G-d’s land, Israel. I am a Christian and I pray almost every day for the Peace of Jerusalem and all of Israel. My husband & I visited Jerusalem 6 years ago, and I was so overwhelmed that everywhere we went, I found myself weeping. If we had the money, we would go back to visit Israel again. However, as it stands I can only visit in prayer for that land.
