Bonhoeffer: A Thrilling Story of Courage for Our Time

What does it take to stand against evil when the cost is everything? Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s life challenges us to wrestle with this question. The new film, Bonhoeffer: Pastor. Spy. Assassin., brings his incredible story to life, recounting his journey from theologian to resistance fighter during Nazi Germany’s darkest days.

Bonhoeffer’s world was one of profound moral collapse. As Hitler rose to power, the church in Germany faltered, many leaders compromising their faith to align with the Nazi regime. Bonhoeffer, however, stood firm. He refused to bow to a corrupted church, calling it “religion without Christ.” Instead, he became a voice of defiance, speaking out against antisemitism, racism, and the idolatry of power.

In 1945, just days before his prison camp was liberated by Allied forces, Bonhoeffer was executed. His final words remain hauntingly hopeful: “This is the end—but for me, the beginning.”

Terrorist attack on bus near Ariel wounds nine

A terrorist exited his vehicle at the Giti Avisar Junction near Ariel in central Samaria shortly after noon on Friday and fired his weapon at a Tel Aviv-bound No. 286 bus.

Nine victims, including civilians and soldiers, were wounded by gunfire and shrapnel—three seriously, one moderately and the rest lightly. The terrorist was killed. It was initially thought there was a second terrorist who fled, but that proved not to be the case.

United Hatzalah EMTs Hanan Afik and Tidhar Hozeh said: “We provided initial medical treatment to eight people who were wounded. Three are in serious condition, one in moderate condition, and four were lightly injured. Additionally, we provided aid to people suffering from trauma resulting from the attack.”

According to a Palestinian report, the terrorist was Samer Atal, 47, a father of five from Einabus, south of Nablus.

Earlier this month, Palestinian...

Trusting God Sovereignty in Times of Uncertainty and Fear

As we look back across recent events—a hard-fought election season stirring emotions nationwide, violent antisemitic attacks shocking the Jewish community, and ever-evolving global tensions—one thing becomes abundantly clear: life can shift in a heartbeat. From one headline to the next, we are reminded of the instability in the world and the ever-pressing need for courage, faith, and unwavering prayer.

At Christian Women For Israel, we stand firm in the knowledge that God is sovereign over every circumstance, every fear, and every hope. Yet, it’s not always easy to rest in that truth. When news reports seem only to highlight tragedy or division, it can be tempting to turn to our own resources for control and understanding. But we, as modern-day Esthers, are called to take a different approach.

Reflecting on the turmoil of Kristallnacht 86 years ago, the violent "Night of Broken Glass" that foreshadowed unimaginable suffering, we remember the courageous few who,...

"Let My People Go": A Call for Freedom Echoes Through Israel's History

In a moment that recalls the ancient cry of Moses before Pharaoh, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu invoked powerful words: "Let my people go!" This bold declaration wasn’t directed at an ancient oppressor, but at Hamas—the terror group that has held Israeli hostages captive since the horrific attacks on October 7, 2023. Just as Pharaoh hardened his heart and refused to free the Israelites, Hamas continues to resist all efforts to release the innocent men, women, and children it holds in bondage.

In the days ahead, Netanyahu has vowed to increase military and political pressure on Hamas, much like the plagues of Egypt were used to break Pharaoh’s grip on the people of Israel. The parallels are striking, reminding us that Israel’s fight for freedom has always been a part of its prophetic journey.

The story of Moses leading the Israelites out of Egypt is not just a historical event—it is a profound...

Join us as a CW4I Mitzvah Maker!

“Observe the days as days of feasting and joy and giving presents of food to one another and gifts to the poor.”
Esther 9:22 

This week's Mitzvah Challenge is to give presents of food to one another and gifts to the poor in observation of Purim. 

The tradition of Purim is one of the most festive and joyous holidays on the Jewish calendar. The book of Esther commands that it be celebrated on the 14th and 15th days of Adar.

Jewish people celebrate life on Purim by hosting festivals, dressing in costumes, indulging in food and drink, and giving gifts of food to the needy. 

Purim is to be a time of "feasting and joy, of sending presents to one another and gifts to the poor." Esther 9:22

Devotional: "Start with Jesus"

Scripture:I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last-Rev 22:13

Message: If He is the beginning and the end,why not start with Him?
Beloved,Life begins and start having meaning when you meet Jesus.
Beloved How you start,who you start with will determine how and where you end.
Rising without Him is rising to fall.Mourning in the morning is inevitable if we don’t start with HIM, for life is full of Battles.


Why not start with He who can see the end from the beginning,the mighty one in Battle?


There is a proverbial saying that,what a man sees even seating down,a child can’t see when standing.Seeing well and afar is not about height.Its about God. If you make it anyway without the ONLY WAY(Jesus) you have failed.Riches without Christ is self affliction.Marriage without Him is like  preparing a soup without salt.Life without Him is like buying unfamiliar device without a manual.Success without Jesus is still failure.How then should you start your...

Devotional: "Such A Time As This"

Scripture: "Who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this?"Esther 4:14
   
Message: The Book of Esther is a story of what God did in the life of a woman to literally save a nation.Esther was a Jew who was plucked out of obscurity through an unusual chain of events and was made queen over the kingdom.A poor orphan,slave yet became very USEFUL.Men May turn their BACK against you because of your BACKGROUND,but not God.When a wicked man named Haman had been devising a plot to put to death the 15 million Jews in that kingdom,Mordecai,Esther’s uncle, came to the palace, wanting Esther to use her influence to help her people.

He sent word to Esther, “Do not think in your heart that you will escape in the king’s palace any more than all the other Jews.For if you remain completely silent at this time, relief and deliverance will arise for the Jews from another place,but you and your father’s house will perish.Yet who knows whether...
