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.
COATHANGER CHRISTIANITY: Gaza as case study
The pressing question today is this: how can the relentless cycle of conflict and war in the world be broken? Strangely enough, the solution is not found in the pursuit of “truth”—despite what many Christians might assume. History itself bears witness that “truth” has often been the spark that ignited division and war. The answer lies elsewhere. And Jesus insists it hangs, like a garment, suspended on a coathanger.
TEARS FOR SALE: the exploitation of Iran’s people
My heart aches for the beautiful people of Iran. And this past week, my grief has deepened—not only because they endure a season of profound suffering, but because their suffering itself is being exploited. This is cruelty weaponized, suffering turned into currency. It is the manipulation of grief for power, the trading of anguish for advantage. To profit from another’s tears is to desecrate the very meaning of compassion. Those who exploit it must be named, unmasked, and exposed.
MIDNIGHT MEDITATION: a cry for reconciliation
Where is the God of love in a world of hatred? How do we make sense of the senseless. And yet—amid the chaos—one truth rises above the noise: It will not be the kings of empires, those fighting for power and control, who will change the world. It has to start with me. This is a Midnight Meditation: A Cry for Reconciliation
