Don’t Flirt with Sin !!!
The story of Joseph and Potiphar’s wife in Genesis 39 contains some obvious lessons about fidelity in the face of sexual temptation, and there are also some subtler points to be found about the loyal character of God. The story is dramatic: Jacob’s son Joseph is in Egypt, where he is Potiphar’s servant and the most trusted overseer in his household. Potiphar’s wife sees that Joseph “was well-built and handsome, and after a while . . . said, ‘Come to bed with me!’” (Genesis 39:6–7).
Potiphar’s wife tries to seduce Joseph, but he staunchly refuses her advances: “My master has withheld nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. How then could I do such a wicked thing and sin against God?” (Genesis 39:9). Joseph is loyal both to Potiphar and to God. Potiphar’s wife doesn’t give up; she “spoke to Joseph day after day, [but] he refused to go to bed with her or even be with her” (verse 10). Note the wise course Joseph takes, choosing not to be alone with Potiphar’s wife if he could help it.
But then came a turning point in Joseph’s life: “One day he went into the house to attend to his duties, and none of the household servants was inside. [Potiphar’s wife] caught him by his cloak and said, ‘Come to bed with me!’ But he left his cloak in her hand and ran out of the house” (Genesis 39:11–12). Potiphar’s wife, spurned again, stands there with Joseph’s cloak in her hand, and she chooses an angry, vindictive plan: “She called her household servants. ‘Look,’ she said to them, ‘this Hebrew . . . came in here to sleep with me, but I screamed. When he heard me scream for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house’” (verses 14–15).
When Potiphar came home, his wife showed him Joseph’s cloak and repeated the lie: “As soon as I screamed for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house. . . . This is how your slave treated me” (Genesis 39:18–19). Potiphar, outraged at Joseph’s supposed betrayal, put him in prison (verse 20).
There is much in the story of Potiphar’s wife about resisting sexual temptation. A brash woman overtly tempts a man, pulling on his clothes and saying, “Lie with me.” The man flees from her so suddenly that he actually leaves his garment in her hand. Joseph doesn’t stand there, gazing at the woman, considering whether or not he should sleep with her. He immediately gets out of there (see 1 Corinthians 6:18).
Joseph’s wise handling of the situation with Potiphar’s wife directly contrasts the foolhardy actions of the simple man in Proverbs. Solomon sees a fool walking toward the house of an adulterous woman (Proverbs 7:8). When the fool drew near, “she took hold of him and kissed him . . . with a brazen face” (verse 13). Rather than run away like Joseph, the foolish man stayed to listen to her: “With persuasive words she led him astray; she seduced him with her smooth talk” (verse 21). And he paid a high price for his foolishness: “All at once he followed her like an ox going to the slaughter” (verse 22). One could argue the Joseph, too, paid a high price—his virtue landed him in prison—but one has only to read the rest of Genesis to see the blessings God had in store for Joseph.
It is interesting to note that Genesis 39 does not say anything about Joseph’s feelings for Potiphar’s wife: was he attracted to her? Did he find her beautiful or interesting? How long did they have a perfectly normal and friendly relationship—servant and mistress—before she chose to attempt a seduction? None of this is enumerated. The heart of the issue is this: Potiphar’s wife promised happiness and sensual satisfaction, but Joseph saw sin for what it is, refusing to do “this great wickedness” (Genesis 39:9, ESV). Joseph feared God, knowing that all sin is ultimately against Him (see Psalm 51:4). In saying “no” to Potiphar’s wife, Joseph showed himself to be wise: “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; all who follow his precepts have good understanding” (Psalm 111:10).
The incident with Potiphar’s wife is bookended by two passages that speak of God’s love and blessing to Joseph. Joseph found favor in the eyes of the Egyptians among whom he lived and rose to a position of prominence in the house of Potiphar (Genesis 39:1–6). Joseph’s success and position was the direct result of God’s blessing (verses 2–3). When Joseph was wrongly accused and sent to prison, God remained faithful. God “showed [Joseph] kindness and granted him favor in the eyes of the prison warden” (verse 21). Soon, the keeper of the prison had put Joseph in charge of the other prisoners and trusted him so fully that he no longer paid attention to anything that was under Joseph’s control (verses 22–23). Everything Joseph did succeeded because “the Lord was with Joseph” (verse 23).
