Speaking at Moody Bible Institute’s chapel on “Three Threats To America, Israel & The Church In The Mideast.”
It was an honor to be on the campus of Moody Bible Institute in downtown Chicago in early September. Several weeks ago, at the invitation of Dr. Paul Nyquist, president of MBI, and Dr. Michael Rydelnik, a professor and head of the Jewish Studies Program, I was invited to teach a class on the Holocaust, another class on modern Israeli politics and society, speak on an evening panel on “Israel & The Gaza Conflict,” tape two programs for Moody Radio. I also had the joy and honor of addressing the student body — some 1,600 future Christian leaders — one morning at chapel.
- Here are my notes for the address I delivered: “Three Threats Facing America, Israel and the Church in the Middle East.”
- Here is a link to the video of my address at Moody, if you would like to watch it online.
An excerpt:
Followers of Jesus Christ who love Israel and understand God’s Biblical plan for Israel must not be blind to the suffering in the Arab, Iranian, and Muslim world….nor deaf to their cries for help…..nor dull to the terror and tyranny they face.
We are witnessing a Radical Islamic offensive across the Mideast, from Gaza to Syria to Iraq.
Leaders in Washington and across the world have been slow to see, and slow to act.
But the Church must step up. We serve the King of glory. Our King was born in the epicenter. He died and rose again in the epicenter. He is coming back to the epicenter — and He’s coming soon.
So we must help our brothers and sisters who are being persecuted in the Middle East. We must show Christ’s love and compassion to Jews, Muslims and Christians in the epicenter.
