“This week’s recognitions do nothing, in practice, to give the Palestinian Authority more capacity or shore it up against Israeli aggression,” argues Shira Efron.
Israel Can No Longer Wish Palestine Away
But symbolic statehood is no panacea for the Palestinians.

Reflection 🤔 on life is vital and good. Matt21:28-32 Jesus calls us all to ‘change our minds and believe.’ Heaven will have loads of people who don’t appear ‘religious,’ but reflected, changed their minds and did as the Father asked. Spend a minute thinking today 😇🙇💭📖✝️🫰

Easter is about the END of FEAR ✝️😇👍✝️ Yay😀. Hebrews 2:14-18 “through (his) death Jesus destroyed the devil”. Jesus played Satan at his own game on his own playing field, and destroyed him! No more temptation to be afraid of what happens after death ☝️🙏😀 This weekend is very Good News. Enjoy.

We often think that ‘great big’ faith is needed (Lk17:5) & knowing ‘when’ Jesus will return will help us (v.20). BUT Jesus insists that what is really needed is genuine faith, and perseverance (18:1). Don’t be tempted by might & signs (17:23). Pray & hang in there. God is big 🙏😇✝️💟🌏🔥🙏

I bought my wife a beautiful bunch of flowers on February 13th. I was so pleased to nail such a gift before Valentine’s Day. When I presented them and said “Happy World Radio Day” she seemed slightly underwhelmed 😝 #wrd2025 #worldradioday #valentinesday 🌍 📻 🎙️📱😇

Wow @gzurlo.bsky.social Thank you. Real data is so cool. It seems ALL people and religions have #nationalists, and North American #christians are not the only ones! Nor the biggest proportions. Who knew?!
I get asked about global religious nationalism a lot. New study from @pewresearch.org out!
NEW PEW RESEARCH REPORT:
Muslim nationalists in
Indonesia 46%
Turkey 11%
Hindu nationalists in
India 24%
Christian nationalists in
Kenya 32%
US 6%
Jewish nationalists in
Israel 9%

What was the Apostle Paul’s #hope? The there will be a #resurrection! ✝️ Acts24:15,21. For us? All this world, and all ourselves will be renewed, recreated, made new & perfect! #Jesus is our only #rescuer and giver of innocence 🙏🙏. Who doesn’t want renewal? Resurrection?!

💯 It is such a beautiful truth. And #obedience wells up from #love and #reverentfear, #delight and #awe and #hope. And out of this state we #obey and our lives become an offering. Rom12:1-2. Thank you @timkellerdaily.bsky.social

Agree 💯. Teach and inspire young people (all ages) to read, think, pray, & interpret the Bible for all its worth. Much better than spoonfeeding. 😇👍🙏✅
To be clear, I’m saying students don’t need teen-targeted content. They’re more than capable of interacting with Scripture as adults (and with adults). Devotionals can slow or sabotage their developing Bible literacy because devos spoon-feed. Give them tools to learn the Bible & form a study habit.
Parents of teens, before you buy them a teen devotional or teen Bible study, read this: www.thegospelcoalition.org/article/teac...

What does it mean to you, that s/one places their hand on the #Bible and makes a #promise? Since AD1789 🇺🇸 presidents have done so symbolising commitment to #God? #truth & #duty. This sacred text calls for moral #responsibility & reminds of divine #accountability! Gen24, Deut6. Yikes! Think carefully

Great reminder from Acts 11:21 for #AD2025. “many #believed and #turned to the Lord.” Following deep conviction we must choose to turn ourselves around. Spiritually and wholly twist towards #Jesus saying Yes Lord. Daily practice - ‘I turn to you Lord.’ and do it. Believe and enjoy. ✅🙏👍😇✝️

3 amazing promises for us in #AD2025 from Acts 10: God hears your #prayers! He sees & remembers your #generosity! He shows NO partiality but accepts you who #revereHim. This year pray, be generous, turn to Jesus constantly 😇🙏🤲👍✝️✅ #nopartiality #enjoy

More wisdom from Job for #2025 ‘As surely as sparks fly upwards, people face trouble.’ Job 5:7-8. Answer? #appealtoGod, #commityourcause before Him. He performs #unfathomablewonders. The idea here is to ‘frequent’ steps towards God. Make AD2025 a year of turning to & trusting Jesus with your #stuff

Job’s faith & self control are a great model 4 us 😇 2:10 “Shall we receive good from God, & shall we not receive adversity?” This life is a mixture. It is not as it should be. Evil will be destroyed. Follow Job & “hold fast to integrity” 2:9 😇🙏👍 #integrity #holdfast #job #god #goodfromgod #AD2025

Remember in AD2025, the man #Job teaches us a great lesson: Naked in, naked out! Life is a zero sum journey where faith & faithfulness in God are the main things to accumulate, not possessions, wealth or personal fame. #naked #lifephilosophy #God #zerosum

Remember the goal for all of life: to delight in the love, favour & grace of God! Malachi 1-4. Do not let weariness win 1:13. Wait for the Great & Awesome Day 4:1-6. It is worth it 😇👍🙏☝️✝️💟🔆✅🚮🔜🕛

Psalm19 is a great paradox! The heavens declare, proclaim, pour out speech. But no words or voice is heard! vv1-6. Creation 🌍 shouts of a Creator. But people & Bible are needed. vv7-11. Outreach, broadcasting 🎙️ & evangelism are the speech words & voice to complete the comms v3. #febc #love #jesus

Wow, Communion 🍞 is a more thorough event than I truly realised. Physical, Emotional, & Spiritual 🙏 We get up, walk forward, eat, & drink. Think, remember, recall, consider. Exercise faith, believing what we remember, & trust Jesus for the promises of God poured into us @the cross. And celebrate 🙌🏼
