Ukraine’s Three-to-One AdvantageIt’s not technology or tactics that have given Ukrainian fighters their greatest edge. A few nights ago in Lviv, after an early dinner (restaurants shut at 8 p.m. because of curfew), I stepped into the elevator of my hotel. I was chatting with a colleague when a man in early middle age, dressed … More What Foreign Fighters Are Seeing in Ukraine
Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson sat before the Senate this week and boldly stated that she does not know what a woman is because she’s not a biologist. Her statement says a lot, not necessarily about the judge, as John points out, but more about how we view the judiciary in this cultural moment. John and … More What Is a Woman, Ketanji Brown Jackson, and Radical Monogamy
As this article points out, praying for Russia’s defeat is fine, even praying those tough Psalms that invoke God’s wrath. But it is not the end-all. Right in the middle of the Bible are passages that many find uncomfortable. The imprecatory psalms are among the hymns that were sung by the people of God, but … More Praying All of the Psalms Over Russia
In his book Life With a Capital L, author Matt Heard (also a speaker at this year’s Wilberforce Weekend) describes a famous oil painting by Russian artist Nikolai Yaroshenko: “Five diverse prisoners—a soldier, a worker, a peasant, a mother and a child—are huddled together, peering through the barred window of a halted prison railcar… READ MORE > … More Life Is Everywhere

All of Matthew 24, but especially Matthew 24:34-38, make it clear (among other scripture) that only the Triune God Himself … More Does the Bible say anything about Russia in relation to the end times?
In the early hours of the morning on February 24, the Russian Federation invaded the nation of Ukraine. If you’ve turned on a news channel over the past 24 hours, you’ve undoubtedly seen endless videos of Russian helicopters, fighter jets, troop carriers, and tanks attacking Ukraine. Russian forces have begun a full-scale assault on Ukraine … More As Russia Invades Ukraine, Here are Three Ways Christians Should Respond
The top headline of the past few weeks has been the saber-rattling out of Moscow. This week, Russian leader Vladimir Putin stepped even closer to waging war against Ukraine.

Baptist Union in Russia “Baptists are particularly dangerous,” noted a Russian newspaper in 1972. “Every Russian Baptist tries to win adherents to his faith.” Indeed there was some truth to this, for Johann Gerhardt Oncken, one of the first German Baptists, taught that “every Baptist is a missionary” and it was through the testimony of … More Today in Church History
