A Look at Modern-Day Israel 1
Author: Dr. James Dobson
Thu, May 15, 2008
Many Jews and Christians say biblical prophecy was fulfilled when the nation of Israel was reborn on May 14, 1948 - some 1,900 years after the Jewish people were displaced from what the Old Testament describes as their God-given homeland. This week, Israel celebrates its 60th anniversary as a modern-day nation, and today's broadcast recognizes this historic milestone. Dr. James Dobson discusses the biblical significance of Israel's restoration with bestselling author Joel Rosenberg and Middle East expert Tom Doyle. Our guests also examine the threats facing the Jewish state and the condition of the Christian church in the surrounding regions.
"The fact that there's [still] a Jew on the planet, the fact that Israel is in the news, means that there's a God who keeps His promises ... It's only the God of the Bible [who] ever said Israel would become a country again; [the Bible] is the only document in human history that said this would happen." - Joel Rosenberg

Prayer: America's Strength and Shield 3
Author: Dr. James Dobson
Wed, May 14, 2008
Christian apologist Ravi Zacharias says that prayer is an instinctive response of every human heart, that every human soul is drawn toward its Creator. So, what happens when we follow that instinct and seek the Lord in prayer? You won't want to miss the powerful conclusion to our three-part program featuring highlights from the 2008 National Day of Prayer observance in Washington, D.C. Zacharias explains how prayer helps us comprehend God's nearness to us and His sovereignty over our lives. The Honorary Chairman of the National Day of Prayer shares compelling stories illustrating how God uses prayer to shape and direct our lives.
"[Prayer is] almost like breathing - you don't even have to be taught to breathe. There are times in your life where, with all of your skepticism, you will say, 'Dear God, if you are there, if you are listening ...' It is because your soul is reaching to some power greater than yourself." - Ravi Zacharias
