He was 16 years old, and you couldn’t help being drawn to him. He was articulate and extremely personable ‒ intelligent beyond his years and markedly confident, but without arrogance.

The apostle Paul so passionately desired that his Jewish brethren receive Yeshua’s Good News that he was willing to wish himself accursed in exchange (Romans 9:1‒5). These Scriptures and more effective...

As troops continued to destroy Iran-backed Hezbollah terror tunnels on Israel’s northern border during the waning days of 2018, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was busy shoring up Israel’s eastern flank on the Mediterranean. He met with the heads of Greece and Cyprus to develop cooperation strategies concerning energy, defense and technology. “We share deep histories and rich culture,” Netanyahu told the leaders of those countries. “We are all vibrant democracies.
