One of the Marines was struck in the head and the bullet bounced off his Kevlar helmet. He assured his fellow Marines he was unhurt except for some ringing in his ears, and they ...read more

    Israel had repeatedly witnessed God’s power; why were they intimidated? It’s a perception problem called low self-esteem, and it’s how the enemy prevents you from winning. The Israelites quickly forgot their Red Sea deliverance...
