The denomination Presbyterian Church USA has labeled Israel as an apartheid state. Like other Christians, we must stand against this label.
From CBN News. The governing body of the Presbyterian Church USA on Friday recognized that the laws, policies, and practices of the government of Israel concerning the Palestinian people, “fulfill the international legal definition of apartheid.”

The resolution passed in a 266-116 vote during the church’s biannual General Assembly (GA), which took place in Louisville, Kentucky and online.
The decision was met with criticism by numerous Christian groups.
Rabbi Eric J. Greenberg, director of United Nations Relations and Strategic Partnerships for the Simon Wiesenthal Center (SWC), called the measure, “an insult to Jews and Christians alike which damages interfaith relations….”
Officials with The Wiesental Center argued that PCUSA leaders “rigged” the resolution, also known as an overture, by giving church members false and misleading information….
Prior to the vote, the American Jewish Congress (AJC) labeled the resolution as “unjust” and “just plain wrong,” then encouraged the GA to reject the resolution….
The activist group Presbyterian for Middle East Peace (PfMEP) pointed out that the resolution breaches PCUSA’s own policies….

Lord,
We understand that this is all according to Your Word, which was set in place before the foundations of this world. We pray, however, that as this evil tries to abound, that Your saving grace abound much greater. We pray for all this evil to start such a massive revival in this land that the gates of hell can not prevail against it. Let people’s eyes in the Presbyterian Church be opened, and let them seek out new places of worship that honor You and Your people. We pray for the peace of Jerulsalem.
Father, protect your people Israel from disinformation to us about them. May we in the United States hear truth and support your people. Protect Israel from the enemies that surround them and want their destruction. Bless Israel with your Spirit to draw them to you.
Matthew 23:1-36

Woes to Scribes and Pharisees
(Luke 11:37–54)
v 27 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside, but on the inside are full of dead men’s bones and every kind of impurity. 28In the same way, on the outside you appear to be righteous, but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness.
That says it all. Bring their plans to nothing Lord and show Your glory that all may see and believe.
Dear Lord please silence the lying voices telling these things to the people. Just as they have misrepresented your word on many platforms as hate speech. Lord please protect those who believe the truth of your word. Show the lies and misleading words to the masses. Bring revival to our land once again. God Bless America. God Bless your people.
