Are you holding fast to the Word of life? Are you revealing your desperation for the Bible by making it a priority to read it on a regular basis, both individually and as together as a family? Are you daily seeking to learn something new from the Scriptures? Do you follow what the Bible teaches regardless of the financial, emotional, or relational cost? Do you believe the Bible is sufficient to live a victorious spiritual life? Do you believe the Bible is the voice of God without error? Do you believe the Bible has authority over you? Do you hold fast to the Bible when everything in you during a trial screams at you to rely on your own wisdom? Do you believe you will have more joy and peace by following Scripture? Do you believe you live in a “crooked and perverse generation” that by necessity demands you hold fast to God’s Word? Are you standing firm in no way overcome by your trials because you are fully relying on the promises of God?

JERUSALEM SOLUTION WOULD CURB TERRORISM: SAUDI DEFENSE MINISTER

JERUSALEM SOLUTION WOULD CURB TERRORISM: SAUDI DEFENSE MINISTER

Agency France-Presse reports: ?Saudi Defense Minister Prince Sultan bin Abdul Aziz said Monday a solution for Jerusalem would deny terrorists a chance to use this problem, which concerns all Muslims, as a pretext for terrorism. ?A solution of the Jerusalem issue, which is of concern to all Muslims and not just Arabs, would put an end to terrorism? by third parties ?trading? with this issue to serve their own agenda, Sultan told the Kuwaiti daily as-Siyassa in an interview also carried by the Saudi Press Agency (SPA). The Saudi defense minister was apparently referring to chief terror suspect Osama bin Laden, who has vowed that the Americans would not have security so long as the Palestinians did not enjoy the same in their homeland.

Stressing the importance of east Jerusalem’s al-Aqsa mosque for Muslims around the world, Sultan said the Mitchell Report, which the Palestinians had agreed to implement, could serve as a prelude to ?extinguishing the fire of the war that has been raging for over 50 years? between the Arabs and Israel. Sultan said the US administration had ?a deep understanding of the historic relationship? between Riyadh and Washington, but the kingdom was being criticized by other sides — an apparent reference to US media — who had their own agenda. ?Those who attack us are agents? of parties seeking to block a just solution to the Palestinian problem and the Jerusalem issue, Sultan said??
