It is a darker world today than it was a year ago.
Charlie Allen, Chief Intelligence Officer
Department of Homeland Security
Last month, we covered the overall strategy the United States followed in much of its foreign policy and the origins of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. We also covered the current situation in Iraq. In this article we will explore the situation in Afghanistan and a major player in the Middle East, Iran.
So far in our Kingdom, Power and Glory study, we have learned that the way we live our lives here and now will have dramatic consequences in the coming Millennial Kingdom. In other words, what we do after we have been born again affects our role, our position and our place in the future reign of Christ. This coming kingdom is not heaven, but a literal kingdom that will exist back on earth for a thousand years where Jesus Christ will rule and reign.
(Be careful not to confuse what happens in the Millennium with what occurs in heaven at the end of the thousand years, because they are two different realms.)
All believers will be “with” Christ in the coming Millennium, but only the “overcomers”—only the ones who constantly recognize their choices and choose to turn around and follow Christ (1 John 1:9)—will inherit “levels of responsibility” in that kingdom. So not only our rewards, but also our place of responsibility in the future kingdom will be won or lost according to our faithfulness in this life. Our life here is simply the training ground for the next life there.
Consequently, there is an urgent need in the Body of Christ for a renewed recognition of our own accountability and a refreshed understanding of the reason for our salvation—not only to be conformed to the image of Christ here for a witness to others, but also our “inheritance in Christ” in the future. Philippians 3:12 tells us we need to apprehend (or understand) that for which we have been apprehended by Christ.”
We conduct 3 tours a year: the Berean Tour, the Talmidim Tour and the Issachar Tour
Israel Tour Update: The Berean Tour and Talmidim Tour dates are now back-to-back. You can participate in both tours while just paying for one airfare (plus land packages for both tours). Simply email sharon@khouse.org for further information.
The Berean Tour is our “Walk Through the Bible” tour. We walk where Jesus Walked, we pray where Jesus prayed and we stand where He performed miracles. This journey through the Holy Land will make the scriptures come alive. Truly an incredible trip.
The Talmidim Tour will provide you the opportunity to put feet to your faith as we seek to incarnate Genesis 12. This Tour will combine TOURING, STUDYING as well as WORKING hard on some much-needed projects!
The Issachar Tour focuses on modern Israel and her struggles. Besides visiting amazing biblical sites, this trip will provide private briefings that have previously included briefings and Q & A with members of the IDF, Mossad, the Shin Bet, as well as members of the Knesset.
Our Current Tour Schedule: Berean Tour: May 8th - 18th, 2010 (in Israel May 9th - May 17th) Talmidim Tour: May 18th - 29th, 2010 (In Israel May 19th - 28th) Issachar Tour: 2010 - Details not yet available
