The Ukraine Conflict and the Five Stages of Loss
He who sits in the heavens laughs. ~ Psalm 2:4 This describes God’s perspective on the futile plots and rebellions of nations and earthly rulers against His authority. “God’s laughter, in this context, is not a joyful sound, but…

Is Zelenskyy really a dictator?
Or is he the heroic Churchillian figure he is made out to be?
Who is Volodymyr Zelenskyy?
What Evangelical Christian ministries got wrong when the Soviet Union opened to the Gospel in 1991
