Following the successful mission to strike Iran’s nuclear facilities, I opened our service this morning at First Baptist Dallas by addressing the momentous events that have captured the world’s attention. I reminded our congregation of a truth we must never forget—God stands with Israel, and so must we. Israel is not just another nation. It is the only nation created by God with a divine promise of endurance. When the world questions Israel’s right to exist or possess its land, the Bible answers unequivocally. That land was given to God’s people, and to strike Israel is to strike the apple of God’s eye. This week, as President Trump faced immense pressure from all sides, I sent him a personal message of encouragement and reminded him that millions of Christians were praying fervently for him. I told him, “Because we know you and who you are, we're going to trust and support whatever decision you end up making.” And he made the right one. Following those remarks, I invited our church to kneel together in prayer, and our Senior Executive Pastor, Dr. Ben Lovvorn, led us in a powerful time of intercession. We specifically prayed for: President Trump and his protection Our brave military The nation of Israel and Prime Minister Netanyahu God's continued blessing and protection over the United States But this crisis is not just political or military. It is spiritual. More Information Here: https://ptv.org/israel/
