Description

Mike Burnard confronts the church’s response to 667 days of war in Gaza with a radical challenge: "Stop positioning—start posturing." Key takeaways:



The Forgiveness Key: A moving story of an Israeli-Palestinian pastor reduced to tears when a woman simply said, "Forgive me"—revealing Christianity’s unique power to reconcile (Ephesians 4:31).

4 Confessions the Church Needs:



"Forgive our silence" on suffering.

"Forgive our justifications" of violence/hunger.

"Forgive our resignation" (“What can I do?”).

"Forgive our omission"—worshipping while ignoring the broken.



Heart Check: The Gaza conflict exposes our hearts—like Pharaoh’s, they harden or melt under the same heat (Exodus metaphor).



Urgent Call: "Compassion fatigue is hardening us. Christ isn’t found in debates—He’s with the starving, the hostages, the grieving."
