Sri Lanka sentenced 15 men for bombing churches

Sri Lanka’s High Court sentenced 15 men to life in prison on Tuesday for bombing churches.

In this island country off the coast of India in the Indian Ocean, the men participated in the bombings of three churches on Easter Sunday in 2019. Religiously speaking, nearly 70 percent of the 22 million Sri Lankans are Buddhist, 12 percent are Hindu, 11 percent are Muslim, and 7 percent are Christian. 

The terrorist group, Islamic State, inspired the attacks which killed over 250 people.

The Catholic Church welcomed the convictions. However, leaders are also calling for an investigation into alleged political involvement behind the bombings.

South Korea to greenlight Abortion Kill Pill for mothers

LifeSiteNews reports that South Korea is set to allow deadly abortion drugs into the country. The government made the announcement last week.

Mothers will be able to get Abortion Kill Pills up to nine weeks of their pregnancies by early 2027.

South Korea decriminalized abortion in 2019. It delayed legislation on abortion pills due to push back from Christian groups. 

United Nations trying to criminalize pro-life & pro-family positions

The United Nations General Assembly meeting opened in New York City on Tuesday. 

Leaders from around the world gathered to discuss issues like the U.S.-Iran war, the Russia-Ukraine war, and Artificial Intelligence. 

Member nations are also considering a proposal to criminalize pro-life and pro-family positions under international law. CitizenGO organized a petition against this which has been signed by over 140,000 people. You can sign it through a link in our transcript today at TheWorldview.com. 

In the midst of the foolishness at the United Nations, U.S. President Donald Trump stood tall for common sense and condemned transgenderism at the U.N. meeting. 

Listen. 

TRUMP: “It is equally unacceptable that, with all the genuine atrocities in the world, the U.N.’s top human rights officials spend their time criticizing the United States for protecting our children from transgender insanity.”

Dept of Justice gets two hospitals to stop transgender operations

In related news, the U.S. Department of Justice announced that two hospital systems have agreed to end transgender operations.

New York University Langone Hospitals and University of Pittsburgh Medical Center will no longer offer transgender drugs and surgeries to children. 

Attorney General Todd Blanche said, “Today’s resolutions send a clear message: Hospitals that target children in these practices and then fraudulently obtain payment for the procedures will be held to account!”

Over 40 hospital systems have ended transgender operations since President Trump began his second term last year.

28 percent of churchgoers say Biblical truth becomes obsolete

LifeWay Research released a new survey on what churchgoers believe about the Bible.

Most Protestant churchgoers in the U.S. are confident in their ability to understand the Bible and explain it to others.

However, most churchgoers also believe that the truth of God’s Word can mean different things to different people. And a growing number share doubt or reject Biblical truths. 

Specifically, 28 percent said some Biblical truths become obsolete as culture changes, up from 24 percent in 2019. Among churchgoers under the age of 30, 54 percent believe that Biblical truths become obsolete as culture changes

But Romans 12:2 says, “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.”

Microchip maker joins trillion-dollar club

Another U.S. company joined the trillion-dollar club.

Advanced Micro Devices, or AMD, surpassed one trillion dollars in market capitalization on Monday. The computer chip maker has profited from the growth of Artificial Intelligence computing. 

It’s now the fourth chipmaker in the United States to reach a trillion dollar valuation. The others are Nvidia, Broadcom, and Micron.  

Researchers discovered new species of wild cat

And finally, researchers discovered a new species of wild cat for the first time in a century. 

It’s known as the Tilcayo tiger cat. The feline is spotted and smaller than most house cats. It’s been living at a wildlife sanctuary in Bolivia, South America for years. Locals knew about it, but scientists had not identified it as a unique species until now. 

Jonas Lescroart with the University of Antwerp said, “Even in groups that are very well studied, like the cat family, apparently there’s still a diversity that is hidden.”

Indeed, God continues to surprise us with His creation. In Psalm 50:10-11, God says, “For every beast of the forest is Mine, and the cattle on a thousand hills. I know all the birds of the mountains, and the wild beasts of the field are Mine.”
