What’s the reason for churches’ lukewarm approach to God’s Chosen People? The Friends of Israel President …
Like a composer conducting a symphony, Jesus perfectly orchestrated all the events leading up to His death for the sins of the world. It is important that we take note of our Savior’s intentionality in each action He took on the night He was betrayed by Judas and led to the cross. In the latest issue of Israel My Glory …
The Rapture is one of God’s greatest scriptural promises to us. It provides great hope and comfort for believers who look to heaven and await the day the Lord will descend to meet believers in Jesus—both those dead and alive—in the air and bring them to heaven with Him.

In part 2 of our series on God’s glory, we take a look at a healthy fear of and love for it. King David maintained …

Scripture shows that His glory is not an abstract concept—it’s His substance, His physical presence. Chris kicks off a 3-week series on God’s glory beginning in the …

Our May/June issue of Israel My Glory magazine provides a …
