Evidence pointing to Palestinian terrorists intentionally setting Israel on fire is pouring in. From clear video evidence to arsonists caught with fire-starting materials in their possession, to verbal threats regarding burning Israel to the ground.

Meanwhile, Arab media and social media outlets are flooded with incitement to start more fires and do as much damage as possible. You can read more about it here.

Every single day brings more and more certainty that the battle raging in the Middle East is a spiritual battle as much, or more so, than a geopolitical one. The idea that some take joy in destroying another group of people, their land and their culture has no explanation other than pure evil.

Friends, it may seem far, far away in another part of the world, but be reminded that evil lurks everywhere and, if left to fester, will become overwhelming, as it is now in Europe. We must be serious about God’s Word and what God calls us to. The theme verses of this ministry come from Titus 2:11-13 and I leave you with this exhortation:

11For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men, 12instructing us to deny ungodliness and worldly desires and to live sensibly, righteously and godly in the present age, 13looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus.

Our great God and Savior will soon appear. Are we living sensibly, righteously and godly as we look for the blessed hope? Let’s be found faithful!
