Where do wars come from? James 4 verses 1 and 2<\/a> say “… come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members? \u00a0<\/sup><\/em><\/strong>Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not”. We are going through a period of constant strife in the world. Hot and cold wars, economic and trade wars, religious wars, idiological wars, gender wars, identity wars. It is hard to have peace in the middle of such a storm. More people are turning to God<\/strong>, for spiritual guidance and encouragement and to be able to endure in such stressing times. Ultimately, the fight ‘is not against flesh and blood but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places’. This month we have been very active trying to diversify our outreach with other means of engagement, i.e. posting Bible verses on Twiter, Facebook and Instagram:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, there are plenty of opportunities to comment on videos and shorts placed by others on the topics of faith, religion and social issues. A constant search for answers in the Word is actually quite a challenge but an efficient way to positively influence social debates. Many of the answers and guidelines contained in the Bible are perhaps forgotten and many people appreciate being reminded of them. With that purpose in mind, we updated the Verse Selection<\/strong> by Topics section to include ‘Jesus the Son of God – Trinity<\/a>‘ verses in all the 70 plus languages of site. Here is a sample:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The number of users and the interaction with the website remains satisfactory. We have not arrived at the level we would like, but the costs with bandwidth for audio downloads are already high for the budget of a family ministry such as ours. You may check the stats <\/strong>here below, and particularly the volume corresponding to audio downloads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