The story of Potiphar’s wife is about loyalty as much as it is about resisting temptation. Potiphar’s wife was disloyal to her husband, but Joseph was loyal both to Potiphar and to God. God shows us amazing loyalty and faithfulness. It is part of His character. He is “compassionate and gracious . . . slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness” (Exodus 34:6). “For the word of the LORD is right and true; he is faithful in all he does” (Psalm 33:4). Joseph’s desire to be faithful and loyal to Potiphar was in response to God’s faithfulness to Him; Joseph was reflecting God’s character, which is what the godly do. “Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus did” (1 John 2:6).
When Potiphar’s wife stirred her husband’s jealousy and made him throw Joseph in prison unjustly, God was still there, comforting and blessing Joseph. From this we can learn that, even if we are treated unfairly in this life, God will never forsake His servants (Hebrews 13:5).
Tea Time Manna
If your brother sins against you, go and show him his fault, just between the two of you. If he listens to you, you have won your brother over.
—Matthew 18:15
The right thing to do can also be the very hardest thing to do. Many of us find it much easier to gossip about someone who has wronged us than to obey Jesus. But one thing is the right thing when we have been wounded by the action of another brother or sister in Christ. Jesus commanded us to go to the person who has wronged us, try to keep the damage contained to just the two of us, and work on being reconciled with each other. Satan lives in the festering and poisonous places in our hearts where unforgiveness and resentment reside. God’s desire, and what should be our goal as his children, is reconciliation that is personal, face-to-face, and genuine. Our desire to be reconciled to our offending brother or sister “for whom Christ died” (Romans 14:15-16; 1 Corinthians 8:11) must be stronger than our desire for revenge or getting even. Redemption must be our motivation, and Jesus’ commands must be our guid
Prayer
Oh, Lord God Almighty, forgive my foolish and selfish ways. Please give me the courage to lovingly confront — or better yet, “carefront” — those who have sinned against me. If I cannot bring about reconciliation, help me through the power of your Holy Spirit, to forgive as you have forgiven me. In Jesus’ name, and because of his atoning sacrifice for both my sins and their sins, I pray. Amen and Amen
Bible Teaching of the Day
LUNCH MANNA =
The Bible uses words such as iniquity, transgression, and trespass to indicate levels of disobedience to God. They are all categorized as “sin.” Micah 2:1 says, “Woe to those who plan iniquity, to those who plot evil on their beds! At morning’s light they carry it out because it is in their power to do it.”
The Hebrew word used most often for “iniquity” means “guilt worthy of punishment.” Iniquity is sin at its worst. Iniquity is premeditated, continuing, and escalating. When we flirt with sin, we fall for the lie that we can control it. But like a cute baby monkey can grow to be a wild, out-of-control primate, sin that seems small and harmless at first can take control before we know it. When we give ourselves over to a sinful lifestyle, we are committing iniquity. Sin has become our god rather than the Lord (Romans 6:14).
When we realize we have sinned, we have a choice. We can see it for the evil it is and repent. When we do, we find the forgiveness and cleansing of God (Jeremiah 33:8; 1 John 1:9). Or we can harden our hearts and go deeper into that sin until it defines us. Partial lists of iniquities are given in Galatians 5:19–21 and in 1 Corinthians 6:9–10. These are sins that become so consuming that a person can be identified by that lifestyle. The psalmists distinguish between sin and iniquity when they ask God to forgive both (Psalm 32:5; 38:18; 51:2; 85:2).
If we continue to choose sin, our hearts harden toward God. One sin leads to another, and iniquity begins to define our lives, as it did when David sinned with Bathsheba (2 Samuel 11:3–4). His initial sin of lust resulted in a hardening of his heart, and his sin deepened. He committed adultery, then had Bathsheba’s husband killed (verses 14–15). Iniquity had taken over David’s life. It was only when confronted by the prophet Nathan that he repented with great sorrow. His heartfelt cry for forgiveness is detailed in Psalm 51. Verse 2 says, “Wash away all my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin.” David is a picture of someone who clearly understood the progression of iniquity and who experienced the mercy and forgiveness of God (Psalm 103:1–5).
The second half of Romans 1 outlines the progression of sin (verses 10–32). The end result for those with such hardened hearts is that God turns them over to a “reprobate mind” (verse 28, KJV), and they no longer have the desire or ability to repent. Reprobate means “thoroughly depraved, given over to evil until the conscience is seared.” The Scripture is clear that God forgives even iniquity (Micah 7:18), but if we persist in it, we will reap the wages of sin, which is eternal separation from God (Romans 6:23).
