It was no surprise to see attacks by Zionist supporters of Israel against the ELCA (Evangelical Lutheran Church of America) after two pro-Palestinian resolutions were passed at their recent convention (for background information, listen to our podcast, "ELCA Lutherans Palestinian Peace Not Walls Campaign-Major Breakthrough"). In this podcast we discuss the significance of the recent attack on the ECLA by Council on Foreign Affairs' Elliott Abrams, Senior Fellow for Middle Eastern Studies in an article by him, entitled "The Lutheran Church Attacks Israel, Again." The Council on Foreign Relations is an elite "club" of powerful movers and shakers in Government and Corporate spheres (check out for yourself on the "CFR's Membership Roster") that are considered to constitute the "American Establishment."

Mark Horton concludes our in depth examination of the book of Hebrews with an excellent conclusion and summary. If this is the first lesson you've heard, we hope that you will consider listening to the whole series. Many Christians have said that the book of Hebrews is difficult to understand. Mark Horton cuts through the fog with clarity of thought and insight into the meaning of the message in Hebrews that Christ is the perfect replacement to the inferior sacrificial system practiced in the Old Testament.
