We are gutted by the news of the horrific and senseless act of violence in Australia during a Hanukkah gathering by the sea. What should have been a moment of light, warmth, and family togetherness was shattered by hatred.
Our hearts break knowing that families were targeted - parents, children, the elderly. Jew hatred is an evil from the pit of hell. We have to call it out when we see it which has been too frequent as of late. The cruelty of such violence is overwhelming, and the pain it has caused reaches far beyond borders. To our Jewish friends, we grieve with you, we ache with you, and we mourn the lives forever changed. May the memories of those harmed be held with blessing, and may the light of Hanukkah shine even in this dark moment. As Christians, we stand in solidarity with the Jewish people against this globalized intifada. Am Yisrael Chai!

What an amazing organization - Magen David Adom (MDA), Israel’s national emergency medical and blood-services organization, operates with a clear mission: to save lives. It was an honour to visit their site in Israel.

We really enjoyed meeting MP Williamson. We love his heart for prayer and his stand against antisemitism.

Great meeting with Chris & Marilyn Byberg from the National House of Prayer this week on Parliament Hill. It was wonderful to hear about their ministry’s work strengthening the foundation of families and communities by encouraging quiet reflection and progress through prayer. Prayer reminds us that we are never alone, it uplifts us, and has carried generations of Canadians through hardship and uncertainty as well as the everyday ups and downs of life.

This news hit us hard. We didn’t know Charlie Kirk. We had never met him. We didn’t even follow him. Of course, we watched many of his videos and saw him as a champion of truth. We certainly admired his courage. When we got the news that he had died, it felt like a family member had passed. This senseless killing was an attack on all of our freedoms, even for those that disagreed with Charlie.

Charlie Kirk died in battle, not on a foreign field, but in the fight for freedom. He was fighting for one of the most essential freedoms we possess: freedom of speech. His battleground was at Universities but his fight was not with students, but rather for them. His true opponent was an ideology that silences, cancels, and distorts truth. As the Apostle Paul reminds us, “our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms” (Ephesians 6:12).

In today’s culture, words are wielded like weapons. Labels such as “Nazi,” “Hitler,” “racist”, “right wing activist” and even “libtard”, “snowflake” or “radical left” are carelessly hurled at those we disagree with. Labels dehumanize people. Words without dialogue are not only harmful, they carry the power to condemn, ostracize, and even incite violence. It is like placing a loaded gun into the hands of someone who hears and believes the lies.

We see this tragically with the Jewish people. They are branded with terms like “apartheid,” “genocide,” and “baby killers.” These accusations are untrue, yet they fuel hatred. And hatred, left unchecked, moves some to kill. Isaiah’s warning echoes here: “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness”(Isaiah 5:20).

That is why we must take words seriously. For everyone who has carelessly used these labels publicly, we must recognize a sobering truth: we share in the guilt of what those words provoke. The old saying goes, “sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” But in the world we now live in, words do hurt. Words can wound and divide. It can even kill and destroy lives. James cautions us, “Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. The tongue also is a fire”(James 3:5-6).
Charlie Kirk understood this reality. He fought to keep the dialogue going because he believed that ongoing conversation would lead to mutual respect. He battled against the lies of destructive ideologies so that students might learn to think freely, seek truth, and speak without fear. For, as Jesus declared, “You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free” (John 8:32).
It’s about truth and not about being right.
That was Charlie’s battle. And it must be ours, too.
Let's continue to pray for the Kirk family.

Antisemitism is a a vertical battle between
Heaven and hell. It cannot be fought horizontally.
God must intervene. We as God's people must look vertically to Him for the answers.
