His church was in ministry BEFORE Russia invaded Ukraine. I have witnessed the struggle of these Ukrainian Christians to devide to pick u pa weapon or not. Basically, the decision was for each to decide for themselves without criticism: but either way to serve. Some Christians take up weapons. Others care for the fallen or meet humanitarian requests for food, medical care or assist refugees. They serve others & pray for the unity with recognition of Ukraine & pray for peace

struggle of these Ukrainian Christians to decide to pick up weapon or not. The conclusion was to let each decide for themselves, without criticism.

Thanks for explaining; it makes sense to me now.

The LORD looks from heaven;
He sees all the sons of men;
From His dwelling place He looks out
On all the inhabitants of the earth,
He who fashions the hearts of them all,
He who understands all their works.

The king is not saved by a mighty army;
A warrior is not delivered by great strength.
A horse is a false hope for victory;
Nor does it deliver anyone by its great strength.

Behold, the eye of the LORD is on those who fear Him,
On those who hope for His lovingkindness,
To deliver their soul from death,
And to keep them alive in famine.
Our soul waits for the LORD;
He is our help and our shield.
For our heart rejoices in Him,
Because we trust in His holy name.

Let Thy lovingkindness, O LORD, be upon us,
According as we have hoped in Thee.

Ps. 33:13-22
