*Iran ridicules Obama’s “cowboy” nuclear strategy

This morning I woke up to read an AP story about the  White House decision “to remove terms such as ‘Islamic radicalism’ from a document outlining national security strategy.” It never ceases to amaze me how many in Washington don’t understand the threat of Radical Islam to the U.S., much less the Biblical command to bless Israel and her neighbors in the name of Jesus. But I believe the Church must.

Only 80 days remain until the 2010 Epicenter Conference, which will be held on June 25-26 at the Kimmel Performing Arts Center in Philadelphia. Given how close Iran is to getting the Bomb, the mounting threats to the U.S. and Israel, the increasingly unfriendly attitude of the Obama administration towards the Israeli government, and the growing international effort to delegitimize the Jewish State, I believe this is going to be the most important Epicenter Conference we’ve ever held, and I hope you will join us either in person, or via a live webcast. 

Here are the latest details.

• The 2010 Epicenter Conference will be webcast live in its entirety, and pastors are invited to sign up to show a high-resolution version of the webcast to their congregations. Please click here for more details.
• The Epicenter Conference website has a new section called “Joel’s Video Blog.” Please click here to find a series of videos explaining the details about this conference, as well as inviting you to come to Israel in May of next year for the 2011 Epicenter Conference in Jerusalem.
• We believe the most impactful way for you to experience the Conference will be to join us in person in Philadelphia. Please click here to register and reserve your seat today.
• We’ll begin a series of 6 radio interviews today promoting the Conference and inviting people to attend and for congregations to sign up for the webcast. Five of the interviews will be taped for airing over the next few days, but I’ll be on KKLA in Los Angeles tonight live with Frank Pastore at 4:58pm Pacific. 

ALSO: Please be sure to read my interview with Iranian Pastor Hormoz Shariat on the miracles God is doing inside Iran today, if you missed it a few days ago. If you’re in the San Jose area, please be sure to sign up to come to the event Hormoz and I are doing next Tuesday night, April 13th.
