DATELINE ISRAEL

IMPORTANT VICTORY FOR MESSIANIC BELIEVERS In a landmark decision today, the Supreme Court of Israel ratified a settlement between twelve Messianic Jewish believers and the State of Israel, which states that being a Messianic Jew does not prevent one from receiving citizenship in Israel under the Law of Return or the Law of Citizenship, if one is a descendent of Jews on one's father's side (and thus not Jewish according to halacha). This Supreme Court decision brought an end to a legal battle that has carried on for two and a half years. The applicants were represented by Yuval Grayevsky and Calev Myers from the offices of Yehuda Raveh & Co., and their legal costs were subsidized by the Jerusalem Institute of Justice. All twelve of the applicants were denied citizenship solely based on grounds that they belong to the Messianic Jewish community. Most of them received letters stating that they would not receive citizenship because they "commit missionary activity". One of the applicants was told by a clerk at the Ministry of Interior that because she "committed missionary activity", she is "acting against the interests of the State of Israel and against the Jewish people". These allegations are not only untrue, but they also do not constitute legal grounds to deny one's right to immigrate to Israel. This important victory paves the way for persons who have Jewish ancestry on their father's side to immigrate to Israel freely, whether or not they belong to the Messianic Jewish community. This is yet another battle won in our war to establish equality in Israel for the Messianic Jewish community just like every other legitimate stream of faith within the Jewish world.

One Flaw In Women

(you will see what it is in the end)
Women have strengths that amaze men.
They bear hardships and they carry burdens,
but they hold happiness, love and joy.
They smile when they want to scream.
They sing when they want to cry.
They cry when they are happy
and laugh when they are nervous.
They fight for what they believe in.
They stand up to injustice.
They don't take 'no' for an answer
when they believe there is a better solution.
They go without so their family can have.
They go to the doctor with a frightened friend.
They love unconditionally.
They cry when their children excel
and cheer when their friends get awards.
They are happy when they hear about
a birth or a wedding.
Their hearts break when a friend dies.
They grieve at the loss of a family member,
yet they are strong when they
think there is no strength left.
They know that a hug and a kiss
can heal a broken heart.
Women come in all shapes, sizes and colors.
They'll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you
to show how much they care about you.
The heart of a woman is what makes the world keep turning..

They bring joy, hope and love.
They have the compassion and ideas.
They give moral support to their
family and friends.
Women have vital things to say
and everything to give.


HOWEVER, IF THERE IS ONE FLAW IN WOMEN,
IT IS THAT THEY FORGET THEIR WORTH.
Please pass this along to all your women friends
and relatives to remind them
just how amazing they are.
YOU REALLY ARE AMAZING !!!

"The Call" Jerusalem 2008

Jerusalem Post - May 14, 2008

Some 5,000 Israelis and visiting Christians attended "The Call" worship conference in Jerusalem on Sunday, with many describing the event as an earthshaking experience.
A solemn assembly based on Joel 2, The Call was started in the United States in 2000. Since then several conferences have taken place across the US and the world.
But this was the first time the event was held in Israel, and it came at a significant time in the country's history, coinciding with the 60th anniversary of the modern Jewish state.
Lou Engle, who is the visionary and co-founder of The Call, said he once had a casual attitude toward Jerusalem, but during his time here, his perspective shifted. "We're not coming for a tour. We're coming to the very throne," said Engle.
Engle and his group couldn't have come at a better time. Just 48 hours later, in the very place where thousands of believers had just worshipped and God's Spirit to descend on Israel, the "kings of the world" assembled for Shimon Peres' "Presidents' Conference" to determine Israel's place in the new world order they envision.
The Call and the prominent participation of Israeli Messianics in the event will be covered in greater detail in the June 2008 issue of Israel Today.

Letter to Gov. Mike Huckabee

04/26/2008 Letter to Gov. Mike Huckabee

This week marks a major historical breakthrough in exposing the greatest human tragedy in our nation. The video in the article below made me cry at the huge loss we have endured. Even though I have known these things and have spent many years informing people about the value of each human life as you Sir, have also. I am more than grateful it’s finally being exposed.
Collectively, we as Americans are all guilty and should know better than to cut up or burn alive human beings in the safety of a womb or anywhere else. Only insane or unintelligent animals kill their young.
I have talked to many, even Christians, who believe its right to kill an unwanted child, especially those conceived out of rape or incest. But the Bible says, a child should not die for his fathers sins. 2Kings 14:6, 2Chron 25:4, Ezek 18:20
We have allowed the teaching that the most important thing in life is to be sexually attractive and have money to pay for our pleasures. If anyone gets in the way (baby), get rid of them.
Every child is a wanted child. Killing almost 50 million has forced childless Americans to adopt outside the US. It's brought undocumented foreigners to work our jobs and send money to their foreign relatives. Our people who weren’t allowed to be born, would have been doing these same jobs while contributing into our Tax and Social Security system.
Now, after 41 years of legal Abortion (some States began in 1967), there isn’t enough money for many of us to retire in our old age. Most likely the future plans for Population Control activists are already written to program the American people in accepting the wholesale slaughter of our Elderly through Euthanasia, particularly in Minorities. This was what Hitler did.
We the people of the United States of America, need to STOP the AGE discrimination no matter what race. This starts with each one of us to make a difference by keeping the horror of Abortion, tampering with Human Embryos, and Euthanasia on the forefront.
God cannot bless America, while the Blood of the Innocent cries from the ground as did Abel's, when his brother Cain killed him and the land was cursed. Gen. 4:10-11.
Jesus said we would know a person by the results of their work (fruit). Your continuous voice for our tiny citizens and their families throughout your campaign, along with your courage and ability to pass a Right to Life Amendment in the State of Arkansas marks you as a true Hero and a champion, defending the innocent and weak. And America thanks you. God bless you Gov. Huckabee.