Today’s Devotional
DINNER MANNA =
Fleeing from temptation means we recognize it as an enemy and we go the other way, with no hesitation and no compromise. First Corinthians 6:18 says, “Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body.” While the temptation is not sin, sexual immorality begins with the temptation to engage in sexual activity outside of God’s boundaries. When we don’t flee from that temptation, action soon follows.
The best and most literal biblical example of someone fleeing temptation is found in Genesis 39 when young Joseph, Jacob’s son, was targeted by his master’s wife for an adulterous affair. She tempted him day after day, but Joseph held firm to his convictions and rebuffed her advances. Not only did he refuse to go to bed with her, but he wisely refused to “even be with her” (Genesis 39:10). But one day when no one else was in the house, she caught Joseph and pulled him to her, trying to seduce him: “She caught him by his cloak and said, ‘Come to bed with me!’ But he left his cloak in her hand and ran out of the house” (verse 12). That is an excellent example of fleeing from temptation. Joseph did not stand around to argue or give himself time to reconsider. He fled.
We naturally flee from danger. When the building we are in catches fire, we flee to a safer place. When a hurricane is about to make landfall, we flee the coast. Unfortunately, when many people see temptation coming, they do not flee. Rather than flee temptation, they dabble in it, deflect it, postpone it, or analyze it; some embrace it. Could this be because most people do not recognize the danger inherent in temptation? We seem to be more concerned with physical dangers that threaten the body than we are with spiritual dangers that threaten the soul.
Romans 13:14 says, “Put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires.” Making provision for the flesh is the opposite of fleeing temptation. We make provision for our flesh when we accommodate the things that lead to sin and actually make preparations for sinning. Those who make provision for the flesh are like an over-indulgent parent who winks at his child’s misbehavior and gratifies his every whim. When we allow ourselves to remain in tempting situations instead of fleeing them, we are foolishly placing confidence in the flesh. We believe the lie that our sinful flesh will somehow find the strength to resist at the last moment. Then we are shocked and ashamed when, instead of resisting, we give in.
God provides strength and courage to any of His children who will live surrendered to His will (2 Thessalonians 2:16–17; Hebrews 12:10–12). “The name of the LORD is a fortified tower; the righteous run to it and are safe” (Proverbs 18:10). We are commanded throughout Scripture to stand firm and resist the devil’s schemes (Ephesians 6:10–18; James 4:7; 1 Peter 5:9). Satan’s traps are many and varied and usually begin with a tempting thought or situation. One way we resist the devil is to flee at the first hint of temptation.
As we flee from temptation, we naturally flee toward something else, and Paul tells us what that should be: “Flee the evil desires of youth and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart” (2 Timothy 2:22). Wisdom recognizes the danger in temptation and bids us flee from it. “The prudent see danger and take refuge, but the simple keep going and pay the penalty” (Proverbs 22:3).

UFO Files About To Be Released By White House – How Should The Church Respond?
A wave of viral claims about secret government briefings with Christian leaders regarding UFOs has been partially walked back after a prominent pastor apologized for conflating his own interpretation with comments made by a sitting U.S. congressman during a private call with religious leaders.
Larry Ragland, senior pastor of Solid Rock Church in Birmingham, Alabama, issued a public clarification after a viral clip suggested he had attributed statements to Rep. Eric Burlison, R-Mo., implying that the upcoming government disclosure of UFO files could include claims that extraterrestrials created humanity and that Christianity itself was invented by non-human intelligence.
In the original viral clip, Ragland described a “very well-known congressman from Missouri” allegedly warning pastors in a private discussion that future disclosure narratives could involve beings presenting themselves as humanity’s creators, with claims that God, Jesus, and the Bible were human inventions seeded by non-human entities.
However, Rep. Burlison quickly pushed back on those interpretations, stating publicly that he does not know the origins of unidentified aerial phenomena and that his participation in the discussion was limited to encouraging Christians to ground their worldview in Scripture rather than speculation.
“I do NOT know what the strange objects in the skies are and I certainly do NOT know their origins,” Burlison wrote on X, adding that he was invited to briefly join a theological discussion and could not account for all claims made within the broader meeting. He emphasized that his comments centered on the importance of biblical literacy and discernment, particularly if future disclosure events occur.
Ragland later issued an apology, acknowledging that he had blended his own interpretation with what was actually said, clarifying that Burlison did not make the claims attributed to him.
