How often has God made grasshoppers His armies! An atheist in his blindness indeed insists that this speaks slanderously of God. But this is God’s greatest honor, that no mosquito in the universe can move without Him; for outside of God there is nothing that can say to Him: “You do your thing, I’ll do mine.” God says to him: “You are a zero as soon as I cease to operate in you and for you.” And this applies equally to the archangel as well as the smallest frog, yes, the tiniest mosquito, the tiniest mite and moth. Truly, this is a most blessed teaching! A person who has rightly comprehended it goes through the world in an entirely different manner. He sees the dear God everywhere with the eyes of faith. Part of a Christian’s makeup is that he does not walk through the world like a cow. A Christian, walking through a meadow, sees the hand of God everywhere—how He beautifully clothes the lovely flowers, how He places power into grain, so that man and beast are sustained by it.

Telegram, which does little policing of its content, has also became a hub for Russian propaganda and misinformation. Many pro-Kremlin channels have become popular, alongside accounts of journalists and other independent observers. So, uh, whenever I hear about Telegram, it’s always in relation to something bad. What gives? In view of this, the regulator has cautioned investors not to rely on such investment tips / advice received through social media platforms. It has also said investors should exercise utmost caution while taking investment decisions while dealing in the securities market. Despite Telegram's origins, its approach to users' security has privacy advocates worried. Given the pro-privacy stance of the platform, it’s taken as a given that it’ll be used for a number of reasons, not all of them good. And Telegram has been attached to a fair few scandals related to terrorism, sexual exploitation and crime. Back in 2015, Vox described Telegram as “ISIS’ app of choice,” saying that the platform’s real use is the ability to use channels to distribute material to large groups at once. Telegram has acted to remove public channels affiliated with terrorism, but Pavel Durov reiterated that he had no business snooping on private conversations.
