Loss, hardship, and old age. These difficulties often go hand in hand. Maria, a 95-year-old Holocaust survivor, has suffered the horrors of war. When World War II ended, she was shocked to discover her childhood home had been demolished. Now living in Israel, she must contend with frequent rocket fire. Without close relatives nearby, she spends her time housebound and alone.

Her inadequate pension prevents her from maintaining her small apartment, and it fell into terrible disrepair. But CBN Israel, with the help of our compassionate partners, stepped in and stopped the leaks, restored the damage, and renovated the rooms. With our vouchers, Maria purchases nutritious food, medicine, and other essentials. “Thank you for caring about me,” she said with deep gratitude. “Your kindness means more than you know!”

CBN’s Helping the Home Front connected with Support Military Families to distribute 1,000 Superbook goodie boxes to children at several military bases in North Carolina. Kids loved the DVDs, toys, and fun activities found inside.
A co-founder of Support Military Families said, “Together we act as the hands and feet of Jesus to serve military children—the littlest heroes.”
“With my husband in Korea, this is such a blessing, and it puts a smile on my child’s face,” one parent shared.

Whether it’s fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, or prolonged symptoms of COVID-19, many Americans are facing an ongoing battle with exhaustion. Dr. Jacob Teitelbaum, author of From Fatigued to Fantastic! offers help to sufferers of weariness based on 40 years of research and treating patients.
For more information, check out Teitelbaum’s website at EndFatigue. com. But be sure to consult your physician before taking any supplements or changing your diet and exercise routine.
To reclaim health and vitality, Teitelbaum recommends his S.H.I.N.E.® program that focuses on optimizing sleep, balancing hormones, addressing infections, nutrition, and exercise.
First, he talks about the importance of sleep. His research has shown that many people need as much as nine hours of sleep each night. He suggests a sleep mask may help, along with the supplement melatonin. If those steps don’t work, a doctor can prescribe a low dose of sleep medication.
For exercise, Teitelbaum says to start by walking and see how much you can do without becoming fatigued. Then, slowly increase your steps using a pedometer.

Paul said it will not come upon you unawares. We, as believers, are expecting for we know the Scriptures. But the world does not, and like the days of Noah, they’ll be having all kinds of celebrations, like weddings and parties. Then, like the flood, the Lord’s return will come unexpectedly.
The Bible says Jesus is coming back like a thief in the night. But it also states that when He returns, the world will see Him descending from heaven. Please explain the differences.
You can also watch The 700 Club on demand from your electronic device anytime, day or night.
The idea of a thief in the night means the Lord is going to come at a time when the people of the world aren’t waiting for Him or expecting His return.

YOUR QUESTIONS, HONEST ANSWERS
in Ephesians 6:4 , Bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord. Another translation uses the words discipline and instruction (nlt). Paul is saying that Christian families should make sure their children are raised according to the Word so they can be good citizens of the kingdom of God.
The goal of families in ancient Athens was to properly instruct their children so they could become good citizens of the city. It’s interesting to note that the Greek word to describe this process, paideia , is used by the Apostle Paul when instructing believers about raising their Hechildren.writes

The McGuffey Readers were the most popular books of all time in the mid-1800s and early 1900s, selling millions of copies. They were the standard for education—a profoundly Christian series of readers for children. Yet, over the years, there has been a gradual erosion of these values. Education is no longer viewed as something to build up good American citizens who will live in the fear and admonition of the Lord.
Excerpted from a teaching on The 700 Club. Scripture is quoted from the NKJV except as noted.
It was a goal in American history that this country would be a city set on a hill, as Jesus said in Matthew 5:14 ;“ You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden .” The aim was to be an example for all people of what could happen when a nation obeys the biblical commandments and instruction.
