Heart to Heart With the Other Half
Peace in the Storms of Life
As Believers we have this hope: no matter what is happening in this world or in our lives, we have an anchor that can bring us in from beyond the veil into the presence of God. The Hope of our salvation, Jesus, is also the center of God’s plan, which is a Master Plan. The […]

The Biblical Roots of Today’s Middle East Conflicts
What are the biblical roots of the Middle East conflicts today? Jealousy and insecurity, which lead to rage, make up the ancient root. Ishmael’s insecurity came from focusing on who he wasn’t instead of on who God made him to be. Scripture declares, “God was with him.” Yet in his mind, Ishmael obsessed over not […]

Free Indeed
In the Middle East, grudges last not for years, but for generations. For example, the Crusades are still remembered with intensity by some groups, although they occurred long ago.

Our Ways Are NOT His Ways
Looking out at the calm Mediterranean Sea, it is not immediately apparent that dangerous conflicts are just below the surface… in the ocean of ideas and philosophies of men. Just as 200,000 rockets threaten tiny Israel, flaming arrows of deceit threaten Western Christianity, striking at the heart of the Believers. In an attempt to be […]

Greetings from Katharine in God’s “Hometown”!
What a journey this has been. Although we have been to Israel many times, this tour has been outstanding. Zola Tours attracts the nicest pilgrims! We had so many earnest questions and sincere Believers with us that it was a joy to minister among them. It was particularly special to be with Sandra on our first Zola […]
