SANDY: Yeah, right—well you can read my new book (laughs) because it’s specifically for that— that’s one main reason that I wrote the new book because there really isn’t a whole lot out there that can equip and empower the average Christian today to come against what are really demonic strongholds. And, and so, you know, being sensitive to the Lord, there is an extent to which, you know is your time and energy best spent trying to persuade somebody who’s already beyond, seemingly beyond persuasion versus a reaching to people who still haven’t, you know, solidified their— yeah, yeah— You know. I don’t know that it’s extremely different from sharing the Gospel in that, you know, it’s sharing truth firmly but in love, trying to find the common ground with where the person’s at.
SID: Your job is not to convince anyone. Your job is to speak the truth in love. You can do that.
QUESTIONER #2: And what’s the title of your book?
SANDY: “Why Still Care About Israel?” And what I’ve done that’s— again this is to answer her question which I think many people might share, is that I’ve got extensive documentation only some of which is in the book itself and end notes, but also online because you know sometimes you can just basically end up in a spitting contest. And they do this, no they do that, no they do this, no they do that. Now, the reality is, is that you can go online now and find documentation for anything you want to find documentation about. You know, I mean you can find documentation that the Jews are the descendants of apes and pigs because that’s what Islam teaches, according to fundamental Islam. But having a sense of the reliability of the sources is important. But—
SID: But why did you document the book so thoroughly?
SANDY: I felt strongly the Lord asked me to. Because most people who are able— not too many people who speak to the church have the kind of background in law and in the study and dissection of documents that, you know, that, that I happen to have just because of the way that you know God’s called me to walk. So in that book He really did draw on my political science background which I never thought I’d use (laughs) as well as the legal research and as well as the adherence to scripture and expression of His heart of love. But the documentation is important for many people because otherwise it’s just an opinion and everybody has an opinion.
SID: I agree. We have one last question.
QUESTIONER #3: Yeah. I was very disturbed. I was in a lady’s group meeting recently and a group of church people here in Charlotte went to Israel with the sole purpose of getting with Palestinian people and Jewish people. And they, I felt like the whole thing was arranged because when they came back they were so angry at the, at the Jews. And I felt like their meetings were arranged and this was done by a prominent church in Charlotte. And I, all I can say is I was just flabbergasted. I just could not take it all in and was very distressed, and I wondered, I mean, I guess now I heard from the other lady, I know to tell them about your book. Because I just felt like it was propaganda, taking these people and they took them to specific places to meet specific people. And they were blown away at a hostility of one Jew and the— um, what would you, what I call the hospitality of the Arabs, and it was like to me, what came to my heart this whole thing was planned out and I was very grieved in my spirit.
SANDY: Those things do get planned out. They are propaganda tours.
SID: By the way, I know this also as an Israeli. When we do tours and we have one coming up next April, all of our guides will be Jewish believers in the Messiah, our tour company will be a Jewish tour company. Why is this important? You have your choice to see Israel through Palestinian eyes or through Jewish eyes. I want you to see the real Israel through Jewish eyes. Thank you.
