Excerpt from this article: "According to “The Black Book of Communism: Crimes, Terror, Repression,” a text considered the standard recollection of the USSR’s atrocities, 20 million perished as a result of Stalin’s targeted killings, forced labor, famine, and collectivization. These numbers were confirmed by a major Soviet newspaper in 1989...An estimate cited by the libertarian magazine Reason puts the total number of people killed because of communism from 1900 to 2000 at a staggering 94 million — making it by far the bloodiest ideology in recent history."

Recommended Podcast: A Christian Perspective on the War in Ukraine, by Dr. Peter Hammond
Here are 5 short excerpts from this message:
"Some Ukrainians have said to me that the American policy seems to be to fight to the last Ukrainian."
"Notice the crime that Donald Trump is guilty of is he's the only American President since Herbert Hoover - in other words for 80 years - who hasn't started a new war. So, he was obviously committing treason against the Military Industrial Complex."
"The first casualty in war is truth."
"To keep the people interested you've got to create the impression there's hope for the Ukrainian military cause, they're gonna win, they are winning, the Russians are losing..."
"I've had Americans say to me in public meetings in America, 'You know why they hate us? Because we're free.' I said, 'No, they hate you because you're bombing them. Stop bombing them. Nobody hates Switzerland and the Swiss are free. But they don't bomb other countries, they send the Red Cross. If you would stop bombing other countries and meddling in their countries and organizing coups and revolutions, then maybe you wouldn't have so many enemies.' That wasn't very popular because as you know every country on earth deserves to be bombed by America."

Recommended sermon: The Story of Our Ukrainian Friends, by Rev. David Park [Text: Matthew 25:31-46 (Audio)]
Note: This congregation sings the great missionary hymn, From Greenland's Icy Mountain. But they altered verse 2 to fit the current circumstances:
"Though raging war envelopes o'er Ukraine's fruitful plains, Dark Shadows gather daily and terror sadly reigns. The Savior will be honored, and His word is proclaimed. And sinners will be gathered, and gospel truth maintained."
