Israel is the Church’s blindspot

Any serious intercessor understands the importance of praying for Israel, yet most of the Church remains blind to the reality of God’s ongoing plan for the Jews, says Steve Maltz

In all the many years I have been on Facebook I have never ‘unfriended’ anyone…until now.

He was a casual acquaintance, a Christian from the far left. My unfriending took place on the day when the massacre at kibbutz Kfar Aza was discovered, and this person had created a series of anti-Israel posts with no mention of the Hamas atrocities.

I felt my anger bubbling under. This was not healthy and I texted a couple of prominent ministry leaders to warn them not to react in the same way. One replied, regretfully admitting the anger he was also experiencing.
