Here’s a new one! I’ve heard frequently that every time the United States takes a stand against Israel there is a disaster of some kind.

I am kind of surprised this one hasn’t come up before. It arrived a couple days ago from a dear friend in Louisiana so let’s get to it: Sunday night we were looking at the parable of the dishonest manager in Luke 16:1-9.

This question came from a recent listener to my God at War series (yes, we used the title Gregory Boyd had for his book. We also gave him credit for the title and much of the research we referenced). They end up almost answering their own question. Are there ways to distinguish, or at least [...]
