Pray For The Peace of JerusalemActs 131 Now in the church at Antioch there were prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen (who had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch) and Saul. 2 While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.” 3 So after they had fasted and prayed, they placed their hands on them and sent them off. _______________________________________________________New International Version (NIV) Holy Bible, New International Version®, NIV® Copyright © 1973, 1978, 1984, 2011...

Investigators looking into potential campaign finance violations by New York's mayor have been focusing on a series of text messages discussing a new Turkish consulate in the city, according to a report. Eric Adams had his cellphones and iPad seized on November 6. On November 2, the Brooklyn home of one of his top fundraisers had been raided by the FBI - a raid timed to take place while Adams was in Washington DC. Agents took from the home cellphones, laptops, and folders of documents. The inquiry is into whether Adams benefitted from Turkish connections, and whether kickbacks were given...

A Moscow appeals court has upheld a 19-year prison sentence for Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, who was convicted on extremism-related charges in August. Navalny, a fierce critic of Russian President Vladimir Putin, is already serving a 9-year sentence on fraud and embezzlement charges. In August, the court said Navalny had financed and incited "extremist activities" with his group the Anti-Corruption Foundation. The group was banned by Russian authorities in 2021 and labeled as extremist. Navalny has rejected the charges as politically motivated by the Kremlin in an attempt to silence him. (snip) The appeal was held in a closed...

When you look at an individual tile of a mosaic you see one solid color. But when you zoom out, you see the whole picture. In this age of rapidly developing sensational news stories, we try to understand each one, and it becomes overwhelming. Could this be on purpose? When average citizens are bombarded with news of crime, inflation, high interest rates, and foreign conflicts, often they shut down and withdraw. They focus on paying their bills and keeping their children safe. SNIP Realize that Israel is a distraction; the U.S. is the target.The October 7 atrocities were not a...

1. Getting high on marijuana while flying high on private jets Neumann had a penchant for pot, many former colleagues have said, and seemed to especially like to partake in marijuana while riding on private jets. 2. Mixing layoffs and tequila But sometimes alcohol and partying were mixed with work in thoughtless ways. One report said that just weeks after Neumann fired some 7% of his staff in 2016, he addressed the cost-cutting efforts during a somber all-hands meeting, saying it was tough but necessary and the company would be better because of it. He then, however, had employees carrying...

A concealed carry holder in Los Angeles who was forced to defend himself and his family in a terrifying shootout at his front door is demanding LA leaders prosecute criminals terrorizing law-abiding residents. "Every single person that I know has gotten stuck up," LA entrepreneur Vince Ricci told Fox News Digital this week. "It’s not normal." Ricci said he was returning to his gated Los Angeles home Saturday evening after hitting the gym when two armed men jumped his fence and tried to force their way into his home. "Out of nowhere, boom, I had a gun to my back....

For Moscow to finally let go of its imperial ambitions, it must lose the war it has been waging in Ukraine. As the history of the last few hundred years shows, this is the only way Russia will change. The idealogue at the head of Putinist Russia, Vladislav Surkov, has made his vision of an ideal Russia very clear. In his view, Russia is a country that “having stopped falling, has begun to rebuild itself and returned to the natural and only possible state of a great, growing and land-collecting community of nations." Surkov says that Russia makes "no promise"...

Less than 10 minutes into the new season of the hit Netflix reality show "Selling Sunset," two luxury real estate brokers are already complaining about a new tax on Los Angeles' wealthiest homebuyers. "This is going to be a nightmare for us," says veteran real estate agent Mary Fitzgerald. "We're just screwed." The city's so-called "mansion tax" was about to go into effect when the show was filming its latest season — and the high-end real estate industry was in a tizzy. The owner of one $26 million, 13,000-square-foot home the agents were trying to sell would have to pay...

The Biden administration was roasted this week after it unveiled an initiative offering Americans the chance to win thousands of dollars for submitting a video showcasing their electric vehicle (EV). The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) - which has pursued a regulatory regime that experts say will force more EV purchases in the coming years - announced the so-called "EV Video Challenge" on Tuesday, offering a total of $13,500 to Americans. Almost immediately after the announcement, the agency was hit with criticism and accused of hypocrisy. "How is the Biden Administration's push to mandate Progressive Lifestyle Choices working out?" the Alliance...

From the halls of Ivy to the Fourth Estate, once-respected institutions are revealing themselves to be at the forefront of efforts to upend the mores and conduct which make ours a civilized society worth defending against barbarism.

"He who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him" (Heb. 11:6). All who come to God in faith will receive the reward of eternal life. We've seen that without faith it's impossible to please God. And the first step in faith is believing that God exists. In addition, we must also believe that He answers our prayers—more specifically, that He redeems those who come to Him in faith. Scripture repeatedly tells us that God not only can be found, but also desires to be found. David said to...
