The Church’s Cozying to Islam
In many cases the Church's cozying to Islam appears to be proportional to its disdain of Israel and Zionism. Of course, not every church falls into this category. But it is becoming fashionable. Some resources now report a decline in evangelical support for Israel in America. There was an era when theologians … [Read more...]
