THE WAR OF WORDS

Discussed by Alex Traiman
with Jewish News Syndicate (www.jns.org/)

TRUE OR FALSE: Israel has been committing genocide inside Gaza.

Alex Traiman is the CEO and Jerusalem Bureau Chief at the Jewish News Syndicate. Today, he shares what you won’t hear in the MSM. He shares the TRUTH.

Click here to read the op-ed from the Jewish News Syndicate on this topic.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Reminder: What happened on October 7, 2023?

When did the war of words against Israel begin?

Does the IDF go to great lengths to protect ALL civilians – including Hamas members? Alex reveals that the IDF has lost its own military members trying to warn Hamas and those living in the Gaza of potential threats and danger. What other military in the world does that? None!

Has UNICEF’s own figures contradicted claims of widespread malnutrition among children in Gaza?

What is the legal definition for genocide? Does this definition directly contradict the claim that Israel is committing genocide against Gazans?

Why is the MSM so blinded to the truth? Alex believes it’s not just simply being blinded – they are actually complicit!

Is Hamas considered to be a “genocide force” by intent?

Is Hamas a classic case of wrongdoers projecting their own dreadful sins onto others?

While defending its citizens, Has Israel conducted an exemplary, just, and moral war?

IS AMERICA A PRODIGAL COUNTRY WANDERING IN THE DARKNESS?

Discussed by Pastor Ed Ethridge – Retired

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Can we ignore the darkness that is so pervasive throughout our land? Pastor Ed reminds us that we are to be the light, not the darkness. God saved us to be the Church – so proclaim it loud and proud!

Does the Bible talk about the times in which we live?

Has there been a drastic shift in Hollywood over the past 50-60 years regarding morality and Christianity in television, music, and movies?

Has God changed His mind about what a sin is? Pastor Ed believes that everyone – not just pastors – must look to the Scriptures for guidance and the truth.

Why does God rely on ordinary, sinful men and women to spread the Gospel?

Does God still inspire pastors to preach the Word and the Truth?

Can God use each and every person for His good and His glory? If you have questions about God, Jesus, or salvation, please feel free to contact Pastor Ed, click here.

THE TEN COMMANDMENTS EXPLAINED

Discussed by Pastor Brent Johnson

Day 1

WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THE TEN COMMANDMENTS? DO YOU KNOW ENOUGH TO TELL OTHERS ABOUT THEM?

Pastor Brent Johnson concludes the special summer series for the Biblical Literacy Lesson at Champion Forest Baptist Church. The series has featured various Scripture passages that are familiar, but the presenter taught them in a brand-new light.

This week, Pastor Johnson reminds us of the purpose and meaning of the Ten Commandments through the hands of Moses, Jesus, and Paul.

QUESTIONS / ISSUES DISCUSSED:

THE TORAH IN THE HANDS OF MOSES

We all know that Noah had an ark, but did Moses have an ark, as well? Was he saved by his “ark”?

What did Luke write in Acts 7 about Moses and where he obtained his knowledge of God?

Why did Moses wander in the desert for the first time?

What was up with the burning bush? Was it really that big of a deal?

Merciful and Mighty Father,

Accept this plea from your humble servant.

Have mercy on my soul. Guide my thoughts, my plans, and my actions.

Today, I choose to follow your precepts and to walk the road of righteous living.

Plant my feet between your guardrails and make my path straight.

Throughout this day, may I be busy sharing the Good News.

Father, you are my God and I am your child. May all I say and do bring honor to your name.

And if you grant me tomorrow, let’s repeat.

All for the cause of Christ, in whose name I pray,

Amen and Amen.
