To be clear: We should care about Ukraine. But not because it is European, or the people appear white, or they are “civilized” and not “impoverished.” All people deserve to be free and to be welcomed when their countries are at war.
Americans don't care for human beings.

I wish they can stop making noise and try Putin so he can deal with them decisively!! #UkraineRussiaWar
The British handed over control of Hong Kong to China in 1997 with the promise that China would retain the area's autonomy. China lied. Ukraine handed over its nukes in 1994, with American support, in exchange for a promise from Russia not to invade. Russia lied.
On that day, we must be able to look one another in the eye and say: ‘We gave it our all, we each played our part, we worked together as one nation, and we prevailed.’
May God Bless South Africa and protect her people.
“Faith is not in itself a meritorious act; the merit is in the One toward whom it is directed. Faith is a redirecting of our sight, a getting out of the focus of our own vision and getting God into focus. Sin has twisted our vision inward and made it self-regarding.” AW Tozer
“I’ll bring my judgements, all my offence.
I’ll leave my weapons and walls of defence.
I’ll surrender now
I’m learning how
To let love into the chaos
Inside of me” #houseonahill#waterunderthebridge#hearted… https://t.co/esLGmeSUIu
“So many people today portay Jesus as weak, the out-of-date artifact hanging on a church wall.... But Jesus was the non-conformist of all time. He took the conventions of religion, tradition, and love and turned them upside down.” - Toby McKeehan

"The meek man knows well that the world will never see him as God sees him and he has stopped caring [what the world thinks about him]." AW Tozer #tozer
Piper: “Beware of reading for quantity to impress anyone. Read for your soul. Find the books that strengthen your faith and make you want to live all-out for God.”
I wonder what the world would look like if we as Christians refused to believe anything less than the fact that the day Jesus gave us his holy Spirit to us was the day we stopped lacking anything .
“If God is Love, He is, by definition, something more than mere kindness…though He has often rebuked us and condemned us, He has never regarded us with contempt. He has paid us the intolerable compliment of loving us, in the deepest, most tragic, most inexorable sense.”
