Many Russians flee Russia by train to Finland. In a war everyone is a loser. We are all sisters and brothers. There are many Russians living in Finland, and many experience more bullying or harrassment, because of what's going on in Ukraine. That's too sad.

Andy B 2 Minute Video, Pancakes Aren't Fiddly! S4, E36

youtu.be/ATALmDAlqLo

Pancakes are a great way of having fun while you cook AND eat. And we like them a lot in the BerryBunch household!

We all take part in both sides of the process, but, of course, the ending – and eating – is always the more popular. And that’s just Andy and Jo!

Sometimes it’s good not to fiddle with things – like painting. Paint over the spot too many times, and you ruin your work.

But food? Sometimes a little fiddling as it cooks is a great way to get the best result.

It may not make a huge difference to the eating, but since a picture paints a thousands words, and the proof is in the pudding, the final appearance really does matter!

Just a thought…

@Berrybunchfamily @DevotionalTreasures my heart is also turned towards Putin this morning. I pray for his salvation.

Endurance, Back To Basics, Season 4, Episode 1

youtu.be/tr3MYArpO7E

Endurance is your weekly spiritual workout, whether you think of yourself as a beginner, an intermediate, or advanced!

Explore with us as we kick of this new season with our first episode, ‘Back to Basics’.


Go Deeper with Andy B, as he talks about going back to basics.

Andy mentions supermarkets’ basic items ranges as he looks at how the word ‘basic’ means different things to different people.


Nathan and Steven discuss today’s theme, going back to basics, and provide three simple challenges:

Firstly, they recommend memorising John 3:16.

Secondly, they remind us of the importance of sharing the gospel with all those around us, through our actions not just words.

And lastly, they suggest writing a 100-word testimony as a short, concise answer for your faith.

@sinbach @jezzadiah4messiah my wife and children are extremely good at preventing me from taking myself too seriously 😂

I received (yesterday) this forwarded message from a sister in Christ in Finnish, and again my own translation of it to English:

"We got a message yesterday from our friend in Kiev:
I want to encourage you with the words of our known soldiers and of other common people who are coming from different warfronts. They tell:
"We feel your prayers. Sometimes happens something very inexplicable, like an invisible hand really would direct the bullets and other ammunitions away from us so that they fly us by. We get victories in very difficult situations, like if someone was guiding them. We become invisible to our enemy, but we self can see them in complete darkness so that we know what and how to react. All of this is giving us courage and strenght. We believe that the Lord Jesus himself is protecting Ukraine. We ask you, please, don't quit your prayers, but keep on praying. We need you!"

@sarikorpi wow. Praying on! Was praying just yesterday for Russian bullets to be redirected".

Wow - thanks for sharing

@DevotionalTreasures our family prayer time today was specifically about Putin meeting Jesus, or more specifically for Jesus to go meet him in person

Putin is the one man that can end these troubles.

Jesus is the only way to end these troubles

Happy Sunday everyone.

The Lord bless you all with his Word
and his Holy Spirit.

Please pray now brethren:
From BBC News now -
Vladimir Putin says he is moving the country's nuclear deterrent to 'special alert'
He says it's a response to Nato "aggression", including statements and sanctions

One quote to rule them all, and in the darkness guide them!

I often joke about there being a ‘Lord of the Rings’ line or quote to fit every situation in life.

Well, I would I’m a ‘Lord of the Rings’ fan! In saying that there is depth to some of the lines and quotes from the film or book whether from Gandalf, Bilbo Baggins, Frodo, or Sam or any of the other characters.

“It is the same with my word. I send it out, and it always produces fruit. It will accomplish all I want it to, and it will prosper everywhere I send it.” (Isaiah 55:11).

You can’t kill off hope!

A quick little blog post that I wrote today, on this Sunday.

Because the small spot of sun, that was poking around a curtain, inspired me to remember to never give up hope!

Romans 5 points us to a hope, not in a something, but a someone. And that someone has a name, and that name is Jesus Christ!

The coming night and tomorrow day are critical moments. At stake is everything, what the whole civilisized world believes and what it has built so far.

With tears in our eyes we request you, no matter on what time zone you are in, to spend time in prayer and fasting in front of God. 🙏

Pray the Lord to protect us from insane armies, which wants to mock at the cost of faith and God's truth.

We ask you to share this message to all your friends, relatives and acquaintances in Europe, Asia, America and all over the world!

Prayer is stronger than the strongest enemy🙏🙏🙏!

Your brothers and sisters from Ukraine 💙💛

@bethany with you in this. I used to preach and teach at the front of a church that had been there for many hundreds of years, with churches on that exact spot for around 1,000 years

When I spoke, I was always reminded of the people that had spoken before me, and the people that had come to worship there

It was humbling to me to say anything there!

@tanjaostman @sinbach I've blocked loads of people

I see it like this...my social media is my lounge...would I want that person or attitude in my home? No? Ban em! simples

Well done Tanja!!

I just a moment ago received a forwarded message in Finnish from Christians in Ukraine. I made my own translation of it to English (as best as I could) to post it also here:

An urgent message from
Vitaly Orlov

Sumy's Christian church's
Pastor/Bishop,
Verkhovna Rada, Kiev

Beloved friends, brothers and sisters from all over the world.

We appeal to you in this dark time for all of us, when the black clouds of bombs cover the sun over our capital city.

This night the elite specialforces of the Russian federation together with Tsetsenian units attacks one of the world's oldest (from 400 A.C) and most beautiful cities, the spiritual capital of East-Europe - Kiev🇺🇦.

At this moment there are streetfights going on in Kiev. Everyone who are able to hold a gun in their hands; even senior citizens, students and pupils, have raised up to defend the city.

Marriage Matters, Date Night, Season 1, Episode 6

Https://youtu.be/YXHRbmxAHqY

Andy B and Jo wax lyrical about the benefits of the having Date Night in our marriages. A Date Night, as far as Jo and Andy are concerned, is a designated, planned, quality time with your spouse where spontaneity does not have to go out the window!

In fact, Date Night, in Jo and Andy’s experience can be Date Day, Date Lunch or Date Drive! Anytime, any place when you spend time together as a couple is a kind of ‘Date Night’ or a variation on this theme and what you do with that time is totally up to you!

Andy & Jo encourage us to be creative with our Date Nights; going out or staying in for meals together, playing games, watching films, doing stuff we enjoy!
