2+ hour, 1+ min ago (670+ words) Tour guide Levi Simon takes ALL ISRAEL NEWS correspondent, Oriel Moran, around Tel Arad in Israel's Negev Desert, explaining what we can learn from the Bible and archaeology. "The Jews were wandering through the desert and the king of Arad goes to attack the Israelites and stops them in their way," he begins. "Then God actually makes a promise to the Israelites that he will destroy the cities of the Canaanites: "When the Canaanite, the king of Arad, who lived in the Negev, heard that Israel was coming by the way of Atharim, he fought against Israel, and took some of them captive. And Israel vowed a vow to the Lord and said, "If you will indeed give this people into my hand, then I will devote their cities to destruction" (Numbers 21:1-2). Like the Amalekites who attacked the Israelite survivors…...

4+ hour, 5+ min ago (345+ words) ABUJA (Worthy News) " A Catholic priest remained missing in northern Nigeria Thursday after being abducted from his residence in Kaduna State, Worthy News learned. Emmanuel Ezema was taken late on Tuesday, around 11:30 p.m. local time, from St. Peter's Catholic Church in Rumi, said the Catholic Diocese of Zaria.

"We call on all men and women of goodwill to pray for the safe and quick release of our priest and others from the hands of their abductors" may our brother and others return to us safe and sound," added the Catholic…...

4+ hour, 26+ min ago (271+ words) December 7, 2025 by David and Robin Watters Reading: I Kings 7, Psalm 99 Key Verse: 2 Cor 12:10 I take pleasure in weaknesses" for when I am weak than I am strong Our God truly is the king of the universe. (Ps 99:1) He gives strength and wisdom to those he tasks with doing your work! Let us praise His great and awesome name. His name is holy! (Ps 99:3)" If God could enable Huram to be able to cast that pillar, and all those amazing articles of the temple, He can certainly use us to do His work here in PNG." All too often our God is too small! 2 Cor 12:10, when I am weak then HE is strong. Therefore, I glory in my weakness, so that the power of Christ can work through me! (2 Cor 12:9) What an incredible privilege. To look back and genuinely say, "That…...

4+ hour, 35+ min ago (219+ words) December 7, 2025 by David and Robin Watters Reading: Isaiah 37:1417; Mark 8:110 Key Verse: Isaiah 37:16 " "O LORD of Heaven's Armies, God of Israel, you are enthroned between the mighty cherubim! You alone are God of all the kingdoms of the earth. You alone created the heavens and the earth." Why do we hesitate"or even resist"doing hard things? Whether it's a difficult task, exercise, or a hard conversation, we often believe the lie: "I can't do this because" Fear of consequences holds us back. We worry someone may be offended, upset, or (for me) maybe they will leave the mission field. Conflict feels too heavy, so we avoid the hard thing. But God calls us to lay our burdens before Him, trust Him, and then step forward in His strength to do what He asks. Together, these passages remind us: the hard…...

5+ hour, 5+ min ago (204+ words) December 7, 2025 by David and Robin Watters Reading: Psalm 96; Isaiah 35 Key Verse: Isaiah 35:3 " "With this news, strengthen those who have tired hands, and encourage those who have weak knees." Do you have tired hands? Do you feel like your knees may just give out if things continue going as they are? I have had times since taking this role that I have had "tired hands," and "weak knees." Both are vivid pictures of discouragement. Psalm 96 lifts our eyes from weakness to God's greatness: In Isaiah 35 God paints a picture of hope for his people when they were discouraged. Isaiah uses these words to "Strengthen those who have tired hands, encourage those who have weak knees" (Isaiah 35:3 God's glory and salvation are the antidote to tired hands and weak knees. He reigns, He saves, He restores. His Kingdom WILL come, and we…...
