Not everything on these sites affirms or agrees with my beliefs or has my endorsement. But the material, in my opinion, is very important to preview. Blue titles are hot links.
Be'Ad Chaim (Pro Life) [ www.beadchaim.org.il ]
The Be'ad Chaim Association stands for "the protection of the woman and unborn child" and "promoting the sanctity of life." Founded in Israel in 1985 by "Bible believers," the group now provides crisis pregnancy centers in Jerusalem, Beer Sheva, Tiberias, Kriyot, Nazareth, Ashkelon and Netanya. They provide hot-line services, free pregnancy tests, counseling, and post-birth assistance, such as clothing — and emotional support. Their phone in Jerusalem: 972-2-6242516.
Jewish World Review [ www.jewishworldreview.com ]
In the conservative Christian world, Jewish thinkers and spokesmen often appear to be monolithically liberal and unreligious—if not totally ir- and anti-religious. This isn't so. JWR is proof that not all Jews are on the Leftist, Israel-hating, Fundamentalist-Christian-hating bandwagon. JWR draws commentary from several sources, Jewish and Christian. Some of its writers spotlight liberal Christianity's mad avalanche into anti-Semitism that speaks behind a pious guise of humanitarian concern for abused Muslims.
Persecution [ www.persecution.org ]
Official site of International Christian Concern. The site details incidents of persecution of believers in Jesus/Yeshua around the world—primarily in Muslim and Communist countries. Muslims are killing innocent Christians (not military personnel) on a regularly basis, but there is little notice given among Western intellectuals, media, and mainline Protestant churches. The leaders of Islam express no outrage when Christian school children are beheaded in Indonesia or burned to death in Darfur. The site is information and action centered.
Ravi Zacharias International Ministries [ www.rzim.org ]
Because he was born and raised in India, Ravi Zacharias brings unique experiences to his faith in Jesus. As a successor to the late Christian intellectual Francis Schaeffer, RZ is an ardent and articulate apologist for the uniqueness of Jesus and the Biblical faith. He attacks the Post-Modern "mood" that truth is relative and self-defined, that all gods are equal and equally satisfying. His book Jesus Among Other Gods argues that "[a]ll religions . . . cannot be true. . . . [T]ruth cannot be sacrificed at the altar of a pretended tolerance." He also notes that "Jesus was not western." In this RZ can bolster Messianic believers in their efforts to free Jesus (Yeshua) [and themselves] from the guilded stage sets and entertainment palaces of Western Christianity, and bring Him home to Eretz Yisrael.
Thinking Outside the Blog [ http://thinkingoutsidetheblog.blogspot.com/]
Louis Lapides is a long-time Messianic Jew from New York, who until recently pastored a Messianic congregation in Los Angeles for some 30 years. He now has a blog, which is filled with warm, hot, blunt, sharp, and serious and helpful insights into today's religious and political worlds. His mind is not on anyone's payroll. His is a voice outside. But he seeks to speak from within the whole of Scripture.
The Vineyard [ www.thevineyard.org.au ]
This unique Messianic outreach was founded by the late Hebrew Bible scholar Dr. Lawrence Duff-Forbes of Australia. The website offers free MP3s of his original 14 minute radio programs entitled Treasures From Tenach. Collections of the same messages are also available in booklet form. The Vineyard — now headed by Mark Warren and Joy I. Hunting — publishes a monthly magazine in English or Russian, with articles by various writers. The website also has 100s of photos from Israel and thus provides mini-cyber-tours of Ha'Aretz.
