A CONSTRUCTIVE VISION

At Constructive Christianity our goal is to promote the Christian vision for the world in a constructive way that engages contemporary culture with meaningful conversations about the nature of the cosmos and the meaning of life. Our belief is that our world only makes sense, as an integrated whole, when considered within the light of Christianity, and that human flourishing is exclusively achieved through living in the way our Creator God designed.

Russia, Ukraine and Biblical Prophecy

The 21st Century has not been short of its wars and rumours of wars, often filling our social media feeds with devastating footage of death, destruction and fleeing civilians. This was the case when Russia first invaded Ukraine, leading to the whole saga that has stimulated an attempt, in many, to connect these events with biblical prophecy. But does the bible specifically mention these events? Do we, as Christians, have any basis to be encouraged and hopeful? This brief blo
