The harvest is white in Israel. People are looking to God for answers, and the body of Messiah is expanding all the time. This applies to both Jews and Arabs—everyone has been affected by the war. With all this harvest to bring in, where are the workers? ONE FOR ISRAEL

“Enter by the narrow gate, “ Jesus encourages us. “For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it

Psalm 91 begins like this: He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. יֹשֵׁב, בְּסֵתֶר עֶלְיוֹן; בְּצֵל שַׁדַּי, יִתְלוֹנָן. Dwelling in the shelter of the Most High, abiding in the shadow of the Almighty. The word “beseter” (בְּסֵתֶר) means in the secret

Does the New Testament turn a mere man into God? This is what New Testament critic Rabbi Daniel Asor thinks: “The Bible rejects pagan idolatry that revolves around human-like gods, men as gods.” Correct. In the pagan cultures of the East, gurus climb up a religious ladder until they get to the highest step of becoming a god. This is idolatry without
Over the last years, the rabbis in Israel have been working hard to challenge and attack the New Testament’s credibility. We decided to collect and summarize for you their ten most famous “contradictions”. Enjoy! Contradiction #1: Rabbi Yossi Mizrahi claims: “How can it be that
