A BIG THANK YOU to all of our loving supporters who make this possible.

A picture of Finnish soldiers on skis, with Russian soldiers that are captives, during the Winter War (WWII). @sinbach told about these swift soldiers on skis, on a BTJ podcast episode. He's not the only one who has compared the war in Ukraine, with the Finnish Winter War. Stalin believed Finland would be overtaken in less than 2 weeks, but Finland showed unexpected resitance (just like Ukraine). We stayed independent.
For our friends near Nashville - TOMORROW is the last day of the #SHACKLED book tour with Mariam Ibraheem.

Today I read about a moral scandal by the founder and leader of one of the most famous denominations in our world. I won't mention his name, because this post is not about it - but it's just an example that strong hierarchies, control, titles or fame etc. can't protect anybody from sinning. A strong relationship with Jesus Christ himself is the best protection. Some say that you can't control people, and make sure they don't fall into sin or heresies in non-hierachical churches, like #housechurches but there is no Biblical proof for that idea. If Jesus Christ is the head of His Church (instead of a dominant leader), and Lord of our lives, things will fall into place. The book Reimagining Church by Frank Viola, focuses a lot on what the Bible says about leadership. A leader serves the people. The most common picture of the ekklesia is family (sisters, brothers), and leadership is being fathers and mothers.
If you don't have symptoms but think you are sick, you are called hypochondriac - something they have tried to make all of us lately.

@Cherishingsparrows2020 @sarikorpi uh oh.... I don't know if it would be good to answer that question.... Ask @bethany - THAT can be a DANGEROUS question to ask me.
BUT i will give you my top two - two movies that most people have seen -
#1. Gladiator
#2. The Notebook
These Ukrainian Christians are my heroes. Most people would be scared to death if they would be in the same situation - in between two Russian frontlines. They don't deny reality (they are in contact with the military). And they don't deny the Biblical reality.
Hi!
There's a ca. 10-minute video in here with Lara Logan PACKED with truth about what's happening.

"From the beginning of the Russia-Ukraine crisis we are taught to believe that Ukraine is innocent and Russia is the aggressor.
However, nothing can be farther from the truth. Russia is not losing this war despite what the Western intelligent and media personalities want you to believe. The Russian army is carrying out its operations as part of its overall plan.
Regardless of how the media portrays Russia and its leaders, the Western propaganda is equally disturbing."
@Berrybunchfamily Spring is arriving and it is so very welcome. It's wonderful to enjoy the "little things" in life, such as hanging your clean laundry. There is so much going on in the world today that can dishearten us or cause us to fear. In this world, we will face trouble, but JESUS has overcome the world. He's already done it. It's not that He might do it, or even that He will do it eventually. He HAS done it. Resurrection Sunday is coming soon, but we can already celebrate His victory that is now ours. We can enjoy the good gifts He gives us. I believe He wants us to enjoy the sunrise, the sunset, a job well-done, a smile or hug from a loved one, a greeting from a stranger, or whatever goodness He sends our way. He knows there are difficulties to face, but our seeing His hand in the small details of life helps to put these trials in perspective. He is so worthy of our praise and our worship. Thank you for sharing these joys from your day!
So you don't think the war in Ukraine isn't spiritual warfare?
Think again.
We need prayer warriors like NEVER before during these last days.
"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."
