Children Are Their Oppressors
Leading up to the U.S. election on November 6, many commentators predicted that young people wouldn’t turn out to vote like they did in 2008.

Tensions along Israel’s borders are running high. Hamas has fired more than 140 rockets from Gaza into southern Israel over the weekend, and on Saturday four Israeli soldiers were injured after militants from Gaza hit their patrol jeep with an anti-tank missile.

Petraeus Resigns as Questions Remains About Benghazi
It’s been two months since the terrorist attack in Benghazi and still many questions remain unanswered.

Election Day and the Timing of Hurricane Sandy

Watch Jerusalem
Jerusalem is where Jesus Christ was crucified and then resurrected, and it’s also where He will soon reappear on this Earth. But before that, as so many prophecies point out, the conflict over this city will actually ignite a war that will engulf the entire world. From now on, as Herbert W.