Israel Celebrates It's 60th

Israel Celebrates It's 60th
by Mike Huckabee

This week one of the strongest friends of the United States celebrates its 60th birthday. Over the past 25 years I have traveled to Israel nine times and watched this nation and it's people grow. Israelis should enjoy this celebration of their nation’s independence. In recent years, no nation has faced more obstacles, or had to deal with more hardships than the State of Israel. The fact that Israel and its people have not only persevered, but also prospered, speaks loudly about the character and courage of Israel. The world should join in the celebration with great pride in the accomplishments of the people of Israel. Let us all pray that peace will come to this region of the world, and that Israel and its people will continue to prosper now and in the future.

Mother Teresa- Washington D.C. 1994

Speech of Mother Teresa of Calcutta to the National Prayer Breakfast, Washington, DC,February 3, 1994

I was surprised in the West to see so many young boys and girls given to drugs. And I tried to find out why. Why is it like that, when those in the West have so many more things than those in the East? And the answer was: "Because there is no one in the family to receive them." Our children depend on us for everything - their health, their nutrition, their security, their coming to know and love God. For all of this, they look to us with trust, hope and expectation. But often father and mother are so busy they have no time for their children, or perhaps they are not even married or have given up on their marriage. So the children go to the streets and get involved in drugs or other things. We are talking of love of the child which is where love and peace must begin. These are the things that break peace.
But I feel that the greatest destroyer of peace today is abortion, because it is a war against the child, a direct killing of the innocent child, murder by the mother herself.
And if we accept that a mother can kill even her own child, how can we tell other people not to kill one another? How do we persuade a woman not to have an abortion? As always, we must persuade her with love and we remind ourselves that love means to be willing to give until it hurts. Jesus gave even His life to love us. So, the mother who is thinking of abortion, should be helped to love, that is, to give until it hurts her plans, or her free time, to respect the life of her child. The father of that child, whoever he is, must also give until it hurts.
By abortion, the mother does not learn to love, but kills even her own child to solve her problems.
And, by abortion, the father is told that he does not have to take any responsibility at all for the child he has brought into the world. That father is likely to put other women into the same trouble. So abortion just leads to more abortion.
Any country that accepts abortion is not teaching its people to love, but to use any violence to get what they want. This is why the greatest destroyer of love and peace is abortion.
Many people are very, very concerned with the children of India, with the children of Africa where quite a few die of hunger, and so on. Many people are also concerned about all the violence in this great country of the United States. These concerns are very good. But often these same people are not concerned with the millions who are being killed by the deliberate decision of their own mothers. And this is what is the greatest destroyer of peace today - abortion which brings people to such blindness.
And for this I appeal in India and I appeal everywhere - "Let us bring the child back." The child is God's gift to the family. Each child is created in the special image and likeness of God for greater things - to love and to be loved. In this year of the family we must bring the child back to the center of our care and concern. This is the only way that our world can survive because our children are the only hope for the future. As older people are called to God, only their children can take their places.
But what does God say to us? He says: "Even if a mother could forget her child, I will not forget you. I have carved you in the palm of my hand." We are carved in the palm of His hand; that unborn child has been carved in the hand of God from conception and is called by God to love and to be loved, not only now in this life, but forever. God can never forget us.
I will tell you something beautiful. We are fighting abortion by adoption - by care of the mother and adoption for her baby. We have saved thousands of lives. We have sent word to the clinics, to the hospitals and police stations: "Please don't destroy the child; we will take the child." So we always have someone tell the mothers in trouble: "Come, we will take care of you, we will get a home for your child." And we have a tremendous demand from couples who cannot have a child - but I never give a child to a couple who have done something not to have a child. Jesus said. "Anyone who receives a child in my name, receives me." By adopting a child, these couples receive Jesus but, by aborting a child, a couple refuses to receive Jesus.
Please don't kill the child. I want the child. Please give me the child. I am willing to accept any child who would be aborted and to give that child to a married couple who will love the child and be loved by the child.
From our children's home in Calcutta alone, we have saved over 3000 children from abortion. These children have brought such love and joy to their adopting parents and have grown up so full of love and joy.
I know that couples have to plan their family and for that there is natural family planning.
The way to plan the family is natural family planning, not contraception.
In destroying the power of giving life, through contraception, a husband or wife is doing something to self. This turns the attention to self and so it destroys the gift of love in him or her. In loving, the husband and wife must turn the attention to each other as happens in natural family planning, and not to self, as happens in contraception. Once that living love is destroyed by contraception, abortion follows very easily.
I also know that there are great problems in the world - that many spouses do not love each other enough to practice natural family planning. We cannot solve all the problems in the world, but let us never bring in the worst problem of all, and that is to destroy love. And this is what happens when we tell people to practice contraception and abortion.
The poor are very great people. They can teach us so many beautiful things. Once one of them came to thank us for teaching her natural family planning and said: "You people who have practiced chastity, you are the best people to teach us natural family planning because it is nothing more than self-control out of love for each other." And what this poor person said is very true. These poor people maybe have nothing to eat, maybe they have not a home to live in, but they can still be great people when they are spiritually rich.
When I pick up a person from the street, hungry, I give him a plate of rice, a piece of bread. But a person who is shut out, who feels unwanted, unloved, terrified, the person who has been thrown out of society - that spiritual poverty is much harder to overcome. And abortion, which often follows from contraception, brings a people to be spiritually poor, and that is the worst poverty and the most difficult to overcome. (Read More)
