By defending Apollo Quiboloy--who is accused of sex trafficking of children, Sara Duterte has lost all moral grounds to lead the Department of Education. Educators should ask her to resign as DepEd secretary.

It takes a thought to heal a thought. It takes a right belief to replace a wrong belief. You need God’s truth to replace the enemy’s lies that have kept you in bondage.
Personal Thoughts:
(not for everyone, feel free to skip)
For the longest time, I struggled with my identity.
A Palestinian kid born inside Israel. Like…wtf.
Many of my friends refuse to this day to say the word “Israel” and call themselves “Palestinian” only.
But since I was 12, that did not make sense to me.
So I decided to mix the two and become a “Palestinian-Israeli”
I thought this term reflected who I was.
Palestinian first. Israeli second.
But after recent events, I started to think.
And think.
And think.
And then my thoughts turned to anger.
I realized that if Israel were to be “invaded” like that again, we would not be safe. To a terrorist invading Israel, all citizens are targets.
900 Israelis died so far. More than 40 of them are Arabs. Killed by other Arabs. And even 2 Thai people died too.
And I do not want to live under a Palestinian government.
Which means I only have one home, even if I’m not Jewish:
Israel.
That’s where all my family lives. That’s where I grew up. That’s the country I want to see continue to exist so I can exist.
Palestine should exist too as an independent state. And I hope to see the country thrive and become less extreme and more prosperous. I love Palestine and have invested in Palestine.
But it’s not my home.
So from today forward,
I view myself as an “Israeli-Palestinian”.
Israeli first.
Palestinian second.
Sometimes it takes a shock like this to see so clearly.
@Sparkle_GMA@jak_roberto don't rain in someone's parade @jak_roberto . stop trying to draw attention for yourself. If it's true that you are a pro in anti selos and you really support barbie, you won't put yourself in the spotlight.
I once asked Billy Graham over lunch, “Billy, if an older Billy could give counsel to a younger Billy about what is really important to emphasize while preaching, what would you say?” Without missing a beat, Billy looked at me with his steely blue eyes and said, “I would preach more on the cross, and the blood of Christ. That’s where the power is!” I never forgot that. I will be talking about this and more in my message this Sunday titled, “How To Lead Others To Christ”.
It you have a relationship with God and are walking closely with Him, then you will see this world for what it is. You will recognize the philosophies, concepts, and ideologies that contradict what the Bible teaches. When you are walking closely with God, you also will see the emptiness and the futility of the things that people chase after.
When we see God for who He is, we will see this world for what it is.

@VanityFair Just a thought. Shouldn't the title be 'the secrets of Carl Lentz' and not 'the secrets of Hillsong'? What he did and what he was is not a representive of the entire church and I find this unfair.
‘The Secrets of Hillsong’—which will feature the first interviews with Carl Lentz and his wife, Laura, since their public ouster—picks up from there, as the church faces a growing series of scandals. vntyfr.com/vIxBaAt
@flyPAL - why is your hotline hanging up? I called two times and have been hang up. It's a disservice to us to go through this on top of the last minute international flight changes.
The Balenciaga story keeps getting WORSE. Don’t confuse this for cancel culture. This is CHILDREN we are talking about. Balenciaga needs to thoroughly explain how all of these references to child exploitation came about.
