The Marvel of Bird Migration in Israel An electric blue flash—turquoise and sapphire plumage as rich as Joseph’s coat of many colors, against a backdrop of emerald green—signals the flight of a Kingfisher hunting from its perch above the Jordan River. Spring has arrived in Israel, and with it comes one of the most breathtaking

Dictators were dead or deposed, Al-Qaeda was on the run, and Iran was under crippling sanctions for their nuclear program. Iran’s top ally, the Syrian regime,

In fact, we are inundated with requests from hundreds of Jewish people who suddenly

Recently the P5 +1 (USA, China, Russia, United Kingdom, France plus Germany) were meeting with Iran and making decisions that could have

A piece of a prayer that at one time was meticulously set onto papyrus by a scribe, this is one of more than 200 ancient biblical objects that fill a hall in the Bible Lands Museum in an exhibit titled “The Book of Books,” where visitors come face-to-face with almost 2,000 years of history.

Thousands were without electricity for up to four days].

The staff in each of the four schools in the network is equally balanced between Arab and Jewish principals and teachers. Every class is co-taught by teachers from both languages, and respect is the guiding principle.

But science teacher Amir Yechieli, saw the disaster as a chance to save the day. Yechieli had studied storm water runoff in the Sinai Desert for a master’s degree.

{image_1}“Constraining Iranian uranium enrichment”—try saying that three times, fast. If saying it is hard, imagine how tough it is to actually constrain it. And what does it even mean? If you don’t know LEU (low-enriched uranium) from WGU (weapons-grade uranium) and can’t distinguish fissile material from missile fuel, then here’s a crash course on Iran’s path to nuclear weapons. If you’re a well-informed expert who knows Arak from Fordo, then here’s a “one stop shop” to summarize Iran’s nuclear program. Most importantly, we’re here to help answer the most crucial question: When and how can Iran get the bomb?

I was in the United States and Canada when the P5 +1 (USA, China, Russia, United Kingdom, France plus Germany) were meeting with Iran and making decisions which could have drastic impact on the State of Israel. South African Christians are greatly concerned about the stance their government has taken toward Israel and they are not alone. Many Christians are concerned that their country will be judged by God for their actions against Israel (Joel 3).

Called seeker-sensitive, the churches employing this model phased out certain worship styles or messages which could be offensive to the hearers, particularly those of the younger generations. Depending on the church, the changes could be merely cosmetic or deeper involving avoidance of church doctrines that might be offensive. Sin, judgment and holiness became off-limits subjects in many churches. Crosses were removed from the walls of some churches.
