A Tale of Resilience and Suffering in Tel Aviv War is never kind, and its ripple effects are often felt far beyond the battlefield. The recent conflict in Tel Aviv, as chronicled through missile strikes, terror attacks, and military operations, is a stark reminder of the horrors of war and the toll it takes on both soldiers and civilians.  As Israel marks 361 days of war, the country finds itself grappling with an escalating conflict that spans across its borders, reaching the hearts of its cities and the lives of everyday people. This is not just a military war—it's a psychological, emotional, and existential battle for survival. The missile attacks from Iran on October 1st, 2024, are a perfect example of how war can disrupt the ordinary. On that day, 181 ballistic missiles were fired at Israel, targeting Tel Aviv, Herzliya, and other central regions. While Israel’s Arrow defense system intercepted most of them, the few that got through caused widespread panic, injuries, and damag...

Christian Romance Books, Not Just Romance Books Romance books are a genre of literature that primarily focuses on the relationship and romantic love between two people. These stories often explore the emotional and relational dynamics of love, typically leading to a satisfying, optimistic ending. Romance novels may cover a wide range of subgenres, including historical, contemporary, fantasy, or inspirational (such as faith-based romance), and they often highlight themes of commitment, personal growth, and emotional intimacy. The central plot revolves around the development of a romantic relationship, with various challenges, conflicts, or misunderstandings being resolved as the story progresses. Faith-based romance novels have a unique role to play in shaping a believer's appreciation of what faith-based romantic love should be.  They give us the opportunity to illustrate love in its purest form–sacrificial, patient, and anchored in something far greater than ourselves. In a world...

Why Christian Storybooks Are Essential for Today’s Kids. In today’s rapidly evolving world, parents face an increasingly difficult challenge; how to raise children in a society that is not always aligned with their values. With the prevalence of social media, the internet, and peer pressure, the task of instilling strong moral values in children has become more complex.  As a Christian parent, I'm particularly concerned about how to ensure my kids grow up with a foundation rooted in faith, compassion, and integrity. From my experience while growing up as a teenager, apart from having a senior role model to offer guidance and help in important decisions, an equally powerful tool that can aid in this endeavor is the humble Christian storybook.  In an era where distractions abound, Christian storybooks still stand out as a simple yet profound way to teach and inspire children, helping them navigate life’s complexities with wisdom and grace.  Unfortunately, there aren't enoug...

In the quiet of the night, where shadows creep, A woman knelt in silence, her soul to keep. Her knees pressed firm against the floor, Her heart poured out, her spirit sore. But still, she whispered prayers so deep, While others rested, lulled to sleep. She prayed with fervor, prayed with might, Through storm and trial, through darkest night. She knew not the battle she silently fought, Or the unseen hands her prayers had caught. The heavens stirred, the angels bent low, As through her words, power began to grow. The verse was clear, the promise true, "Effectual, fervent prayers break through." She spoke of love, of grace, of peace, And in those moments, battles ceased. But not by sword or shield or flame, But by the whispered power of His name. Demons trembled, shadows fled, As angels guarded her tear-streaked bed. She did not see the war unfold, But prayed for peace and strength untold. For every plea, every tear she shed, The gates of hell were pushed back instead. "Pr...

  What is Education? In a broad sense, education should be the holistic development of individuals, equipping them with knowledge, skills, values, and critical thinking abilities to thrive in society. It should go beyond mere academic learning, encompassing emotional, social, ethical, and physical growth, fostering curiosity, creativity, and problem-solving skills. Education should prepare individuals to be responsible, compassionate, and adaptable citizens who can contribute meaningfully to their communities and the world, while encouraging lifelong learning and a sense of purpose. At its core, education should nurture the potential within each individual, helping them discover their strengths, think independently, engage with diverse perspectives, and make informed decisions in an ever-changing world. The Role of the Bible. The Bible plays a significant role in the education of a child, particularly in shaping their moral and ethical foundation. It offers timeless teachings that ...
