Pray for the Precious People of Ukraine (and Russia), Traumatized by War

article - Randy Alcorn Randy's blog

On hearing the news of the invasion, my own mind immediately went back to 1991, when my longtime friend and pastor Steve Keels and I spent two weeks in Russia and Ukraine. It was the very year Ukraine would assert its independence, just months after we were there. 1991 was a unique and historic time in Ukraine. Change and the hope of freedom were in the air we were breathing.

It’s merciful because, given the various possibilities, we all can identify with Paul to some degree in our afflictions. It’s instructive because what Paul’s thorn was isn’t the point. The point is what God’s purpose was for the thorn.

The concentration camps of Nazi Germany are a testimony to what happens when people start deciding who has the right to live and who doesn’t.

If we take God’s Word seriously, we should avoid debt when we can, since “the borrower is servant to the lender” (Proverbs 22:7, NLT). And since Jesus tells us we cannot serve both God and money, we should ask ourselves, before undertaking any debt, How will this affect my capacity to give generously?
