Our Lord Jesus Christ is the way, the truth and the life (John 14:6), and Islam\u2019s rejection of Christ has left its adherents lost without the Way, oppressed by falsehood without the Truth and in danger of eternal death without the Life.

They are not merely showing respect; North Koreans are taught that the Kim family patriarchs, beginning with Kim Il Sung, have become gods. The current regime, led by Kim Jong Un, the third Kim in this succession, goes to astonishing lengths to restrict access to outside information \u2014 especially the truth of God\u2019s Word. We respond by using <a href=\"https:\/\/link.chtbl.com\/vomradio_eric_foley_2023?sid=VOM%20Stories\">several innovative methods to smuggle Bibles and broadcast Scripture<\/a> across their border.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We may easily fail to appreciate the plight of the lost in restricted nations.
