ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE: outsourcing the Gospel
“Seeing is believing” used to be the easy, definitive answer to anything that sounded suspicious or that remotely reeked of a conspiracy. Faith was simple to believe, the world was easy to understand, and convictions were easy to defend. The newspaper said it, I believed it, and that settled it. But everything changed. A new player entered the global reporting arena: ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE.
GAZA: unexpected voices rising from the rubble
This is the story of Gaza’s unsung heroes. These are names you have most likely never heard before and may never hear again, because Gaza’s life is usually reduced to headlines — verdicts of guilt or innocence, images of ruin and loss. Yet the truest portrait of Gaza is painted in small, stubborn acts of human survival: a clown bringing smiles to faces of children, a musician playing his guitar in a refugee camp, a doctor weeping with patients, students finishing an exam between shifts, children playing hopscotch in empty spaces, a soccer match in the rubble, and a church lifting prayers for those who heal.
RAMADAN: fasting yet feasting, hidden yet revealed
Ramadan invites us to imagine Jesus’ posture toward people who are sincerely seeking God during fasting and prayer. While the Gospels don’t mention Ramadan (since it arose centuries later), we can draw from Jesus’ character and teachings to envision how He might approach it.
THE CRUCIFIXION OF CHRIST IN ISRAEL: the lampstand removed
On Sunday, February 8, 2026, Israel’s security cabinet approved a sweeping set of measures designed to intensify Israeli control over the West Bank. Christ was symbolically crucified once again. And the church in the West looked away.
MIND HOARDING AND THE GAZA WAR: how mental clutter distorts our moral clarity
Mind hoarding is a spiritual condition. It keeps us trapped in theological archives while real bodies bleed. To confront the Gaza war with integrity, we must declutter our minds—releasing what no longer serves love, justice, or truth.
A CHRISTIAN RESPONSE TO DONALD TRUMP: when critique becomes a mirror
I must confess that this was not an easy article to write. I must admit that I find the character of Mr. Trump deeply disturbing—at times even highly offensive. No, I do not like him. Yet, likeability was never the central issue when Christ commanded His followers to love. The real issue, according to Christ, is not whether we personally like or dislike Mr. Trump. The deeper question is how we, as Christians, express our discontent – which we should – but without becoming mirrors of the very attitudes we condemn.
MORE THAN 71,000 DEAD IN GAZA: Israel’s monumental admission
In a monumental confession, after more than two years of relentless bombing in Gaza, Israel’s military has now, for the first time, acknowledged that the death toll figures long compiled by the Palestinian Ministry of Health in the enclave, is correct and verifiable.
EXPULSION OF ISRAELI OFFICIAL: clarifying fact from fiction
On Friday, 30 January 2026, South Africa’s Department of International Relations and Cooperation (DIRCO) formally expelled Israel’s senior diplomat, Ariel Seidman, giving him 72 hours to leave the country. Immediately after the expulsion, a number of misleading claims appeared on social media and in certain Christian media outlets. Regardless of personal affiliation and geographic alliances, it is critical for believers and citizens alike to rely on factual information from official sources before drawing conclusions.
MAGA INTERRUPTED: the freezing of USAID left 600,000 dead
One year ago, on 24 January 2025, on the very first day of his second term, Donald Trump froze all U.S. foreign aid. In one single day MAGA – Maintain Americas Generosity Always – changed to MAGA – Make America Great Again. As a result, some 600,000 people have died in the past year. The world is united in prayer that a domestic vision of the new MAGA will be interrupted and that what made America great in the past – a generous culture of giving – will Make America Great Again. Here is a one-minute read
GLOBAL WARS: living peace in a fractured world
Global wars in 2025–2026 reveal a world torn by aggression, with Israel and the United States leading in military reach, and seven major conflicts reshaping continents. Yet amid the devastation, the Christian perspective insists that peace is possible—it acknowledges the reality of war but insists on hope. Jesus’ words, “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God” (Matthew 5:9), remind believers that peace is both a gift and a consecration.
