A CONSTRUCTIVE VISION

At Constructive Christianity, our mission is to engage in meaningful conversations that promote the Christian vision for the world.

Afterall, this world only ever makes sense when viewed in light of Jesus.

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
