10 ANCHORS: Remaining human when wars erupt

WAR IN IRAN: whispers from heaven
Day 21 of the war in Iran has already produced global effects that reach far beyond the battlefield. The conflict has reshaped regional security, disrupted global markets, and intensified humanitarian pressures across multiple countries. And then a whisper descends from heaven: “For such a time as this… You exist for such a time as this”
THE WAR IN IRAN: how to make sense of the senseless
How do we respond to a season of chaos? How do we, as bearers of hope and messengers of reconciliation, respond to a world that has tilted into a seemingly endless spiral of destruction? The war in Iran has observers baffled. Fifteen nations are now firing missiles at one another. More than 2,300 people have…

IRAN: chaos and covenant
Watching the daily news on the war in Iran creates a sense that the world is unravelling — slipping into an abyss of no return.

He responded as follows: The most wicked leader in the world is dead. Khamenei was finally assassinated on Saturday in a joint operation by the United States and Israel. “He is now burning in the fires of eternal Hell, and rightly so.”

THE EASTER OPTION: you, Jesus and Barabbas
In the court of Pilate it was never simply a choice between two men—Jesus or Barabbas. It was a choice between two ways: the spiritual WAY of Christ and the political WAY of Barabbas. And the crowd didn’t hesitate in making their choice. Their voices rose for political freedom, and they released the one who would secure that at any cost. But, before we assume we would have chosen differently, it’s worth pausing for a moment. Check this video. It offers one of the clearest and most profound explanations I’ve encountered.
