In light of the grotesque attack on Israel by Hamas, I want to repost my conversation with reknowned Israeli historian Dr. Benny Morris.
Already we are hearing apologists claim that Israel had this coming––that 75 years of colonial oppression is bound to result in an equal and opposite reaction.
Most of the people who say this have no understanding of the relevant history. That is why I did this episode with Dr. Morris: we walk systematically through the history and ethics of the Arab-Israeli conflict from the 19th century to the present. Please listen to the episode with an open mind and share it with your friends.

From my reading this morning
1 Timothy 6:11 But you, man of God, flee from all this, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness.
What do I need
… to run away from today?
… to chase after?
It depends upon whether my priority is me … or God?
If you are a dad, tell your kids this weekend (and often)
You love them.
You believe in them.
You are proud of them.
You will always be by their side as long as you live.
My prayer for you today
2 Thessalonians 2:16–17, May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope, encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good deed and word.
Colossians 1:13-14, For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins!
Why this opportunity? Jesus said to His newly appointed apostles, Luke 10:8, …freely you have received; freely give.
Blessings equal opportunities. We all have received … so we all have the opportunity to give, be generous, help, encourage, to be a channel of God’s blessings.
I love America, but please don’t fall for the lie of Christian Nationalism. As Christians we are committed to Jesus Christ, not our country. This is atrocious.
