| 0:07.0 | I'm Albert Moller, and this is the briefing, a daily analysis of news and events from a Christian |
| 0:12.2 | worldview. |
| 0:13.0 | Well, as the world grows increasingly dangerous, and it is, we need to take stock at least |
| 0:19.0 | of what's going on in several hot spots around the world, and in in particular we need to start there in |
| 0:24.8 | Gaza where Israel is continuing its military effort against Hamas and we just |
| 0:30.5 | need to reset the equation here a bit because even as the headlines are not as pressing coming out of Gaza as they were a matter of just a few days and weeks ago. |
