1 month ago | baptistnews.com | Jack Nassar

The Gaza war has exposed a painful truth: the silence and complicity of many Western Christian leaders and churches in the face of atrocities against the Palestinian people.

Dec 9, 2024 | baptiststandard.com | Heather Choate Davis |Jack Nassar

And, most urgently, for the lives of those of us who, like me, call this Holy Land home? Political agendas disguised as Christian compassionToo often, American Christian support for Israel seems to prioritize political loyalty over Christ’s compassion.

In our age of advanced technology, where global connections are just a click away, a desperate cry echoes from the Gaza Strip — a cry from a land enduring the weight of more than 57 years of Israeli occupation and a brutal blockade that has suffocated it for more than 17 years. Gaza’s suffering is not merely a tale of survival; it is a stark testament to the fragility of human connections, unraveling in the cruel hands of geopolitical power struggles.

As I watch the relentless genocide unfolding in Gaza—now in its 10th agonizing month—my heart aches with profound anguish and moral outrage.

In the expansive landscape of global Christianity, two seemingly disparate regions—China and Palestine—share a profound yet often overlooked bond rooted in faith and endurance. Both regions’ Christian communities have endured severe trials, yet their stories frequently remain overshadowed by broader geopolitical conflicts.
Let's combat mockery with the love of Christ

Why such an aggressive assault on Christianity? What drives nations to fear Christian values, teachings, and Christ Himself? Historically, mockery and blasphemy against Christ are not new. Even during His crucifixion, He was scorned by those from His own people. Yet, Christ's words resonate: "Remember the word that I said unto you, the servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted Me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept My saying, they will keep yours also" (John 15:20).
