There is scientific and statistical evidence for everything he says (I have read lots of them)! This world has gone mad. Please wake me up from this nightmare!

@Cherishingsparrows2020 Great! There is something special with the lyrics, more than in the average Christmas carol. This verse gives me goosebumps: "Truly He taught us to love one another
His law is love and His gospel is peace
Chains He shall break
For the slave is our brother
And in His Name
All oppression shall cease..."
One of my favorite Christmas hymns! Tori Kelly's voice is perfection. https://youtu.be/nYfk-qHUJOo
From a book called Broken English. I suppose you have experienced some of it @sinbach Here are a few examples from China, and one from Finland. There are even worse, but I suppose it's not appropriate to share it openly on DD. 😂
@Cherishingsparrows2020 I haven't heard that testimony! I need to look it up. His songs and life are touching!
@Cherishingsparrows2020 thanks for sharing the songs! A beautiful song and beautiful family.
@Cherishingsparrows2020 wow! Interesting that you thought about his song yesterday and that you have met him! I hadn't heard about him until som days ago.
@sinbach this is too fun! 😂
@sinbach I am so NOT politically correct... 😀
This song is not new, but I heard it for the first time yesterday. It is powerful.
"Gilbert was 17 when his father was stabbed 26 times and killed for his faith and ministry in Iran. God transformed the tragedy into a profound testimony when Gilbert forgave the persecutors. Gilbert wrote this song and dedicated it to the ones who caused him to mourn.

@His_story @Olamide Thank you for that comment! And it's a little bit contradicting, since a great majority of the population is (nominal) evangelical Christians. Around 70 % belong to the Lutheran State Church (in the 80s it was 90 %). But it's a very strong tradition with infant baptism, which leads to membership. So most members haven't chosen themselves to become members.
@Olamide Here is an article! I didn't even read it all through or watched the videos, but I think the content is fair. https://thefederalist.com/2021/11/23/in-case-with-global-implications-finland-puts-christians-on-trial-for-their-faith/?fbclid=IwAR03Q_ybBGdHdOwr8iZlwbxWcmvBVNUbWQOkK77kebEBvgIGUT9Ib0r7K4A
@Olamide @bethany @MaryMamuzich This is both true and not true... It's always tricky to cover a topic only with a short text/meme. I must admit that I haven't followed this in detail, because the case with Päivi Räsänen has been going on for a couple of years. The trial is not over yet, so she has not been setenced yet. I follow her on FB, and there she links an article where the headlines says that she thinks she will win the trial. Here is an interview (made in Norway) with her in English: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44pyFC3rawg
