Today I read a disturbing article (see clip below) about some so-called “Christian Warriors” who took the “brave step” of drawing the face of the prophet Muhammad onto a cookie and then eating it on camera. This should go down well…. What stupidity. Is that what it has come to in America-Babylon these days? Have we become “cookie-eating [...]

I heard the first part of a timely and sobering message tonight, and I thought it was worth posting here, chaverim. God has abandoned America to the effects of its sinful choices, and we are now reaping the whirwind….
Instead of reposting the text of the message here, you can read it for yourself and ask whether or not Dr. [...]

Kibbitz: It’s important to keep the distinction in mind between God’s faithfulness to the Jewish people, on the one hand, and His dealings with the secular (and often corrupt) government of the political state of Israel, on the other. This is not an “anti Semitic” statement…. God loves the Jewish people and has always reserved a remnant (she’arit Yisrael) for Himself. [...]
