The woman to look at culture from a Christian worldview I'm John Stone Street with the point.

Agents from Moscow sent out on a mission to suppress torture and kill religious dissidents.

What might sound like a story from Cold War days isn't.

It's been happening for at least the last two years, not only in Ukraine, but even in Russia itself.

And a recent article in Time magazine described the scale, quote, over 30 cases of religious clergy killed and kidnapped 109 known cases of interrogations, forced

expulsions, imprisonment, arrests, 600 houses of worship destroyed, and these are just the confirmed

numbers.

According to an ideology that dominates Russia's most powerful elements,

there's no place for anything not actively in favor of the Kremlin. Therefore, evangelicals

who are often seen as more American than Russian are seen actually as problems to be dealt with.

It's a reminder that opposition to Christ does not come from only one direction.

Any time a state, a religion, or a society, sees itself as the highest good,

and the proper holder of our deepest allegiance,

oppression is sure to follow. For the Colson Center, I'm John Stone Street.
