True Hate versus True Love

Suffering. It's the thing we run from--the thing we dread. But we're not alone. And we're not the first. Many of the Bible names you know and love faced suffering of all kinds. What lessons did they learn? What wisdom did they leave for us in Scripture? This week on The Land and the Book, our special guest is Joni Tada. You’ll be encouraged as we explore suffering in Scripture—and suffering in YOUR life.

Consider the biblical city of Shiloh—Israel's first religious capital. It was here that Hanna dedicated her son, Samuel. In Shiloh, the Tabernacle and Ark of the Covenant were kept for many years. Today, workers are excavating the ancient city of Shiloh. This week on The Land and the Book, we'll talk with an archaeologist who shares remarkable insights from his dig earlier this summer.

Civil war in Syria. More than half a million Syrians are dead, and 55 thousand of those are children. Half of Syria's population is now uprooted from their homes. And 5.5 million have fled to neighboring countries. But some courageous Christians are shining bright lights for Christ in Syria. Their stories are amazing—and we’ll hear them this week on The Land and the Book.Donate to Moody Radio: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/landandthebookSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Throughout history, when nations have turned from God, He has raised men to try to bring them back. The Prophets of the Old Testament, the Apostles of the New Testament, and ultimately Jesus—all performed this role. These men are the Tough Guys of the Bible. Where did they get their courage? What are their secrets? What can we learn from them to become tougher? That's our focus—this week on The Land and the Book.Donate to Moody Radio: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/landandthebookSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The apostle Paul was born in Tarsus. That’s modern-day Turkey! A surprising amount of the Bible took place there. But today, Turkey is largely hostile to the gospel.

And then, Charlie Dyer’s devotional introduces us to “The Man Who Needed a New Roof.” All on The Land and the Book.Donate to Moody Radio: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/landandthebookSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

May 21, just after 9 pm. Outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C., two Israeli Embassy staff members are gunned down.

Remember the October 7 attack on Israel? In the three months following, anti-Semitic attacks in America shot up 361%. And the hits—literally—keep on coming. In the United States, 70% of Jewish college students have either experienced or witnessed antisemitism. It's as if someone gave permission to beat up Jewish people. What's behind it all is our focus this week on The Land and the Book.Donate to Moody Radio: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/landandthebookSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When you and I hear the word risk, we usually think about the stock market. Or maybe the risk involved with a job transfer. But Christ-followers in Iran understand that word very differently. Just to speak the name of Jesus is dangerous there. But this week on The Land and the Book, you’ll hear stories that will amaze, encourage and inspire.

His friend, Max, was hit and on the ground. But when Michael tried to assist, he was assaulted, as well, to the point someone broke his wrist. What fueled this attack? A hatred for Jewish people. And it happened right here in America. How could we be seeing so much antisemitism? And how should we respond?
