		GOOD FOUNDATIONS 22 Jan 2008 Malcolm Hedding
The biblical basis of support for Israel is clear and challenging. If we are going to serve the purposes of God correctly, we must be sure about the biblical foundations that we stand upon. If we compromise these, we dishonour not only the Scriptures but the God we serve and ultimately the people we claim to stand with.

Israelis in the western Negev have had to completely change their lifestyles in recent years. Very few sleep in upstairs bedrooms anymore. They leave their TV and radio sets turned down low and their car windows open to better hear the 'Code Red' siren warning of incoming Kassam rockets. They have a mere 15 seconds to find shelter.