Even as that specific narrative has been corrected, broader discussions among pastors, online ministries, and political figures continue to circulate, fueling ongoing debate about government transparency, UFO disclosure, and how the church should respond to the possibility of non-human intelligence.
The video’s have led to many important questions about how Christians should respond if society increasingly embraces a worldview centered around extraterrestrial explanations for spiritual realities.
That question is no longer fringe.
Over the last several years, belief in UFOs and non-human intelligence has surged dramatically in mainstream culture. Hollywood, social media, podcasts, military testimony, and even government language have normalized the topic in ways unimaginable twenty years ago.
The timing of such discussion among the Christian community could not be more important as the White House is expected to begin releasing the long-awaited UFO files on Friday – months after President Trump ordered top administration officials to get the ball rolling on the secretive intel. It is expected large amounts of information will be released each week for several successive weeks although it is unclear just what information will be released.
We also have the summer release of Steven Spielberg’s new UFO movie, Disclosure Day on June 12, exploring global reaction to the revelation that aliens are real. This will further fuel the fire over this issue and so it important to have a Biblical understanding of this issue as people see this movie and it becomes a topic of conversation.
For many Christians, the concern is not merely about strange objects in the skies. It is about worldview.
Could modern society eventually reinterpret biblical supernatural events through a purely extraterrestrial lens?
Could demons become “interdimensional beings”? Could angels become “advanced intelligences”? Could spiritual deception eventually be reframed as cosmic enlightenment?
Many Christian thinkers have wrestled with these questions for years.
The late Christian scholar Chuck Missler often argued that UFO phenomena may involve spiritual deception rather than extraterrestrial civilizations. Christian researchers like Gary Bates and Joe Jordan have similarly suggested that many alleged alien encounters bear striking similarities to occult experiences, sleep paralysis events, demonic oppression, and spiritual manifestations described throughout church history.
Many Christians acknowledge that the Bible already prepares believers for massive end-times deception. Scripture repeatedly warns about “lying signs and wonders,” deceiving spirits, and false narratives powerful enough to mislead many. Jesus Himself warned that deception in the last days would become so persuasive that even “the elect” could be shaken.
That does not mean Christians should panic every time a blurry video appears online.
Nor does it mean believers should embrace every conspiracy theory circulating on social media.
In fact, one of the biggest dangers surrounding this current controversy may be fear-driven sensationalism itself. Viral speculation can quickly become spiritually unhealthy when Christians become more obsessed with hidden government meetings than prayer, Scripture, discernment, and the Gospel.
At the same time, dismissing every concern outright may also be unwise. History shows governments do hide information. Intelligence agencies do conduct psychological operations. And cultural narratives do shape public belief systems over time.
Christians therefore face a delicate challenge: remain discerning without becoming paranoid.
The church does not need to fear disclosure — whether it involves advanced technology, unexplained aerial phenomena, or future revelations we cannot yet anticipate. Christianity has survived empires, scientific revolutions, world wars, and centuries of philosophical attacks. The existence of unexplained phenomena would not suddenly erase the resurrection of Christ or invalidate Scripture.
But Christians should recognize that the spiritual battle over truth is real.
Because the larger issue may not be whether UFOs exist at all.
The larger issue may be whether society increasingly seeks supernatural explanations without God, spirituality without repentance, and cosmic wonder without Christ.
And that is precisely why discernment matters now more than ever.
The Pastors Who Want To Rewrite Christianity
For generations, Christians have faced criticism from outside the Church. But increasingly, some of the sharpest attacks on foundational Christian doctrine are coming from inside the pulpit itself. The latest example comes from United Church of Christ pastor Anna Flowers of the United Church in Walpole, Massachusetts, who recently declared that the biblical teaching that Jesus is the only path to salvation “makes no sense.”
Just weeks ago, many Christians were stunned when Yvette Flunder, senior pastor of the City of Refuge United Church of Christ in Oakland, criticized portions of the Bible as discriminatory and suggested Christians should effectively “rip out” verses they dislike and replace them with a so-called “Third Testament.” Now, another minister has stepped forward with a message that directly contradicts one of Christianity’s most central claims: that salvation comes through Jesus Christ alone.
Flowers argues that when Jesus declared in John 14:6, “I am the way, the truth and the life,” He was not speaking literally. According to her, Christianity is simply one authentic spiritual path among many. In her view, there are multiple roads to God, and moral or ethical living — regardless of belief — is enough to secure eternity.
