The Russian invasion of Ukraine has you feeling like me. You're somewhere past confusion, but short on confidence. Are you feeling fearful? I recognize fear because I cry when I'm afraid. I haven't cried yet, but I have felt tears well up.

But I have seen others begin to spread fear. Before you become a fear monger, especially at your church and with your Christian friends, I'd ask you to think it through.

We know who to fear. And we know what not to fear. And we know why.

Do not let circumstances cause you to forget this.
