ISRAEL’S CLAIM TO INNOCENCE: unmasking the theology of self-defence.
For most pro-Israel supporters, every heartbreaking statistic—bombed hospitals, starving children, community displacement and mass graves—is met with one universal refrain – a question disguised as an answer: “Doesn’t Israel have the right to defend itself?” When engaging the topic of self-defence, three distinct yet interwoven frameworks must be held together in thoughtful unity. Each offers a lens—legal, moral, and spiritual—that, when integrated, can guide us beyond reaction toward discernment. To separate them is to risk distortion; to unite them is to pursue justice with integrity.
TO CARE IS NOT TO HATE: My statement of faith
After more than 700 days of war and nearly 70,000 lives lost, silence is no longer neutrality—it is complicity. To remain quiet in the face of relentless bombardment, starvation, and displacement is to abandon the gospel’s call to justice. It is a betrayal of Christ. It is time for Christ-followers to stand up and to speak out—not with opinionated loyalty or biased convictions, but with the courage of the cross. This is my statement of faith – and I encourage you to do the same.
A MILLION JEWISH CONVERTS: the truth behind the “Jewish awakening”
On August 28, 2025, Joel Rosenberg and Dr. Erez Soref discussed a global Jewish awakening, citing growth from 2,000 converts in 1967 to over 1 million Messianic believers today. While the numbers inspire celebration, they also demand discernment, inviting deeper reflection on the complex spiritual landscape within the Jewish faith tradition. Can these numbers be trusted or is there an agenda behind the report?
REFRAMING PERSECUTION: Who Owns the Narrative?
Over more than four decades of walking alongside the persecuted Church, I’ve come to a sobering realization: for many Christians in the West, the story of persecution often centre’s more on the persecutor than the persecuted. We amplify the pain that fits our worldview and mute the cries that disturb our conscience. TAYBEH is a perfect example
THE IRAN-ISRAEL NARRATIVE: is it true, truth, or a double truth?
How we view the war in Iran can contain information that is true, factual, and verifiable, but even though it might be true, it might be void of truth. When the same truth is applied differently in different situations, it creates a double standard – or a double truth. Here are eight geopolitical double truths that highlight the double standards of Western media in the Iran-Israel conflict.
NOW IS THE TIME: By Dr Katanacho
How do we embrace this season when our spirits are frozen by hate and suspicion. A powerful poem by Dr. Yohanna Katanacho – a Palestinian Israeli Evangelical believer
ISRAEL’S REGIONAL STANDOFF: 3 Narratives that define its failures
When so many nations are voicing discontent with Israel’s bombardment on Gaza, it usually points to underlying issues that merit serious self-examination and dialogue. A true and honest self-reflection on why Israel faces such deep-seated hatred from its neighbours can be seen through at least three main narratives: Biblical, moral and social
FIRST HOSTAGES RELEASED – humanity has finally triumphed… or has it?
Christians gave a prayer of relief as three innocent Israeli hostages, who became collateral damage to political leaders and their quest for power, were given their freedom. To finally see the relief and joy, not only of the families but the whole community, stirred the hearts of every onlooker. Humanity has finally triumphed… or has it?
FROM TRAGEDY TO ATROCITY: Standing with the Church in Gaza and Lebanon
If we don’t share the pain of Christians in Gaza and Lebanon, we are either not part of the body of Christ or we suffer from diseases called spiritual leprosy and spiritual AIDS.
COMPLICIT CHRISTIANITY: How Gaza is shaping missions in the Middle East.
Complicit Christianity, pro-Israel advocates who support the military engagement in Gaza, will ultimately lead to the extinction of the Palestinian Church, the increase of persecution for local believers and a decrease in regional mission activities. The influence of Western Christian leaders and their vocal commitment to the destruction of Gaza could be compared to the Crusades which started in the 11th century, and will be equally devastating for the future of missions endeavours in the Middle East.
