'People of Israel need our prayerful support,' say US faith leaders from coast to coast as war continues
Fox News
Faith leaders across the country shared their prayers, support and hope for the people of Israel and the Jewish people as that nation faces attacks and war with terrorists.
Judge Phil Ginn, president of Southern Evangelical Seminary in Charlotte, North Carolina, told Fox News Digital, "In Deuteronomy 7:6, God refers to the Jewish people when he says, ‘For you are a people holy to the Lord your God. The Lord your God has chosen you to be a people for his treasured possession out of all the peoples who are on the face of the earth.’" "We pray for every family, every child and their safety." "The Bible says Christians are to ‘pray for the peace of Jerusalem,’ and thus we are praying for wisdom, courage and unity in Israel so that this threat to the country’s existence can be dealt with swiftly." "The greatest way to personally fight darkness is by adding in light." Maureen Mackey is managing editor of lifestyle for Fox News Digital.
Ginn added, "This promise is [also] contained in the same Bible as John 3:16 — and I believe that God meant both of them."