At first glance, that message sounds compassionate, modern and inclusive. In an age that celebrates tolerance above nearly everything else, the idea that “all paths lead to God” is emotionally appealing. It removes tension. It eliminates offense. It allows every worldview to coexist without conflict.
But there is one major problem: it directly contradicts Scripture.
Jesus did not say He was “a” way. He said He was “the” way. The distinction matters. The apostles reinforced the same message repeatedly. In Acts 4:12, Peter boldly declared, “There is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” Christianity has always stood apart because of this exclusive claim — not out of arrogance, but because truth by nature is exclusive.
A Christian comedian once mocked the idea of universalism with a simple illustration: if you want to fly to New York, you cannot simply board any random plane and assume every route leads to the same destination. Truth matters. Direction matters. The plane matters. Yet increasingly, some pastors are preaching a spiritual version of exactly that confusion — assuring people that sincerity is enough regardless of what they believe.
Flowers attempted to defend her theology by arguing that Jesus taught believers to love and care for their neighbors, including those of other faiths. That part is absolutely true. Christians are called to show compassion, kindness and mercy to all people. But somewhere in modern progressive theology, a dangerous leap has occurred: from loving non-believers to declaring that belief itself no longer matters.
That is not Christianity. It is moral relativism wrapped in spiritual language.
The heart of the Gospel has never been that humanity can earn heaven through good behavior. In fact, Scripture repeatedly teaches the opposite. The Bible declares that salvation is not achieved through works, morality or personal goodness, because no human being is perfect. Christianity teaches that mankind needs redemption precisely because human goodness is insufficient.
Yet the belief Flowers promotes reflects the growing theology of modern culture: be kind, be tolerant, be ethical, and heaven will sort itself out in the end. It is a message that removes the necessity of repentance, the cross and even Christ Himself.
And that raises an uncomfortable question: if there are many valid paths to God, then why did Jesus need to die at all?
If morality alone saves people, then the crucifixion becomes unnecessary. The Gospel becomes optional. Christianity becomes merely one inspirational philosophy among thousands. The cross is reduced from the centerpiece of human redemption to little more than a symbolic gesture.
This is why these debates matter.
Many Christians watching these developments are increasingly alarmed not simply because of theological disagreements, but because confusion from spiritual leaders carries enormous consequences. When pastors publicly dismiss or reinterpret foundational teachings of Scripture, many believers — especially younger Christians — begin to question whether anything in the Bible can truly be trusted at all.
The issue is not whether Christians should love people of different beliefs. They should. The issue is whether pastors have the authority to rewrite doctrines that have stood at the center of Christianity for 2,000 years.
Flowers holds respected academic credentials, including a Master of Divinity from Candler School of Theology at Emory University, and she has served in ministry for years. But credentials do not determine truth. Throughout history, many highly educated theologians have drifted from biblical orthodoxy while claiming to improve or modernize the faith.
The growing trend inside some progressive churches appears clear: doctrines that offend modern culture are being softened, reinterpreted or abandoned altogether. Sin becomes misunderstanding. Repentance becomes self-discovery. Salvation becomes universal. And Jesus becomes not Savior, but simply one spiritual teacher among many.
But Christianity without the uniqueness of Christ is no longer Christianity at all.
Christians should not respond with hatred or personal attacks. They should pray for Flowers and others embracing similar teachings. But they should also recognize the seriousness of what is happening. A church that loses confidence in the authority of Scripture eventually loses the Gospel itself.
And once a church no longer believes Jesus meant what He said, it becomes difficult to know what — if anything — remains sacred anymore.
Hamas Is Humiliating Trump’s ‘Board of Peace’
Six months after US President Donald J. Trump unveiled his ambitious ceasefire and reconstruction plan for the Gaza Strip, the Iran-backed Hamas terrorist group remains more armed, entrenched, and openly defiant than ever.
Far from disarming, the Islamist group now controls roughly half the Gaza Strip and much of its population, while making a mockery of Trump’s “Board of Peace” initiative and the international mediators sponsoring it.
It is now clear that the Trump administration’s strategy was based on a misguided assumption that Hamas (a theocratic terror regime like Iran’s) could somehow be persuaded through negotiations, incentives, and diplomatic pressure to voluntarily surrender its weapons and abandon its jihadist ideology.
