The war in Gaza may be drawing to its bitter end, but what comes next could shape the Middle East for decades. President Donald Trump is positioning himself at the center of the effort to chart a post-war order, a move that has set off both intrigue and concern as to where this might be heading.
Forgiving a killer is not a sign of weakness, nor does it absolve the perpetrator of legal responsibility. On the contrary, it is a spiritually courageous act that frees the victim's loved ones from the corrosive grip of bitterness, anger, and hatred--emotions that can silently poison a heart long after the crime has ended.
For years, headlines and hashtags have trained Americans to equate Christian conservatism with extremism. Pro-life activists are "fascists." Parents at school board meetings are "terrorists." Traditional values are "hate speech." And now, a Christian funeral becomes a "Nazi rally."
Across social media, many expressed amazement that so many high-ranking administration officials would so clearly proclaim the gospel. "Every speech for five hours in a row declared Jesus Christ as our lord and savior. We've never seen anything like this". "It's quite possible we are now witnessing the largest singular proclamation of the gospel in all of human history."
Across the country, parking lots, campgrounds, and stretches of federal land are filling with something unexpected: families, retirees, and workers living full-time in recreational vehicles. What was once a symbol of summer vacations or road-trip freedom has become, for hundreds of thousands, the only affordable roof over their heads.
Those who support Palestinian independence would best put pressure on Palestinian leaders to create conditions necessary for achieving statehood--acceptance of the Jewish state, functional governmental institutions, a self-sustaining economy and an education system that teaches tolerance, rather than terrorism.
The Feast of Trumpets is nearly here (Sept 22), and across social media the anticipation is electric. Thousands of believers are posting videos, writing articles, and filling comment sections with one burning thought: Could this be the year the trumpet sounds and the church is caught up in the air?
Despite war, terror, and pressure from every side, Israel is not shrinking - it is thriving. Even more astonishing, tens of thousands of Jews from around the world have made aliyah (return to Israel) over the last year, answering a call that is both national and deeply spiritual. Why does this matter? Because every new family arriving in Israel is more than a statistic - it is another piece falling into place on God's prophetic timetable.
The apostle Paul warned that in the last days many would depart from the faith, "giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of demons" (1 Timothy 4:1). We often think of that passage in terms of obvious heresies or pagan practices. But today, those doctrines are not coming from temples of idols--they are coming from pulpits across America.
Israel's fight in Gaza is not just a battle of boots on the ground; it is a glimpse into the future of warfare. This week marked a turning point: Israel's Iron Beam laser defense system became operational.
