The US military strategy in the Iran War is a matter of debate, with some arguing that a ceasefire was a pause rather than an end to the conflict.

The blockade has been effective in stopping oil exports, and the US has doubled its firepower in the Persian Gulf. The war can only end in a positive way for President Trump if the Iranians capitulate at the negotiating table or the US finishes the military task. [... more]

The Apostle Paul's strategy of using strategic cities to spread the message of Jesus Christ is still relevant today. In the Roman Empire, Paul used the city of Thessalonica as a hub to reach people from all over the region. He would share his message with people in the city and then trust them to spread it to others as they traveled on the Roman roads. This 'honeybee strategy' is still effective today, and it's not just for missionaries. It's a personal responsibility for every follower of Christ to be a 'honeybee' and share their faith with others. [... more]