The exact opposite has happened. Hamas not only rejected disarmament, but also used the ceasefire periods to solidify control, regroup politically and militarily, and humiliate the people negotiating with them.
According to Palestinian and Israeli sources, talks between Hamas and representatives of the “Board of Peace,” headed by former United Nations official Nickolay Mladenov, recently reached a dead end in Cairo after Hamas again rejected the central demand of Trump’s 20-point plan: total disarmament.
“No one was surprised six months ago, and no one is surprised today that Hamas refuses to disarm,” an Israeli source familiar with the negotiations told i24 News.
Indeed, no one should be surprised.
Expecting Hamas to disarm voluntarily is like expecting ISIS or Al-Qaeda to renounce jihad (holy war) and become peaceful political movements.
Hamas’s weapons are not merely military tools; they are the foundation of its ideology, identity, and power. Asking Hamas to hand over its weapons is essentially asking the group to sign its own death warrant.
Hamas leaders themselves are not hiding their position. Recently, an unnamed Hamas official declared bluntly that his group “will not accept disarmament.” Another insisted that the issue of weapons could only be discussed within the framework of a future Palestinian state and broader political arrangements.
Hamas, in other words, is clearly saying: no disarmament now, no disarmament later, no disarmament ever.
Yet, despite these repeated rejections, the “Board of Peace” continues its embarrassing efforts to negotiate with Hamas over the surrender of its weapons. The entire spectacle has become surreal. Instead of confronting Hamas with meaningful consequences, the international mediators appear to be pleading with the terrorist group to cooperate.
What happened to all the deadlines, ultimatums and threats issued by Trump and his administration over the past year? What happened to the repeated warnings that Hamas would face devastating consequences if it refused to disarm?
So far, Hamas has paid no meaningful price for its defiance.
On the contrary, Hamas seems to interpret the continued negotiations as a sign of weakness and desperation. Every new round of talks in Cairo reinforces Hamas’s belief that the international community lacks either the will or the courage to confront it decisively.
The mediators, especially Qatar, Egypt and Turkey — all of which maintain direct channels with Hamas and present themselves as key brokers in the negotiations — also deserve scrutiny. These countries, unsurprisingly, are not exerting serious pressure on Hamas to disarm.
Qatar has spent years funding the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip while hosting the terror group’s leaders in luxury hotels in Doha. Turkey openly supports Hamas politically and ideologically. Egypt periodically pressures Hamas on border-security issues, yet still treats it as a legitimate political actor rather than as a terrorist group committed to Israel’s destruction.
If these mediators truly wanted to disarm Hamas, they possess significant leverage. The reality is that none of them appear genuinely committed to dismantling Hamas militarily or politically.
Meanwhile, Hamas continues to exploit the negotiations to buy time.
Reports indicate that Hamas may be willing to discuss only limited, phased restrictions on certain heavy weapons while retaining light weapons and preserving its core military infrastructure. This is not disarmament. It is a tactical maneuver designed to preserve Hamas’s rule while extracting concessions from Israel and the international community.
Hamas reportedly seeks reciprocal Israeli withdrawals and additional humanitarian and economic benefits for partial limitations on some of its weapons. Hamas wants all the advantages of remaining armed while receiving the benefits of reconstruction and international legitimacy. The current negotiations in Cairo are fundamentally detached from reality.
Islamist groups and regimes do not surrender because of diplomatic persuasion. Hezbollah did not lay down its weapons after becoming part of the Lebanese political system. The Taliban in Afghanistan did not moderate after negotiations with the US. Iran’s regime has not abandoned its nuclear weapons program or its revolutionary ideology despite decades of diplomacy and sanctions relief. Hamas is no different.
For Hamas, armed “resistance” is not negotiable: it is the group’s very reason for existence. Disarmament would mean losing control over the Gaza Strip, losing its ability to intimidate rivals, and losing the ideological narrative that sustains it: jihad until Hamas replaces Israel with an Islamist state.
Hamas leaders are also apparently worried that disarmament would expose their members to revenge attacks from rival clans and angry civilians inside the Gaza Strip. Hamas leaders understand that many Palestinians blame their organization for bringing catastrophe upon the Gaza Strip through its October 7, 2023 invasion of Israel, which started the war.
This is why Hamas will never voluntarily surrender its weapons or power.
The failure of Trump’s Gaza plan is now becoming increasingly difficult to hide. The “International Stabilization Force” envisioned under the peace plan has not materialized. Funding commitments remain incomplete. The technocratic Palestinian committee meant to govern the Gaza Strip is dysfunctional.
