Amid the rubble of Gaza, survivors recount harrowing tales of endurance, loss, and resilience in the face of unimaginable devastation.

Israel and the U.S. government will continue the genocide in Gaza for many months until the Palestinians are annihilated or driven from their homeland and Greater Israel is consolidated.

EDITORIAL | MERRY CHRISTMAS!

What is even more extraordinary about the Manger in Bethlehem? It’s about salvation—preservation or deliverance from harm,ruin, or loss. “They try to present it to us as economic salvation.” In theology, salvation signifies deliverance from sin and its consequences – a return to God.

I sense salvation as being enveloped in His Holy Presence, “where there is fullness of joy.” Salvation on earth is a journey toward holiness. The path to salvation is narrow and challenging, filled with convoluted uphill obstacles.

On earth, Salvation – the walk and talk toward holiness – is more complicated than in heaven. Thank goodness for grace. One can’t earn their way into heaven. Grace is a given.

The manger trumpets an existential truth, a life, and a way known from the beginning:

               Talk his truth.
               Live his life.
               Walk his way.

Christians believe they are called to become a light among nations, to spread the good news about the Kingdom of God, the Promised Land.

Jews are called to become a light among nations and to invite others into the Promised Land.

Muslims are called to become a light among nations to encourage people everywhere to submit to Allah (in Arabic), Elohah (sound-alike in Hebrew), and Elohim (the plural perception of God as described in Genesis).

Zion, the Kingdom of God, is the Promised Land. The Good News is that Zionism is a return to God.

Biblically, Zion always refers to the City of God. We can achieve global peace through God's strength, rather than relying solely on our own.

Christmas means a return to God.

Writing about the genocide taking place in Palestine seems the most obvious thing in the world to do. That other people do not think so confounds and depresses me