Most importantly, Hamas remains armed and in control.
The continued failure to enforce disarmament damages US credibility throughout the Middle East. America now appears unable to impose its own conditions even after using repeated threats and ultimatums to Hamas. America’s allies are watching closely, as are Iran and its other terror proxies.
Trump’s “Board of Peace” should stop humiliating itself by chasing fantasies about Hamas moderation. The longer the negotiations continue without results, the stronger Hamas appears — and the weaker the US appears.

Bonus Teaching for the Child of God !!
No one is given a pass when it comes to temptation. What we are given as Christians is a way of escape. The apostle Paul taught believers not to be fearful when they face temptation because God will offer help and a way out for those who will look for it: “No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it” (1 Corinthians 10:13, ESV).
Scripture establishes that God is faithful (Deuteronomy 7:9; 1 Thessalonians 5:24; Hebrews 10:23; Revelation 1:5). Just as Yahweh provided a way of escape for the enslaved children of Israel, He will always present a path to freedom for us. Our heavenly Father is not a faraway, uninterested observer leaving us to fumble along through life. He’s right here with us in the battle. The Lord loves us and wants us to succeed in our fight against sin: “God will make this happen, for he who calls you is faithful” (1 Thessalonians 5:24, NLT).
For believers, God’s rescue plan is the person of Jesus Christ. He understands our weaknesses and temptations: “For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin. Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need” (Hebrews 4:15–16). Our primary avenue of rescue is to run to Jesus for help (1 John 2:1; 4:4).
Often, we confuse temptation with sin, but being tempted is not in itself a sin. We sin when we give in to temptation. That is why Jesus taught us to pray, “Don’t let us yield to temptation, but rescue us from the evil one” (Matthew 6:13, NLT).
In most instances, the best course of action is to flee. The account of Joseph in Potiphar’s house is a perfect example of how God provides the way of escape from temptation (Genesis 39:1–23). Joseph refused to give in to Potiphar’s wife’s repeated sexual enticements. He rightly understood that such sin was an offense against God (verse 9). When the temptress tried to force Joseph into her bed, he took advantage of God’s exit route and ran from the house, leaving his cloak in her hand (verse 12). Joseph gives us a literal demonstration of Paul’s admonishments to “flee from sexual immorality” (1 Corinthians 6:18) and “stay away from every kind of evil” (1 Thessalonians 5:22, CSB).
We avoid temptation by staying far from it. Proverbs 4:14–15 warns, “Keep off the path of the wicked; don’t proceed on the way of evil ones. Avoid it; don’t travel on it. Turn away from it, and pass it by” (CSB). If we want to stop indulging our sweet tooth, we stay out of the candy store.
We keep ourselves far from evil and temptation by running to God and His Word. Paul urged Timothy to “run from all these evil things. Pursue righteousness and a godly life, along with faith, love, perseverance, and gentleness. Fight the good fight for the true faith. Hold tightly to the eternal life to which God has called you” (1 Timothy 6:11–12, NLT). James instructed us to humble ourselves before God, “Resist the devil, and he will flee from you” (James 4:7, NLT). Jesus resisted the devil’s temptations with the truth of God’s Word, and so can we (Matthew 4:4, 10).
God also provides a way of escape from temptation through prayerful vigilance. Jesus told Peter, James, and John to “watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak” (Mark 14:38). Later, Peter counseled believers to “be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings” (1 Peter 5:8–9). Peter’s final recorded words included the command to “be on guard; then you will not be carried away by the errors of these wicked people and lose your own secure footing. Rather, you must grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ” (2 Peter 3:17–18, NLT).
Sometimes we need to come alongside other Christians in an accountability setting for support and prayer. Paul taught that, if someone is “overtaken in any wrongdoing, you who are spiritual, restore such a person with a gentle spirit, watching out for yourselves so that you also won’t be tempted” (Galatians 6:1, CSB). As brothers and sisters in Christ, we are stronger together as we carry one another’s burdens (Ecclesiastes 4:12).
Whenever we stare temptation in the face, we must remember that we’re not alone (Deuteronomy 31:8). The Lord is with us, and His Spirit is at work in us, enabling us to crucify “the flesh with its passions and desires” (Galatians 5:22–24). God will never leave us or abandon us to our own resources. We must look to Him and other believers for the way of escape that God has promised to provide.
